Ever wonder where to take your computer or printer in for a repair to a place that is not vaguely reminiscent of the store from the movie
The 40 Year Old Virgin? And perhaps does not involve hopping on a freeway?
Try Trek Computers on E. Jefferson, a storefront shop that offers reasonably priced repairs to PC computers and printers.
Model D reader Libby Pachota recently had her HP printer repaired at Trek for $25. She realized her printer was broken after ink spilled into its innards. "I figured I could get online with HP or spend a couple of hours navigating a phone menu with some one far, far away," she says. "Or I could just take it to Donnie."
Donnie is Donnie Hall, a native east sider who opened Trek, in part, to increase the computer literacy of his neighborhood. The shop offers an open computer lab with hourly rates, as well as printing services.
All in all, Trek is a 19th century neighborhood storefront offering a distinctly 21st century service. The store is at
14708 E. Jefferson. Call them at 313-821-6170.
