If I could give Computer-Helpers a higher rating than 5 stars I would. You will not find better service, anyone more friendly or more helpful than Dan. I am not a computer novice. I have worked with computers and worked on repairing computers since personal computers were first introduced. My problem was I was from out of town and I accidentally dropped my work laptop causing it to malfunction. I needed someone locally who could provide the knowledge and expertise to help me get back up and running or transfer the data from my hard drive to a new laptop. I sent an email to Dan late in the evening explaining my emergency and requesting he call me to see what he could do. He did call me back and offered for me to bring the laptop to his shop in the morning. I did. Dan diagnosed the problem and determined the laptop was unrepairable. He then retrieved the hard drive and together we troubleshot the hard drive until we were able to get access to the data and start the transfer of data to a new laptop I purchased directly from Dan. This process took several hours during which we talked and got to know one another. I was impressed by his knowledge and experience repairing computers and his willingness to sit and work with me through this laptop disaster. I could not have found a better person to help me out. I believe he was likely the only place and person in the area that could have helped me out. I am so glad I found Dan and consider him not just a computer repairman, but a new found friend. Thank you Dan for your outstanding service and help and friendship.

Extraordinary. Along with repairs I always receive advise explained in a manner that a non computer person (such as myself) could understand. If and when I did want a new computer I could rely fully on all the functions and fully loaded programs to run immediately. If ever I had a question, I knew that computer helpers would e-mail (or text) a response in short order and I could resolve any difficulty I could encounter. I would highly recommend computer helpers to anyone desiring the need and assistance of a professional and efficient expert in this field!

Computer Helpers have been both very professional and punctual in all my dealings with them, at a very fair price. In addition, I've always left their office having learned something new, for which I'm very grateful.

Great. Two computers were replaced with new equipment/software from Computer Helpers. Third laptop was infected with virus and they wiped it and reloaded all Software. They have also repaired some of our hardware on PC's We have been using Computer Helpers for at least 6 years. They are our preferred Computer specialists. We have also purchased an Apple laptop with all software, large Dell monitor, laptop speakers, lighted keyboard. We attended most of the computer classes that were held. This training was great and covered various subjects including basic computer technology, security, new operating systems, etc. it was priced around $25 per class which was an excellent value. The classes provided current information, advice that was reliable, and the opportunity to hear what was expected in technology development. Dan Jones and his team at Computer Helpers are an asset to us. The cost of service listed on this review was our most recent when our PC was hit with ransomware and was replaced.

The repairs were made and the price was very fair. I have been impressed with the service and the quality of work. I have purchased several computers from Computer Helpers and have been very satisfied. Once they saved me approximately $800 over the Apple store estimate for repair. I find them to be very trustworthy. If the repair is taking longer than normal, They will send me an email update to keep me informed. I would not take my computer to anyone else. I look forward to their training classes and always come away better informed particularly when it concerns computer security and windows 10.
Description of Work: I needed a computer repaired and I also purchased a used one as a back up for the future.

Excellent, have had software upgraded, repaired, installed, and also purchases new hardware from him, also have attended some of his classes, they are well worth the money! His location at his home business in Oak Ridge is easy to find and very convenient, I never could have purchased the computer system I got from him at the same price from anyone else, and I know he stands behind his work and products!
Description of Work: I started using Computer Helpers about 5 years ago, had used several other computer service people, some came to my home/business, others I had to take my computer there (Knoxville) which meant my business couldn't operate. Dan, the owner, was very prompt, showed up on time, went right to work in diagnosing and repairing the software issues

It went great. Computer had several issues and it hasn't feasible to repair. I has able to purchase a new computer from Dan for a good deal and he brought it to my house and sat it up and it works great. He was able to save the 2nd 1 TB hard drive in my old computer and install it as a 2nd hard drive in my new computer. My printer cable wasn't long enough and he went back to his shop and got one that would fit and brought it back the same day. He installed Malware software also on the new computer. I can't believe how much faster that the new computer is. Dan answered all my questions and had me up and running in just a few days from start to finish. I recommend very highly. I have also attended some of his computer training classes as well.
Description of Work: My computer's hard drive has maxed out and I wanted computer to upgrade to Windows 10. Took computer to him on Tuesday afternoon and he called back a few hours later letting me know the problem with the computer.

Repair service was outstanding! Computer is working just fine. Had my computer back in my hands the following day. :-D Any firmware, software, virus protections are all up to date, and cost me less than $100! No one provides this level of service. :-D
Description of Work: Been utilizing Dan Jones the Computer Helpers for 16+ years! I've attended his excellent classes which are well organized, informative, and user friendly. I purchase all my computers and accessories from Computer Helpers. They guarantee their products, and always go the extra mile to ensure you are happy and satisfied with your purchase. Dan also makes sure you're provided with the computer equipment that works best for you, or whomever you're purchasing from. If you have any questions, he is more than happy to share his expert knowledge and/or opinion regarding hardware, software, etc. Computer helpers will examine, troubleshoot, and perform necessary repairs and not "pad" any work to over-charge for services rendered. I took my Dell Desktop in, which I purchased from them a year ago for a CPU FAN FAILURE message. Turns out, no CPU FAN needed, only required cleaning. You can't go wrong with Computer Helpers

All my dealings with Dan have been very satisfying - he is always willing to answer your questions. He does offer computer help in your home if needed - simply call and schedule
Description of Work: I needed a new laptop computer. Dan had a good selection of them and quite reasonably priced. They are barely used and completely "cleaned" of old files and new up-to-date software installed. I have attended several of his classes and learned a lot about the then new Windows 10 and computer security.

I was having problems with shutdowns and blue screen errors. Dan checked the system and found many conflicts with the programs I had on my computer. He suggested that the best solution was to reinstall windows 10 and start with a clean computer. The reinstallation was performed on time and at a reasonable cost. I've been pleased with the results and have had no problems since (three months).

We have always been pleased with the services provided by Computer Helpers. Their team is very knowledgeable and offer the best value for the price. They have built a couple laptops for my family and for both my son and daughter as they were going to college. They provide excellent service after the sale. They were even able to recover pictures and important data files when our computer crashed.

Dan was very responsive and helpful. He helped get the computer running for the time being (but it continued to crash). After many months of frustration and disappointment, I returned it to the store and bought a different brand.
Description of Work: I was having many, many problems with a brand new computer so I went to Computer Helpers to see if they could diagnose the issues. I was disillusioned with the tech support I got from the place I bought the computer as well as the manufacturer. I didn't know where else to turn.

I have been MOST pleased with the long relationship that I have had with Computer Helpers and Dan Jones of Oak Ridge. Absolutely excellent!!! I have bought 3 lap tops, a CPU and monitor from them. All have performed extremely well. In addition, I have had other units repaired. In some cases, I have just called them for advise. All was handled well, prices were most fair (if appropriate) and with loads of professionalism, excellence and insight. Harold Denton
