All around great experience! Joe is very transparent with the repairs needed and the costs. He’s also transparent about if a repair is worth it or not, saving you money in the end of the day!

I found Joe’s service based off of reviews and they are accurate! Joe is quick with above and beyond repairs, not just guessing at what is wrong with your computers. He was thorough and very communicative at every step. My Surface Pro could not be revived, but he took the time to talk through options and even offer to find me a replacement. Although I declined the offer, Joe saved all of the files and data to my desktop (which he installed a new drive for a like new computer) - I lost nothing and I have to say that is a first for me with dead electronics. I will continue to use Slater Computer Repair for all computer needs.

What an amazing experience! Joe immediately responded to my initial request within seconds of me submitting info. I got my laptop and MacBook to him and he diagnosed them right away and got back to me with options. I will be using him again in the future for sure. A+ service

He is very knowledgeable and quick to work on the solution. I was at a loss of my new gaming computer not installing Windows correctly and internet drivers not working properly. Overnight, he fixed it and had it ready by the afternoon. Very casual and cheaper than some of the bigger names in the Des Moines metro. I will definitely use his services again if I ever need to.

I was worried that so much of my data had been lost forever, but then I found Joe, who was so prompt, kind and communicated so well! He was not only able to recover the data I thought was lost, but also got my old computer up and running like new again! I could not have been happier with the results, and with how well I was treated. Thank you Slater Computer Repair.

This has been the best experience with Slater Computer Repair. Our computer 'died' on us one day. In a pinch we found Joe on the internet and called him up. He has gone overboard with cusomer service and knowlegeble computer repairs. Thank you Joe for your professional and skilled advice!
