I have been using this service for that past two years and I find it very helpful. It's especially nice when you can call and have the computer fixed in the same day. Mostly everyone I have spoke with regards to fixing my computer have been very polite. I would recommend them to my close family and friends.

Nilesh Sawant was extremely helpful in restoring my internet service and the speed of my computer. He was professional and courtesy at all times which was outstanding as I am not a computer savvy person.

Excellent service

Excellent service. I had some serious problems with my operating system preventing me from downloading Autocad. Issues solved. It must have taken a while to work out the problems, but the technicians kept at it and were always polite and helpful, all four of them! I recomend these guys to everyone.
