Spilled water all over my laptop and thought all my files were gone (which included wedding photos). Stan was able to recover everything incredibly quickly. I will absolutely be going back to Stan for any future tech needs.
Stan is a wonderful guy to work with. I had lots of questions about what to do with my old computer and the new laptop that he recommended. He had lots of suggestions and got things done quickly. He was able to figure out what I needed and got me up and running so smoothly. I highly recommend him.
Stan is great! He not only is authoritatively knowledgeable and helpful, hes just a kind and gracious guy. Hes able to help with all sorts of complicated equipment. Hes repaired and set up computers for me and he also got me going on my smart phone.
Stan helped me to fix my nightmare of a computer. My brother who had built it a few years earlier couldnt even figure out what the issue was with the computer. I called Stan and gave him all the details I could about the computer and then got assistance on it the next day. He quickly identified the problem, fixed the computer, cleaned it up, and returned it to me as good as new. Now my PC runs like it did when I first got it. I highly recommend Stan and will surely be coming to him if I have any issues with my devices in the future.
Stan came to my home and quickly diagnosed that it was not cost effective to fix my 10 year old desktop. We agreed that he should buy a new one, install it and transfer my data from the old machine. He gave me a helpful tutorial on it’s use. Stan also diagnosed that the problem with streaming on my Apple TV was due to my underpowered modem. He purchased and installed another model and now the problem is resolved.I found Stan to be both professional and friendly.
Stan came highly recommended and he exceeded our expectations. We had a list of projects which he not only attended to, but suggested and implemented some changes that made our system more efficient. We were particularly pleased with Stans patience and dedication to problem solving when there was a glitch in the mechanics at one point. Stan remained attentive until everything was in order and smoothly running. We have already started compiling a new list for follow up sessions. We highly recommend Stan for his expertise and his attention to detail.
Stan makes it easy for me to set up doing the routine maintenance on my laptop and devices, and easy for me to understand the upgrades or new technology that is installed. He arrives ready to discuss my problems, takes time to demonstrate the issues, then returns with the device a day or two later. In this age of technology, its appreciated to have a personal touch.
Fixed my computer quickly. Knowable, friendly. Highly recommend him
Stan is the best tech person we have ever used. Hes very responsive and quick to resolve any issues were having. He answers all my questions - of which I have many! He also puts up with our crazy household which includes 2 dogs and 3 kids. I would highly recommend Stan!
Best tech in the planet! Stan saves the day every time. I highly recommend him!!
Incredible service and quality of work. Came into my house to solve both computer, home network and home entertainment challenges. Creative solutions that were implemented flawlessly and rapidly at a great price. Stan is the best!
Stan the Tech Guy was great. He came out to our home the next day and fixed our printer problem quickly and he also assisted in other computer issues for a reasonable rate. I would highly recommend him.Fran CallahanConcord, MA
Very happy with the service - Stan conveniently picked up and dropped off my laptop. Fast turn-around which is important because of how much I rely on my laptop. He reinstalled my operating system and then showed me some tips and tricks to better use Windows 10. Ill be implementing his recommendations for online storage/backup and password keeping.
Stan is a lifesaver! I needed assistance with cleaning up my work space. He took a day to purchase a PC, set it up and get me started on some great shortcuts. He is very knowledgeable and up to date on all the latest technology. Its great to know the tech guy is only a phone call awayCarol Rice, Cruise Planners
Stan has been a life-saver for me... twice. The first time, we got a terrible worm/virus on the family computer. (Even with virus protection software, it became infected.) Stan took the tower to his workshop, saved all our pictures and documents onto an external hard drive and essentially re-built our computer by reformatting the hard drive and re-installing all the software, downloading updates and uploading our family pictures and documents. He then brought the tower back to our house and made sure everything was working properly... like it never even happened.The second time, my home office computer automatically installed updates that affected my settings. Stan made a house call the same evening I called him. He adjusted my computer to the way it had been previously set-up and I was able to complete my time-sensitive reports that night.Stan is professional, friendly, helpful, and really knows his stuff.I highly recommend the Tech Guy.
I have used Stan the Tech Guy numerous times over the years. Most recently my computer was having error issues and I could not figure out why! Not only did he fix it but he also helped me to set up my desk top so it is easier to understand. Once I got into my office he also remotely set up all my printers so now I am good to go and my computer is running better than ever! I would highly recommend him if you are having any kind of commuter issues or just want to learn more tips on using your computer!
