Computer repair nightmare stories? A privacy thing.?

Question

I have 2 computers that no longer work. I am thinking of having them repaired through a big-name place like Circuit City or Best Buy but I am a little concerned about just handing over my computers that obviously contain all my info/photos/credit card info stored as cookies, etc. Has anyone had any bad experiences with people violating their privacy or stealing your info when you had your computer repaired? I know I sound paranoid but it only takes one idiot to steal my info and cause a lot of problems. If you have had a great experience having a computer reapired, where did you go? Thanks. ***i cannot clean out my cookies b/c neither computer will even turn on***
