We now have over 200 posted on our website. We started off as a small home based business out of the Brighton Park neighborhood & by providing simply the truth when it comes to their PCs, phones & tablets whether they are worth repairing or not, we’ve had customers travel from Aurora, Palos Park, Lansing, & even Hammond, IN to our small home office. We slowly built our clientele up and moved onto opening our first office location at 5032 S. Archer Ave. in September 2011. Sept. 2014, we celebrated our 3 year anniversary & we stayed 1 more month until opening our newest location right next door at 5034 S. Archer Ave, 3 times the size of our previous location. We’re thankful for those who have stayed loyal to us to help make this happen & we hope you give us the privilege to serve you

My name is Justin & I founded Computer Prodigies from a spare bedroom out of my parent’s home. I absolutely LOVE being able to build relationships with our customers & putting smiles on their faces whether it’s through our friendly service or simply one of my jokes. I have a passion for what I do and I am confident if you give us a chance to provide our service to you, you will see that we are not your average local tech repair shop. So far we have serviced over 2,000 customers & over 2,500 devices from desktops, laptops, all in one desktops, phones & tablets. I strongly believe in giving back as well & since opening our doors we have done 4 holiday food drives w/​over 1,400 lbs of food collected & donated. I look forward to doing so much more as we continue to grow & we hope you will become part of our growth & we thank everyone who already has become part of that and who has helped us spread the word over the years of being in business.

I brought my laptop in to get upgraded with new RAM and a new solid state drive. These guys were fantastic! They were able to answer all of my questions before bringing the laptop in, and were true to their word on the price estimate.
The turnaround time was great, and I really appreciated getting frequent updates on the status of my machine. I’d highly recommend these guys to anyone with computer or repair issues. They are highly professional and very knowledgeable.

These guys are great! The daughter dropped the Ipad on the floor and cracked the screen, I called them first thing in the am. I didnt even leave a message and they called me back. Dropped off the Ipad around noon and had it back by 3… Great job. Price was right.

I went to get my iPhone 5 screen fixed. They were very friendly and professional. They offered me a water bottle while I waited. It only took like 20 – 30 minutes for them to replace the screen. The final cost was $ 70 (because my phone’s touch and screen still worked) and they even threw in/​installed a free tempered glass screen protector just for mentioning That I found them on Unilocal!Great guys! Will definitely go back if I ever need their help again. I definitely recommend them.

They did a great job for me. I had a problem with updates on windows 8.1 (among many other problems) They cleaned it up, got my updates fixed and installed window 10 for me and I was charged the price I was quoted. I would give you 6 stars if I could.
I’ll be back.

Fixed my cracked iPhone 5s screen and I found this place also instead of having to travel all the way to the northside this place seemed really convenient. When I went there the staff was very professional and friendly, also they have a 6 month warranty which is very awesome. Although there was a small issue where I couldn’t get my phone fixed the same day I went I ended up getting my phone fixed the next day with a discount, great service!

Came here to fix my niece’s cracked iPhone screen, expecting to pay an arm and a leg, but was pleasantly surprised by their prices.
The phone was repaired in less than 45 minutes and not only that, the owner went the extra mile and put on an extra screen protector on the phone.
The shop is very clean and professional. I couldn’t have found a better place.

Dropped in to fix an iPhone screen that consequently cracked from accidentally dropping it. We were in and out in 20 minutes. They were upfront about only having a black screen available to replace our shattered white glass. In that time, they provided a quote, offered us water while waited, and performed the replacement. True customer service professionals and great work. They even offered us a tempered glass protector and in showing us, we fumbled it and dropped that on the floor, cracking that! We are so sorry guys! But we appreciate your quick and professional work. I would definitely recommend family and friends to you guys. Thanks!

My mom walked in with a shattered 5c screen and was greeted very nicely by a gentleman who works there (forgot to ask for his name) who was very pleasant and nice. 3 minutes later another gentleman took my phone to the back and came back in less than 15 minutes with a new screen. Price wise, very reasonable and much better than other places that I was quoted. In a few words, fast, friendly, and a great job done. Highly recommend this place! And a bonus they gave me a 6 month warranty on the screen.

My $ 1500 gaming/​work laptop was hideously infected with malware, adware, trojans, the lot. I looked up some good tech repair shops in the SW side and this place caught my eye because of the consistently perfect ratings. And for a good reason. I brought my rig on Wednesday and got it back by the end of the next day running like new. No more popups every time I browse the web, no more annoying hyperlinks in all the wrong places, and best of all, its as fast as when i first got her. And for a VERY reasonable cost with no gimmicks or hidden fees. I highly recommend these guys to anyone in Chicago with a computer full of problems. They sure live up to their motto, «Loyalty through Honesty» Ill definitely come back when i have another computer or smartphone problem.

