I am not sure if the hour was realistic for my expectations. The experience was just okay.

The service was fine. I was mildly surprised that he brought his daughter to the job. However, the quality of the work was fine and I was pleased the service.

Mark answered our call immediately and set up appointment for us to fit our schedule. The morning of the appointment he called to confirm time, He arrived right on time. He spent about an hour with us and completed all we had listed as issues. He was very pleasant, listened well, explained what he was finding, what he was doing, and what he was recommending. He was offering a discount coupon on his website which he provided us for this job. It was a great value. He is going to be our PC Guy from now on!
Description of Work: My wife was experiencing some annoying glitches with her desktop. Mark came out and checked out the system and made some adjustments and recommendations. Although we thought we had automatic backup for her files, turns out we did not. He pointed that out to us. He also explained some technical topics in a very understandable way

I had recently updated my operating system to Windows 7- and since my computer is a few years old, I thought it might be a good idea to have someone check it out just to make sure that everything was working correctly. I found PC Guy on Angie's List, and purchased a coupon for 1 hour of diagnostic service & repair for $54.00. Mark definitely knows how to give good customer service. I purchased the coupon Monday afternoon, and he called me Tuesday morning to set up the appointment! Mark showed up right on time and immediately went to work on my computer. He cleaned up a lot of files that I wasn't using and then optimized the whole system so my computer will run even faster. Before he left, he was kind enough to leave 2 of his business cards - 1 for me, and 1 to give away. It always surprises me that more businesses don't do this. I wouldn't hesitate to give someone that extra card.

I called him and left a message for him to fix my computer. He called me back in 5 minutes and was out to fix my computer the next day which was a Saturday. He told me that he would arrive at 9am and sure enough he was here just a few minutes after. I never had someone that responsive or that helpful come out and fix my computer before. We had a thunder and lightening storm the night before causing all the lights to go out. Three hours later when I went to restart the computer nothing happened. I had the computer plugged into a power strip that was affected by the storm and he plugged the computer straight into the wall to get it working again. I did think that it was the monitor that had gone out, so I went out and bought a new monitor, but I mentioned that I got his name from Angie's List and got a $20 discount which was very helpful.

I called Mark at 9:00 in the morning and told him I was having computer problems and needed help. He said he would call back shortly after he had finished the job he was on. He called back in about 15 minutes. I explaind the problem and he said he could come to my house in about a half hour and diagnose the problem. He arrived on time and spent an hour diagnosing and repairing my computer. It was a matter of cleaning old and unused programs and updating systems. The computer runs much better and the Internet Explorer problem is gone. The charge was a reasonable $60. I will call Mark if I have any more problems.

I called Mark and left a message on his cellphone. He returned the call later in the day and tried to walk me through a process that would help me reset my password. I didn't feel confident in my ability to do this, so he was kind enough to come to my home and work through the processes for me. He came first thing the next day and would have come that evening if I had wanted him to. He arrived on time, was neat and courteous. He got my password reset and then helped me with some other issues I was having on getting my system setup the way I wanted it. He was very proficient at his work and was able to give my computer a once over to check for anything that shouldn't be there. I was very happy with the service I received and would highly recommend the PC Guy to anyone who has computer problems.
Description of Work: I got locked out of my User Account and needed help to get my password reset. Mark bought and downloaded a program on a CD and brought it to my house. He ran the program that allowed me to reset my password. He also cleaned up my system for me while he was here and ran a defragmentation.

I work as a graphic artist for a printing company; when I came to work, I discovered my PC Server was down. Even though we tried many different things, the PC would not work. This put us in a real jam as we have deadlines we have to meet for our customers, and I was unable to do any work. We called a service that we had used in the past, but they were no longer in business; we called several other contacts, but were unable to locate someone to help us. I decided to look on Angie's List and found Mark's name. I called and told him the situation; he walked me through a short diagnostic over the phone. He told me he was almost certain that he knew what the problem was and agreed to work us in his schedule. Mark told me he would call me when he was on his way to our shop, and he followed through. He arrived on time with the part and was able to have our Server up and running quickly. We really appreciated him accommodating us on such a short notice. We will use Mark in the future.
Description of Work: Power supply installed into our PC Server for one that went bad. Work was done quickly and at a fair price.

