If I could give more stars I would! My son and I took his gaming computer to Capybara to diagnose the issues he had been experiencing. Alexis quickly identified the issue and we were on our way! Dealing with Alexis felt like working with a friend who was looking out for our best interest. He wasn’t there to upsell us on anything. I’m so thankful we have a business like Capybara so close by! I would use Capybara again in a heartbeat!

😮‍💨 Alexis got me together with GPU deep cleaning and repasting. He’s also very knowledgeable about computers in general so he walked me through the process before and after as well as answered any questions I had and offered great recommendations. Definitely will be building a monster custom PC with him 🫱🏼‍🫲🏿

Yessir was a pleasure meeting and servicing your PC! Glad I was able to inform you on different alternatives and hope to see you again soon once you’re ready for a new build! You’re welcome back anytime 🐐
