I called Perkins Computer Center to discuss cloning my hard drive to a SSD. The owner, Mr. Dean Harrison, was very friendly and appeared very knowledgeable about my computer job. I made an appointment to bring the computer to his business between 1:30 and 1:45 pm Wednesday. He informed me that they had recently moved to a different address and gave me that address as 8211 Goodwood. I arrived on time and found a group of suites at the address, but none were named ?Perkins Computer Center?. Mr. Harrison had not given me the suite number. After thoroughly searching the names posted on the outside wall of the building, I called the business number Mr. Harrison had given me from another business in the complex. Mr. Harrison did not answer so we left a message. After waiting for a call back and receiving none, I left. I Later, I spoke by phone directly to Mr. Harrison and explained to him that I had spent over an hour making the drive to his business at the appointment time, that he had not told me the name of the business had changed to HSoft, that he had not given me a suite number and that he had not been available at the business phone number during my appointment to provide directions. Mr. Harrison took absolutely no responsibility for this confusion and in fact blamed me for everything. After hearing his denials, I stated my intension to list this complaint on Google and Angie?s list. He stated that I could write to ?my little heart?s content?. Mr. Dean Harrison never attempted to explain, apologize or resolve my complaint. It is reasonable to expect a service provider to give the current name of their business, suite number and to be present at an appointment time. Therefore, I would highly recommend AGAINST doing business with Mr. Dean Harrison, HSoft, and/or Perkins Computer Center. Despite having very good computer sense, Mr. Harrison seems disdainful of customers, he relies on denial as a means to resolve problems and his behavior lacks professionalism.

Response from H Soft Perkins Computer Center
I wish to thank [member name removed] for being fair and mentioning that I sounded competent on the phone. I have 23 years of full time experience and I'm glad to be able to use my expertise in helping my customers. It is unfortunate that he was unable to find our new location even though he was twice given the name of the business (HSoft Consulting has been our name since 1998, Perkins Computer center was our location for the past four years), the address and the suite number during the phone conversations prior to the appointment. I also told him we are the suite all the way on the right of the complex. It is, indeed very easy to find. He mentions that I didn't call after the missed appointment; this is innacurate because I did call after he didn't show up, to see if I had missed him or if he was planning to come at a later time. [member name removed] was extremely hostile (screaming at me) on the phone and I told him I no longer wished to do business with him. My normal response would have been to drive to his location free of charge to pick up his equipment and also give him a discount in good faith for the mishap. In 17 years of business, miscommunications and mishaps do happen, and when they do I am very amenable to taking extra steps to ensure the satisfaction of the service and the longevity of the relationship.
