Lee spent over three hours working my computer. It turns out that things weren't completely fixed and I had to try calling him back and getting more help over the phone in order to get things going.

What I needed, he couldn't do. He never came out, I talked to him over the phone. He said that he wasn't able to provide the service. I was going to need more than what the Big Deal covered and it was getting close to the expiration date. I wouldn't recommend him.
Description of Work: Fischer Computer Services was supposed to work on my computer for two hours. There was no service performed. It was supposed to be a Big Deal purchase.

Response from Tech Rescue St Louis
I'm not clear on why this commentary got posted, She explicitly says she never hired me! If it was for 2 hours, as states, it definitely would not have cost $39. There was no record of this customer purchasing a Big Deal. We never spoke on the phone. I believe this negative experience was a different company.

I called Lee and he made a home visit the next day. He addressed the error messages and helped me order a new battery. He saved me money by showing me how to change the battery myself. We accomplished everything in one hour and I was very happy. I will call Lee again and recommend others do the same!
Description of Work: My computer kept sending error messages about storage and I began to have problems with the battery holding a charge.

It went so well. The owner is an extremely conscientious person, and Goes The Extra Mile to Help People. That's what it is all about, I think, helping people. The systems in my computer run fast, there are no headaches, and I am just so pleased with how it went. The hourly rate is pretty standard for what he does, but its still hard to write that check, know what I mean? That's the only reason I gave the price a B. All in all, this guy gets a Page of Happiness from me for a job extremely well done.
Description of Work: I needed a new computer set up, all files transferred to it, and the old computer destroyed, a new router installed, all software set up and running, and malware and virus blockers installed

Lee arrive and went to work taking my hard drive out of the laptop. He plugged it into my other computer then started moving data from the hard drive to flash drives. Took him almost an hour and he was on his way. Couldn't have asked for better service. I would use him again and I highly recommend him.
Description of Work: Called several places to get an estimate of trying to retrieve data from a computer hard drive. The computer was dead but I knew if the hard drive wasn't damaged data could be retrieved. The first place I had used said, sure I can do it but you will need to leave the computer with me for at least a week. Second place said they would call back and didn't. Lee was responsive saying the he could get the data if it was still in good shape. He asked me if I had another computer or flash drives he could move the data to and told we set an appointment for the same afternoon. He was on his way to my house to do the work but got caught in traffic. Even though he would only be 5-10 minutes late he called and let me know he was on his way. In my estimation this is good customer service.

I kept Lee busy for over 4 hours taking care of issues on my computer. While he was diagnosing that situation described above he discovered that one of my programs was continually saving a cache copy and never clearing itself out. He found out that was a big reason my c: drive was filling up. He then switched all data: pictures, videos, documents, downloads, etc to be stored on the d: drive. He removed and reinstalled several programs to get them to work correctly and also to make sure they knew where the data was being stored now. Lee was very patient listening to my questions and concerns and addressed each issue. We also discussed future courses of action we could take to help some problems I brought up. I was very happy with Lee and will keep his card for all my future computer needs.
Description of Work: I called Lee to help me relieve pressure on my SSD drive which is my boot up C: drive. I also had multiple questions and concerns about various issues on my computer and how some programs were working and some were not.

Now that Microsoft is forcing Windows 10 upgrades (instead of as an option), we are serving A LOT of people with Windows problems. I have yet to run into one I couldn't fix. But some computers don't support Win10, even though Microsoft says they will. I'm glad I was able to get them both back to full functionality. Thanks for your kind review, Ms. [Member Name Removed].

It went very well. The technician was very knowledgeable about computers and explained to me how to get the most out of my new Windows 10 update. I appreciated all that he did and will definitely use him in the future, and will not hesitate to recommend him to others.
Description of Work: The provider scanned my computer and cleaned up the viruses. He also fixed my printer/fax machine. Before it would not fax properly...now it does. He also made me aware of useful applications on my computer that I was not aware of.

We were satisfied that our problems were corrected. He arrived on time and honored the first hour discount provided through Angie"s List. He assessed our difficulties and corrected to bring our systems back to speed. I made notes on his instructions to maintain computer performance to maximize this visit. We appreciated the in-home service and would call him again.

Your safety with at-home service is a priority. The extra degree of security as well as comfort and the simplicity offered with personal visits are my specialty. Virus removal by some online companies doesn't get at every problem. I'm thankful for your trust in me to help you out in person. I'm glad I was able to help you. Thank you so much for all Straight A grades, and for your business. I appreciate it.

