Chris B. - Bothell, WA
Decades before things such as the "Geek Squad" there were little neighborhood hole in the wall funky computer shops. Back then these places truly were the future as you could go into one of these shops and see the very latest computer technology and video games. Computer Concepts reminds of one of these shops from the past. These guys are amazing! Each time they have fixed my computer problems at a minimal cost. They even clean out the dust from your computer rig as well which is nice. Go here if you need you computer or your tablet fixed.
Robert B. - Snohomish, WA
Excellent service and friendly staff! They took care of my laptop issue and didn't try to sell me any unwanted extra services. I would go there again and recommend to friends!
CC C. - Seattle, WA
This morning, my laptop suddenly froze up; my friend recommended this outfit, so I called, and the owner tried unsuccessfully to get in to my system using a team viewer, so I was forced to make the drive to their store. Long story short: Great experience, everything is fixed and now purring along, I have a new anti-virus program, the cost was very reasonable, and I am a very happy customer!

About
What Makes Us Worthy of Your Business?
Curiosity Drives our Expertise. Fun Drives our Enthusiasm.
Computers are machines that serve people's intentions at any given moment. To us, they also represent the merger of ideas and changing technologies. All of us at Computer Concepts are innately and intentionally driven to participate in the technological world as it continues to change.
The Founders
Founded in 1990 by technology aficionados Will and Robin Rutherford, with the help of their like-minded friend Charles, Computer Concepts initially provided Amiga (Commodore), Atari, Mac and PC hardware, software and service. Over the next ten years the company shifted, in step with its customers, to primarily PC-related services. We continue to incorporate technology advances into our knowledgebase and product lines.
Still Having Fun
Our founders' initial bond with computers was forged through gaming. Will and Robin are Dungeons & Dragons players who jumped to online games early, as the internet advanced. Virtually all Computer Concepts staff actively play—and we love talking about it! We build gaming systems and stock our collectibles area because we truly enjoy tech pop culture.
Transparent Value
You can watch us work at the store, if you like. Repair pricing is based on the actual time spent, not set fees that can cost you too much. We stand behind every piece of computer equipment we sell with a one-year warranty.
Our Reviews
We are extremely proud of our five-star reviews on Yelp and Angie's List. Our customers rarely experience the need for a service re-do, but if it happens we make it right. When we do a repair or build a system, we can say confidently "See you in a few years for an upgrade!"
The People Working for You
Staff stick around, so when our customers come back for that upgrade, we know each other.
Founders
Robin Rutherford
Robin co-founded Computer Concepts with the idea of doing every job the right way. She keeps her eye out for the best equipment and collectibles while keeping the business books. She has a thing for Minecraft gear. When not working, she creates imaginative quilts, plays online games and enjoys an occasional game of Dungeons & Dragons. Robin is married to co-founder, Will.
Will Rutherford
Will's approach as Computer Concepts' co-founder is to make technology user-friendly for everyone. He's a plain-talker who oversees customer service for the company. He continues to service computers and systems and is well-known to just about every customer. He indulges in a monthly Dungeons & Dragons game with coworkers and is an online gamer. Will is married to co-founder, Robin.
Partners
Charles
Charles formally joined Computer Concepts in 1997 and is now a partner in the business. He is the Lead Technologist, systems co-administrator and keeps the entire team updated on security threats and tools. He enjoys a good mystery, listening to jazz and blues, and (of course) online games. He is part of the monthly Dungeons & Dragons group (with Will and Nate).
Craig
Craig was a Computer Concepts customer for 20 years before joining our team. He helps direct Computer Concepts toward new services that support customers' changing technology needs. He became a partner in 2017. Shortly thereafter, Craig left his Microsoft roles as Principal Data Scientist and Director Level Test Manager to join our team.
