High quality, affordable local business. The owner is highly knowledgeable about all things tech. I got my laptop serviced there last month after it stopped charging and it’s been in excellent condition since. They also gave me a new charger for a price well below what I could have paid at one of the big box stores. I highly recommend and will return in the future.

Craig quickly identified the problem with my Gateway and fixed it at a very reasonable price. He went further to recommend technical fixes to prevent future problems, many of which I could do for free, and even offered solid advice on possible future tech purchases. I plan to use him as my go-to guy for all tech needs.

Got my 2011 MacBook Pro Logic board fixed the best way today.

Quick turnaround and accurate advise.

Would recommend and refer to my friends who are Apple fans to reach out to Craig for help.

Originally, I took my Macbook Air to a different business, and after they told me it wasn't fixable, Craig said he could handle it! When I brought it in, he opened the laptop directly in front of me, showed me the water damage that I hadn't seen on my own, and was extremely helpful/knowledgeable. I enjoyed listening to him tell me stories while he assessed my broken laptop, and in the end, he gave me an excellent deal! The next time I have computer troubles (hopefully not anytime soon), I know where to come! Thank you, Craig!!

Having experience both in a computer repair shop and as a software developer, I can confidently say that The Eldest Geek is the most honest and fair computer repair shop you're likely to find in northern Virginia. If you're not a computer person and are looking for a shop that's going to use their knowledge to help you, and not cheat you, this is the place.

I recently had work done here on a Macbook Pro 15" Retina, through the repair several unexpected problems came up. Craig was easy to communicate with and provided consistent updates on the repair. With the issues that the computer had I would not have been surprised to have gotten a call informing me that the price would be doubling due to the amount of time that had been invested. Through my interactions with Craig and seeing his response to the problems I believe I got a better than normal view of how much integrity this shop is run with.

I'll be returning here for any future work I need done and wouldn't hesitate to advise others of the same.

These guys are too good. I woke up one morning to turn on my 2011 iMac and it won’t turn on. I did all the trouble shooting I could but non of them worked. I then took it to Apple Store and I was told the power supply had gon bad and needs replacement. The warranty had expired so I divided to pay from my pocket for the power supply replacement. After the replacement the computer won’t still turn on. They then told me the mother board had gone bad and needs replacement which will cost cost me more than a thousand dollars. I told them it was too expensive so it will be better to buy a new one. But I love this PC because it was custom built, 3.4 GHz intel core i7 with 32 GB ram. I did an online search for iMac repair shop and Eldest Geek came up and i called them and Craig told me to bring it over for diagnostics and he fixed it. The money I paid was very very very cheap than I expected. Thanks Eldest Geek for your great work.

The service was completed quickly and efficiently. The technician listened carefully to our computer issue. Great option for computer repairs!

Fast efficient and honest

Staff is very customer service oriented.

Got my computer fixed in two days

These guys were so helpful! I called in and walked in the same day. Derrick helped me troubleshoot what was wrong with my relentless-restarting computer. Talking with Craig is great, a wealth of knowledge. I will certainly be coming back with an PC issues!!

These folks are amazing. I have used him in the past to fix my computer, which he did and he made it better than it was before I took it to him. I recently purchased a computer from him and got such a great deal. They are very knowledgeable and explain things on a level I can understand. I would definitely use them again and I highly recommend these folks.

The team at the eldest geek were very informative and diligent in the services they provide. While professional… They make you feel like a friend while handling business

These guys are the best. My computer was a real problem child. Craig and Alex were able to walk me through the issues, recommend fixes and sensible upgrades, and did a great job working within my budget. They are incredibly patient, and very good at what they do. In the end my computer was not only fixed, but sufficiently upgraded to last me another few years. I will definitely return when I have future computer issues.

Great job done by the Top Tech guys to repair my HP Laptop that I bought at Costco with a warranty !

Bringing back some of my old desktops for hard drive repair and document retrieval soon.

