Disappointed
March 7, 2020

It involved an on site presence for two he days - an offer to update my computer never accomplished - my computer was compromised - no confidence that the problem was solved - and finally the charges for the "service" considered excessive - no up front discussion of the cost of the house call - bottom line not sure that my concerns and reason for my call have bee cured.

James, I reviewed the detailed tech notes. The tech attempted to update your older system to Windows 10, but was unsuccessful due the age of the system and your internet connection speed. The tech was able to remove the malware infections from both computers and reset your multiple email passwords, to help prevent future spam emails going out from your account. The compromised email account sending out spam was the reason for your initial call. The tech notes show that he recommended you upgrade your older laptops due to the security issues. Our pricing is on our website, the flat rate fees helped reduce your overall cost because the tech was there for several hours a total of two days. Should you need help setting up your new computer we would be happy to assist you.

I have used Half Price Geeks for 15+ years -- always with great success. Oliver is a wonder and very patient with my bumbling. This time I had nuked everything-- on 2 computers and he recovered it all. Thanks for saving me-- once again.

Oliver said he would call me at 3:30 (appt. Time) and right at 3:30 the phone rang. I like promptness. He was efficient, knew what he was doing, and gave me the feeling that he was interested in fixing the problem. Good Job Oliver.

Disappointed but not totally there fault
September 23, 2019

I googled the number, and called to schedule an appointment. The person on the phone informed me it was $80 per hour and usually an hour would resolve most my issues. The day of my appointment the gentleman was nice until the end of the session. He was flippant at the end. He resolved my issues fine. When paying he told me that my charge was $180. I told him I thought it was $80 per hour. He informed me virus removal was $149.00 and that "it's on our website". Didn't care for the attitude, but in the end he was correct it was when I looked. If I would have known that I had a virus I could have easily gotten ride of it myself. I probably will never use this company again, but if I do I guess you have to read there website before calling to schedule an appointment. A little heads up on the charges would be great.

Quick fix and reasonable price
August 9, 2019

They came out to fix my sound issue and printer issue. Was able to diagnose quickly and solve the problem. Friendly and informative person. Price was reasonable. Only issue was I wish they would confirm the appointment by email at least a day in advance instead of the morning of the appointment.

Malware extractor
April 30, 2019

Had malware on laptop for several months. Constant pop ups which took several minutes to close and access internet. Found service during internet search. Call was answered quickly. Staff was professional by asking questions related to issue and explaining the process of service needed to address and future recommendations. Staff called around time of appointment and walked and explained steps needed to complete mission. Computer has been working like new with much satisfaction of not having to spend time with pop ups. I don't know about cost comparison, as in my situation, the issues, time spent of staff ( not long), and convenience if not having leave home was worth it. I do recommend the company as my experience was positive in all areas.

Great Service, Great Price
April 30, 2019

My desktop needed virus removal, and most of the c-drive copied onto an external. I'm not the most tech-savvy person in the world, and Chris, at Half-Price Geeks talked me through the entire process while he did it remotely, and at the end (about four-and-a-half hours), I was very pleased with the outcome of my files, and the final charges.

Seriously overcharged
February 21, 2019

While the technician was capable, I was quoted one price for saving data from my hard drive yet charged double when the tech finished. I will not use the company again.

Upon reviewing the techician's notes I see that he performed data recovery and was able to extract data from your computer to an external hard drive. The rates quotes are consistent with the work that was performed and the time that the tech was onsite. I'm glad the tech was able to save all of your data for you.

Hlf price geeks crew very helpful
June 18, 2018

I had a very good experience with the Half price Geeks company. They helped guide me through a long and arduous rebooting of my computer after I had been a victim of an internet security scam. Oliver, the young technician who worked with me, was very cordial, helpful and patiently informed me of every aspect of the process. He went out of his way to make sure I understood what was happening and that i was completely satisfied with his work. I am very grateful for his efforts in making the whole process complete and satisfactory.
