My overall experience with Alexander Technical was wonderful. I contacted them through Angie's List and received a call the next morning to set up an appointment. My appointment was with Donna, and she called me right on time. I had purchased a new laptop and it was already giving me problems. Donna went through the laptop and my internet connections. Judging by the dates she located inside the laptop, the machine I received must have been refurbished. The laptop was supposed to be new. Donna spent a couple of hours on this, and I could see everything she was doing the entire time. I returned the laptop the next day for a refund. Donna is awesome at what she does, and I highly recommend her and Alexander Technical Resources.
Description of Work: This specialty technology work was excellent and completed in a couple of hours.

Thank you so much for your kindness. We do not like to give people bad news when it concerns the customers hard earned money, that they may have gotten a refurbished item or that it may be inferior in any way. Sometimes even new computer have issues that cannot be repaired without extensive costs. people return computers and they are (refurbished) Reset to Factory default settings and may be resold as Refurbished and discounted prices. Sometimes people return a computer because it has a problem, and they don't convey that to the company. This is where the problems lie. We appreciate all of our customers and hope that you will call us in the future with any other issues. Thank you again.

I decided to try this service to see if they could help me get rid of hacker program trying to penetrate my computer's personal firewall by attempting port scan attacks. These attacks are originating from China and Russia. Somehow, whatever program they are using finds my IP address whenever I logged onto the internet. Even though she tried to locate the malware program on my computer, she was not able to do so because the port scanning attacks have continued. Currently, my security software (Eset Smart Security System) is protecting my computer and notifying me whenever they try to attack, I will have to either have a technican come to my home or take my computer to them so everything can be erased from my harddrive and then resinstall Windows 7 and the rest of my software to get rid of whatever malware that has been planted on my computer. I liked the technician that tried to help me. I felt she was professional and kind. This service was performed remotely. I will use them again for straightforward computer needs but something complex as my current problem ... I will have to use a local computer technical service to either come to my home or take my computer to their location.

The story is above. Overall, I think it went well and I was pleased with the service. I would contact them again for assistance.
Description of Work: I called and made an appointment to begin our remote check-up of my computer at 9:00 AM EST (7:00 AM MST). The person, Donna, called me promptly, asked me various questions about the problems and the system and then began the remote review. Various unused items were deleted after a scan of the system. My computer was moving so slowly at one point, I asked if I was going to get an hourly charge as it would be very high at the rate the computer was going. She said I would be charged the review special as offered on Angie’s List. I ended up leaving for work at 9:00 AM MST but the review/clean-up continued for some time. Donna told me about some minimum capacities I would need to do the things I want to do with my computer and I learned that my system is just to old/slow to accommodate my activities. Unfortunately, I wasn’t able to save my computer for future use but at least I learned that there was little I could do to improve performance. Donna suggested I could buy a memory stick to add capacity but it probably would not help that much.

I was having problems with computer slowness. Service technician (sorry, cannot remember her name) was very prompt when she called at our scheduled appointment time. She was very courteous and explained thoroughly the work that she was performing. She provided very good information about my issue and the version of operating software that I was running. She resolved my issue at that time and I was pleased with the service that I had received. Thanks much.

They di well with the work, the timing of the appointment went well, the technician was professional and friendly. My only regret is that the services performed did not improve the speed of the computer as much as I had hoped. I don't fault the service but was just hoping that my old computer could be enhanced more than appear possible.
Description of Work: The company did a remote diagnostic review of our personal computer walked me through ways to improve the performance of the machine and also performed a series of tests and fixes at their end. It all took about and hour and improved the performance of the computer, although not as much as I had hoped.

Thank you so much for your response. We are glad to have helped you , and unfortunately, sometimes it is not a computer software problem that is slowing a computer. The hardware installed is a Major factor in the speed and performance of the system. Unfortunately some older systems cannot increase the speed without upgrading some of the inner hardware like adding more Memory. If we can be of any further assistance, Please do not hesitate to call us. Thank you again.

