About
My clients always arrive at my door with issues needing to be resolved. They leave as friends who received great service for a very affordable price. Usually also leaving with more knowledge about their products and the services that are available to them in the future that allow them to be more successful in their endeavors. My absolute favorite part of my job is the opportunity I get to help people and businesses become more successful or just stress free. Technology is quite literally the key that opens many doors in life today. I love being the guy who gets to lead people into a whole new world of understanding. Finding which software, devices, and methodology works best for their given situation. I've made a living helping people in the best way I know how. What more can you really ask for.

John did an AWESOME job! My computer kept freezing up and had non-stop pop-ups. He was able to fix it the SAME day!!! He always answered his calls or returned them promptly. Same with email. When I picked it up, he took the time to explain what to do and not to do. I would highly recommend him.

John did a great job with transferring my data from my old computer to my new one. No problems at all, and hopefully I'll be able to work with him in the future with any of my computer problems.

John was wonderful. My computer was running terribly slow and had a lot of responsiveness issues. John got it running smoothly again, explained everything and took the additional time to help me find and install the proper protection for my laptop (and showed me how to use it). Great price, and he clearly cares about what he does.

John was very professional. Since he was a fellow online gamer, he understood my problem and help solve my problem. With my laptop over heating when I was gaming, he took the time to get it to over heat when it was not gaming to eliminate possible issues. He is very knowledgeable about computers. During this time, he found 17 viruses on my laptop that Nortons did not find. While this did not directly relate to the overheating issue, it did cause the laptop to work hard than it need to. Not only did he take the time to answer my questions, he made sure I understood the answers. He was very willing to share his knowledge with me. He recommend a better virus protection package and internet browser for me to use. I would recommend him to my family and friends. Also, I will call him with all my computer repairs and needs in the future. Thank you again, John for your work on my computer and the knowledge I gained from you.

I needed my computer fixed fast. Within a day of my quotes request, John took the initiative to call me and schedule a time I could bring my computer by for him to assess the problems I were experiencing. John charged me a very low rate. After the diagnosis, it was determined I need a new computer. John took the time to quickly check local vendors' websites to see if they had computers available that came with the basic software I needed and within a reasonable price range. I went and purchased a computer and came back to John to get it up and going. John did not charge me extra for the time he setup my new computer, nor did he charge me extra for the time I traveled to and from the retailer to acquire my new computer. John only charged me the low diagnostic fee which was more than reasonable. I did not feel at any time that John was trying to con me into buying or paying for any computer parts or work I didn't need. After the job was done, I had somes issue popped up and John was gracious enough to respond to my technical inquiries without charging me for his technical expertise feedback. I felt John really cared about me getting my issues resolved and helping me to save money. John was very professional and honest when working with me.

FAQs

  • How did you get started doing this type of work?

    Back in the day, I realized that most IT companies were operating with a certain principle in mind. "how much can we charge the client to keep them in the dark?" That to me seemed pretty insulting and dishonest to potential clients. I started my company to not only fix technical problems but also provide education to the consumers. I want people to walk away knowing they not only got great service but the knowledge that I was able to share. I want to create smarter consumers that expect more out of the services that are made available to them. Learn to ask the right questions and get the most for your money.

  • What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a provider in your area of work?

    When looking for a qualified Computer repair specialist, always look at their experience. How long have they been doing these types of jobs that apply to your particular problems. How interested are they in helping you as a person? Professionals who care more about their bottom line and less about the positive impact they are able to bestow on others is always a concern. Are they taking the time to consider your time is just as valuable as theirs?
