“Moved to the DC Area, but still wanted Connor to be the one to work on my Mac. I mailed it to him, he mailed it back, and now everything that wasn't working is working now.”

Phoenix from KC Computer Staff was very knowledgeable and did a fantastic job diagnosing the issue our son was having with his PS5 and our internet. Apparently, the ATT tech failed to notice that his PS5 was set on a different hertz from the rest of our house. Which was causing him to have very low speeds with his gaming. A previous ATT tech had set up an alternate hertz (2.4) instead of (5) for our internet for whatever reason. Not being tech-savy, we were unaware of this. Having just moved in January, we went from Google Fiber to ATT Fiber. Not particularly happy with this. But as soon as we get Google Fiber for our neighborhood, we will be switching back. As I said, Phoenix did a great job explaining what the issue was and how he found it. KC Computer Staff is an excellent computer and gaming system repair store.

Got water damage on my MacBook Pro guys did a great job of assembling it and telling me exactly what happened and what was wrong with it and replace the logic board at a competitive price ran into a hiccup with the delivery date due to a faulty board being shipped to them, but they were great and if I have any other problems, I’ll be reaching out to them

I had lost the audio on my laptop, so I took it to KC Computer to diagnose and fix the problem. They discovered that my audio drivers were missing. They repaired the problem and replaced my hard drive which was showing signs of wear. I got my laptop back in two days and it has worked great since. The guys at the shop were courteous and informed. I was very happy with the service I received and would use them again in the future.

I was having issues with my laptop blackscreening on me. Called into KC Computer Tuesday afternoon and by Wednesday afternoon they had diagnosed the issue (overheating) and fixed the issue (cleaned out and reapplied thermal paste). I appreciated the speed of what they did and I felt ok with what they charged for my situation.

This is my second visit to KC Computer. On both occasions, Phoenix did an exemplary job on my Lenovo laptop. This is a great company to trust with your desktops and laptops.

WHO'S WORKING ON YOUR COMPUTER

Two technicians. One shop. Every repair in-house.

When your device arrives, it’s checked in, photographed, and diagnosed by Connor or Phoenix — the same technician who fixes it and writes up what was wrong. Nothing is subcontracted, and nothing leaves the shop.

KC Computer Staff is the residential division of SentraCore IT. The same technicians who manage business networks during the day apply that standard to your laptop.

PACKING GUIDE

How to pack a desktop or all-in-one

Desktops are heavy, and all-in-one screens crack easily. Ten minutes of packing prevents shipping damage.

Do this

Leave these at home

SHIP TO

KC Computer Staff — Attn: Mail-In Repairs
1200 NW South Outer Road, Suite 100
Blue Springs, MO 64015

Include your ticket number on the shipping label and inside the box.

Questions

Before you ship.

How long does mail-in desktop repair take?

Diagnosis within 1–2 business days of arrival. Most repairs ship back within 3–5 business days after you approve the estimate. If a part has to be ordered, we tell you the timeline before you approve. Need it faster? Select expedited service on the form.

Do you repair iMacs and all-in-ones by mail?

Yes. iMacs, Mac minis, and Windows all-in-ones from Dell, HP, Lenovo, and others. Use the original box if you have it; all-in-one screens are the most fragile thing we receive.

Who pays for shipping?

You cover shipping to us. Return shipping is a flat insured rate that appears on your estimate, so you see the exact number before approving anything. Local pickup at our Blue Springs shop is free.

Is the $60 diagnostic applied to the repair?

No. The diagnostic covers testing and a written estimate that is yours to keep. If you approve the repair, the estimated price is what you pay. If you decline, the diagnostic and return shipping are the only charges.

Can you recover files from a dead hard drive?

Often, yes. Data recovery is quoted after evaluation, and if we can't recover your data, there's no recovery fee. Tell us on the form if the files are the priority.

Is my data safe?

We only open the files needed to diagnose and repair the problem, and we don't access anything beyond that without asking you first. Nothing is wiped, reset, or reinstalled without your written approval.

What if it's not worth fixing?

We'll tell you. If the repair cost isn't justified by the computer's value, the estimate says so, and you decide. We can transfer your data to a new computer for $150.

Ready to ship your computer?

Submit your request, get shipping instructions within the hour, and let a real shop with real accountability handle your repair.
