But the worst part is not that several technicians cannot figure out a solution, but that the service department's customer service is awful and frustrating. Parts come in and they don't call us to schedule. When you call them, they have lengthy waiting times for repair visits. Sometimes as long as two weeks. Technicians have their own cell phones so caller ID does not ID them as B&S technicians. One day i waited all day and they did not come. The machine is no longer under warranty except for the computer board which they charged me for the labor. It may be that this is a lemon but it should not be so frustrating dealing with a repair company.

I really appreciated the prompt house call. Darby is not only very technically proficient with computers but can also explain things in plain English. I am not a computer savvy person, so the clear, non-technical communication was important to me. I told Darby I didn't want to have to learn Windows 8, so she found me a new computer that was running Windows 7. Her fee included the trouble shooting, two house calls, locating and picking up the new computer, keeping it at her workshop to install all my backed up files from Carbonite (took an entire day) and installed my MS office suite on the new computer. She brought the new computer to my home on August 4, just a few days after the original house call. She then hooked it up to my printer, monitor, keyboard, and mouse and made sure everything was running well, including my computer security suite. I also got her to install some other favorite software. She was very patient and answered all my questions. Everything is working great. I wouldn't hesitate to hire Mobile PC Solutions again for any computer related issues. In fact, I hired Darby's son Kyle to come out recently to install my new high speed router and change the passwords so that the router worked with my computer, Smart TV, and Kindle. For prompt, efficient, and fairly priced services, I highly recommend Mobile Computer Solutions.

After additional diagnostics he determined that my hard drive was failing. Ryan ordered a new hard drive, came and picked up my computer, came by the house again to pick up operating system disks, installed the new hard drive and created a backup of the original C drive, then returned/hooked up the newly improved system. When I hit a small snag a few days after getting my computer back, Ryan remoted in and solved that issue as well. My husband and are pretty tech savvy, but the issues we were experiencing were beyond our capabilities. Computer Geeks is the best we?ve seen anywhere for knowledge, efficiency, thoroughness and speed. And the charges were more than reasonable.

While visiting my daughter's neighbor's computer to print a file from because her printer wasn't working. Unknown to me, I presumably had a virus on my flashdrive. When the neighbors tried to use the computer later everything was messed up. They told me several days later. Between the time that things got messed up and them telling me, the neighbors had tried to repair things and then giving up they reinstalled Windows, so they lost all of their files including pictures and tax records. Once they told me the situation, I was very upset because I know how important their files were to them. I have a computer person I use back in my hometown, but no on here in Raleigh where my daughter lives. I immediately added Raleigh to my Angie's List cities. I looked at the reviews of the different computer experts and found that Covey Computer Services was going to be the right company to help me. Thank goodness, I chose Covey. Nick Covey answered the phone and we discussed the situation. He understood it right away. He happened to be in the area, so he picked up my neighbor's computer saving me money. He could not promise me that he could retrieve the files for my neighbors. Nick was quick to work on the computer. He was able to retrieve the files for my neighbors (Yippee!!!). He also set up the computer including drivers to get them back up and running. I didn't write this review right after it all happened because I went back to my home in the DC area and I wanted to make sure that everything ended up fine for my neighbors when I returned to Raleigh. They were very happy that there files are back and they are back up and running just. THANK YOU, Nick! Nick's hourly rates may seem high, but they are not because he knows what he is doing and does his work efficiently and effectively--meaning he takes less time to do things than others might. He was excellent in communicating with me and my daughter's neighbors. Covey Computer Services is an excellent! I highly recommend Covey. I am going to get my computer setup so he can work on my computer remotely. In other words, I found Covey to be even better than the highly rated computer expert that I use in the DC area.

"Hopeless service, outrageous price. I hired PROTECH PCS, LLC via Angi to organize my home network panel and label Ethernet/coax lines. On the phone, he quoted $150/hr and said location didn’t matter. He showed up late, brought an 8-port switch but no Ethernet cables, shoved wires back into the wall, used me as his tester, and labeled/tested nothing. After about an hour with no real work done, he demanded $600 for 1 hour 10 min., claiming a “$600 minimum” and travel time from Maryland—none of which was disclosed. I negotiated to $450 only if he left the switch; later I found the exact model online for $17. Days later, a pro recommended by my remodel contractor finished the job properly for $300 in under two hours, with real tools, ethernet cables, and clean results. I’ll never use Angi for computer/network work again. Angi should show verified business addresses. High ratings here look suspicious. Avoid this company."

FAQs for computer repair projects in Arlington, VA
The time it takes to repair a computer depends on the repair needed and part availability. It can take between a few hours to three weeks to fully restore your computer. Certain repairs, like data recovery or network configuration, can be done remotely within a few hours. Other problems, like a Blue Screen Error Code, could take multiple days to resolve fully. Consult a computer repair technician for a diagnosis of your computer’s problem and estimated timeline for repairs.
The average desktop PC lasts three to eight years, while laptops last only three to five years. Desktop computers tend to last longer because of the extra space inside the box, which allows added airflow. This component also allows easy access to repair individual parts as needed. Laptops have more tightly packed components that can lead to overheating issues and a shorter lifespan.
There are several common repairs between laptops and desktops that you’ll need to address as soon as possible. A slow computer is often related to having too many files on your computer or even spyware. A computer repair professional will scan your system for malware and possibly add more RAM to increase the speed time.
Another common problem is overheating, which is caused by dust build-up on the computer components or a part failure. Older computers might develop graphic problems where the display is fuzzy or altered.
In most circumstances, a computer repair will cost less than replacing your computer. However, there are a few factors to consider before making that decision. First, if the repair will cost more than half the cost of a replacement computer, it might be worth replacing it, especially if it’s reaching its age limit.
In addition, it’s essential to consider whether the repair is a one-time deal or regular occurrence. If the repair is a simple upgrade, it’s worth repairing. However, if you have a serious problem like excessive spyware that cannot be fully resolved, it’s better to replace it.
The average cost for computer repair is between $50 to $150. On average, computer repair technicians charge $60per hour, though that price can be as low as $40 to as high as $90 per hour.
The necessary repairs will often dictate the type of charge you’ll incur. For example, laptop hardware replacement, such as hard drives, RAM, or keyboards, typically costs $30per component. However, a complete tuneup, which includes computer upgrades and virus removal, averages around $150.
