Fixed a corrupted flashdrive for me. Was quick and friendly and saved valuable company spreadsheets. Thank you so much!

Apple sent me back an old laptop that they couldn't do anything with and Eric got it working and updated with ease. He is a pleasure to work with and I already have more computer projects lined up for him to tackle. So happy to have his talent and service in my neighborhood.

Travis was FANTASTIC! Honest, courteous, straightforward, helpful, and didn't make me feel like I was lost when it comes to tech (although I am!). I called, he told me to come by, he had my computer in hand within 30min and I picked it up the next day! Simple large data transfer but I had some items that I had to ensure were not lost or corrupted. He handled the job like the professional that he is.

Called Travis on a Sunday, last minute, didn't think I'll get anyone that fast, had to have my computer installed before Monday for my new job, it was a complicated deal, tons of different elements to it, he responded right away offer to come to my place within 45min, spent about an hour, was knowledgeable, super fast, very friendly, I will recommend him in a heart beat! Thank you TRAVIS!

Travis was super responsive, extremely fast, and had everything back to me working one less than 5 hours. He definitely had a busy day as he fit me in between 3 other projects he was working on and had someone right after me pick up their work as well. I had a computer that broke on a work trip and the company I brought it to for the data recovery missed pulling the only thing I really needed off of it.

I explained what I needed to find and Travis had the data pilled off of the old computer and transferred to the new one AND he had the old computer working - all within 5 hours! The guys in Vegas said it was going to take 5 days to get the old computer working. If you are looking for computer repair or any IT work, Travis is your man!

Travis was very knowledgeable and gave me the down low on exactly what was going on with my MacBook Pro and the options I had are going about fixing it. Very transparent and customer experience focused. I'll definitely hit him up next time I need help with my electronics.

Travis was very helpful over the phone and upfront and honest with his price quote. He also was willing to wait for me at the store before he had to leave for another appointment. Very accommodating.
