We inquired about an issue and about less than an hour Josh came out to help us out. Not only was he professional and pleasure to work with, he fixed our issue in a timely manner and gave us tips for the future. We so recommend Josh and The Peoples Geek.Thank you so much.

These guys are awesome! My four year old started clicking on things on my laptop and next thing I know my computer is locked up with a screen blaring at me telling me to call some 800 number. I called and they told me it was a well known virus and to bring it in. The next day it was ready and the price was very reasonable. They are life savers, I wouldnt call anyone else!

Called them about an issue with my laptops fan. On start, a message appeared that the fan was malfunctioning. I mentioned that fact in my initial contact with them, yet they failed to act on it. Was that because they were under the impression that I was not intelligent enough to know what I was talking about? Or perhaps a feeble old woman? Maybe replacing a fan wouldnt pay that well? In any event, I have ordered a fan and will replace it myself. Received an email from them; claimed they didnt receive the message on the laptop. Well, that just returns to the was that because scenarios. The fan was less than $30, so I guess that answers the profit question. They did do some work for over $300, but not what was needed.UPDATE 7/15/20: Purchased new fan. Opened up laptop and they HAD NOT CHECKED THE FAN AT ALL. It was caked with dust. All it needed was a cleaning. THEY NEVER LOOKED AT IT!!!On top of that, they kept an old laptop without asking if they could. Not cool!!!

Used these guys twice, once for my home computer and once for work. Had to give them 5 stars. They were friendly, they fixed both within 48 hours, and I found the prices to be fair. Definitely would use these guys again.

I built my own computer, and consider myself fairly savvy. However, when I found myself out of ideas, the gents here were happy enough to help guide me out of the corner, and not only that, they found extra kinks they could iron out that makes my computer run like a dream - and all through the way, being courteous, understanding and generous. Will definitely go back to them again, if I need to!

The Peoples Geek are fast and efficient. When my office computer went down they had it back running the next day. My two boys got lap tops for x-mass and for their safety and our peace of mind The Peoples Geek put child safety software in and passwords so we could be sure they was only on the allowed sites we approved. Thanks Ben great job.

I thought these guys were great when they solved my wi-fi issues last summer. Had a little glitch in connectivity today and was worried Id have to wait until the quarantine was over before I could get it looked at. They talked me through it -- easy peasy -- and all is good now! Super fast reponse time and explains things so that I can understand!

I work for a small law firm in Portland. We hired Josh to assist us with transitioning our phone system from Network based to a Hosted Phone system through Oxford Networks. Josh was personable and professional. He was available with just one phone call and followed up with us after the installation to make sure everything was working smoothly. Would highly recommend them, especially for a small office that does not have their own IT department.

I have worked with Josh and Ben for the past year and they are AMAZING! They have set me up virtually so that I can work anywhere. They are brilliant technicians, accommodating, fast and always there when I need them. I highly recommend their services and have referred many customers to them who find them equally amazing! Thank you Ben and Josh for being my star geeks!

I wanted to get a computer loaded with Windows 8.1 rather than Windows 10. I found such a computer on the web but when the Peoples Geek looked at it they said I could do better and found me an all-in-one computer that was faster and less expensive. Then they transferred my files from my old computer. I am one happy customer.

The Peoples Geek has been the technology company for Aquarius Property Management for over 5 years. I know I can depend on Josh and Ben, to keep our computers and operating systems current and secure. They have always been there for our company, keeping everything running smoothly. I have referred the Peoples Geek several times, and I cant count the number of times that I received a thank you from the person I referred them to. I am happy to provide this review. It is well deserved!

I recently spilled a drink on my new Macbook Pro. It definitely fried everything in my computer, beyond repair, except for my hard drive. So, I turned to Peoples Geek for help in retrieving my data. They were awesome. They took the computer apart to evaluate the situation and tried everything to get a device to save the data including calling their competition for suggestions. The thing is, Apple is super proprietary about everything. Apple basically made this task impossible to do. So, yes, the story sadly didnt end well for me. However, I was so thankful for the care I received at Peoples Geek. They were very kind and honest. I know they truly gave it their best go and it was all free of charge. I highly recommend them!

