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 People's 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 wouldn't call anyone else!

Ben and Justin at The People's Geek are truly amazing at what they do. Professional, personable, incredibly knowledge and both were more than willing to go above and beyond in helping me with all my tech needs. Can't recommend them and The People's Geek enough. Thank you both of you!

Called them about an issue with my laptop's 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 wouldn't pay that well? In any event, I have ordered a fan and will replace it myself. Received an email from them; claimed they didn't receive the message on the laptop. Well, that just returns to the 'was that because' scenarios. The

Both Josh and Ben were great and went out of their way to meet my needs. My computer has been tuned up and is running beautifully. I will definitely use them again if needed and recommend them highly.

I have used the People's 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 People's Geek!

I want to cry with gratitude when I think about Josh and the rest of the team at The People's Geek. I contacted them in Jan '18 in desperation to address a weird memory issues with my Mac. It was not an easy fix--it required a lot of research to figure out the problem was with the new operating system---and I was so worried that the cost of the fix would exceed the cost of just replacing the computer. Josh was committed to solving the problem in the spirit of a true computer geek but to ensuring that the cost was reasonable. He solved the problem, salvaged my data, and charged me far

Peoples Geek responded to a difficult situation with my desktop PC quickly and provided great service. This PC was originally Windows 8.1, had multiple upgrades to Windows 10 and ended with numerous 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 and the cost was very reasonable.

I cannot speak highly enough about their commitment to customer service and problem-solving skills. They go the extra mile to put concerned

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, I'm not sure what caused all the chaos, but we're happy to have The Peoples Geek supporting our business.

Prompt, professional, and friendly. I had a problem with my Internet service slowing down and Josh came to my house to check things out. He quickly diagnosed the issue (the modem needed to be replaced), called Time-Warner for me, talked to their technician, and patiently instructed me on how to set it up nice I had it set. Fairly priced. I highly recommend them.

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 can't 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!

Josh, you already know I'm your fan. Bunker and I have appreciated your help from the first time we brought a computer problem to your door. You have always been fair, you stand by your product, and have yet to desert me as your client list grows and you continue to prosper. I would, of course, recommend you and Ben to anyone who needs computer help. And if you ever decide to teach a course in marketing and promotion, let me know.

Josh and Ben from The People's Geek saved me hundred, if not thousands, of hours in lost data and work by recovering files from my friend 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 friend 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

These guys are great - they do both hardware and software issues, and they give great advice if you are in need because your framus is never going to work the way it's supposed to. They are sweet and willing to extend themselves to help. And did I mention effective? for me, they were.
