Our Story

STARTED IN A GARAGE

Back in 2007, I noticed something frustrating in Schaumburg: good people struggling to find quick, affordable repairs for their electronics. The big box stores were slow and overpriced. The small shops felt sketchy. There had to be a better way.

In 2010, with the help of a friend, I started Zombie Techs. The name? Because we bring dead devices back to life. Simple as that.

Now in our 16th year of service, we've brought over 13,000 devices back to life for our neighbors in Schaumburg, Des Plaines, and across the Northwest Suburbs. From the earliest iPhones to the latest MacBooks, we provide the expert, dedicated care the big-box stores can't match.

"Zombie Techs in Des Plaines did an outstanding job on my HP Pavilion All‑in‑One. They replaced the CMOS battery, cleaned and inspected the cooling fan, and confirmed everything with proper testing — all for a fair price of $49.95. My computer now runs quietly and error‑free. Professional, honest, and highly recommended!"
