I chose Glen because of the great reviews. He responded quickly to my request and was able to quickly work on my laptop. I had a Windows 10 operating system that needed to be reset/reinstalled on my laptop, along with data recovery and computer setup after the Windows reset. I dropped my laptop off at 11:00 am and I got an “all finished” email around 8 pm that night.I feel like a weight has been lifted from me. I am so relieved. Glen recovered all data and fully set up my computer. When he was working on my computer, I made a list of the things I had to do to my computer after the Windows reset to get it back to normal. I was pleasantly surprised: when I got it back, all I had to do was connect to my WiFi, add my printer, and download several programs that I needed to download after signing into my accounts on the program websites. It was so easy. Glen would have installed these programs for me, but I would have had to give him access to my accounts. It was easier for me to reinstall these programs after getting my computer back.I think his fees are very reasonable. I had a Dell Software Technical Support contract that expired yesterday. After finding Glen, I have no need to renew it. Had I known there was such a great local expert, I could have saved a lot of money over the years.

Highly Recommend Alaska Computer GuyMy old computer had died. I was not only in need of data retrieval but also guidance in terms of whether to resurrect the actual computer. Glen responded to my frantic call and within minutes, his exceptional knowledge base, skills and honesty came shining through.We developed a plan to focus on saving the data. I almost gave up the plan when I could not find an external drive and Glen quickly responded, assuring me that he had external drives, including type and price. Just as important, his guidance in terms of whether I should try to save the computer or not, helped me to feel confident and reassured about my decision.The next day, I dropped the computer off and within hours Glen reported back that data recovery went well and an update on how sick my hard drive actually was.Even with that, he was able to retrieve it all. . .desktop, documents, photos, and music! I could hardly believe how reasonable his fees were, especially after receiving multiple estimates from other places.Professional, kind, knowledgeable, and ethical. . .whether you need assistance with repairing your hard drive or like me, guidance and technical support with data retrieval, check out the Alaska Computer Guy. You’ll be glad you did!

He is a computer God and I am so thankful that I had reached out to him. He literally has great reviews for a reason. Honestly its all 5 stars besides the one 1 star. I messed up my audio drive and I messaged him for a quote on recovering it. He said he wasnt currently taking those kinds of projects but he sent me a link to reinstall and gave me clear directions and I followed it. I was able to fix it at NO CHARGE!!! He couldve had me make an appointment to get it checked out and then I couldve gotten charged for that but nope! I am so happy because Ive only had my laptop for 2 years and its still in awesome condition. I was planning on reselling my laptop so it wouldve made me broken if I couldnt fix the audio. I have a Lenovo Yoga c930. I am totally going to be back for any future computer/laptop problems!

My computer wouldnt boot up for some reason, but he checked it out, and nothing was wrong with the computer. The monitor was actually the problem, so he didnt charge me. I spent a few months planning this build and I practically died when it didnt start up. Eased my nerves, would rate 10 stars.

Needed a repair done to a friends PC, was pretty sure i knew what the problem was but didnt have the time or part to fix it. Glenn was responsive, professional and knowledgable, got the parts and repair in/done the day i dropped it off for the quoted price, picked it up the next day. Cant say enough how great it is to deal with a friendly AND professional computer professional. Highly recommend

My son was looking for help with his computer because it wouldnt boot up. No where on the Alaska Computer Guy website does it show that he only sees people by appointment only. It just says, walk ins are discouraged. When my wife and son went there, he was very rude and wouldnt help out with even answering a single question. We wanted to help support local small businesses during this tough time. We are very disappointed in with this local business.

Glen is an exceptional computer technician and I highly recommend him. I generally do not give out 5 star recommendations unless an individual goes beyond the call of duty in preforming a task and I have observed that Glen is such an individual. Glen is friendly, focused, efficient, and reasonable priced. Glen takes care of all our computer needs at our Campus from networking, security back-ups, troubleshooting computer issues, recommending virus software, to being the point man for our networking during our fundraising gala. When other computer vendors call to solicit our computer business, I let them know we are completely satisfied with Glen and I recommend him to other local businesses.

I wanted to give a shoutout to Glen @ AK Computer Guy. I tried to install some upgrades on my own into my desktop but actually didnt entirely know what I was doing and somehow ended up frying the motherboard that came with my computer because after I had attempted to install the upgrades, the computer was essentially dead and nothing would turn on. Feeling frustrated and not wanting to damage anything further than I probably already have, I took it to Glen. The communication from start to finish was prompt and Glen was upfront with everything. There were some minor issues with getting a replacement motherboard but overall he got it working again and everything looks clean. I can now enjoy the added memory and better graphics processing! Thanks Glen!

