Overall the work went well and I would not hesitate to use Appstar again in the future. Chris has called back to check on how the computer is working and to offer suggestions for any future problems I might have.
Description of Work: I originally asked Chris Lindley to add some memory to my computer. After checking it out he offered me a rebuilt computer that he had in his shop. This was accomplished the next day. After hooking everything up and transfering my files I am well pleased with what I now have. Time will tell if this was a wise decision on my part, but right now it looks like I made the right decision.

On his suggestion, Chris suggested he take the cameras with him overnight, so he could be sure to have the right size drill bits, etc. great idea. We had some trouble with the DVR but he patiently waited for me to contact the supplier and get that straightened out.
Description of Work: It was not necessarily his area, but I asked him to run a second cable in my house to connect a TV and to run some cable for security cameras. Chris did great: always professional and always friendly. He was very responsive to some snafus that developed with the security cameras.

Overall the process was smooth, timely, and as expected. Called in the morning and they mentioned they could be out between 2 and 4 in the afternoon. They were about 20 minutes late but nothing to complain about as the tech called at 4:00 to say he was on his way. Replaced the power supply, re-connected all the cables, and put the computer back in it place after testing everything work as expected.
Description of Work: Replaced a power supply that went out on my desktop and then re-connected everything and put the computer back in its place.

Chris did a great job. He's very friendly and professional. I was very pleased with him and his work. I would definitely use him again and will recommend him to my friends.
Description of Work: I purchased a coupon that was $59 for 1 1/2 hours service. I had initially gotten it to use for tuning up my mother's computer, but then realized her computer was really too old and she just needed to get a new one. I purchased the new tower and had Chris set it up and transfer everything from the old one to the new one.

The PC tuneup was completed in a very short time and Chris even made some changes to my PC that I asked for. I have since called him on some issues and he was very responsive. He is a professional with a very positive manner. If you need any work done on your PC I would strongly recommend you have Chris and Appstar Technologies take care of your problem.

He showed up on time and worked very quickly. I will call him again when ever I need service.
Description of Work: Chris is a very knowledgeable and professional person. I was having network printer problems. It seems McAfee sent out and update that caused the problem. I got an email from McAfee after having Chris out to solve the problem in two visits. He discovered that McAfee was the problem and removed it from my computer. Thank you, Chris! Nancy

Truly professional and very timely. Did a great job and my computer couldn't be better.
Description of Work: He came and cleaned up my computer for the coupon price, but then recommended upgrading my computer as he said all the programs I am running in my business could use a faster and larger memory. He saved all my programs so I didn't have to reload them as well as my documents. Then took my system with him and brought in back in a couple of days. It is incredibly faster and the programs don't get hung up like they used to. I will use him again and have already recommended him to other people.

Computer became totally non functioning within just seconds. it wasn't a virus, it was a plague! Called Chris on a Sunday. We had just returned from vacation on Saturday, so I was already behind. I was trying to get a jump start on work before the new week. He came over that same Sunday afternoon, said it was serious enough to need several hours of diagnostic scanning and testing. He confidently said that if he had an answewr he would call me later that evening. He called and said he found about 11 viruses. By the way, I run Norton Antivirus every day and update the "live update" each time. By Monday evening he had it all working again. A day later I noticed that my backup hard drie was not working with the computer. That was fixed the same day. No extra charge. If I had gone to the storefront computer repair shop I have used for years, I probably still would not have my computer back. Chris and Appstar Tech is my new computer guy.
Description of Work: After downloading a free reader for a Microsoft Publisher attacment, my computer rebooted and the mouse would not open anything on my desktop. My printer icon was gone, too. it was as if the computer would not complete a reboot.

Purchased service, they call the next day to set up appointment. He called when he was on his way and arrived on time. We talked in detail about what i was wanting and he took both computers and returned with work completed. Could not have asked for better service.

