These guys are fabulous. They were able to fix the mess Xfinity caused. My whole system was down and after three days of trying, Xfinity Could Not figure out why they could not restore it all remotely. The Computer Guyz came and worked with Xfinity's technicians to set it back up. Can't thank them enough. Price, which was gentle, did include new equipment. Sheila D.

[member name removed] I apologize for the delay. Part of the delay was on the data recovery. The lack of communication is totally unacceptable and I'm very sorry. Is there anything we can do to make you a happier client? I cut the bill down significantly based on the delay and hope you accept out apologies and allow us to make it up to you.

It was the worst experience I have had with a vendor in a long time. Sunday morning my computer crashed. I'm an accountant so this is the worst time for this to happen, Its the height of the tax season. As a result I contact computer guyz on Monday at 10:30 am. I was told to bring my computer in, so I arrive to their office at 11:40 am. I was told it would take a couple of hours to diagnose the problem. I was contacted at 12:30 pm and was informed that the problem was a burn out power circuit, and the part would have to be ordered. I requested that the part be order over night at an addition cost of $27.00. The representative told I would be contacted the next day once my computer was fixed. Tuesday at 2.15 pm I was able to get in touch with someone at the office after numerous attempts to find out the status of my computer, The individual I spoke to was Jed who informed me that the part that was ordered was not the problem. My computer needed a new mother board, which would be over two hundred dollars. As a result asked if he would be able to transfer my programs to another computer if I buy one, He said yes, and tried to talk me into buying a computer from Compute Guyz, I informed him I was going to HH Gregg and would bring the computer right over. I arrived back at Computer Guyz at 3.30 pm Tuesday with the new computer after leaving HH Gregg. I informed them I had some important professional Accountant programs I needed transferred to the new computer. I was informed that they could handle it, they would transfer the date to my computer and I would have to reinstall the programs and move the data into the programs. I told them I didn't know how to perform that task. Jed told me all I had to do was "drag and drop", and my computer would be ready Wednesday. I was called at 11:30 am Wednesday and told my computer was ready. I arrived at Computer Guyz at 1:30, the Tech show me the icon on the desk top with the "old data" and reassured me that all I had to do was "drag and drop" to restore the data in the program. He then charged me $123.00. I went home and spend the whole night trying to transfer the data and was unsuccessful. As a result, at 8:00 am Thursday morning I contacted Computer Guyz and informed them that I could not transfer the data. I was told to bring the computer back. I got the computer back to Computer Guyz at 10:30 Thursday. Consequently, the individuals at Computer Guyz realized that you could not transfer data into professional accounting program in that manner. I had to give them all of my pass codes and data keys to access my down load files to input the data. So I paid them the initial funds for nothing and ha to paid them an additional $123.00 and did not get my computer until Friday afternoon,

Response from The Computer Guyz
I'm sorry for your inconveniences, but we only charged you for the time needed to get your machine back in action. We did not charge you anything for the initial diagnostics that proved to be a bad power supply AND bad motherboard. Of course we tried to sell you a new computer, that's our hob. I also told you that I was totally fine with you buying an HH Gregg computer and more than happy to transfer your data to it. In regards to the application transfer, we both got a little twisted. I told you we could not transfer programs, but could move your data. I stated we could reinstall the programs then import your old data to those programs. When you brought the HH Gregg computer to us, you didn't provide the software, the license keys or any detail about these programs. I discussed all this info with you after you attempted to install it yourself. You brought it back to us and we had to learn the process of importing the data and implementing the license keys for 5 versions of software. We had to bill you otherwise sir or we are working for free. The initial fee was for your data recovery and migration to the new machine. The second fee was for learning, installing and configuring all your accounting software. We billed you for way less time than we actually spent on the computer and nothing for the initial dead PC. I'm sorry it took longer than anticipated and due to your profession I'm sorry you were down. We did everything as fast as we could, overnighted parts for you, I absorbed the costs of that and worked a very long night after hours to get the machine ready for you the next day.....all for $246.

I sent an e-mail via their website Tuesday evening May 28th telling them I was interested in their services. The next morning I received a callback from that e-mail. He seemed so earnest and appeared sincere about resolving my computer issues. He told me he had a technician that lived in Goose Creek and could he come to my home that evening. We agreed on a time from 5:30 until 6:00 PM. I anxiously awaited his arrival. Never came and never called to explain the "no show"..

The technician that dropped the ball on this assignment was reprimanded and we take full responsibility for missing an appointment and hope you accept our sincere apology. That technician no longer works for The Computer Guyz and there is ZERO tolerance for ignoring customer requests.

I was not happy that he charged me over $200 when the results I sought weren't obtained. He tried recovering data from my HD but he couldn't because the damage was extensive. Instead he transfer the data I had saved in an external HD to my laptop, which I could have done myself. I paid because I recognized that he came over to my house and spent time trying to fix the problem, but looking back, I shouldn't have paid the full invoice. He also recommended a new desktop for $900, which I'm glad I didn't purchase. All I had to do was replace the HD, re-install Vista and upgrade to 8 , which costed me $105 in all, and my PC is working. He is professional, knowledgeable, and I know he did all he could, but I like paying for the results, not for the time spent; therefore my ratings.

