They did what they said they would do and there's time frame of when they said they would do it. It was just fine.

Dymin handled everything and my photos were intact on my new laptop. A year later, I had some issues and went back to Dymin because of my previous positive experience. It turned out I had several viruses. They cleaned my laptop and got me connected with different security software, more effective (and free) than what had been recommended by another service provider. I was very pleased with the outcome and their service. In both cases, Dymin people were professional, friendly, considerate, and knowledgeable. The work was completed when they said it would be.

These guys are great, if you have an appt they are on time. If you have droppedoff an item, it's ready when they say it will. Most importantly they speak in English not geek at least for us customers

My experience with Dymin was several years ago. I don't remember exactly what my computer problem was, so I don't remember exactly what Dymin folks did for me! I do remember that I was very satisfied -- and relieved, since I am not very computer savvy -- and that I would use them again in the same situation.

Regarding a refurbished computer purchase, the company did offer a 90 return policy but the computer stopped working just outside of the 90 days. It was a lot of money to spend to not have a computer last longer than it did. The hard drive failed. I talked to Dymin but did not get any result. Regarding having Dymin remove information from the families old PC's, the result was very successful. Dymin then disposed of the computers at my request. I do not have the paperwork anymore. The date of service and amount is an estimate.
Response from Dymin Computer Systems
"I'm so sorry that the computer you purchased from us has a problem with its hard drive. That's very uncommon with Dymin's computers as we selectively "cherry pick" the computers that we sell, and the only computers you'll find on Dymin's showroom are quality computers that we can stand behind. Our refurbished computers are totally different from your typical "used" computer that you might buy online or from a Craigslist ad. We perform a factory restore on the Operating System, fully clean them, and run them through actual diagnostic testing programs. As with anything electronic, however, sudden and unexpected breakdowns do occur. When deciding upon the length of warranty to include with our refurbished computers, we wanted to also be able to offer great prices, so we ultimately decided to go with the industry-standard 3 month warranty. As a courtesy for our customers, we always offer to waive the labor charges in the unlikely event that a breakdown does occur within a reasonable time from the expiration of the warranty."

I started using Dymin many years ago (9-10 or so). At that time their computer techs came to my home for much of the work, or picked up my computer for a $20. pick up and delivery fee Other times when I could get my computer to them, (using a neighbor or taxi service) they worked on it in their shop. I had them build and update 2-3 computers with memory and other things over the years. Back until 2-3 years ago I felt they had plenty of staff and valued me as a loyal customer. But things changed for reasons I don't know about, and some of the staff they had for quite some time were no longer there. I used to be able to talk with the owner by phone or email, but I could not get him to return emails or phone calls. When I went to buy my last desk top computer about six months ago, I both emailed and called to speak to the owner, since the head technical support man was no longer there. I was going to be spending $2000-2500., and I wanted to see what they had to offer me. I did not want to talk to someone I did not know. I never got a call or email back from the owner or anyone else, so I decided I would buy from someone who would answer all my questions and customize things nicely for me, within my price range and give me a three year in home repair (if possible) warranty on the new computer. I bought a new one. About 3-4 weeks after my attempts to reach Scott, who I knew over time to be the owner, I got a call from a man I did not know, who said he was in charge of sales at DYMIN and he heard I left a message!! I said he and Scott were about a month too late. While they did good work in the earlier years I used them, I felt the company became more impersonal and changed to the point where I felt more safe and more comfortable using a larger company who had a great warranty and who gave me everything I needed and more, plus time to pay for it. I don't know what their technical repair or new computer sales quality is like now at DYMIN, since it has been a couple of years since I have used them, and their staff has changed.

Over 11 years ago. Dymin built a computer for my son. It was used for several years. without any problems. When we wanted a newer, updated computer, we bought a used one from Dymin and have been very pleased with it. At one point the used computer got a virus on it, and Dymin removed the virus. The computer has worked great since then. I am very pleased with their services and will continue to do business with them.

This was five or six years ago. My Gateway PC crashed and Dymin advised it was not repairable. They were able to build a competitively priced PC to meet my needs, and it is stlll running. I had friendly, prompt service.

They do a good job. Seems like most computer companies don't agree with each other the best way to do things. Dymin systems seems to be consitent with their approach to computer system challenges, and results have been good for Jerry's Homes.

