C4 Tech & Design

These guys are legit. I recently had a power surge in my apartment and bricked a 2 TB hard drive from 2010. These guys were able to recover 99% of the data from it. $ 200 well spent!

My son is at Tulane, and his computer lasted one week. Ryan at C4 was extremely helpful. Great communication and very patient with nervous parents of student.

Extremely helpful and made sure I understood the process along the way. Well-​priced and great personal service!

I took my MacBook to them after it froze and no longer recognized my hard drive. C4 repaired it quickly (turn around time about a day), so that it would boot up, but I only had it home for about an hour before it was back to the same problem.
So, I headed back to C4 and they took my computer again. This time they determined the underlying cause for the error: a connecting cable. They ordered the new part and installed it for about $ 80 total (this is after paying them the deposit and about $ 40 for the first repair).
Their service was courteous and prompt for the most part, but it was annoying that they didn’t figure out what was actually wrong with my computer the first time and I had to make a second trip days after the first.

Excellent service! I went in with a charging issue unsure if it was the computer or charger and a nice man helped me out. In about 10 minutes I was out the door. It was my cord that wasn’t working so he dug up another one they happened to have in back and sold it to me for $ 10. It saved me a bunch of hassle going to buy one somewhere else. Quick, friendly, efficient and the guy had a sweet stache!!!

I have been here before, as it is noted through my other post. I always was a PC owner until the summer. I switched to Mac, and couldn’t have been happier with the computer for the most part. The only problem is that my computer has that stupid infamous «squeaking noise.» It’s not loud, it’s quite faint, and it’s not as bad as some other people have it. There’s a few YT videos and web pages about it. It’s just more of an annoyance, and I wanted to make sure it wasn’t part of a bigger problem, like a lose screw or a problem with the hard drive. I didn’t want to do it myself, because I am quite clumsy.
So, I went to the Apple store. You know, since my computer is new, plus I bought the extra warranty. And always take your Macbook to the Apple store, right?
I did not think I needed an appointment on an average, non-​holiday Tuesday at 11 am. I took a cab out there, and a cab back (That’s $ 50 bucks right there with the tip). They put me in the line of shame, because I didn’t have an appointment. The girl with her trusty iPad says that she can’t hear anything, and pretty much gave me a stupid stare even though some MacBooks have this problem. I needed to make an appointment with the tech. He’ll be available after 4. Although the guy in front of me got an appointment for Noon. Apparently, if you look at the Apple Unilocal page, 4 in Apple time means 6. I’m also part Hispanic, so I’m used to 4 o’clock meaning sometime after 5, and tardiness. I just didn’t want to a) come back or b) wait that long. I told her, sorry, I took a cab out here, because you guys don’t have a store in Greater New Orleans. So, I didn’t want to wait around all day, or maybe find someone to take me out there, if they could. «Yeah, well, some people drive all the way out from FL to come see us.» That was all she said. I seriously feel bad for people that have to drive four hours to deal with D-​bags, plus gas expenses. I have never walked into an Apple store where they had good service. Not here, not in another state, not in another country. Seriously, South Park hit the nail on the head with that episode.
I came to C4. My computer case broke when they were trying to take it off. Right that second they ordered me a new one. No extra charge. I paid the $ 40 deposit, and I got it back about a day-​and-​a-​half later, because they wanted to run some extra stress tests on it to make sure it wasn’t part of a greater problem. They weren’t able to recreate the noise; however, they looked inside the computer before they did anything. Nothing wrong there, either. They charge by the hour, so I thought I would be charged more with all the tests. No. I just had to pay the deposit. They honestly could have told me to pay more, and I would have, but they didn’t. They were pretty busy, and they were very nice about looking into my dumb «problem.» I have come here twice before. Not once did these guys ever look down upon me or ever given me bad service. Ever.
Like the former worker said, it’s run by stand-​up people, and it’s a co-​op. Their cliental is also expanding, so that’s a good sign. They are professional, and very patient. You’re supporting the local economy, and you don’t have to go out to a stupid mall in the ‘burbs to get crappy service. Believe me I had some separation anxiety when I gave them my MacBook, but I’m glad I did. At least I know my computer doesn’t have a big problem. They didn’t just say, «Sorry couldn’t hear the noise» and handed me back my computer. They took a good look at it, couldn’t find anything wrong, and didn’t charge me more. Funny thing is that I was going to go to them first to save my cab fare, but I figured I might as well go to the Apple store since I’m under warranty. All I would need is to pay the cab fare, and nothing more. Gut feeling does it again…
Thanks guys!

Very helpful, knowledgeable, and trustworthy people to take your sick computer to.
I really appreciated their no nonsense advice on what to do with my decrepit laptop.

I have been using this place for years. They are fast know what they are doing and always solve the problem or set me up with both my PC and Mac they are fantastic. Highly recommend them. Consistently good. Great value and good service too. Really nice people.

These guys totally rock.
They fixed my laptop in a half hour while I waited, without treating me like a stupid chick. Best part — the total bill, with parts, was $ 41.00
Also, I’m obviously not the only extremely happy customer. While I was waiting, a previous customer came in and dropped off a homemade pie to thank the staff.

First, let me say that I wish I could give 4.5 stars to C4. The only reason I’m not giving 5 is because they are closed on weekends and only open till 6pm during the week, and that is inconvenient for people like me who work late and on weekends.
Everyone I dealt with was awesome, friendly and easy to talk to. They had my computer’s hard drive and operating system fixed in less than 2 days and were very reasonable with their rates.
For professional, friendly, quick service go here to get your computer stuff fixed. I’ll be recommending C4 to everyone! And when I need something fixed again (with my luck I will) I will be returning.

I recently brought in my work computer for repair. C4 Tech is close to where I work. They were thorough in explaining what was wrong with my system, and gettting it cleaned up. The techs even managed to get my Outlook personal files repaired so that all of my email was working again! They had my computer finished within two days– I’d definitely come back anytime I have computer problems.

This is a great locally-​owned business that offers a full array of computer services, including your basic IT set-​up and support, hardware, software, as well as graphic and web design. My boyfriend used to work in the IT industry, as the sole IT guy for a local stock brokerage firm, and when he needed extra hands to help out with a big project he would always go to these guys. He also went to them recently for a logo design for his new business and they did a fantastic job, giving him exactly what he had in mind. They also do design work for the local radio station WWOZ, and they recently built an Android app for WWOZ.
Whenever a friend or co-​worker has needed computer help or repair, I’ve always referred them to C4 and I’ve never heard a bad report back.
