Peter is an exceptional IT person who has that rare ability to be patient and educate, to be funny…read moreand efficient, honest and forthright. Peter was able to come over with very short notice when I was available, my old one died my new one arrived and I had to go out of town. I asked what he suggested, advising I wanted to transfer what was on the broken one over. Rather than come to see the broken one and then come back he said it would be better value to be there when all arrived, if that was acceptable. He arrived on time and prepared after a brief exchange of what my concerns were. He reviewed my systems and gave some suggestions, explained some new tech things I wasn't aware of was very generous about is time and his expertise. His rates are extremely reasonable, if you don't think so shop around you will see. Peter didn't try to sell me anything or talk over my head, he was clear, kind and extremely knowledgeable. Peter is not out to bilk you he is out to take care of you as an ongoing customer. I can tell you that I have a few pc's and gadgets and I will from know on use Peter exclusively for our home. I suggest that if you have any issues give him a call. He will come to you and let you know what can be done and even surpass what you expected. I needed to transfer a lap tops info that had died to a new one, he not only was able to do that but figured out that my old lap top was in deed fixable, he gave me two laptops for the price of time I expected only one it. Cheers Peter you are awesome!

The guy is worth what he charges and then some. Here is an update: Peter is a very cordial guy but you have to be very careful because he charges by the minute for casual converation that he considers "educatIon". If you retain him, lay out EXACTLY what you want and have him do just that. I regret saying he is worth what he charged. My mistake.

When my laptop decided to go poof on me, I looked up options and NCC was closest- I admit that was…read morewhy they were my first choice- the location listed on google isn't accurate, but they were near enough and had good reviews. I'm glad the internet got it right this time! Robert was so informative and helpful about what was wrong with my computer, (he kinda chided me about how I could have avoided my issue haha, it was great) and after doing everything he could to save everything he could, he got it back up and running and gave me good lessons on how to keep it going in the future. He has a loyal customer now!

My frustration of having a very expensive PC came down to bringing it to a computer shop to get it fixed. The price was very reasonable, and the guy there was able to diagnose and fix everything all within a day. He got my computer working perfectly after a couple days of bashing my head into the wall trying to get the Windows OS up and running. Don't expect a big PC supermarket though. These guys are a local PC repair shop and it definitely shows. Their knowledge of their craft definitely helped me and they're worth a shot if you have computer problems.

Bryan was amazing and really helped us with our IT issues. Our laptop would not even turn on, the…read moredrive completely dead. We had to purchase a new one and he managed to move the most important program and data from the old one to the new one. It saved us weeks of recreating a years worth of business information. He has prompt communication and was able to explain everything in terms we actually understood. He also gave recommendations for new protections and programs. I will definitely be using his services again (not too soon hopefully) and will recommend him to anyone searching for his services.

There just isn't anybody on the planet like Mark--he's the real deal when it comes to knowing all…read morethe technical aspects of his profession, and he has the biggest heart for people he serves. He's kind, patient, friendly/fun to deal with--and his generosity outdoes anyone I've ever met in the business world, and personally. He and I have had a great relationship for a long time--I first came to him with a 2nd-hand computer and Zero knowledge about what to do with it. It had viruses and all manner of issues--which doesn't begin to detail my own issues (I was always a wreck, panic-city...and Mark just dealt with it all calmly, and got me and the computer back on the road again repeatedly). Now that I'm past 70, lots of stuff unrelated to computer and Internet, are a challenge for me. So when my laptop (replaced the computer) wasn't acting "right" recently, I needed his help. I called and asked if he knew anyone who made house calls, since I could no longer get to his shop. He said, "I do"--oh my gosh, a gift from Heaven! It was fun having him in my home. He explained how replacing the old drive with a solid state one would see me through the rest of my blogging days, and I said, "do it". He took the laptop to his shop, performed the surgery, brought it back to me...and charged me what he knew I could afford. So I'll be forever indebted to him...but wait there's more. I told him there was a British 4-episode series I was enamored with, and couldn't get the DVD because the Region wouldn't work for me. He told me could put it on a flash drive...I had 3 of them and prayed he could fit all 4 episodes among them. Now here's what sets Mark apart from the rest of the herd--he said he would do it in trade for a pan of my lasagna! And today when he came back to give me a brief tutorial, he said he'd purchased a bigger flash drive to put the series on. I would have bought one myself, but didn't have Clue One what to get. So I reimbursed him for that, and next up will be the lasagna! He's just the best friend an old gal who's an English Major--NOT tech-savvy--can have. He really cares--his business and personal ethics are above and beyond many folks'. If you need help, go straight to Mark--don't waste time "researching" the best--HE IS THE BEST. Thanks Mark, God bless you abundantly.

He can fix things over the phone, and you can pay on his website. He has picked my computer up and returned it to me on the same day. His prices are fair and decent. His knowledge is excellent. I used to bring my computer to Staples, where they made it worse, sold me bad protection products that slowed my computer down to a snails pace. (Neal can tell you all the great FREE services to use that are equal to the spending Norton versions!). Then Staples would end up selling me a new computer because they would say mine was dead. Neal fixes my problems faster and for less than Staples. I am so blessed to have finally found a tech guy who I can trust to take care of my computer problems and who is wonderful!!

It wasn't difficult to find however, because there was a sign in front for CareTech and the building itself had signs with all the store names as well. I went around 5:00pm on Saturday and it was easy to find street parking although I'm not quite sure about the other days. It looks like they may have a back parking area as well. I messaged CareTech beforehand, asking if they can fix my broken laptop and they were really quick to respond! I accidentally spilled water over it back in August and fried my MacBook Pro. It seems my Logic Board is damaged and most likely my keyboard too (it's difficult to tell if the keyboard is damaged or not unless it's turned on but that's where I spilled water so... it's most likely done for). It seems like it really depends on the model to accurately quote replacement parts and sadly, Apple parts are crazy expensive. I got price quotes from several different places so I'm certain they're not overpricing me. Also, after talking to them, I don't think they're the types of people that would! For my case, data retrieval would have been $70/hour which is cheaper than most places I inquired! It seems it really depends on if/how much the hard drive was damaged and how hard it is to retrieve the data (internally). When I walked in, Charlie greeted me very warmly and he even remembered my name and situation from messaging me! There was one other person there at the time and they were both really friendly and helped me open up the laptop and take out my SSD. They talked me through different options and it seemed like they were genuinely interested in helping me diagnose the problem more than just making quick cash. Overall, from what I found, this place had really great pricing and awesome service. :)
