Our PC had been gradually getting slower and finally reached a point where it would no longer download or install Windows updates properly. As a result, my Wife suggested that we contact Gordon and see if he could diagnose the problem. Within about half an hour (or less), he was able to fix my Wife's laptop and determine that our hard drive was on its last legs.

He recommended replacing it with a Solid State Drive and quoted us a very reasonable price for the work. Once we backed up all of our files etc., we handed the machine to Gordon and, within just 4 days, he had it back to us, working faster and better than ever. Absolutely recommended.

Following failure of my laptop hard drive I found OutTechGuy by chance through a Google search. I'm so glad I did. Gordon sorted me out quickly and efficiently and kept me fully informed of what was needed without bamboozling me with techspeak. He even managed to recover my data which has been a godsend. Would highly recommend this service without hesitation. Thank you, Gordon!

My MacBook started switching on and off. Gordon was so helpful. It could not be repaired but went out of his way to help me in getting a new computer. He kept in contact the whole time. I would definitely recommend his business.

We needed a network setting up and out new offices, so we contacted Gordon. He arrived the same day to do a quick survey and arrived punctually on the arranged day and time, the work was completed to high standard and problems other contractors caused were overcome. Very pleased with our new LAN and with this company. Happy to recommend

My laptop was struggling to switch on and I need it everyday for work. Gordon took it half an hour after I called, gave me a diagnosis the same day and repaired it quickly managing to save all my valuable data. He also helped me with storage and installed a hard drive which was more durable, cost effective and with more storage than my previous one. The laptop is better than it was when I bought it now. The cost was very reasonable and the personal touch was most appreciated.

Brilliant service, customer care and communication. Oh yes, and a fair price. Not only repairs, Gordon re-built my computer and ensured the specification was exactly what I needed. He also managed to save data from my old hard drive.

Gordon was great and thorough. He doesn't pressure you into a decision and provides all the options he can offer with a price. My laptop had a new hard drive and an upgrade in only a couple of days. Thanks very much.

Fast, efficient, professional and courteous service. Also excellent value for money. My system had a virus and everything just died 2 days before a critical work deadline. I have used this service in the past and remembered how efficient it was. I didn't panic. One phone call and a few hours later problem was sorted. Definitely recommend.

I was upset as my laptop froze with my uni work when I had a deadline coming up. Gordon was contactable late a night and gave some great advice over the phone - he then went onto fix my computer the next day and get it back to me in time to meet the deadline - he is a life saver in my eyes! What I thought was going to be extremely expensive was not - definite 5 stars from me - friendly, efficient and professional - thank you :

Gordon has been helping me with my computer and laptop problems over the last three years. He is alwyas at the end of the phone for advice (which is always free). Lately he saved me from getting scammed. I was cold called by someone rying to gain access to my computer, stating they were from Microsoft. They seemed genuine but to play safe I called Gordon who told me it was a com. Later that week I saw an article in the Chorley guardian about the same subject. Would definitely recommend Gordon OurTechGuy.

Speedy response, problem resolved, friendly service. Happy to call again.

Exemplary same day service. Arrived on time. Resolved what was, for me, a big email problem.
Gordon rebuilt and rationalised the whole system in an informative and friendly manner. Highly recommended.

Excellent, friendly and professional service. My iPad wasn't working so took it for repair. I had a response within 24 hours that all was fixed and ready for collection and very reasonable too. Would thoroughly recommend . Thank you Our TechGuy

I am very impressed with the level of service provided by Gordon. He managed to resolve some very unusual i-tunes software issues on my old laptop and basically bring it back from the dead. The laptop is running much better all round now.
Summary: Our Tech Guy - Highly recommended

when my laptop would not work I saw ourtechguy read the reviews and liked what I read. got in contact and took my laptop to his house. I was informed later that day what was wrong, a price was agreed and I had a fully working laptop back the next day. On collection Gordon took time to show me how things worked. A fantastic and very quick service.
