I needed help with transferring pictures from my Android to my PC. Ahmed found a way to trick my non connecting phone to retrieve the pictures. He also guided me over the phone (and remote access to my PC) and explained to me step by step what he was doing. He earned my trust and respect by his good communication, great service and honesty. Sphinx is now my place to go with any phone or PC questions.

I am thrilled to announce that people like the owner of this place exist on this earth. He is an honest business owner who cares about people more than getting money from them.I took my MacBook Pro to get it looked because I wanted to get rid of these weird thick lines that had started showing across the screen. The owner suggested that I should take it to the Apple store in Oak Brook because they might fix it for free whereas if I get it fixed from him it will cost me money that I could potentially save. I was pleasantly surprised by his honesty and good heart.The reviews lived up to my expectations! And he was right! I took it to the Apple store and they fixed it for free.

This place has five star reviews for a reason. Ahmed gives you an honest assessment for repair and doesnt try to oversell you anything you dont need. My older model Dell Inspiron laptop has a new hard drive, more RAM and is now running excellent. Very reasonable prices to boot. Highly recommend.

FANTASTIC CUSTOMER SERVICE!!You always want to find a trustworthy Doctor and mechanic, and now, computer guy. Ive been going to Sphinx for several years now, whether it is for repair or buying a new computer or just adding more memory to an old one, Ive always been happy with their work and turn around time.Recently I went in to ask a computer related question and mentioned that I was having trouble with my cell phone charging and they took a look at it and determined that the connection just needed cleaning, which only took a few minutes but surely would have been a much, much longer wait if I had gone to the phone store.Good customer service is sometimes hard to find, but GREAT SERVICE is priceless.

Brought a malfunctioning external hard drive in for service. Rather than take my money and repair it, Sphinx showed me why its best not to repair it and then provided two alternatives for my extensive back-up storage issues. Highly recommend this business.

I live in Naperville and it’s worth the trip to visit this store. It’s staff works very hard at keeping up with all the customers that are loyal to their establishment .I have been a customer since May 2020 and I have to say if you are looking for integrity and honest caring, this is the store . Good deeds deserve to be recognized more so than complaints . I have no complaints . It’s worth it. Give them a try .Respectfully, Joey BPresidentChicagoDroneZone.com

Ahmed is a computer genius! I had built a new PC but was unable to get it working. I found Sphinx and was impressed with their 5 star reviews. I called him and he said he was busy but to bring it in and he would see what he can do. I only waited 20 mins and he was able to pinpoint the issue! Great technical skills and amazing customer service!

Sphinx was super helpful when our laptop died during quarantine. They assessed the problem quickly and helped us work with the credit card company to file a claim through the extended warranty program. Very professional and friendly service. Would definitely use them again. Thank you Sphinx.

I have been a customer at Sphinx Computer for two years. On separate occasions I have now purchased three laptops, a monitor, and an iPhone 7 Plus. No problems with any of the devices. Ahmed is very professional and stands behind his work. I have not had one bad experience with Sphinx and have saved thousands of dollars versus buying new. The products are reliable and so is the owner. You won’t go wrong shopping here.

UNPRETENTIOUS JEWEL: thats what the Sphinx on Main Street is, run by Ahmed E. Service is adept, quick, and often helpful beyond immediate problems.While waiting, I saw that foot traffic is steady, but not overwhelming as is sometimes true of big name stores. Ive also used their house call Technician who resolved my phone, desktop and endless cord problem. As you can see, Im technologically challenged.The Sphinx is now my go to place for digital problems, saving much hassle and aggravation, thanks to Ahmed. Parking sometimes is little difficult, but Sphinx is definitely worth circling the block.

I have been a customer of Sphinx Computer in Lombard for the last several years and I have always had excellent service every time I need assistance with my computer issues. They have been the most knowledgeable, most affordable and accommodating business that I have experienced over the years and believe me I have been to many computer repair shops in the past. I wanted to write them a review so people know about this business because they are one of the best out there. I refer them out to all my colleagues and friends that have issues with their computer. They have not only helped fix virus and hard drive issues but sometimes it can be a simple fix that they have even helped me resolve over the phone. My thanks goes out to Ahmed yet once again for resolving my computer issue!!

