Not only were the guys very efficient

Not only were the guys very efficient, but they were also extra nice! I had my work computer broken, and I work online from home. They let me use one of their computers for the weekend to be able to work, and they brought my computer back home when I was stuck to collect it before work!
Being efficient and so kind, what can we ask for? Thanks so much!

I am not at all good with technology and I explained this to the member f staff. They showed admirable patience and under standing in explaining what needed to be done and why. What they said they would do, they did. I will be back.

8 weeks laptop repair

Took 8 weeks for laptop repair to be completed. Tier3 technician did fix the initial issue but caused a couple more after the repair. No due diligence in checking things after repair. Nearly lost my laptop in between the transfers from Limerick to Galway to Cork and vice versa. Everytime I called for an update, it's either "I don't know" or "call back again tomorrow" was the go to answer. Employees were of little help to resolve the issue. I was told it was very "unfortunate" for me for all the hassle that had happened. Only got a 100eu off the fix price but didn't think it was enough for the stress and hassle they've put me through. Owner came in clutch last second but was not much of help either. Nearly misplaced my laptop charger as well. Would've given no star rating if it allowed me.

Fantastic service from Tech Star Ballincollig

Fantastic service from Franco, Soham and Kara at the Tech Star shop in Ballincollig. They were all so nice, so accommodating, so understanding, so patient, they were just fantastic. Used them to help transfer data from phones that were old and for people with limited technical knowledge. They also helped diagnose a problem with a laptop and again with total professionalism. Would recommend them 100%.

Shortsighted

I'm happy with the service and I'd use it again, but according to my experience they're not yet 5 stars. They replaced the fan of my laptop with a new one, which turned out to be defective as well. The repair guy pointed out that the second fan was the last one available in Ireland and that a new one would have had to be ordered from the UK with a 8-10 days lead time. I asked him to order it as a precaution and have it in stock ready for either me or another customer and he said he couldn't. So... yeah, next customer will have to wait 8-10 days for a cheap and small device that could have been ordered in a timely manner.

Ps5 control for repair

Dropped in a pa5 control for repair. 35 to diagnose.

I go to pick it up and they want another 35 for the repair. It’s 60 to buy a brand new one, and the funny thing is I brought the control home and it was still broken.

What a joke shop,

Techstar gave me a clear diagnosis of what failed in the old phone
Explored the repair or replacement options with me clearly
When I chose a new phone which they had in stock , Techstar ( Felipe) set it up for me and transferred all my files including WhatsApp from old phone to new phone that's so helpful

Takes ages, no updates.

Took an iPad to be fixed. The diagnostic was very fast and I was told 4/5 days to repair. I called a week later and was told they were waiting on a part so a few more days. It took over 2 weeks and I had to keep chasing them for any update. When I got my iPad back the screen wasn’t working which wasn’t the original problem. This was repaired quickly though.
