 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Scott was super friendly and extremely helpful. I had taking my Laptop to be repaired before and they told me it was gone. Scott had a look and had it pretty much fixed and ready within 48 hours. Excellent service, explained the whole process and was entirely worth the price if 6 stars were possible that would be his rating. Definitely recommend

Scott was amazing, his experience identified the issue with my Macbook straight away and sourced a competitively priced part and fixed the issue very quickly. Fantastic service, competitive pricing and couldn't recommend him enough, and he's a nice bloke too !! Thanks Scott

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Went to Scott with an issue with my self built gaming PC. It fired up but wouldn't run games.  Scott was very knowledgable, helpful, patient and friendly. He run tests and benchmarks on my machine to try and get to the bottom of the issue and he explained every step. Eventually, we were able to find and fix the issue. His prices are very reasonable and I won't hesitate to use again. I actually look forward to it. Keep up the good work.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. What a great experience. Went in there thinking I'd be able to hand over a MacBook air that hadn't been functioning properly in years. Figured I was gonna give it in for parts, but Scott convinced me he could do a bit of investigation and see what's up. Fast forward a week and he's got it working perfectly following a full Mac OS reset, and assured me everything else in the computer was functioning properly. Super grateful as my girlfriend hadn't seen it working in years!! 10/10 for everything thank you Scott

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I thoroughly recommend Scott at Barbell Computers. I often use Zoom. I hosted a meeting, no one could hear me & I was at a loss to get error message ‘microphone not found’. Usual ‘fixes’ didn’t help - but Scott did. I appreciated the ease of his communications and clarity re costs, especially as the problem solution was complex. I took my laptop in on Thursday & collected it the next day. Great service. Thanks.

From Our Clients

My computer wouldn’t connect to the internet and with a child in secondary school this is a must in our household! Scott came the very same day as I had contacted which was just amazing and in no time he had it fixed and the kids were able to do their homework again. So very pleased with such a quick and professional service.

Heather from Littleport

My computer was crashing every time I tried to play any games. Fast and great value service. Found the issue straight away and resolved quickly. Would highly recommend.

Lee from Ely

Switched my laptop on, and all I had was a black screen. Contacted Scott, he popped round to my house. Unfortunately, it was not repairable. He said he would send me links to a replacement laptop. That evening, I received an email with 3 different laptops that could be purchased directly from the manufacturer at a cheaper price than going through a retailer. One I received the new laptop, Scott transferred all my data from my old laptop to my new one and took the old hard drive out & gave the old unit & hard drive back to me, all within a week. Scott is very knowledgeable and doesn't try to fob you off with expensive replacements or get money from you trying to repair a broken unit. Highly recommend this very pleasant and nice bloke.