Christopher was right on time, friendly and easy to talk to, and went right to work. He ran a defrag and added an icon to my desktop to make it easier to run in the future. He determined that we had room to add memory and he went out to buy more memory while the defrag was running. He installed the additional memory and had me check to see if things were indeed running faster. He took the time to answer some questions and educate me a little on how to keep the laptop running better and lasting as long as possible. I felt like he was knowledgeable and I would contact him with future issues. I was very pleased with the service I received.
Description of Work: I purchased an Angie's List deal for Appstar to have our laptop checked out. There wasn't any specific issue, it was just starting to slow down and I was concerned we might need a new one. I thought before we went that far, I would try getting it a tune up.

sent an email to sent up an appoint for my laptop to be look at and have the error that were popping up fixed with the coupon that I purchased as one of Angie's Big List Coupon for $59 for 2 hours of service. It took a while to receive a response but after working with Chris I can see now why it took a while for a response. He is WONDERFUL and he was more than likely swamped with work. He comes to your house to work on your computer and works around your schedule which is a blessing for me. He was not able to complete the analysis quickly at my home so he asked if he could take my computer with him so he could work on it and he would contact me once he was able to figure out what was wrong with it. He did exactly what he said he was going to do. Once he contacted me it comes to find out it took him over 9 hours of workin on my computer and charged my just a litle more than what the coupon was and to me that was a bargain considering the time he put in on working on my computer. We scheduled a time for him to come and drop off the computer which was a Saturday morning which was awesome. He even called a few days later to follow up and see if there were any other errors coming up and over the phone he took care of the minor issue I was experiencing and did not charge any extra. He even offered to help me set up me new router when I was ready and just give him a call and he would walk me through it. I would highly recommend Chris and his expertise in working with computers. He is more than professional in what he does and he knows what he is doing. He does not nickel and dime you like most copanies out there these days. If I ever have computer issues again or know someone who needs help I will not hesitate in referring him and his company.Thanks Chris for everything!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Description of Work: My computer was running slow and was getting error messages when I would start up my computer. In addtion I would be kicked out of Windows and the Internet after an error message would appear and it was getting very frustrating expecially since it was not happening on specific website or specific times.

purchased an angie's list local deal for 2 hr service for $59.00. Called and set up an appt with Chris. The day of the appt Chris called to say he would be late but did later arrived at time he promised. He immediately went to work on my 4 yr old laptop by conducting an assessment. He added memory ($85.00) and cleaned up unused programs to increase the computer speed. he also re-installed a program i was having trouble with. Chris installed a roku wi fi device on my television. I was very satisfied with his service and professionalism.

I had a groupon for the work. The graphic card was out and I could have replaced it myself. I was looking for a more complete diagnoses and to make recommendations for repairs. At least he replaced the graphics card which was fine. He replaced it with a better quality graphics card which was good. He came back and said the ram card was out. Now it wasn't out before I sent the computer to be fixed so I don't know how it got damaged. He offered to replace it but I said thats ok. I need my computer back I'll take it. I went out and bought a ram card and replaced it. I though that was a bit funny. He could have called me and I would have told him to replace it. It was not until he brought the computer back to my house that he told me about it. It was not a bad service just not what I expected. It is probably not the guys that I would hire the next time.

Response from Appstar Technologies
I was called to assess and repair a PC that was not functioning and the customer did not know why, just that is was broken. The PC was taken back to the shop and it was discovered that the video card and 1 RAM chip were bad. After consulting with the client on hardware costs the video card was replaced. The PC had more memory installed than was actually necessary so upon return of the PC to the customer he was given the option to have more memory installed (since we do carry memory in the truck) and the offer was refused. I did not do much to encourage repeat business with this gentlemen as he mentions. Actually I almost refunded the coupon price to him before starting the work and refused service but I chose to help him in the end. The working conditions in the home were horrific. There were small corridors in between stuff that had been piled from floor to ceiling in every room and hallway. The sight of feces and urine throughout the house and the repugnant stench that hung thick in the air were over whelming. I was concerned for my health and felt that to be in there I should have been wearing a respirator. I would most definitely have refused service if I was every asked again anyway. I did however remain professional, did what the customer asked, corrected his problems with the PC and provided him with far more value than he paid for ($59.00) as I always do. Please read my other reviews to find out what my service is like and try not to judge me to harshly on this one. I’m pretty sure that most of you would not even have walked in the home to start with.