Disclaimer: The following is a review of his customer service over Google, not of an experience at the store itself!Where do I begin?For starters, it was late at night on Saturday and early morning Sunday when I first contacted him, and he still responded to my issue almost instantly. Even when his store was supposed to be closed, he provided me with the help I needed. Hes personable, polite, and gives decent troubleshooting advice. I have never had customer support as straight and to the point as this, and I cant thank him enough for the expensive RX 570 I saved.

Highly recommend! Glen was so easy to work with and super helpful. Honest guy and wont try to cheat you. Also super quick work, dropped the laptop off and had it back the same day in 8 hours even though he had to go pick up a part for it.

Professional, awesome customer service, extremely knowledgeable, courteous, reasonable prices and very fast work, those are only the beginning of all the words to describe Glen and his work. This is the second time that i have used his service and have not been disappointed. The first time he took the time to thoroughly work on the problem, found it and resolved it. I returned to him for the upgrades we discussed the first time and a failing part that needed to be changed. To my surprise, he delivered my computer back to me in less time than he quoted. My computer out performs the benchmarks that it had when it manufactured. I very highly recommend Glen without a doubt or hesitation. You will not be disappointed by taking your computer to him. Thank you Glen and his door greeter Axle!

5 stars to an honest man who did an awesome job. I tried to build my own PC but lost all hope in getting it to work so I took it to Glen (if I remember his name correctly) and he offered to take a look at it. He did his research, explained to me what the issues were, and got the job done. Although he spent a good amount of time working on my computer, I wasnt charged much. I promised to write a review as a token of my gratitude. Ill also recommend him to my friends who need tech help.

Troubleshooting took less than an hour, after the issue was managed the computer and its new parts were tied together without too much trouble. A little in house cleaning and maintenance and I was back up and running. Glens the real MVP. Also thanks Axle, great support.

Fast, efficient, and friendly.A few months ago Glen replaced my power supply for me in an afternoon. His pricing was extremely fair and I felt like I was getting the better end of the deal.I gave Glen a call today after I was having some issues with my PC. He offered, for me to bring it over, to take a look. In the mean time he gave me a quick pointer and I was able to quickly fix it myself. This guy is awesome!

Glen did a great job on my computer. I only had a couple of days in Anchorage to get it done and he made it very convenient for me to drop it off and pick it up and fixed it up for me in about 24 hours. It is running great and I no longer want to scream every time I turn it on...which is wonderful. Plus, he is a pleasant guy to do business with.

I brought the PC i was building to Glen to do the finish work on it and he did better than i wouldve imagined. His work was very neat and clean. It was very fast (brought it in the evening and it was done noon the next day) and fairly inexpensive compared to others. Also, Glen is a nice guy.

Review №21

My computer was slowing crashing and I had tons of pictures on it that I couldnt image losing. My computer wouldnt let me back it up so I restored it to factory settings not even thinking about the consequences. I had a paper due for class and really needed my computer. Anyway, after restoring my computer I realized I had lost everything; I was almost in tears. I called two large, reputable electronics stores. One said there is no way I we get any of the data back, I actually wasnt happy with that answer. I figured with the way technology is now there was a way I could at least get some data back. I called the second store, they stated they had a machine that might be able to get the data back but there was no guarantees; I wanted a second opinion. I decided to Google computer repair Anchorage and the Computer Guy came up. Normally I wouldnt respond to the first company that comes up but I noticed he had good reviews. I called Glen; two hours later he picked up my computer and returned it the next day. I cannot thank Glen enough. He restored 99% of my computer and for much less. All my pictures and videos were recovered. I will recommend his company to any who asks. This is actually the first review I have ever written and it is well deserved. Thank you.Brandy

Glen is wonderful to deal with. Great service, quick work, reasonable price and one very adorable dog. He just fixed my laptop and retrieved all the files I thought had gone forever. Wouldnt hesitate to recommend him to others.

Quick and affordable.My laptop stopped in the middle of its Windows 10 download. So I had to restart the laptop, which then tried to restore back to the original Windows and failed. Then I had a computer that did not work. Fortunately I was able to drop off my laptop on Friday afternoon to Glen and pick it up restored on Saturday morning.

If you are looking for a large storefront with lots of new gadgets to lighten your wallet, keep looking. If you are looking for great service, very affordable pricing, and working with a honest businessman this is your guy! As he does not keep a bench stock of parts he relies on shipping to get the right components at a fair price and then came in below his estimate to repair my laptop. Rest assured if I ever need computer support in the Anchorage area again I will be calling Glen!