THANKS Again Guys , Alex in Alexandria

Excellent service over multiple visits with different devices. Always helpful, patient, and knowledgeable. Highly recommended!

In case you're like me and find yourself wondering…hmmm…is this legit? A computer repair shop in the crowded corner of a dilapidated antique mall? Yes, it's legit. I've brought two separate computers here and had excellent service both times. Once to have fan installed in a Dell all-in-one computer; the other to (ultimately) have a new hard drive installed. Second time took a little longer than either of us expected. (It happens.) But, any time I called for a status update, I got an immediate response and full update. And, even though the job ended up being more extensive than originally thought, they stuck with their estimate. I have recommended this place to neighbors, and happily do so to Yelpers as well.

Craig and his team resurrected my gaming laptop after a catastrophic motherboard failure. It wasn't cheap, but the alternative would have been much more expensive. Kudos to the team…

Seems to know his stuff with computers. Fixed my issue quickly.

Craig fixed my MacBook Pro after it sustained water damage. My screen’s backlight was not working and he replaced the logic board and had it back to me within a week, and charged a reasonable price – much less than Apple. Also, Craig is the only person I found that can do hardware in the entire D.C. area. The trip from Foggy Bottom to Alexandria was worth it. He took all my calls and thoroughly explained what was going on at all stages of the repair. I would recommend Craig to anyone. Thanks Craig!

Craig and his team are great. They are completely honest and want what is best for the customer. Plus they do great work. 5 stars all the way!

Great service, very knowledgable, has kept me and my family from wasting money on waisted repairs and sold us used computers which have and are still serving us well. When I’m in a computer pinch, craig is the first person I go to.

Since I found these guys, I always use them for electronics repairs. They are extremely knowledgeable and friendly and prices are very reasonable. Highly recommend!

These guys are great. If you still value the importance of supporting family businesses and appreciate years of experience that these guys have, then this is the place to go with your computer problems. They were quick at diagnosing the problem with my laptop, finding a solution, fixing the problem, explaining everything (and more), and charging a very reasonabe fee. You can't go wrong with avoiding big chain store shops and going with these guys instead.

Took my late 2015 iMac in for an issue wherein the machine would shut down randomly….and with increasing frequency. I took it to Apple proper to diagnose. Their diagnostic showed an error with the mem. They recommended I replace all (4) 8m DIMMS (for $350). I then took the machine to UBreakIfix. They ran a diagnostic and couldn’t find anything wrong. They suggested I take it home and see if the problem persists. It subsided for a little while. Then reappeared….more severely. I found the Eldest Geek and having read some of their reviews became optimistic that maybe they ACTUALLY know how to do old school problem solving. I took it to them. They put specialist on the problem (opening a modern iMac is tricky). He came back and recommended I replace the power supply (the internal component). $220 and many months later I have an iMac that has performed without issue. Even if the PS replacement wouldn’t have worked I still appreciate their approach, due diligence, and recommendation (credibility).

They fixed my computer, diagnosing and going above and beyond what was necessary to help me out and the price was fair.

I arrived at TopTech/The Eldest Geek yesterday afternoon with a completely non-functional computer. The previous night, my boyfriend and I had tried to replace the battery in my computer, but there was a screw that wouldn’t come out. When I tried to turn the computer back on, it wouldn’t work at all. I took it to our IT guy at work and he wasn’t able to get the screw out either, and couldn’t get the computer to turn back on.

Craig looked at my computer and said he would be able to get the screw out and replace the battery (which I had bought myself) in three days. I resigned myself to using my crappy work-issued computer for the next few days. I got a call later that afternoon that my computer had already been fixed. I was just charged for the labor to replace the battery- $60 total.

Tl;dr: The Eldest Geek fixed my computer fast for cheap.

Personable, honest, timely, great to do business with

Highly recommended! Great prices for the work provided. Very informative and recommended programs to enhance performance.