Cannot believe how fast Josh got me up and running on a new laptop. All done remotely. Two hours was all it took. While items were installing he assisted me with two other PC issues. GREAT SERVICE and GREAT VALUE.

Review №22

Very impressed with The Peoples Geek and their work. Our business server and computer connections were in dire need of help at a critical time since our company move, all systems were failing for various reasons. We called them and Josh came over and started the repairs and reconnect our devices one by one. Josh was very pleasant to deal with and was very through on his assessment and completion of the project at hand. To this day, Im not sure what caused all the chaos, but were happy to have The Peoples Geek supporting our business.

I have used the Peoples Geek for all my computer needs for many years. Recently, I needed a new work laptop. I asked them to purchase one for me and migrate all my work and personal files to the new computer. All went well and I was able to start work immediately on my new laptop! Josh is ALWAYS very responsive and has saved me a lot of time and stress when my computer is not working properly. I highly recommend The Peoples Geek!

Peoples Geek solved problems with my desktop PC and provided great customer service. This PC started as Windows 8.1, had multiple upgrades to Windows 10 and has issues with apps/utilities not functioning at each stage. I finally found Peoples Geek and they resolved all of the issues quickly providing timely updates as they progressed. The PC now functions better than it has ever functioned before at a very reasonable cost.I cannot speak highly enough about their commitment to their customers and technical problem-solving skills. They go the extra mile to put concerned minds at rest and I would recommend them to anyone. Very professional indeed !

Ben and Josh have always come through for us. Talk about Super Hero service, they have kept us running through virus attacks, dropped laptops and out dated hardware. We have used them for repair, service and buying new equipment. Whenever I recommend them to a friend or business I always, always get a big thanks. These guys are great, always take the time to figure out what I need and always get to us as quickly as possible.Cant recommend them enough!

Review №59

I had the pleasure of meeting the Geek several years ago and Im happy to say he has been there for me, the non-geek for many years bailing me out of larger problems and often (maybe too often) annoying things that I simply cannot figure out. Im 70 and a slow learner!! Hes very patient with me and I know thats important to others like me who might feel foolish to call over little things but, when you cant use your computer today, its like...slow death and before you know it, the angel beckons! Thank you Josh!

Ben and Josh are always very responsive when we have a computer, network or email problem. They know that healthy IT is critical to our business. Most recently Josh refreshed my 8+ year old iMac with a solid state drive. The slow clunky machine is now running as if its on rocket fuel. I figure he saved me over $1500 in replacement costs. The Peoples Geek is the best.

Review №75

I have used Peoples Geek for several issues: OS problems, Security issues and WIFI set-up. They are quick, efficient, very personable - great with dogs, and... on-time. I often relate for having a service person visit my house as House Arrest as I will be told they will show up between x and y. Peoples Geek gave me a time and met it. I have not had to call them back for any issue that shows up again - that may be because they teach me how to use the new solution and not cause an additional issue.This is a very good company to use for computer related issues.

Review №80

Josh and Ben from The Peoples Geek saved me hundreds if not thousands of hours in lost data and work by recovering files from my fried hard drives, as in THREE hard drives. My internal hard drive and my two external backup hard drives all failed in two weeks. Without the Time Machine and Carbonite backup that they installed and the work they did recovering data from the fried drive, I would have been out of luck. I got back 99% of my files, my emails, fonts, and contacts. They installed the software on my computer, taught me how to manage it, and stepped me through the recovery process. They went ABOVE AND BEYOND. I am very indebted to them and highly recommend them.

Review №92

I had made an awful mess of my 27 iMac trying to revert to Mavericks from El Capitan, because after installing the latter, my printers were acting up. Well, I ended up erasing everything from my Time Machine, which I didnt care about, but I could not back up from it anymore, and I was frantic. Even before my upgrade to El Capitan, my Mac was running very sluggishly. I found The Peoples Geek in a search, and Dr. Josh admitted my Mac to the Peoples Geek ER for a day, and he brought it back running like a Rolls Royce and with the Time Machine working perfectly. Because of that experience, I just had him install 2 new printers for me--its not like it used to be--there is a lot lot more to installing now--firmware, WPS, all kinds of things that will drain your mind! Dont raise your blood pressure, call the Peoples Geek. The price is so right, believe me. I would give more than 5 stars if the site allowed.
