My keyboard died on my laptop during the hurricane. I brought my laptop in for repair. Susan the owner got me all checked in. Joe the in house tech worked his magic on my laptop. I'm very pleased with this local company. Susan and her crew are awesome!!

Perfect! Always prompt, courteous service at a very reasonable price. On-site and remote service is always excellent and completed on time. An added bonus, I have frequently received great advice and direction free of charge.

The install went extremely well on my end. Downtime was limited to one workday and part of the weekend. My understanding is that it was a new way to perform such an install so there were some glitches between YCF and their support but it was never evident by me. The transition from the old hardware to the new came across as relatively seamless, quick and less than two-thirds the cost of the traditional upgrade. Time, money and headaches were all reduced.

Good job, on time, perhaps a little pricey.
Response from Your Computer Friends
"Thank you for taking the time to review us - we do appreciate it! We enjoyed meeting you and are glad you are pleased with your results. Regarding pricing: We haven't had a price increase in over 3 years and in fact we had a price DECREASE in Virus Remove - down about 15% over the past 9 years which was due to efficiencies in the shop and new tools for removal. We also cap virus removal at this rate no matter how many hours it takes or even if we have to resort to a reload (which happens about 10% of the time). We have also NEVER lost data! (must be viable when it arrives) You can read many horror stories online about reloaded computers and lost programs and/or data and messed up mail with indifferent technicians. As with all jobs, we don't take shortcuts; we sometimes take a bit longer, we sometimes take a few extra steps, but we make sure it is all done right and your data is protected during the entire process."

THEY WERE VERY PROFESSIONAL AND FRIENDLY. THE SERVICE WAS FAST, BROUGHT MY COMPUTER IN ON 3\3\15 AND THEY CALLED THAT AFTERNOON THAT THE WORK WAS COMPLETED. THEY EXPLAINED EVERYTHING THEY HAD TO DO AND WHEN I PICKED UP MY COMPUTER THEY TOOK TIME TO TELL ME HOW TO PREVENT TROUBLE IN THE FUTURE. I PURCHASED THE WEBER ANTIVIRUS AND THE YOUNG MAN SPENT AT LEAST 35 MINUTES MAKING SURE THAT THE WARNINGS WERE AVAILABLE FOR ME TO SEE WHEN I WAS SEARCHING THE WEB. I CANNOT SAY ENOUGH GREAT THINGS ABOUT THEM. WILL USE NO ONE ELSE IN THE FUTURE.

170.0I purchased a new computer through Susan although it was not necessary. Data was transferred and I am up and running. In the years previous she has always done a terrific job and I would not dream of going anywhere else.
Response from Your Computer Friends
"Thank you so much for taking time to write us a review [member name removed]! As one of the first business owners we met when we opened our first shop across from you, I'm thrilled that we are still trusted partners eight years later. Our new space is much larger now, but I miss our old neighbors in the courtyard! Don't be a stranger - call me once in a while, even if your new Toshiba is running well!"

Staff was very friendly and helpful. Explained the problem, how it was resolved and how to prevent it from happening again. Followed up afterwards with a phone call and thank you for using their services.

They did a quick diagnosis. They advised me to get a new laptop and Susan made several suggestions, based on my needs and budget. When I chose one and ordered it, I brought it to the shop and they transferred what data could be retrieved from my thumb drive. All they charged me was $40.50 for shop labor. All the good advice and kind emails (I was in a panic) were free.
They helped me with my trouble-ridden old laptop on several previous occasions. Their service has been consistently cheerful, prompt and affordable. I highly recommend them.

I was having problems with dialog boxes popping up almost every time I clicked on something on the web and emails had partially hidden advertisements. Your Computer Friends checked my computer for a virus, removed clutter and unwanted programs, updated JAVA/Adobe and reinstalled Mozilla. Susan and tech listened to me and were diligent in resolving the problems. Excellent service and work was done same day. Highly recommend.

Quick diagnosis and fix. About 2 months later, I had a separate issue with the laptop computer, brought it in, the guy fixed it on the spot at no charge. Great service.
Response from Your Computer Friends
"Thank you for taking the time to leave a review and mentioning that we fixed a simple problem for free. We know that we are not the cheapest answer in town. BUT we do take care of our customers to a high standard and frequently answer simple questions or fix simple things without additional charges. We think that in a long term relationships, this all works out to what one of my customer's calls "a square deal". Also, we have not raised our rates in over 3 years. Thank you again for your kind review - we look forward to a long relationship with you and your computers."

The service was excellent. The service rep was prompt, courteious and professional. He configured our printer for wireless printing via bluetooh and made other changes to enable printing from laptops. He also checked system update packs on our PC to ensure all was in working order. Lastly, he made some recommendations for us to consider regarding WiFi printer or bluetooth adapter for another printer. We were very pleased with results and he had everything working and closed out in an hour.

I called the company first thing in the morning and received directions to their site, upon which I dropped of the unit about an hour and a half later. I suggested that I knew the problem was due to a malfunctioning power supply unit and we discussed the potential fee for that repair, if that was the source of the issue.
I was able to pick up my tower on the same day, without any difficulty. The price I paid was the one given at estimate time and since they did not have to research my problem extensively, I was merely charged for parts and labor. No diagnostics.
Susan was very friendly and helpful. She was my original point of contact and the only person I communicated with. The whole process was smooth, simple, and painless. I received the services I requested, without any haggling or upselling. I was very pleased...My memory of a computer gone bad were all distant, by the end of the day.

They aquired remote access to my computer and found and repaired all the problems I had encountered. It was efficient and effective and I couldn't have asked for a better result. All within an hour of my initial call. We're new to this area and have used Angie's List for finding good reliable services and have not failed yet. This contact with "Your Computer Friends" is the latest example.
Response from Your Computer Friends
"So sorry Microsoft sent you down a very nasty road. When it comes to cleaning a registry, a good technician is the best answer. All computer entries are different, so one size does not fit all! It was our pleasure to get you back up and running using our remote connection service. Thank you for your business and your kind words!"

Flawlessly. Your Computer Friends staff speak "Non-Geek" English and teach non tech-savvy adults with analogies that make sense. They did what they said they would do, on time, and painlessly. They are a trustworthy resource that we would recommend to anyone.

I could not be happier with their service, and will plan to use them whenever I have an computer issue. I'm so glad I found them!
Response from Your Computer Friends
"Thank you Member for taking the time to tell Angie's List members about your new computer. I'm glad we were able to get you exactly what you needed, including all the "goodies" that make it fun! It was our pleasure to help you transition to a new Windows 7 machine! Stop by when you are in our neighborhood and say hello!"

We recommend them very highly. They did such a good job that we didn't need a repeat. If we do, we'll call them. They repaired one of them. They didn't think the other was worth repairing. They knew what they were doing. They followed up to make sure everything was okay. They're very knowledgeable, and responsive to the customer's needs. They're real professionals.
Response from Your Computer Friends
"Thank you! We appreciate your taking the time to tell Angie's List members about our service and support the growth of Small Business! All computers are not worth fixing, we get that. Now that you are part of our family, call us anytime you have a question!"
