I contacted Lowell when I needed my computer brought up to date with a new motherboard, processor, memory and vid card. He recommended parts that would work well to give me the performance I was looking for. I ordered the parts online and delivered them and my computer to Lowell who worked his magic. The computer was back to me in just a couple of days all updated, tested and working great! Lowell was very knowledgeable about all of it. And his price was affordable! I highly recommend you call Lowell with any computer work you might need done.
Description of Work: Rebuilt my existing computer.

Lowell was very responsive, explained computer problems and terminology in a way that was very accessible, and went above and beyond what was asked of him. Forget reality TV star Cesar Millan the "Dog Whisperer", Lowell is your honest and talented local "Computer Whisperer". In the past I have had computers serviced at the big box stores where I originally purchased the machine but after working with Lowell I will never go back to these big box "service and intelligence vacuums". You can't beat his prices, level of service and expertise, I highly recommend Lowell's Computer Repair to family and friends.
Description of Work: Lowell provided a tune-up to a slow running laptop computer. This tune up included optimization of system settings to reduce the time required for Windows boot up, removal of bloat software, and installation of a improved anti-virus system. Now, after the tune-up it's running great and saved me from needing to purchase a new computer.

Lowell gave me very detailed instructions about accessing the web site that enabled him to work by remote. He told me how to get an ID and a password, what to unplug, when to switch talking from my land lane to my cell so we could communicate while the system was unplugged. I haven't received an invoice on the coast, but Lowell's pricing has always been fair. He has been helping us with computer issues for at least 7 years and he is always pleasant, reliable and easy to work with. I recommend Lowell's Computer Repair and give his service top rating.
Description of Work: Lowell was able to reset my modem, speed up my computer and help access my e mail- all done remotely from his home.

I couldn't be happier with the computer. I had two software issues and he resolved them quickly. Recently I had questions about Skype equipment. He responded quickly with affordable recommendations for microphones and vendors.
Description of Work: Lowell Archer of Lowell's Computer Repair built a new computer for me and I'm very pleased with it. He excels in customer service. He asked questions to learn what I needed and how I'd use the computer. He built me a zippy new computer within my budget and with all the features I need. He made a house call to install the computer and made sure all functions worked correctly. Lowell is a pleasure to work with. He's knowledgeable, calm, and patient with non-techie types. He explains technical concepts in real-people language. It's a relief to know that he's there to help with any computer-related problems I encounter. I highly recommend Lowell Archer for building new computers, upgrades, trouble-shooting, and general information on computer maintenance. His charges are very reasonable.

I called Lowell's computer repair service around 7 pm to ask for help in stopping a virus that some how got past my Vipre security system. It was destroying files right in front of me, I could see it destroying parts of my files. I had never experienced this before. At first Lowell tried to work remotely to control the spread of the virus. He quickly determined he needed to come on site and fix the problem. This was an aggressive virus and I was in the middle of a large consulting project. Since time was of the essence, Lowell was able to respond right away and work on my computer. He brought his equipment with him to download necessary tools to stop the virus and reload my computer files. I did not lose a single file and the virus was wiped clean from my computer. I was extremely thankful for his quick response along with his knowldege and skills in helping to preserve my file system. I have worked with Lowell in the past. He built my desk top computer according to my specifications and I have been very satisfied with it along with the cost. Lowell charges reasonable rates and was very responsive to my time sensitive computer repair needs. I highly recommend his services!
Description of Work: Responded to my evening call regarding an agressive computer virus that was destroying my files.

I was visiting Portland, Oregon. Shortly after my arrival in Portland, I need to review and edit documents on my laptop for an upcoming presentation at work. I had trouble opening my documents. I am not very tech savvy. A friend recommended Lowell Archer of Lowell's Computer Repair. I called Lowell and he was available to help me. Lowell was a life saver. He quickly identified the problem. Apparently, my files were corrupted by a virus. He was able to "de-bug" my computer and upgrade my anti-virus program. I highly recommend Lowell. He is very responsive, knowledgeable, friendly, and professional. His rates are very reasonable. I was lucky to have found him.

I have never had such a great experience with any computer company before. We got Lowell's name from a friend who raved about his services.Our schedule is a challenge so Lowell visited our home on a Sunday to help us figure out what computer would best meet our needs according to our use, priorities, and budget. He ordered individual parts for us emphasizing quality. He built us a computer that can be easily upgraded in the future based on the case design, and a power supply that could easily handle upgrades for gaming if desired in the future. It has a 3.4ghc dual core processor, 8gb memory, 500gb,7200rpm hard drive,a quality mother-board with anti-humidity protection, a real video card and DVD burner. Ten days after our initial meeting Lowell returned to our home, set-up the computer, reconnecting it to my monitor, modem, and printer, transferred data,and re-installed programs. He had me try out the new computer to make sure I was satisfied, and took the time to give me some user tips. He says he guarantees his work, and is available via remote support, or in person when necessary for any help I need even late at night. What a relief. I now feel computer secure.
Description of Work: Lowell came to our home, assessed our technology needs and without exceeding our budget designed and custom built a computer. Lowell delivered, installed and tested the system out. As part of the installation Lowell transferred data and re-installed programs from the old computer to the new one. He also wiped clean the old computer before we donated it.
