 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My son's PC had a fairly complex issue when updating Dragon centre(MSI motherboard) and it stoped his PC from posting. Thanks to the guys at Barbell the issue was resolved very quickly.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We came in with a broken motherboard query and received great attention and advice. The advice given was not to spend the money in store,  but for my son,  an enthusiast, to source his own parts and to give the repair a go himself. A friendly offer of advice as he went along was made too.
A genuinely reassuring approach to computers and great customer service.  I hope this business goes from strength to strength!

Highly recommend him to anyone, very knowledgeable, honest and a really nice guy. We are so glad we have found him, and great to have someone local on hand.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My elderly laptop was running so slowly, it was driving me crazy and I dreaded using it. I brought iit to Scott who quickly diagnosed the problems and recommended a cost effective solution. He undertook the work very quickly and efficiently, and I couldn't be more delighted with the outcome. My laptop has been given a new lease of life. I can't recommend Scott highly enough - he is super efficient, knowledgeable and very pleasant to deal with.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We were so impressed with our experience at The Ely Computer Centre. The response after sending an email was super quick. The laptop was in the following morning and fixed and back with us 2 days later. We couldn’t have asked for more. Can’t praise Scott enough and wouldn’t hesitate in recommending his services. His rate is very competitive too. We will certainly use him again should the need arise.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. A lifesaver! I rely on my laptop for work and mid update, it just froze and wouldn't switch back on. The issue was resolved quickly and thankfully, didn't cost me too much either. Hoping not to have to visit anytime soon 😂, but if I did, I wouldn't go anywhere else 😊.

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.
