The Best Reviews In The Industry
Here's what our customers say about us
Maryellen Estrada
I’ve used these guys a number of times and really appreciate the honest and quick service from Nate, Patrick, and Geo. I bought my husband’s phone to them thinking he needed to replace the charging port on his iPhone. Turns out it just needed a good cleaning. They didn’t charge me for something I didn’t need and didn’t even charge me for the cleaning. They are my go-to - technology is not my thing but it definitely is theirs.
James Darling
I don’t give reviews, so for me this is a rare occasion. I’ve used Compco to completely repair my laptop, and repair two different phones. The staff is incredibly friendly and knowledgeable. The owner has taken the time to know me on a first name basis and always makes it a priority to repair my electronics as fast as possible (always within a day). At this point, I just don’t think I could use anyone else. Compco is a treasure and if you’re reading this you should take full advantage.
Noelle Gross
I recently traded in my old laptop and they were great about giving me a fair price and making the process super easy! Way easier than trucking into the mall and waiting for service at the Apple store. The guys are great and gave me cash on the spot for my laptop. Great experience!
Monique Calabro
I purchased a refurbished Mac Book Pro years ago and it is still going strong. I have also brought in my iPhone for a glass screen repair and was out the door in under 30 minutes. Courteous and professional service!
Matt Spencer
Extremely knowledgeable and friendly and were able to fix an issue i had been struggling with for days. The entire process was quick, I was given regular updates and the price was the best I've had at a repair shop. I hope I don't have any more tech issues but if I do, I know where I'm going.
Frequently Asked Questions

If you want to change your payment type, you will have to contact us via email, or phone for one of our representatives to make the changes to your order. These changes will reflect under the “Adjustment” notes on your offer page.

How are the electronics evaluated?
The electronics are evaluated using a computer software for diagnosing phones. This software makes sure the model is correct and tests all functionality of the device(s). Once we have finished we manually grade the phone to be flawless, good, cracked screen only or damaged. We assess the physical condition of the item(s) to see if the category you selected matches its description. We look to see for scratches, dents, etc. We also look to see if the item(s) is real or counterfeit, as well as look to see if there was any tampering done to the item. Your item(s) is then checked for water damage. Lastly, we look to make sure that all passwords are removed so we can reset the phone and wipe out all personal information. If your evaluation was accurate, we will send you the money in the method you select. If not, we will offer you a new price, which you can accept, or ask for your item(s) back. Rest assured, at COMPCO, LLC., we give you the most value for your item.
