“I recently had to send in the computer from one of the Aim machines that we have. On the way there, the shipper mishandled it so by the time it got to your shop, it had a bent frame, the touch screen wires were torn from the glass, the standoffs were bent or gone and it still needed the hard drive that it had been sent in for. In comes Artur, who really stepped up to the plate. He found parts from where ever and put it back together, it looks good, shipped it the same day and it even runs! We are tight on machine time and I really needed back up running and Artur made it happen. Nicely done.”