I called the company and spoke with an assistant who made an appointment with me to have the owner contact me by telephone. The owner called on time and told me how to log him onto my computer. After this was done, he told me he would call back when he finished the defraging process. He called back within 5 or so minutes and told me I needed to get a new computer as there is just too much data on it and the software is very old. The owner did not recommend a manufacturer nor did he want to charge me. I thought he should have some payment for his time and giving me his recommendations. I am not very tech savvy and there were a couple of times when I could hear some impatience in the owner's voice. However, I would use this service again as he was competent.
Description of Work: Alexander Technical Resources - My computer is very old, 9 or so years. I was asking this company to defrag it. Several people told me it was time to buy a new computer but I wanted an expert to tell me the same thing. The appointment was made by an assistant. The owner contacted me on time.

We had a computer issue for several days and my husband needed a speedy resolution. It was all a matter of availability. No negatives related to this vendor.
Description of Work: I had called Alexander Technical with a computer problem when I was unable to get in touch with another vendor. The 1st vendor called back as I left a message for ATR - so I used the first vendor. I received a follow up call from Spencer Alexander this evening - I explained what had happended and that my computer problem had been resolved. He apologized for missing my call - they had been out of the office - but I told him I appreciated his call back just the same. Yes i would use this provider in the future if the need arises again.

Good company. My computer is ready for the graveyard.
Description of Work: They tried to fix my computer, however it is too old. Even though I've had a new hard drive installed and many repairs through laptop exchange. It appears they're are too many viriuses. I will be buying a new computer shortly, because the one I have can't be fixed. So it would be unfair for me to rate this company. They were very nice, very effient...not their fault that they could fix it.

I had a coupon from Angie's List for one hour of remote technical support. I called and talked with Spencer Alexander, who promptly scheduled an appointment with me at my convenience. We set a time for the next day and Spencer called exactly at the specified time. We talked about the problems with my computer (locking up, extremely slow, not performing well) and he suggested that we first run a diagnostic program he had. He said it would take about an hour or a little more. The charges are then just a $1.00 for each minute after the initial hour. Well, turns out I had over 100 infections (even though I consistently use virus software) and the hard drive had not been defragmented in over 4 years! Spencer explained this to me and with my consent, proceeded to remotely fix my pc. It took three hours to defragment the disk, at which time, Spencer called me and he then uninstalled and reinstalled a program which was causing a problem. Unfortunately, during this process, we ran out of time but Spencer continued to fix the problem remotely, on his own time to be sure that I was satisfied with the performance of my computer. My computer is working perfectly and quickly. I couldn't be more pleased and would definitely recommend Alexander's Technical Support in the future.

Donna, the computer technician, must have driven at least an hour to get to my home. She stayed in touch from the scheduling the appointment until she arrived. Such a pleasant and professional young woman. I am so pleased with the service and I will of course recommend this company to my friends. It's so important to have a trustworthy company to go to for computer needs, especially for those of us who as not as literate with computers as we would like to be. Donna explained things to me, was very patient, and made this set up much easier than I thought it would be. Thank you soooo much!!
Description of Work: Donna made sure that my pc, tower, printer, and scanner were all networked and working. She even downloaded a driver for my printer so that my laptop would print to my printer as well as my desktop.

Donna, the tech spoke American English, was very knowledgeable about hardware and software, and addressed every issue, answered all of my questions, and made helpful suggestions. The entire process took over three hours, but they were very well spent. My six month old Dell computer runs faster than it did when new, and my wireless internet connection runs at top speed. At $80.00, this was a no-brainer. I have spent considerably more than this in the past just to have my old computer virus cleaned. Top notch service. Taking my computer to a local repair tech and being without it for a few days now seems crazy to me.

Mostly it went well. However, in the initial conversation, I explained that I was having problems getting the computer to reboot everytime I I turned it off. As part of the maintenance process, she had me turn off the computer, before all the maintenance work was complete, even thought I had stated that getting it to reboot was the reason I asked for service in the first place. When it didn't reboot immediately, she advised me to leave it on and hopefully, it would reboot. It took over 24 hours after turning it back on for the computer come on. When the computer didn't come on, she had promised me she would call later, but she never did. I called several times. Finally, when I got hold of her, she said that she was sorry, but that she had forgotten to call me back. The computer ran better after the work was completed, but since I got the work done, I still cannot get my iPod to sync with my iTunes, which is really frustrating.
Description of Work: I was having computer problems. When I turned my computer off, it became harder and harder to boot it back up again. They preformed some routine maintenance to improve things.
