I brought my Sony Vaio in to have the fan replaced. While working on the laptop, Riley noticed that my lithium-ion battery was badly swollen and "puffy." He immediately flagged this as a major safety hazard and asked me if I wanted the battery safely removed. A swollen battery is a massive fire risk, if it had…

I brought my Sony Vaio in to have the fan replaced. While working on the laptop, Riley noticed that my lithium-ion battery was badly swollen and "puffy." He immediately flagged this as a major safety hazard and asked me if I wanted the battery safely removed. A swollen battery is a massive fire risk, if it had overheated, it could have triggered thermal runaway, essentially a violent, self-sustaining chemical fire that shoots out intense flames, toxic gas, and is incredibly difficult to put out with standard fire extinguishers. By catching it early and handling it, he honestly might have saved my home, or my life. Professional, incredibly thorough, and truly goes above and beyond for customer safety. Higher than highly recommended!

He is extremely professional, helpful, knowledgeable, and friendly! He fixed my broken computer in a very timely manner and he kept up to date with me on what he was doing! He also figured out for me why my computer was running so slow as well. Definitely will come back when I get the part to make it run faster.