Called PC Guy and Mark said bring it in. Called me back the same day to confirm it was the power supply and told me he tried the local "Dell authorized service center" for the part. They were out of stock for that part, and it was a unique part that wasn't available generically, only through Dell. He ordered the part online from Dell and found it was out of stock there as well. I was able to retrieve my hard drive from him quickly to gather some needed files while we awaited the part. When it arrived (5 days later) he assembled, tested, cleaned up some temporary files and returned it to me. He installed the additional memory I requested for the cost of the chips only. The cost (with Angie's list discount) was exactly the quoted amount.
Description of Work: Power supply burned out on my older Dell Dimension 310. Required new Dell part. Asked for additional memory to be installed when repaired.

Mark arrived on time on Monday and disconnected our existing desk top. While doing that he discovered that our computer did not have a program to create cd's to transfer the files, and he didn't have the equipment he needed with him. He had to purchase some items ($100 worth) and returned the next day to install them and complete the transfer of our files. He decided it would be best to charge us a flat rate for the project vs. an hourly rate. He felt this would be a better value for us.
Description of Work: Mark unhooked our old computer and installed our new desk top computer, created cd's with all of our files and reinstalled them on our new computer. Our old desk top did not have a cd burner program so he had to take our hard drive with him to transfer the documents onto cd's.

Overall, it went fine. My only negative comment was Mark was over an hour late. He did apologize for this. The computer continues to work well and my wife is much happier than she's been with service we'd received previously from another computer guy.
Description of Work: Mark came out to do a standard one hour servicing on my wife's laptop, which had been running very slowly. He improved the speed significantly and it has not slowed down since. He also upgraded a few software packages that were giving my wife problems.

Response from Pc Guy
I was unfortunately held up by my previous client. While I do strive for being on time, I do not like to hurry out of a clients house. I feel it is rude. Again I am sorry for being late.

We set an appointment for Sunday, but Marc called back to say that he could come a day earlier, which he did. He called along the way to verify his arrival time (we're in the mountains), and addressed all the problems efficiently.
Description of Work: Marc cleared some problems that were slowing down my computer, patiently explained options that I had not known about, and addressed all my questions courteously and professionally.

I got a new computer this summer and when I would try to email articles found on the internet or contact someone on craigslist I got a pop-up to use Outlook. I don't have Outlook and there was no way to enable it or get around it. The guy who built my computer couldn't figure it out (and he BUILT my computer) but Mark came out and fixed my problem. He tried to talk me through it (for free) on the phone which I thought was very nice of him but I am not very computer literate so I decided to have him come out which he did right away. He didn't mention anything though about a senior discount or any discount which would have been nice since I see he does offer one. Maybe he was afraid he would insult me if I weren't over 65 (I'm 66 and should know by now to automatically ask). I definitely will call him again if I need computer assistance.

I called Mark telling him I couldn't get my e-mail with the used laptop I had bought and had installed myself. He tried helping me over the phone for about 20 minutes. I am not technically savvy, so I dropped it off at his home on Monday. He had it done for me to pick up on Tuesday, just in time for my road trip when I needed it.
Description of Work: I recently bought a used laptop and it needed work. Mark downloaded "Windows Service Pack 2", Service Pack 3, Norton security, Acrobat, a complete virus scan, and two more web browsers.

No problems on our end; several on his. The PC has returned to its mild-mannered self. He's a kind man who cares about the quality of his work and satisfaction of his clients. Never mind two of his family dogs that don't know how to bark in their inside voice. I also failed to mention the senior discount. My fault.
Description of Work: Our Dell Dimension 9100's power supply unit inexplicably failed. Mark replaced it in one day and -- oh, by the way -- did a series of PC maintenance steps that were long overdue.
