New Mexico’s Top Rated Local® Computer IT Services Award Winner: Computer Transformers

Top Rated Local® is pleased to announce that Computer Transformers is a two-time award winner in New Mexico for 2019!

For computer repair that you can rely on in Albuquerque, there’s no better company to turn to than Computer Transformers.

Computer Transformers has received dozens of reviews on three verified sites with an average rating of 4.91 stars, earning them a magnificent Rating Score™ of 95.13 and two Top Rated Local awards for 2019 — one for ranking among the top 100 businesses in New Mexico and one for ranking among the top 10 computer IT service providers in New Mexico!

Here’s just one of their many five-star reviews:

“This shop saved my butt today. My battery wasn’t charging, and using my laptop was a huge headache. I did a walk-in on a Friday morning, and these guys were able to quickly identify a faulty charger cable. The diagnosis took no more than five minutes, and they didn’t charge me for it (turned out to be a pretty simple check for them). They couldn’t order a new cable until Monday, but after digging through their spare inventory, they were able to find a working cable right there in the shop. They gave me a good deal on their spare, and my computer is working like normal again. I was in and out in less than 15 minutes. These guys were super helpful, and made the whole transaction easy and painless. Excellent service.” – Jeff T.

Not Your Average Computer Repair Company

We sat down with Margarita Saunders, the owner of Computer Transformers, to learn a little more about who they are and how they managed to build such an impressive online reputation.

The first thing we wanted to know was what sets Computer Transformers apart. Margarita pointed to their affordable rates. At Computer Transformers, they charge a $45 flat fee for repairs — unless there’s water damage — and no hourly rate. Margarita also pointed to the fact that they are committed to helping their clients solve problems above all else:

“We don’t try to upsell or ask clients to buy new products. We do everything in our power to resolve the issue and make the repairs. All others in our area and in our industry focus on making more money, not on solving the problem.”

We also wanted to know why they do what they do at Computer Transformers and how they work to make the world a better place. Here’s what Margarita had to say:

“We enjoy doing it immensely. We see how people get ripped off without good service. You need to have knowledgeable techs who are willing to educate. We don’t even charge for diagnostics. We are also in the university area, and students need their equipment back fast, so we always keep that in mind.”

Building Success by Solving Problems, Educating Clients and Asking for Feedback

Margarita credits Computer Transformers’ strong online reputation to their commitment to solving problems, educating their clients and asking for feedback:

“My son is the main tech, and he never stops until he solves a problem. Every computer is a new challenge, and we strive to fix computers that no one else can. We get a lot of Macs, especially the older ones that aren’t supported. We always figure out a way to get it done. Our techs are very experienced, and our knowledge is far superior. In fact, we also educate our clients to make sure they don’t suffer from similar issues. We fix things, like board damage and water damage. If its a quick fix, we often don’t charge and just ask for the reviews!”

Outside of building a powerful online reputation, Margarita has grown Computer Transformers through fliers and advertisements in the Daily Lobo. They advertised on Yelp in the past but didn’t see results from it. However, reviews are their most effective source of growth.

Clearly, Margarita understands a thing or two about how to build an online reputation and grow a business. Here’s her expert advice for the many other business owners out there looking to do the same thing:

“My advice is to hang in there. We see a lot of tech companies give up because they don’t persevere. It takes a while to build up a clientele. People won’t know who you are, so you have to get your information out there and hang in through the inevitable early dry spells of the business.”


Congratulations to the team at Computer Transformers for being a 2019 Top Rated Local award winner, and thank you so much, Margarita, for taking the time to speak with us!

For all of your computer repair needs in Albuquerque, we highly recommend Computer Transformers!
