Comp USA over charging for service, lacking knowledge,unprepared Memphis Tennessee
I had a new 64MB video card installed on my computer, It took 20 min. to install, and 4hr to correct the mistakes during installation! First,my old card's drive should have been erased but wasn't done (I found this out later on the how-to site for my computer), second the drive on the video card CD was so old, it wouldn't run with my computer.
Among other problems with my computer-along with loosing my ethernet drive that I had to restore later, my charge for this "knowledgeable" installation was $307.69 for a$64.95 card!!!! The service representative claimed the charge was for his time even though he had made the mistakes. I was "given a discount". He also claimed I had the wrong BIOS yet when I contacting my computer company I found out I have the correct, and latest BIOS.
I have written my computer company to let them know of my experience and hope they won't recommend Comp USA for computer service anymore. I would like to get some of my money refunded, but that is probably wishful thinking. Thank you for your time.

INVALID, UNFOUNDED, BOGUS RIPOFFREPORT
#2REBUTTAL Owner of company

This individual was given many opportunities to allow our technician to do his job. She repeatedly interferred with the process and caused many more problems than originally necessary to troubleshoot. Customer's system was working when we left, she was not charged for the full on-site time. She paid her bill, messed up her system again and began attempting to blackmail CEI. This customer filed several complaints to the local Better Business Bureau. After careful review her claim was found be dishonest and lacking. It is a shame that people like this can still find resources to use against a company they are clearly attempting to blackmail. CEI has been in business for over 10 years and has a stellar record in the Networking and Computer repair industry. Ripoffreport should also be sanctioned for allowing trash to be posted against companies without a proper investigation. A simple call to the local BBB could have ended this entire matter.