Please read this note before you make the same mistakes I did. Finding a reliable trustworthy technology solver like Ahmed is difficult. I went through many, many other computer repair shops searching for someone I could trust. My first experience was replacing my iPad screen. I called a few shops and unfortunately for me I chose to save $15 and did not go to Sphinx, I went to a different repair shot in Lombard on Main Street. They did indeed replace my screen and although I did save 15 dollars they damaged my bezel and after 2 weeks, I was experiencing further issues. Although the screen was new and replaced, it wasn’t reassembled with proper care and it wouldn’t charge. So, I took it back and after 3 more days of being without my device I picked it up. The bezel had been even more damaged in the process and the issue was still not resolved. In the end I spent almost $200 to repair an iPad which was unusable. Not wanting to throw away a $600device, I later took this iPad to Ahmed. He was able to repair the bezel and charging unit for less than I had previously paid to fix a broken screen. I am writing this review on that exact repaired iPad. I have since worked with Ahmed and his staff for more than 4 years now. Yes this is an old iPad, about to be obsolete, but it felt appropriate to write this review using the device Sphinx had resurrected. Since then Ahmed has replaced iPhone screens, bad hard drives, eliminated viruses, upgraded my laptop, replaced laptop screens and has recently built my son a absolutely amazing gaming computer that performs better, while costing less, than any store bought, out of the box solution. I am so please with Sphinx, that I have left my personal contact information with Ahmed and his staff. If you would like to speak with me directly as a reference, please ask them to provide you my information. Please don’t make the same mistakes I did, contact Ahmed first. It doesn’t matter if you are highly technical, a novice or a small business, save yourself the time and money of making a bad choice. Call him. Or after you don’t and you’re let down like I was, see if he can make it right. Cheers Ahmed. Thank you.

During this Covid19 pandemic, I broke my USB stick that had all of my clients files on there. I was so hurt because I had bought a new Desktop for my office and had not transferred the files to that computer yet. it was so hard finding a PC Repair shop that was open and before I came to Sphinx had been told by 3 other repair shops they would not be able to fix it, one shop said he charged $100 an hour. I found Spinx and read their reviews and took my stick to them. Ahmed was very honest in saying he might be able to fix it, but it was a hard task and didnt know for sure if he could. So I left it with him along with a new USB stick. Well 3 days later, he called me with the best news, they were able to save and retrieve my data and put it on the new stick. I was also waiting for a big bill and to my surprise they were very reasonable. I would refer them to everyone and they will definitely be my go to place for life.

I recommend Sphinx with certainty. Ahmed takes his work very seriously and works diligently to find a solution. After a having a poor experience at another computer shop in Lombard(they kept my computer for 2 months but didnt fix it). Sphinx was recommended to me on Facebook. Ahmed was very polite on the phone and assured me that things would be different, and they were. My hardware problem was fixed, the price was fair and my laptop is even working faster than before. Thank you for the excellent customer service and for your honesty!!!

Awesome service!! Have an older laptop computer and Ahmed quickly determined the hard drive was good but the older version of Windows was bogging down the speed. Updated Windows and laptop is like new. Ahmed even stayed late on a Saturday to complete the work. Price was very reasonable. I would highly recommend them and will be an ongoing customer. Thank you for your amazing service!

I almost bought a new macbook but decided to stop in here first to see if they could repair my old one and how much it would cost. They replaced the hard drive and it runs better than new now. Very happy and would recommend them to anyone in the Lombard area in need of computer repair services.

Was so worried about leaving my laptop there with all of my photos and projects. The guys took good care of my baby and its now running smoothly once again. We had good communication and they checked with me before removing programs to do a reinstall and they saved all of my files during the process. All this for a great price.

This store is great!!!My laptop had a charging problem, I took it to a few places and they said it would be major work and the cost would be $150 - $200 and it would take days to get it fixed.When I took my laptop to Sphinx Computer, the guys said it would be simple to fix and he fixed it the same day for half the cost.Quick service and great prices.

Great customer service. They really know what they’re doing when fixing computers. I met with Ahmed and he took care of my MacBook and fixed my home button and camera for my iPhone 6 Plus. Prices are really fair. Would definitely recommend this place if you need devices fixed or repaired as well as if you’re looking to buy new devices for a good price.

I came into this place on a saturday at 11 AM because of an update issue. I was paranoid because I am a Graduate student and had discussion posts due at 11:59PM. Ahmed could noy guarantee that he could find and fix the issue by 2PM closing time. However, he detected my angst and stress and offered to let me use a store computer for my school work. I was able to turn in my posts and get an A. I picked my computer up later with only a minimal fee! Exceptional place to go for computer work!! Great prices!

Review №48

Yes, their price is good. The service is fast. BUT...you may have to return more than once to have your computer working the way you want it to. So they installed a new hard drive for about $100...and then when I turned on the computer it was still a black screen wanting me to choose operating systems. I came in and they corrected that, next thing I know, thye must not have installed the sound card or driver or whatever the thing is that makes your speakers work. So, now I will ahve to take time out of my day to go back a third time. I am sure they will be able to fix iit quickly and they are nice about it, but it really stinks they didnt just get it 100% right the first time.
