Computer repair
Report
After examining your computer, I will carry out a full investigation and diagnostic check and suggest a repair solution, which I can either carry out or return your computer to you unchanged. You will be quoted a fixed price for this service, protecting you from hourly charges.

Relatively straightforward repairs can normally be completed within 48 hours, but occasionally I may require the computer for longer, especially in the case of intermittent faults or awaiting parts.

My son accidentally spilled Lucozade over my laptop which meant it wouldn't even turn on. I contacted a few shops but they all said the damage from the sugar would have ruined the motherboard and it was beyond repair. I wanted to at least salvage the data. After letting it sit for a few months I got in touch with Shaun and within 48 hours he had my laptop working again. Really happy and would recommend to everyone!

I have contacted Shaun recently because my laptop one day decided to split the screen off (literally)! As always he replied very quickly, asked me lots of questions, shown genuine interest in my problem. The reparation took overall a day as he explained to me how meticulous this process is, which I understood perfectly. I am very happy overall, my laptop closes now very smooth, looks like new and also very CLEAN! He is very professional and trustworthy. Thank you Shaun x

Wow! The friendliest, most helpful small business I have encountered this year. Shaun was swift to respond and kept me informed of options and processes all the way through. Shaun clearly appreciated that, as a fellow small business owner, I needed my laptop and it's contents back up and running quickly and literally saved me hours of work and heartache. All for a reasonable price. I am very happy to recommend Your Geek Friend to my friends and customers. Thank you, Shaun.

My son is at college in Gloucester and his laptop died. He took it in to Shaun after 5pm on Friday and he had parts ordered and fixed by the following Monday for a very reasonable price. A super friendly and helpful guy - would thoroughly recommend!

I've been in Software over 25 yrs so no novice. I set Shaun what I thought was tough challenge sorting out my laptop access. He achieved it with no queries, issues. He also upgraded to Windows 10 & accessories. He was prompt, responsive & is knowledgeable as I'm not shy to challenge or ask questions. I have other laptop issues, contacts in the trade & will use him, recommend him guaranteed. Thanks Shaun.

I had a slow old laptop that I was thinking of throwing away and buying new. Shaun assessed it over the phone and then offered to look at it for free before advising me properly. I dropped it round to him at 5.00 pm and within a few hours he had diagnosed it and provided a couple of options with quotes. Another day and we had picked up our serviced and tuned laptop that now works like it should. A professional service with great prices.

9 year old Apple MacBook Pro developed starting and operational problems. Shaun ran tests and diagnosed the problems. Repair was completed in just over a week and at a very reasonable cost. Everything now working perfectly. I highly recommend Your Geek Friend as an honest ,efficient and reasonably priced service.

I had lost all hope of repairing my laptop - it had stood unused in a box in the loft for 2 years after It had completely gone haywire and deleted all of my photos from the past 10 years ( including puppy photos of my dog who I lost tragically lost last year!) So my partner found it and took it to Shaun to see if maybe we could at least get it back up and running, even if I had to come to terms with the loss of a decades worth of memories - not only did Shaun manage to get it back up and running, updated it and replaced the old hard drive with a much more efficient one - he managed to rescue ALL of my photos!!!

I am beyond happy and grateful for his service and expertise! I have all of my fur-babies photos back and I have a laptop that runs as smooth as water! Thank you so much Shaun! I will definitely be recommending you!

I was having problems with my laptop and Your Geek Friend had been recommended to me by a friend. I had problems with the screen colour - everything was greeny/purple and it was running very very slowly. Frustrating! Picked up my laptop today and it is now running so much quicker, all malware has been cleared, new updates installed, the colours have been restored and it has had a good clean! (hardly recognised it!) Am really pleased with the friendly and speedy service. Would recommend to anyone.

I had problems with my Ipod syncing with ITunes. I took my tower and Ipod to Shaun on Friday afternoon, less than 24hrs later he contacted me to say he had sorted the problem out and it was ready for collection. Shaun is very helpful and extremely knowledgeable and I will use him again.

Problem was solved for cheaper than expected in less than a day. Once complete problem was explained at an understandable level so I knew how to not make the same mistake again. Bonus, laptop was cleaned and generally made to run slightly more efficiently even though that wasn't the problem. Absolutely fantastic help, service and cost!

My laptop wasn't working correctly due to malware, this was removed and my machine tidied up; it now runs much quicker than before. Internet browsing also much better due to an adblocker being installed. My many questions also answered in a way I could understand! Very happy, great service and value for money, all sorted by the next day. Thank you!

Shaun has helped me out twice now when I've had a problem with my computers. The first time, I was desperate and needed my computer back up and running when it was wiped out. He recovered all of my important files for which I was told were unrecoverable. Also, very last-minute, he helped me while at the airport just in time for my flight to America so I could finish some work on the flight! He's always very kind, professional with excellent value and service. Thanks again Shaun, I'll be using Your Geek Friend for life!

Had my laptop hacked through email. Phoned Shaun who suggested I not use it that night but take it to him the next morning. He completely sorted it, removed the virus and prevented further problems and fully serviced my laptop so it was working even better than before. Excellent service and such a relief as I was really panicing about being hacked but was clueless without professional help.
Dilly Walker
Brilliant service even though he could fix my hard drive through no fault if his he gave lots of advice.totally recommend. Don't go anywhere else... thanks Shaun
Kate Lankester
thank you so much for fixing my pc, it's working great now,and came back so clean! really good service provided at a very reasonable price.would recommend your geek friend to anyone with pc issues
Chris Stait
Recently moved to the area, so needed a new computer guy when my PC died (BSOD/Stop Error, leading to BIOS not booting after a couple of days). Shaun diagnosed the issue for free the same day, then quoted (very reasonably!) for the necessary work which was completed the next day (so he could ensure it did fix the problem). I'm so happy to find a tech guy I can trust. Would definitely recommend and will be using him again to upgrade my computer soon.
Graeme Healey
Yet again Shaun has come through for me with a fast, efficient, professional yet friendly drive swap on my aging laptop, and not charged a small country's defense budget either. Thanks YourGeekFriend, I shall be returning again
Flo Neave
Shaun gave a great service and has really helped speed up my refurbished MacBook. He looked at it for free before offering advice about an upgrade and even offered me money back if i wasnt happy, but luckily i am! Thanks Shaun for the great service!

John Travell
Excellent service, I took my sons "dead" laptop to Shaun, he had it diagnosed & up and running in no time at and all for a very reasonable, affordable price. Excellent communicaion along the way. In addition to the repair he was kind enough to give me the time to explain a few things to me about its workings and maintenance etc....very helpful indeed. Definately 100% recommend