[member name removed]: the cup of french press coffee you made me was very much appreciated and wonderful. I went onsite to troubleshoot the issues that [member name removed] house. Her All-In-One PC had fallen off the desk and was damaged. It took nearly an hour to get inside the machine because of the All-In-One architecture of the device. I removed the drive attempted to recover her data onsite, then brought it back to my shop, ran several intensive data recovery passes on it but the drive was dead. I offered to have the drive sent off to a partner that specializes in data recovery (but is VERY expensive). I gave her the options and she decided to just buy another PC because her PC was over 4-5 years old. I did the research, found a suitable All-In-One machine, purchased it with her permission and scheduled to do the install/delivery. On my way to deliver the PC, she says: I changed my mind and don't want the PC. So I had to return the computer, pay the restocking fee, and pay the shipping to return it. I still went onsite to her house to do additional data recovery attempts from another USB hard drive that she used to backup her machine in the past. I was able to find some existing data and restored all that was available. Of course she could have done the work herself, but she hired and asked me to handle it. I would like to start using the vendor where I can get a replacement hard drive and the upgrade to Windows 8 for $105. That price is FANTASTIC! Invoice details: I billed her $79 for onsite troubleshooting that was well over 2 hours total. I billed her $125 for data recovery which included: onsite data recovery attempt, then taking the hard drive back to my shop and spending another 2 hours trying to restore data, acquiring a new PC for her, me paying the restocking fee, shipping and research to find a suitable machine to her liking. $204 for 2 trips to her house, a minimum of 5 hours spent working for her and the costs I ate for returning the machine is VERY fair.

I emailed for information because it was before business hours. I received a phone call promptly that morning. The gentleman was enthusiastic, professional and pleasant to work with. The techs will come to your home or you can drop off your computer at their shop. The shop was near my home so I dropped it off. (They are located in Mt Pleasant off Hwy 41 near 17) They diagnosed the problem and called me with my options the next day. I was very pleased with their mannerism, their professionalism, and their willingness to work with my schedule. I did not get estimates from anyone else so I cannot say if the price was competitive. I only know that when I have an issue with my computer, I want a professional doing the work. I was satisfied with the price I paid for the work performed. This isn't Staples or Office Depot. These guys have skin in the game and need to do the job right. I would use them again and I would recommend them to others.

I called for an appointment on Thursday and the technician scheduled the appointment for Friday. He was professional and got right to work on the computer. He explained what needed to be done to resolve the problems I was having and explained what he was doing and why as he worked. I learned a lot from him, as he was able to explain things in a way that I could understand and I really appreciated that.

NO complaints. They took about two hours to install my new computer, transfer files and install new programs.
Description of Work: This was the second time I have used Computer Guyz. I was very pleased with their performance both times. This time they installed a new computer and transferred all my files from the old computer. I also bought a new Microsoft Office program from them. This cost an extra $150. They came out and installed my new computer within an hour of being called. The service has always been outstanding.

The overall expericence could not have been better.
Description of Work: I called Jud and he was at my home within one hour. He was very professional and fixed both of my lapop computers well beyond my expectations. I called because I had somehow dounloaded a file that used up the remaining space on my hard drive. The two laptops were very slow before this incident. It turned out that the file I downloaded was from Yahoo Messenger and exceeded 35 GB. Jud eliminated that file from my computer and proceeded to eliminate many other unneeded files from both computers. He replaced the RAM cards on both computers. This gave additional space and made both computers run much faster. Both laptops even run cooler after his work. Both laptops now run much faster and I have no problems with either one. Jud also added 3 programs to make internet access faster and do checks and maintenance on both computers. I am 100% satisfied with his work and feel the price was more than fair. We did not discuss a price before he started work. He gave me my Angie's list discount of $25. The final price was $250.

I called to schedule an appointment, he was there within an hour, whipped everything into shape while answering my questions at the same time. I wanted to have an idea of how to do it in the future and he talked to me like a human being, NOT a techie-robot....which I really appreciated. They break the mold of the nerdy, anti-social tech guys. He documented everything, saved it on my laptop and made me a happy camper once again. I would never call anyone else to come into my house or business. They are AWESOME in every way. The price was pretty cheap in my eyes for all that he did. I thought it would have been way more expensive.
Description of Work: This is the second time I've used The Computer Guyz. The tech came out quickly, setup my new laptop, moved data from an older computer I had, setup my printers, connected me to the wireless, performed maintenance on my other machines and even helped me with some questions/issues I had on my Droid and my husbands iPhone. He seemed to know both like the back of his hand.

Response from The Computer Guyz
I took time to make sure she understood the setup and give her the advantages and disadvantages of both methods of connecting and the options available. I don't like to rush and wanted to make sure the setup was understood and the options were on the table. Since the onsite visit, I've helped her over the phone on 3 different occasions and traded emails at no charge. I don't think a 2 hour onsite visit, 3 phone calls and email correspondence are unreasonable at $160 compared to the competitive services available.

First off.....I know NOTHING about computers. The technician came to my house at my convenience, resolved my issues quickly and was such a pleasure to work with. He didn't try to talk over my head with techie talk and in plain terms explained the causes of my issues and how he was going to solve them....and the time frame it would take.I appreciated his professionalism, customer service and ability to exceed my expectations. I have referred him to 3 other people in my neighborhood and he PAID ME for the referrals!!!!! He was WELL WORTH the cost and more. I would NEVER call anyone else. I've had a question here and there since he worked on my computer on non-related issues and he quickly answered my questions in seconds. He amazed me with his knowledge and I would definitely recommend The Computer Guyz. Oh yeah....they donate 1% of all the money they make to help with breast cancer awareness. Most companies are all about making the money and running....NOT these "Guyz"!!!!!
Description of Work: He removed the viruses from my computer, installed new security software and made my computer as fast as it was when I bought it. I was debating buying a new one, but he revived it and saved me a bunch of money. He could have told me to buy a new one and I would have, but he helped me understand how I could add more memory (and I actually know what means now)and remove the junk that was slowing it down. He also did some maintenance to clean up the junk that had accumulated over the past few years and even showed me how to do it in the future with some free software.