Lee Fischer was a consummate pro. This was a big job and Lee did not charge me for idle times such as when files were transferring and there was nothing else for him to do. I strongly recommend Fischer Computer Services to others with computer problems such as mine.
Description of Work: Moved hardware, software and files from a dying computer to a newer computer. Organized iTunes and other files. This system was a mess and Lee cleaned it all up. Everything is working perfectly now.

The hours we spent migrating your personal backups into the new setup ought to keep you in good shape for another few years. There were a lot of different aspects to combining your two work stations into one. And I'm glad you feel the value that my experience brought to the situation was a savings for you compared to making another computer purchase. Thanks for your trust, sir.

The service provider sent me to the computer store for a part that ultimately was never needed or used, wasting my time and money. When I returned he let me know that he didn't need the part. After a certain amount of time I came into the room to see the progress only to find that the provider had rearranged my office (without asking my permission to do so.) He told me that he thought it would work better like this. After 6 hours in the office the work still hadn't been completed. When he had my boss attempt to send a fax to check the connection, his communication was very unprofessional and still lacking in results. He left without hooking up the fax and I had a rearranged office that I didn't ask for. He was nice and tried really hard but I feel that if he didn't know how to hook up the fax he should have said something within the first 1/2 hour of him being there.
Description of Work: I wanted to have my home printer hooked up to send and receive fax.

Urgent need to recover files and return operating system to working order. Called provider early in morning and he was able to come to family member's home later that afternoon. Determined the cause but had to take laptop back to his office to make the repair, given the size of the files. completed the repair that evening and then brought it back to family member's home the next morning about 8am. Everything worked the way it should. Lee was very knowledgeable, as well as friendly, professional and accommodating. Will definitely use him again when needed.
Description of Work: Family member's laptop crashed. Provider determined the cause was a few corrupted files. Bridged remaining files to a separate server, then reloaded operating system, and then bridged files back to laptop.

Thank your for submitting a review. We appreciate your business. Every computer and computer part has a limited lifespan. We always recommend having an automatic backup strategy in place that protects you from data loss. It was good fortune that the hard drive cooperated juuust long enough to save your data! Good luck with your new computer, and thank you for your business.

Not as well as he hoped. It was not a simple reinstall. He gave me the choice to install the free upgrade to Windows 10 or keep Windows 7. I choose to go to Windows 10. That's when the problems arose, I don't know enough about computers to explain all the problems He took the CPU home to work on, rather than at my home. after spending about 3 hrs on the first day without success.. Returned the computer on Saturday AM, fixed. He explained what he did along the way,had to replace a part, contact Microsoft concerning the free upgrade, He determined that my computer was not really compatible for Windows10. Through the process he contacted me before he did anything to the computer. The next day (Sunday) he contacted me to make sure everything was OK and it was and to contact him if I had any problems. I contacted Lee on Wednesday about noon. He came out the same day around 2:00pm.
Description of Work: re install Windows 7 after I tried to upgrade to Windows 10,but went back to Windows 7.

My computer service experience with Lee Fischer went very well. He is friendly and professional. I would definitely recommend him to help you resolve any computer issues you may be having.
Description of Work: I am not very computer savvy as I mostly use my computer for emails, games and saving some documents. I had bought a laptop a couple years ago and wanted to learn how to use it and transfer some documents from an older desktop computer to the laptop so when I saw Fischer Computer Services advertised on Angie's list, I decided to try it. I'm so happy I did. Lee came to the house and worked his magic on my computers and taught me so much along the way. He removed so much "junk" from it that I don't use and don't want. He educated me as he worked. I was very happy with his service. I will definitely call him again with any future computer problems I may run into.

Lee arrived about 45 min. late but he did call me prior to my appointment time to tell me he would be late. He did arrive at the new time. Lee is quite thorough in his examination of computer programs and operation. Lee spent 2 hours on my computer, which added $80 to the $39 Big Deal but it was worth it to get my computer running much better.
Description of Work: Lee asked me many questions about the speed and operation of my computer. I felt the speed of operations was slowing down, pop-ups were occurring. My computer is about 2.5 years old and I was sure there were lots of cookies to clean out. Lee also checked the program list to identify and remove any suspicious programs. He also checked for compatibility of my programs.
