While most retailers complained of exceptionally tough trading conditions over the Christmas period, Dun Laoghaire -based computer repair specialists A1 Computers were celebrating as their 10,000th customer walked through their doors on January 5th last.
Jennifer Johnston received champagne and a free repair for being the 10,000th computer repair customer to visit their shop at Johnstown Shopping Centre, Johnstown Road. Jenny is herself a business owner. She owns Johnston Antiques, which specialises in Irish and English Georgian Furniture.
A1 Computers will celebrate their 20th year in business this year. A1 Computers offers a comprehensive repair service for laptop, PC and printer repair services, catering for businesses, schools and domestic users. A1’s trained engineers also call out to clients from Dublin City Centre to Newtownmountkennedy and they will soon be celebrating their 1,000th call-out.
A1 Computers tackles the many nasty viruses that afflict computers. Recently, it has been picking up the pieces after a number of its customers were scammed by people ringing up and offering to fix their computers – if they handed over their credit card details.
Melanie Kovero of A1 Computers says that the company owes its entire success to its loyal fanbase of local customers and is determined to reward that loyalty. “People depend on their computers and we really try to give a local, friendly service. It’s a place you can come to and be greeted with a smile. You are dealing with legitimate, professional and honest computer experts, which gives complete peace of mind.”