I had two not related issues that led me to Glen.My laptop infected with malware and viruses and transferring data from my old desktop comp to portable drive.Like this 25 reviews before me I gave Glen 5 stars. His professionalism,reasonable price and personal approach earned him that. He is a nice guy and I would recommend him to anyone.Thanks Glen.

Glen did a wonderful job on my computer.I had another company try to fix an Antivirus Issue, they really did a number on my computer, it was very sick. I took my computer to Glen, he had it fixed the next day. My computer is working better than ever. His prices are very reasonable, I highly recommend him!!!

After being unable to start my desktop, I did a quick online search with my laptop for a reliable repair person and fortunately found the Alaska Computer Guy. He had very high ratings from previous customers, so I decided to give him a try. Not only was I surprised by how fast Glen fixed the problem (I had my computer back the next day), I was amazed at how reasonable his rate was. Im a VERY satisfied customer, and would never think of taking my computers anywhere else.

Great professional service for a fair price. All problems solved with one visit and ready to go on time - no excuses or delays like the others we have used. A bonus is that our data was preserved, which rarely happens with other shops. Alaska Computer Guy is now our #1 preference for and computer fixes.

Review №37

I went to the Alaska Computer Guy over all of the others because of his reviews on Google and I am glad I did. I took in two computers and explained that I really only needed one working computer. He was willing to walk me through a few things over the phone for free to see if that would actually fix it before bringing in my computer. After messing with my computer for a little bit, I called him back and said I wanted to bring it in anyways because I knew there were some other problems. He said I could come in right away and he would get started on figuring out which one would be best to fix. He fixed my laptop and it was ready to be picked up the next morning. He was professional and worked fast to get my computer back to me. I would definitely go back to him. I paid $100 to get one computer back to working condition. I didnt look around at prices, but I trust that he did a good job and it was a fair price.

This guy is awesome! My computer crashed and I desperately needed help. I had several important files including audio recordings, important transcribed interviews, and photos that I thought were lost forever.

Fantastic business. Twice I have called them and they made suggestions which worked for me and did not charge me. When I asked them to repair my monitor, the gentleman told me, he could repair it but on a computer as old as mine it would be unethical of him to do the work. Now, where in this day and age, do you find a company like this!

Glenn was an amazing help for our business, Conifer Realty Investing. His turn around time was out of this world and his customer service was right up there with it!

Hands down I will never go to another computer repair service as long as he is doing business!

Glen really help me out here. My computer crashed and everyone I talked to said that I just needed to accept that my data was gone. Glen worked for several days to recover the data from my hard drive, and he made it clear that is wouldnt charge me anything if the data wasnt recovered. He recovered everything off of my hard drive. Glen seems to be the rare type of person these days that does the job right whether it is economical or not. I have gone back to him for other computer issues, and I have nothing but good things to say about him and the way he runs his business.

I recommend Alaska Computer Guy to anyone having any issues with virus infected computers in the Anchorage and surrounding areas. In 2014 my laptop was so infected and Ive tried several different computer cleaning programs from Best Buy spending lots of money trying to clean off the problems but nothing worked. Thanks to a good friend of mine working with me a Bear Tooth Pub in Anchorage,AK told me about this guy called The Alaska Computer Guy, that he fixed his computer and I should go on line and look up his website. Im really glad I did! The price was really reasonable and hes a nice person to do business with because hes very honest straight forward about everything. Just very professional. I got my lap top back with in about 2 days after dropping it off to him to fix it. FAST AND AMAZING RESULTS! I live now in New Jersey and if I have any issues with my computer and it ever get a virus again If I have to Im seriously confident to boxing it up and sending it to him to fix it with no second thoughts at all.

Sorry for the late review. A few months ago I had a ROG ASUS that had a failing hard drive. I brought it to ACG and he was able to fux and recover 99% of my files. The job was actually more than he quoted me for, but he still honored the price given. Honestly after it was all said and done I felt bad because I feel I should have paid more. He refused to take a penny more than what he quoted. I would definitely go back to ACG. I also have recommended him to anyone that has a computer problem.

Wow I dont even know where to start with this whirl wind of events...so Im just gonna tell you the short! Working with Glenn was an amazing experience. It took us sometime to finally get done due to waiting on shipping for rma/me trying to find replacement parts in town. Glenn was patient and thorough with finding what was wrong, with my newly built computer, to finally getting it fixed. All in all I had gotten a bad cpu from intel and it needed replace. Thanks again Glenn sorry bout all the headaches my machine brought.If you need computer work Glenn is your guy. Honest,fair and a all around great dude. O and has the softest dog Ive ever pet haha.

He even went out of his way to unclutter the cable management i didnt have lol Hard to find decent service these days. This is a gem
