Description of Work: Viruses had invaded and stopped my computer and Merlin rectified the situation "cleaning out" my computer as well as checking my external hard drive (backup) too. He spent a lot of time teaching me (I'm a novice computer user) as well. Thankfully he is not only highly competent at his job but also incredibly patient ! Wife and business partner Sherry is also highly computer competent as well blessed with a great deal of patience. I appreciate them both. We've had Fast Rhino services both at home and in the shop over many years and ALWAYS have had excellent experience and service. I highly recommend Fast Rhino to anyone with a computer issue !

Description of Work: This is a reliable company and we used them for a number of years to maintain our two home laptop computers. They came on an annual contract twice a year to do the maintenance and were available by phone to answer questions. The only problem I had was they didn't want to maintain and sync our iPads and iPhones with our computers. This was neither efficient nor convenient. I liked the responsiveness of this company and their telephone help but ultimately we had problems because we also needed help with our mobile devices so we discontinued service. |

Description of Work: I am so pleased with this repair shop. I took my laptop in to fix a broken part where the battery charger gets plugged into. What's great is that they fixed it for much less than what I originally anticipated. They could have really taken me for a ride and I probably would have never known the difference. Instead, they fixed the problem in less time and half the original price. Honesty goes a long way in my book and that's what they are all about!

Fast Rhino is very thorough. They have set up our networking process as well as wireless processes. They explain everything they are doing and make sure that you understand all that is involved with their service. They stand by their products and are available by phone or email if you run into a problem. We wouldn't use anyone else and I would recommend them to anyone else.
Description of Work: We have been using this company for all our computer needs. They are punctual and very well versed in their service. We use them for service issues and products. They have set up our entire system including laptops, notebooks and desk top pc's.

I called in the morning to report the problem. Dave ( a very nice and knowledgable guy) came in the afternoon. He fixed the problem, checked/did some cleanup, conversed in a friendly way, then charged me half price of usual $85 because the service took such a short time.
Description of Work: My email password was clobbered on my system and I could not download emails. He contacted the email provider and had my email password reset.

I had a laptop that was a few years old and with new operating requirments (RAM) my computer was running very slow. I called Fast Rhino and they dispatched a tech the next day and it was determined that I needed to add more RAM. I was amazed that the tech could install the upgrade i9n such a short time (less than 1 hr.) After the upgrade was installed the tech ran the computer and cleaned up several other items. WOW what great service. I've used Fast Rhino for the past 3 to 4 years and each time I've called them with a problem they responded promptly and their fee's are always reasonable. I rate them a BEST BUY for keeping my computers running.

I used absolutely dread any computer problems because it is very hard to find computer service that is 1) competent and 2) not a rip-off. Thank goodness for Fast Rhino. I discovered them about three years ago and they have been a godsend. They are a small family owned company and have always given us very honest, competent, and customer oriented service. We always get great deals on new computers and equipment. They set up the computers, personalize them to the extent that you want by installing your own software or selling what you what you need, and remove all the bloatware before delivery. They have helped me with a variety of computer repair problems and have done it competently and swiftly. They have saved me money by encouraging me to bring in old software CD's to see if they are still valid rather than trying to sell me new stuff. Ditto with unnecessary repairs. I do a lot of business travel and they are always available by phone to rescue me if I have computer problems on the road. I have them on my speed dial and they have never let me down. They do work at their shop and will also come over to your house. They have helped us set up remote access, website updates, given us advice on software, hardware, and any other computer related problem. They have never tried to sell us any unnecessary goods or services. I know I sound like a fan club (we are not personal friends with them, honest), but computers have become so essential to many of us for business and personal use that having a reliable "computer guru" is extremely valuable. If you need one don't hesitate to use them. As for the person who gave them a "D" and called them "surly": The owners have always been models of politeness and professionalism. They are friendly, easy going people and I can't imagine them being "surly" with a customer.
Description of Work: Traded in old for new computer. I have also purchased other computers and equipment from them, computer service and repair on multiple occasions, and website updates over the past three years.

It has been almost 2 years since we have dealt with this customer and now he decides to give us a poor rating?? In January of 2008, we were called out to setup Quicken for his accounting computer, which we completed on-site and the client was pleased with our service. In May of 2008, we were called out to look at another computer because it would not boot. After diagnosing the system, we determined that it was infected with viruses to the point that it needed to be put on the bench for backup and restoration. After restoring the system, (total charge was $184) we returned it to the client's satisfaction. We called the client two weeks later to follow-up and he confirmed that everything was working fine. HOWEVER, the client then stated that he was a big investor in franchises and that our company should think about becoming a franchisor. As the owner of Fast Rhino, I scheduled another meeting with the client to discuss what he had to offer and later found out that he wanted us to give him $10,000 up front, with no due diligence on his part. When I refused to provide him the money, he became angry, telling me that my company would never grow or become anything. We have not spoken with this person since. It was my thought that Angie's List was a forum for people to provide feedback related to product and service experiences, not one to attack folks who don't agree to outside business arrangements. This person is obviously not happy with Fast Rhino because we would not become his business partner. Note to Angie's List: Please consider removing this post, as it has no relevance to the measurement of our products or services.

Overall performance was great. Merlin was very thorough in setting up the computer after purchase which included installation of Vista and setting up a wireless connection with a laptop computer in another room. We have used Fast Rhino on previous occasions to correct problems on our older computers. They are always available for help over the phone which has been a great help as we learn Vista. We highly recommend Fast Rhino for computer service and for the purchase and setup of new equipment.
Description of Work: We purchased a new desktop computer from Fast Rhino. The service was excellent and on time as promised. We thought that the price was very much in line with other comparable computers. It also has a 1 year in home warranty at no extra cost, something you don't get from other companies.

Just when I thought customer service was a thing of the past Fast Rhino appears in my life. This is a GREAT small local business. Courtesy, expertise, and free info (for old dogs like me) abound. I was given an estimate of charges but ended up way below that (I think they charge too little for all they do!!!!) Service was timely, efficient, and friendly. I WILL use Fast Rhino again!!!! Thank you Sherrie, Merlin, and staff!!!
Description of Work: Fast Rhino diagnosed my laptop mysteries, repaired a number of small glitches, replaced the battery after first giving me an estimate from their supplier, removed LOTS of junk on my hard drive that was useless and taking up space and gave me a TON of "tips" for better computer performance and enjoyment!!!
