We only open the files needed to diagnose and repair the problem, and we don't access anything beyond that without asking first. Nothing is wiped, reset, or reinstalled without your written approval. Back up before you ship; drives can fail during any repair, and no shop can guarantee data.

PACKING GUIDE

How to pack your device

Most shipping damage comes from loose movement inside the box. Ten minutes of packing prevents it.

Do this

Back up your data first if the device powers on
Use a rigid cardboard box with at least 2 inches of padding on every side
Laptops: wrap fully in bubble wrap so nothing can shift
Desktops: original packaging if you have it — otherwise double box with padding between
Include the power adapter or charger
Put a note inside with your ticket number, device password, and return address
Insure the shipment for your device's full value

Leave these at home

SHIP TO

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. 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.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. 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

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. 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.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. 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.

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.

Questions

Before you ship.

How long does mail-in 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 and your device goes to the front of the queue.

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.

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. If your drive is failing, we tell you before we do anything else. That said, back up before you ship — drives can fail during any repair, and no shop can guarantee data.

What if it can't be fixed?

We'll tell you. If the cost of the repair isn't justified by the value of the machine, the written estimate says so, and you decide. You pay only the diagnostic and return shipping, and we can transfer your data to a new computer for $150.

What if my device is damaged in shipping?

Inbound, your carrier's insurance covers it — which is why we recommend insuring the shipment to your device's full value. Outbound, every device ships insured to your declared value with signature required, and we handle the claim. Report any issue within 48 hours of delivery and keep the packaging.

Do you work on Macs?

Yes. iMacs, MacBooks, and Mac minis, alongside Windows desktops, laptops, gaming PCs, and all-in-ones.

Where are you located?

Blue Springs, Missouri, just east of Kansas City. We serve walk-in customers across the KC metro and mail-in customers nationwide.