Response from Dymin Computer Systems
"Thank you so much for choosing Dymin to repair your computer and I'm very glad that your computer repair went well! And also thank you very much for the valuable feedback. I'm so sorry that you felt pressured to buy a different computer. I agree that that would be frustrating. Our technicians are trained to evaluate the cost of any repair and compare it to the retail value of the computer they're repairing, and should that cost near or exceed the computer's current retail value, we'll recommend against having it repaired. We truly believe that NOT doing so would be a disservice to our customers, and we always try to help you get the BEST value for your money. Microsoft has also recently annouced that Windows XP version of software that your computer was operating has been officially discontinued, and in fact it is now highly susceptible to malware (malicious software). Additionally, due to the lack of updates, Windows XP will rapidly become incapable of viewing most modern websites. Business that are required to comply with HIPAA practices (medical privacy act) and PCI (internet credit card processing) have also stated that having any computer that runs Windows XP is now incompliant. I know that it is very unpleasant to feel pushed to upgrade or make a purchase you weren't expecting. The salesperson in question will receive special training over the next two weeks, so that we can be better prepared to make the recommendations with the best interests of the customer in mind, and without sounding pushy. I am also arranging for this topic to be covered at our next monthly Customer Service training meeting with all staff. Again, thank you so much for your patronage, and if you have any questions about our recommendation, I would be happy to discuss those pros and cons with you personally. Just give us a call and ask for me! My best, Mike Hurt Operations Manager"

The person I talked to at the front desk either wrote the order wrong or the techs who do the work didn't read the order and just did what they always do when someone wants a second drive installed and data copied from an old computer to a new one. The techs installed the OS and my data both on the new SSD. Of course, the new 240 Gb SSD was then almost full. So I got a call asking me what I wanted done and counseling me to leave the OS on the new drive and put the data on the original drive. I knew how to use a separate drive as a scratch disk, but not how to work with two drives with the OS on one drive and data on another. Following my original directions or ten minutes of upfront explanation would have saved me hours of researching on the net because when I called Dymin to ask, I did not get a call back. Note: The cost below includes the cost of the SSD. The SSD itself cost $147.
Response from Dymin Computer Systems
"Thank you so much for trying Dymin Systems, and for your valuable feedback. I'm so sorry our service feel short of your expectations, but please allow me to explain our process and reasoning. The best, and most easy and effective way to operate any computer is to have all your computer's information (both Operation System and Data) stored on a single hard drive. During our initial consultation to discuss upgrading your computer to an SSD, we did not yet know how much information your old hard drive currently held within it. Our initial goal then was to determine that amount of information and compare it to the capacity of your SSD. Upon finding out that your data would not fit on to your new SSD, we called you to talk about your options. I absolutely understand that working with 2 hard drives in a computer can be confusing, which is why we always check to see if your computer can be used with the data all on one hard drive first. Unfortunately with your computer, that was not possible, and you asked us to load the data on a secondary hard drive for you. While we do everything possible to prepare users for how to operate a computer with 2 hard drives, it does come with a slight learning curve. I did review our phone call recordings to ensure we didn't miss a call from you. I see that we returned your voicemail the morning after we received it, and we spent some time walking you through locating your financial information. We also walked you through creating a password for your new computer, as well as setting up your printer. If there was anything at all that you still had questions about, our techs would bend over backwards to help. We love helping people and fixing things. My best, Mike Hurt Operations Manager Dymin Systems"

Overall the experience was good but they did not live up to the 24 hour service advertisement.  It took a little over 2 working days to find out what was wrong and what it would cost to repair.  Once they got the OK to repair them they were fixed and returned promptly. They were still quicker then what we were told from the place that we bought them from and will use them again.  Still skeptical of the 24 hour repair advertisement but overall still happy with their work.
Response from Dymin Computer Systems
"Thank you for your review and for trying out our company! I want to apologize for the failure to meet our 24-hour guarantee. We were short staff over the Christmas week, which did lead to some repairs taking longer than normal. We're also adjusting our staff hours of operation to be more conducive to meeting our guarantee. Our current rate of meeting our guaranteed turnaround time is over 90%, but we're making these changes to improve that to our standard goal of 98%. I would love to have you back to try our services again, and offer you a $20 discount on your next repair. Please stop in and ask for me, Operations Manager Mike Hurt. Thank you very much for supporting local business, and I hope to see you again! My best, Mike Hurt Operations Manager Dymin Systems, Inc."

I bought a new HP Laptop from Dymin for $700.  It is only about 6 months old.   I have had lots of problems with this laptop. 
In August, I took it in because of multiple issues. They said it was under warranty and they said they removed malware/virus .   Took it home and it still did not work well. 
Took it back in August and they said it is still under warranty and they kept the laptop to do testing for a couple of weeks. 
Then they called and said it needed reimaging, since they said that when they removed the malware/virus, it removed the fingerprint driver and could not reinstall it.
I went to pick it up, to do a back up, before they reimage it and was told that I owed $120!   I spoke to the manager Matt Heland, who said that software issues are not covered by the warranty.  I explained: they installed the software, they removed the virus and therefore removed my driver, causing the issue and most of all, no one called me and told me that it was not covered by the warranty, nor did I sign or agree to any charges!
Mr. Heland  would not cooperate.  I left the laptop there and called the next day.  I called Mr. Heland and after discussion, he said he should have charged me for removing the virus!!!   I agreed to pay half, just to get my laptop back! 


UPDATE   9/20/13   Mike Hurt, manager, called me and worked very hard to resolve our communication and computer problem.  He reimaged my computer and it works great now.  I really appreciate the extra mile.