I had a number of programs and tons of documents on my slow running computer and after meeting and talking with Stan I fearfully gave him my PC. I didn’t need to worry. The computer is running much faster. He was able to get all my favorite programs up and running and no data was lost. Stan is very patient and knows his stuff. He was flexible in scheduling time to answer questions and make adjustments. I highly recommend Tech Guy.
Working with Stan was a wonderful experience. The original purpose for meeting with him was to help me sort out what type of laptop I should consider to replace my legacy MacBookPro as I am going to go with a Windows based computer. After careful consideration and taking into account what I need, I know what to buy and what to look for and will have him help me set it up and get all of my devices synced with back ups and virus protection working properly. He is extremely pleasant and efficient. The real surprise was that he got my Apple up and running after I had not been able to log in for over a year. I had taken my MacBook to the Apple store numerous times over two months to get it to run efficiently. It was now 7 years old and was told repeatedly that it was considered a legacy but I could try several upgrades, more storage, new fan and had some general clean up, etc. Nothing worked (some of which I paid for) and it was very frustrating. Then one day it just stopped and I was not up for more visits to the store, more wasted time on the phone or the sometimes condescending attitude. I get it, they just wanted me to buy a new laptop. Stan was able to determine that it indeed had been backed up to the Cloud (which I did not know), he was able to wipe it clean, put in a new operating system and I was off and running - in less than an hour! This was an inexpensive and convenient solution to getting things done. Thanks Stan!
Stan was great to work with when we were having problems with our computer.He was very knowledgeable and prompt at getting our family computer fixed when the hard drive went bad. He not only fixed our computer but he worked with us in setting up a partition which we had wanted for a while.We will definitely use the Tech Guy again for our computer needs and highly recommend him to others who are looking for a computer repair person.
As usual, Stans support was stellar. I needed my high end home theater PC loaded with a new OS to support Plex. I left the unit with Stan and he worked his magic. When I picked the machine up, not only was Windows 8 installed, he upgraded my bios, cleaned up my cabling, and troubleshot an error I was getting. The machine now runs flawlessly. Thanks as always Stan for the incredible support and attention to detail!
I have used Stan The Tech Guy for a few years, for routine maintenance, error issues or when I need to buy a new computer and he has always done a wonderful job. He gets back to me in a timely manner and makes sure to keep the down time of the computer to as little as possible.
Stan, the Tech Guy, is a great source for computer and home entertainment support and repair in and around the Sudbury area. He provides timely service for a reasonable price. Working with Stan is much more rewarding than calling and holding on a help line for hours or shipping your computer off to a service center in a distant location. Stan’s objective is to not only repair or set up your equipment but is to help you more effectively use the technology you have. I highly recommend the Tech Guy.
My printer wouldnt print, and I need this document right away. I called Stan, The Tech Guy. HELP! He did. By logging onto my computer remotely, he was able to connect my wireless printer to the new router that was just installed. And today he ousted a maleware monster that had taken over my search engine. If youre a solo business owner, even a residential customer who needs to take the SH out of IT, then call the Tech Guy.
Stan was terrific. A true professional who knows how to get your system up and running. He understands how things work, and in our situation, how to get an Internet signal throughout our house. Before Stan arrived we had no Internet on the second floor. No SONOS either. Once diagnosed, and the fix was applied, he was able to establish a strong and constant signal, and SONOS throughout the house. He also contacted me about a week later to see if everything was working to my satisfaction.Tech Guy truly cares about getting the job done correctly. He also is a funny guy and was fun to have working in our home.
Stan did a remarkable fix on my computer. He is a terrific problem solver and teacher. I have used his services twice and highly recommend him for your computer problems. I wouldnt hesitate to call him.
Stan has been involved in all aspects of technology for my home law office and our house generally---setting up computers, laptops, internet, troubleshooting connectivity issues, upgrading software, hardware, etc.! He responds to problems promptly, is patient and thorough, and never quits until the problem is solved. He not only corrects problems but looks for ways to simplify whatever I am trying to do, with the goal of my having a better experience on the computer. If you are a technophobe like me, you will appreciate Stans ability to explain and educate. He enjoys the process! I cannot recommend Stan highly enough.
I recently asked Stan to restore a MacBook Pro laptop whose hard drive had become damaged. Stan was quick to respond, professional in his communication, and he stuck to his original price estimate (even though I know the work took him longer than originally anticipated due to some complexities with the hard disk). I highly recommend working with Stan and plan to use him again for future projects. Plus its always nice to support someone whose small business is local to the community.
