They came when they said they would; they were knowledgeable and proficient, and returned when they said they would. I found their representative to be very pleasant and helpful.
Description of Work: They came to help with my slow 8-year old computer and non-working printer. They increased the computer storage, changed out the printer, gave me a different virus detector and generally were very helpful in keeping my ancient computer limping along for a bit longer.

I was given an appointment within a week of my call. The technician showed up exactly on time, and took just over an hour to complete his work. He was clear and polite, and went out of his way to make sure I was satisfied with the service.
Description of Work: My MacBook pro had been running slow for several months. In addition, I was having trouble downloading a couple of different softwares. The computer's internal diagnostics suggested I had a number of issues around scripts and possibly corrupted system software. The gentleman from Geek choice was able to clean up all the problems, reboot the system software, and now everything works just fine.

Arrived 30 minutes late (at least he called and told us that). He came in to work on computer...I told him all my problems and began watching what he was doing and asking him some questions. He was not particularly. talkative and eventually I left the room. EXACTLY 60 minutes later , he came out and announced he was done. I asked him if it was running well and he told me all that he had done and that it seemed to run OK and so he left. I went on the computer and found the computer was no faster, still was taking 3 seconds at a time to load page, not loading pages at all and sometimes just locking up....just like it was before. Weeks went and I finally decided I had to get another computer to solve my problems because if the compute people couldn't fix it it, I needed to get rid of it because it was too aggravating to continually use. I began shopping for a computer. I was looking at dell computer and reading reviews and feedback on dell computers. I came across a poor review from a dell customer with a reply from a dell representative which told the person to try their on line computer tune up. I went to their web page and ran their scan. The scan found numerous problems and said it could fix them for a $9.95 one time charge. Needless to say I was very reluctant but what was I to do......spend the $10 bucks or buy a new computer....I spent the $10 bucks and ran the program which took 15 minutes supposedly fix all my problems. Lo and behold after I restarted my computer.........it runs GREAT! Loads pages fast, no more freeze up and I am no longer shopping for a new computer!!!!! Yea Dell.....shame on Computer Geeks.
Description of Work: My computer was running so slow, it was frustrating. He cme in and cleaned up the computer and updated all the drivers.

. Matt arrived when he said that he would and after friendly hellos, got right down to business. He asked what we needed help with and then asked to see all the computers, and laptops. I had explained to him that our internet was not working and it was not a problem from our provider, because I had already checked that. He got right to work and soon my desktop was up and online. The laptops and I phones were still being knocked of the internet, so he went to check out our seven year old router. He recommended replacing it and he had one which he brought in and installed and then everything was up and running. He did this all within the time limit of the coupon and off he went. He was personable, professional, and I would highly recommend him to help you out with any computer glitch you might have.
Description of Work: Fixed our internet connection and recommended ( and we took his suggestion) a new router.

I called Geek Choice around noon on 8/1 and was initially told that the next in home appointment would be on 8/2, early in the morning. I asked if the tech could come a little later, like 10:30 or 11. I was put on hold while the customer service person contacted the tech to ask. When the CS person came back on the line, I was told that the tech could actually come today around 3:30 or 4. I agreed to that. The tech, Michael, drove up right at 4. Michael started the laptop in safe mode and ran some diagnostics. He was able to get the touchpad working then rebooted and ran virus software. Some malware was found and removed from the computer. My registry had been changed too. everything was fixed on my account as well as the other account on that machine. Michael also cleaned up some junk files and showed me how to do this on a regular basis. This whole thing took exactly 1 hour. Michael was pleasant and very knowledgable. At the time of my appointment, a coupon was available through Angie's List for $50 off. In my haste to get the computer fixed in a speedy manner, I did not buy it. I wish I had since I think $150 an hour is a little steep. But, service was in home, speedy and excellent so I feel like it was worth it. Would definitely use this company again.
Description of Work: Geek choice provided same day in home computer repair for my laptop which had been running really slowly, experiencing blue screen crashes and had a touch pad that no longer worked (the last straw).

Michael holmes came to the house. He was a pleasant and knowledgeable technician. When he left my computer's speed improved and he gave me a couple of tips to keep it working better.
Description of Work: Tech came to house. I originally bought this to help me with recovery data off an external hard drive. This is not something this company does which I was very disappointed. I had an older Dell laptop that was slow and he fixed it.

Because both my husband and I are technological dinosaurs, we found our assistant to be enormously patient with us, he explained everything in terms we could understand, and even though he was baffled by the problem we had, in the end it was his determination that led to us receiving a brand new computer from the manufacturer. He also helped me with my IPad. His name is Michael Holmes and I wish he lived next door!
Description of Work: He determined that the problem with our computer was with the hard drive itself and because the computer had a three-year warranty on it, he suggested we contact the manufacturer. We were able to receive from the manufacturer a brand new hard drive because the one in the computer was defective. We never would have known that if it weren't for my Geek Choice provider.

This was subbed out to a local person since the company is based in Massachusetts and we're in Brooklyn., which is fine and makes sense. The tech was knowledgeable and the computer now runs faster. I never had time to call back but our fire wall keeps shutting off ever since we had the service for some reason. I think it may be installed twice. HOWEVER Geek Squad just sent an email offering $50 for every "A " review on Angie's List. Why do I think that this is not in the spirit of this organization?

Michael Holmes was great- really tried to help me out and teach me things at the same time. There was a lot to do with our systems, and one thing led to another. I felt like he knew what he was doing, and wanted to do a good job. I'd gladly use Computer Geeks again and will ask for Michael.