Needed help with virus infected laptop. Not sure where to go for help but a friend recommended this company. Dropped off laptop and tech said it would be ready for pick up next day. As promised computer was fixed and ready for pick up in one day. Feels like I am working on a new laptop. Staff does not try to quote add on services like other retail repair shops. Gave me a fair price and very professional, prompt service. Will return and recommend this shop to others. Keep up the good work and thanks for getting me back up and working. Bill L

Trustworthy, accountable, knowledgable, and reasonable. I highly recommend Computer Prodigies!
I recently had a cracked screen on an ipad 2 and contacted Apple to ask about the cost of this repair. Given that I did not have a service plan, I was quoted a price that would be half that of a new ipad. This made me wonder if it was time to replace the tablet, but I decided to look into other options for repair, and I’m so glad I did!
After a lot of research into computer and tablet repair in the Chicago area, I came across Computer Prodigies. Given the many positive reviews posted about CP on various online resources, I called them for a quote on this repair. Over the phone, Justin provided a very reasonable price and also stressed that CP provides a 6-​month guarantee on their work. Given the price, the guarantee, and the positive reviews referencing a trust and confidence in this business, I chose CP for the repair and am confident that this was the best choice.
The tablet was functional, though a bit slow in operating. Justin and Jorge both reported that along with the screen replacement, an analysis would be performed on the tablet to diagnose any issues that might impact the speed or quality of operation. I left the ipad overnight and was contacted the next day to inform me that the repair was complete and that the slow performance was due to the ipad needing updates.
Upon bringing the tablet home, I discovered a few issues; the screen was not securely fixed, the tablet was unresponsive to any prompt of the power buttons, and the ipad required a complete restore of its original settings.
I returned to the shop the first thing the next morning with my ipad. Without hesitation or question, Justin took the tablet and assured me that the issues would be assessed and appropriate corrections made.
Within a day or two, Jorge contacted me to report that the ipad needed a replacement part that was likely damaged in the repair process. (I had learned during my initial research that damage during this repair is common.) He also reported that the shop would absorb the cost of this part and the additional labor to make the ipad functional.
Within another few days, I was contacted about the repair being complete. This time around, the screen was very secure, with additional glue and a few pieces of safety tape. I brought the ipad home, restored it again (I needed to correct an error I made on my initial restore), and have been using it for the past few days with absolutely no issues. In fact, the ipad works better than before it was brought in for the initial repair!
In my experience working with this business, they stand by their work and can be trusted to do what they say. I highly recommend CP for your tablet repair and will use them as my first choice if I encounter future computer-​related issues.

Messaged to ask could they fix a broken screen on an iPhone 5. Came in around 6:40, was out by 6:55 — got the broken screen fixed AND glass protector put on as well for an AMAZING value!

I went to this place about a year ago when my 4 year old Dell Studio 1555 would not turn on. Justin was the one who attended to me. The main reason I took it there was because this was the only place I found that offered free diagnostics. I wanted to figure out if it was worth getting this laptop fixed or just buy a new one. Obviously, that was going to be a difficult decision without actually getting it looked at. Justin was a practical man and knew consumers’ attitude towards getting computers fixed.
He took the laptop, gave me a holding receipt and told me he would call me later that evening or the following day with details about the issue. As promised, he called me later that evening and told me my motherboard was bust. He was very transparent in terms of what’s required and what’s not and did not recommend any unnecessary services. He said he did not have the part, but would order it if I decided to go along with the service — turn around time was going to be 2 days. I decided to go ahead. Two days later, I get a call that the laptop was ready to be picked up! Very prompt service…
He charged me $ 150 for parts and labor and was transparent about the breakout. He said the motherboard was ~$ 110 and $ 50 labor. He also gave me a $ 10 discount (though I don’t remember what that was for). He also offered a 1 year warranty on the service though I haven’t had the need to use it. Its been about a year since the service and my laptop is still running alright! He performed some general tune-​up to ensure my laptop didn’t have unnecessary crap. Overall, I am an extremely satisfied customer and have recommended this place to quite a few of my friends. I do have to apologize to Justin for writing this review a year after the service, but better late than never.
Another interesting piece of information is Justin conducts various food & donation drives for local charities — very rare that you find a small business giving back to the community… kudos to Justin & his team.
If you need a computer repair, this is the place to go!

I called in tonight to get pricing on replacing my iPhone 6 plus’ screen. Unfortunately, I didn’t get the mans name that picked up the phone but he was extremely helpful and offered a great alternative since the replacement of the screen was very expensive. I would definitely trust this shop with any phone repairs and will be sure to recommend them. It’s great to see there’s still honest helpful people out there.

I got my iPhone 5s screen repaired there and the staff were friendly and knowledgeable. They even hook me up with a screen protector. I highly recommend this place and the prices are reasonable and sure beats paying 175 for the insurance deductible with your phone provider. Great job!
