Nick Covey was my colleague at the Division of Medical Assistance. He was known in the division as the "go to" guy for any problem regarding computers and wireless devices such as Blackberries. He was so helpful to me at work and I was so impressed by his knowledge that I asked if he would be willing to work on my home Dell computer. He did excellent work for me, upgrading the memory and downloading free antivirus, anti-malware, firewall and defrag software for me and writing instructions on how to use them. When I bought a Mac, he set it up and transferred all the data from the Dell to the Mac, then he recycled the Dell. In addition, when I bought a new printer he connected it and configured it properly. Nick is always on time for appointments. He is very dependable and easy to work with, especially for those of us who don't have a great deal of confidence in our computer expertise. He is a great teacher when it comes to all things regarding computers and wireless devices. His fees are very reasonable, and you can be sure you will get excellent value for your money. There is simply no service that matches his. I highly recommend the Computer repair, Computer Services and Wireless Networks offered by Covey Computer Services. Once Nick has worked on your computer, you'll never want anyone else to touch it!

After reading positive testimonials about Covey Computer Services I called and Nick came to my home that same evening. I had recently changed from Time Warner to AT&T and was having trouble connecting to the internet. Also my wireless had not worked properly since the change over. He promptly fixed those problems. He then upgraded my security (and saved me $75 a year on Norton which I have now canceled) and he cleaned up and moved files causing my computer to run much faster. He clearly explained what he was doing and gave instruction on how to better maintain my equipment. And to make it even better, his rate was very affordable. I am sure I will be a repeat customer.

Nick Covey of Covey Computer Services has helped me with all my personal home computer and business computer needs for the past thirteen years. I have not experienced delays in getting assistance when Ive really needed it. He has resolved problems by either making on site visits or logging on remotely to my computer to resolve issues. It would have been impossible for me to function without his intervention when I needed computer repairs involving the removal of viruses. Hes professional and knows the latest trends in the field, helping clients not only to maintain their equipment but to make wise purchases of hardware as well as software. Nick has been invaluable in the purchase and maintenance of our computers, laptops and software. Hes a good educator in helping clients to understand how to maximize the function of their equipment. I would highly recommend him to anyone who needs computer assistance.

From the start, Mr. Covey's professional ad allowed us to feel secure in having someone come to our home to help remediate our computer problems. We had tried many things to figure out why we were losing wireless connections but to no avail. Mr. Covey worked diligently through many hours trying to access our wireless, giving us many options and advising us on the best products to use to gain the most secure and fast access. He was well informed about a variety of options and even supplied us with discounted products on the spot! We were extremely pleased with the outcome and would recommend Mr.Covey to any one experiencing trouble. With the knowledge of a free antivirus program which he installed on all of our computers, we now feel secure in using our computers.

Nick was extremely generous with his time and knowledge in giving us pre-purchase computer advice, which saved us an enormous amount of time and trouble in purchasing a computer and printer. When Nick installed our new computer system and wireless network, we continued to be impressed by his knowledge and professional manner. He was prompt and never complained when he had to return a second day because of the internet provider's system communication problem. We were especially impressed with Nick's eagerness to explain in detail to us all the processes we will need to use. We highly recommend Nick's services and even more highly recommend that you contact him before purchasing any new computer and network equipment that you plan to have him install. We think his pricing was fair and reasonable.