Many thanks to Stan.My elderly parents were hacked in a bad, bad way. Stan not only did a terrific job of getting their computer and the various accounts straightened out but he did it with great patience and compassion.Wonderful man, gifted computer technician.Highly recommended.
Stan is awesome to work with. Having just moved into our new home, there were quite a few things that needed to get set up and connected such us 4 computers, AppleTV, surround sound system and syncing garage openers to our cars. He did all that and also helped us with file storage and got all 4 of our slow running computers running like new again. He was so easy to work with and he took the time to explain what he was doing every step of the way. We highly recommend Stan for all your computer and electronic needs.
Tech Guy Stan was very helpful and proficient in fixing a Very nasty computer virus that even my Nortons 360 did not prevent. He was able take my computer, remove the problem and even restructured my data which greatly improved the startup and launch time for my applications. I would Highly recommend his services when you have the need or just want to ask questions about new programs.
I recently had occasion to avail myself of Stan Pilavins expertise concerning a problem with our current home computer system. I found Stan to be knowledgeable and informative in diagnosing the situation and resolving it. I would recommend his services to anyone having questions concerning their system or anticipating making changesto their technology or operation setup.
I am writing this unsolicited review of Stan The Tech Guy because of the excellent work he did for me. I came to Stan with an urgent need to “fix” my aging computer. What he did was far better than that.He first helped me select a new computer. He then purchased that computer for me. That way I got it more quickly without any additional cost to me. He then set up my new computer. He organized it better and made it much easier to use then my dying older computer. He then went on to synchronize the email on my new computer with the emails I receive via my iPhone and iPad.I came to Stan with a request to save my dying computer. What I got was a total solution to all the problems I had but had wrongly been willing to tolerate. His work not only upgraded my electronics, but made them all play together as one system. What a great result.I find Stan to be one of the most knowledgeable techies I know. In addition, he is prompt and reasonable in both his personality and his pricing. He is very reliable, easy to deal with and gives excellent advice. Even more noteworthy, however, is the fact that he did more than he promises to do.I rate Stan a 10 out of 10 in all categories anyone would use to judge a Tech Guy.
This was my first visit to Stan. From the outset of our first phone conversation, he was a great listener to my problem, providing some suggestions. I had been without a laptop, which is key to my small business, for about three weeks. One file was needed to complete the installation on my new computer. Stan found the specific file from the hard drive, moved it to a thumb drive and had me totally up-to-date on my new computer within a 90 minute timeframe. He sat with me and answered a bunch of menial questions that I had relative to computing and I was one my way. Easy to be with, knowledgeable, reasonably priced — I now have found the tech support service for my small business that I’ve always desired. Thanks Stan.
Stan is prompt, thorough, and patient! I am not adept at technology. He has helped me set up a new laptop and printer. As problems arise, he responds quickly, explains things simply, and never seems to get flustered. As I learn how to navigate my new laptop, it is comforting to know any problems or questions I might have are resolved with a quick email or phone call. Thank you to Stan!
I have had Stan work with me 2 times on computer issues. Besides being a really nice guy, he has a wealth of knowledge with computers. The first time he came to my home he eliminated the causes of a slow computer. He cleaned up any internal problems, changed my email account to a free one, added suggested anti virus and malware security, and, in general, fixed anything that needed updating. While doing this, he wanted to explain what he was doing and make sure I understood the benefits and changes to my computer.Now, a year later, Stan helped me with some other computer concerns. He was able to make certain corrections over the phone with me. Again his understanding of computer workings and desire to explain what he is doing and how it will benefit future use, were evident.I would definitely recommend The Tech Guy, Stan, to anyone needing computer help
Stan is a great resource for our home IT issues. He is extremely knowledgeable and incredibly responsive.
I HIGHLY recommend Stan to anyone whose business and personal needs require technology! I have 3 Apple products, none of which were syncing properly or running smoothly. In laymans terms, not tech talk, Stan was able to ask great diagnostic questions, explain what he could do to fix the problems and what it would take to do so. Although I thought I understood the problems, turns out there were several weird things going on with my devices, some of which I had just learned to live with over time with workarounds. Stan identified them as potential issues, fixed them effortlessly and left me with a much better understanding of how it all worked. Ultimately, Stan fixed a problem that the geniuses at Apple could not. I am so grateful!
A virus attacked my computer and I was unable to work. On a recommendation from a colleague I called Stan. Within 24 hours he had my system rebuilt and working even better than before the virus hit. He took a personal interest in getting it set up just the way I needed it to work. He saved the day
Not only did Stan diagnose and fix the issues, he taught me how to do it.
