Description of Work: You decide. |He came to my house, made sure he stayed, and charged, for 2.5 hours and when he left nothing was fixed. I ended up going to someone else. His diagnosis was incorrect and he spent a lot of time on the phone ordering recovery discs which I could have done myself. Those were an additional $69 and not sure I will even need them. After the 2.5 hours the vendor said the hard drive was corrupted. It was actually the internal video on the mother board that was causing the problem. The hard drive is fine. | |And the charge for actually fixing the problem? $45. The shop I took it to does not charge for diagnosis. Only for fixing the problem.

Response from Computer Medics
[Member Name Removed], Thank you for sending over the invoices. The laptop computer I worked on was completely restored to factory using the factory partition when I was on site. Doing it again so quickly due to another corruption is a different issue. I have done hundreds of them and to do it again so quickly means either bad memory, bad main board or bad drive. The laptop was working as normal when I completed the restore. It took approximately 90 minutes to do the restore and configuration to get the laptop on line and in a state that the laptop could start the updates to Windows. I did not stay for the updates due to the amount of time taken to complete these updates. The invoice for the desktop just confirms what I told you when I was there also. The video card was bad. I was able to get it to boot to windows and it would start an endless loop of turning and says Windows was corrupted and then reboot. It was a corrupted Windows . I said I could backup your data and either you could buy a new computer or I could install a new drive and install Windows on a new drive and not have to use the time to transfer the data from the old drive to another drive and then move it back. $50 for a drive vs about an hour $79 to do the data transfer. Your computer will work with a different video card. When the video card on the motherboard fails the next step is to add a separate card to replace it such as your was configured. The diagnosis was correct. I spent an hour booting your desktop in multiple different configurations. (without any cards using the mainboard video (fail) 2 cards installed (fail) cards flipped around (fail)1 card top slot, 1 card bottom slot, other video card in the top slot, and that card in bottom slot}. My results where that the card I left in the computer and in the top slot allowed the system to boot. Windows just needed a repair. I ran my tech disk as well as ran memory test to confirm all else was functioning. You were there to observe as I did this. Steven Fuel Computer Medics

Wonderful. They've very good. It didn't take long to get an appointment set up with them. He was right on time. My computer had a really bad virus and he was able to repair it. I had been on the line with Microsoft a couple of times and they couldn't make the repair remotely. They were very good about it. He cleaned my computer right up, he made a lot of little adjustments for me. It took almost an hour and a half. They were reasonably priced for their performance. Their price seems to be competitive for their performance, and I thought it was very good for the service I received. I would absolutely use this company again in the future.

They are a wonderful company. They charge for the first hour but after that they charge us by the half hour. This is nice because you are not paying for 2 or 3 hours when they are here for an hour and a half. They are clean, fast and always on time, and they do their work. I would rate them highly and would continue to use them in the future.
Description of Work: We used Computer Medics several years ago to set up our new computers for us. We use the same company - not that we get the same technician each time - for any kind of work. The last time they were here, they cleaned up a bunch of stuff and installed new anti-virus software for us.

Mike cleaned up and adjusted my desktop computer so that it runs rapidly. He added a better software to keep the hard drive organized. He found the electrical problem with the laptop, fixed it and provided advise on how to handle it in the future. I had called the company for printer repairs. I was given advice on printers over the phone. I then asked for computer repairs; the technician (Mike) arrived within an hour.
Description of Work: Desktop computer was running slowly; laptop could not maintain electrical charge in battery even when connected to wall outlet.

It went very well. Lawrence Parker arrived 4-5 minutes early with satchel in hand. He introduced himself, gave me his card and was ready to sit down to the computer. He immediately started to work and worked continuously. I was close by and he asked me 2-3 questions about the computer as he was working. He was knowledgeable and could answer a few general questions that I had.
Description of Work: Trouble with my laptop not recognizing me as the user. (I'm the only user). Recent trouble in sending attachments on my desktop. Computer is slow to respond.

The tech had a 9.00am show-up time. Traffic messed with him, he called us and said he'd be here at 9.15am. He arrived at 9.05. Smart guy. He under-promised and over-performed. He was so focused he wasn't interested in a cup of coffee. He got right to it and discovered the problems and solved them. I was impressed. This is a class outfit. A customer service oriented company. We need more of them.
Description of Work: One of our laptops was seriously sluggish. The CM tech sat down with the computer and attacked. He cleaned up stuff that wasn't necessary for normal operations and de-installed the Norton protection software. He also suggested a memory upgrade, giving us the specs and the vendors, and easy to follow instructions for installing the chips.

Christian was fantastic. Not only did he fix the problems with my computer, he took time to educate me about several aspects of my computer operation that I didn't know. He is not the typical non-responsive "propeller head" that you often get with computer service and repair companies. He talks like a normal person and does not talk down to you in "techie-speak". My only regret is that I didn't call them a month ago when my computer started slowing down. He was at our house 2 hours and gave me a 10% discount for using Angie's List.
Description of Work: My Windows computer started running slow, then slower, then stopped and would not boot up. After reviewing Angie's List, I called Computer Medics. They arranged an appointment later that day. A technician, Christian, showed up on time and was extremely professional and competent. He reviewed all of the areas of my computer that were causing problems, ran scans for spy ware, ad-ware, registry problems, etc. that my programs didn't detect. He also deleted a well known virus checking program that was making my computer run very slow and replaced it with a low cost program that performs better and does not slow down my system.

