BIO: Cantrell's Computer Sales and Service was "born" in March, 1998 as a Computer Renaissance franchise. The tagline, "We Buy, Sell, Trade Used and New Computer Equipment" was the foundation of our business for many years. The computer service and repair side of our business has grown over the years and is now one of the main engines of our business.