The website has run fine since then. Really, he did what he said he was going to do. He helped my husband fix a problem and one of the other problems was not so easily fixed and we ended up getting a new computer. The major problem was the website. The second problem was a laptop we tried to run it off a network to use a printer. He said we needed something done which we did and it still did not work. We then took it somewhere else and they said it was probably not fixable. On a scale of 1 to 5 I would give him a four.
Description of Work: My husband runs a web page for my son's high school baseball team. You could no longer access the page and it was frustrating. The guy that came out did some things to it and helped get some of the things off the hard drive that made it difficult to run.

He was great. Punctual, polite, knowledgeable, and professional. The price was very reasonable and well worth it. He resolved a very frustrating problem quickly.
Description of Work: Mike figured out that the reason our computer was repeatedly crashing was that the wireless router was old and in need of replacement. He installed a new router that had been provided to us by our phone service, which we hadn't been able to figure out how to install. He also fixed a problem where we couldn't print from our laptop.

I called Computer Medics to set an appointment and the tech was sent the same day. He was very knowledgeable and quick (considering they charge by the hour). He was also willing to help me with little odds and ends on my computer that I did not know how to do. He finished within the hour and I was only charged the hour fee of 79.00.
Description of Work: Tech reinstalled drivers for computer to fix issue with color depth and screen resolution. Tech also helped me set up my Outlook Express with new internet provider.

I was amazed when I called in the morning and was told that the company could have a computer tech at my house between 1-3 p.m. that day. Triston arrived as promised, had a very engaging personality and was willing to explain what he was doing and why; something that I haven't experienced with another company. And Computer Medics' prices are much more reasonable in addition to the fact that they came to me the same day. The last time another company worked on my laptop, they said they'd have it 7-10 days, kept it 2-1/2 weeks and charged me much more for the work. So I was thrilled with the timeliness and cost of Computer Medics' service and would highly recommend them to anyone having computer issues.
Description of Work: After taking my laptop on a trip and having wi-fi issues, it wouldn't connect to a pre-existing wireless network at home with my desktop. So I was stuck using an old, very slow desktop and sitting at a computer desk rather than using a much speedier laptop sitting wherever I wanted. Triston quickly diagnosed and fixed the problem, made sure that the laptop was "talking" to the printer and with time left in the hour, we discussed computer security programs and I had him install one that he recommended highly. He also told me about an off-site external back-up. I've been backing up pictures, music and documents to an external hard drive, but if I were (heaven forbid) to have a fire, it would be destroyed. I felt that was very useful information.

My tech, Mike, arrived promptly at the appointed time. He asked several questions and then looked at the computer and began to work asking questions as he proceeded. He diagnosed the problems and then corrected the problems to my satisfaction. He was very professional and showed me ways to help myself after he left and also offered to help me thru any issues that might pop up after he left by calling him. My computer is now running smoothly!
Description of Work: Tech cleaned up my computer and corrected all functions that were causing the computer to freeze or have pop-ups. He also added a needed virus protection plan to my computer.

I found this company off of Angie's List. They were very punctual. In fact, he even showed up early. My computer needed a new part and he actually went to Wal-Mart to purchase it for me and he only charged me for the part cost. He did not charge me for his time that it took to go get it, which I thought was really nice. In my opinion, they went above and beyond.
Description of Work: He came to my home to service my computer. I was having problems with the speed of my computer, so he cleaned up some things in order to make it run faster. The job took about three hours and he worked on both of my networks.

I had made an appointment with another computer repair company. They didn't show up and got snooty when I called, so I switched to Computer Medics. Triston, the tech, called to let me know he was on his way and arrived in a timely fashion. He got right to work, using a long list of problem descriptions I gave him. In three hours (at $75 per hour), he had 85% of my problems fixed. The remaining problems would take way too much effort to fix, so I decided to live with them. Triston does not have any Microsoft Certification and says he gained his expertise by ''general application,'' which I took to mean on the job training from working with his Dad, the owner. It didn't seem to make a difference, as he was able to solve my biggest problems. And, I got a 10% senior discount.
Description of Work: They cleaned up several software glitches on my Dell laptop and Dell desktop.

Computer Medics was very informative on what the problem was. They told me what was wrong and said it would cost about $225 to replace my hard drive. We chose to just buy a new computer. They did charge us for the service call but they taught us a little about the problem.

This is the second time we have called them to do repairs on our computer, and both times the problem they dealt with has not returned. The technician who fixed it was very knowledgeable. He explained what he did, so we could understand. Then he stayed for about two more hours to give us a short lesson in computers. The cost was low, and he had excellent manners.

Computer Medics has very competent people working for them. I was very impressed by their knowledge and ability to fix my computer. They explained everything very clearly to me in laymen terms. I have used this company before and I am always very pleased with their service. They do charge a per hour rate.
Description of Work: I had them come out and look at my computer as I was having problems with my hard drive.
