Travis was FANTASTIC! Honest, courteous, straightforward, helpful, and didn't make me feel like I was lost when it comes to tech (although I am!). I called, he told me to come by, he had my computer in hand within 30min and I picked it up the next day! Simple large data transfer but I had some items that I had to ensure were not lost or corrupted. He handled the job like the professional that he is.

Travis was super responsive, extremely fast, and had everything back to me working one less than 5 hours. He definitely had a busy day as he fit me in between 3 other projects he was working on and had someone right after me pick up their work as well.
I had a computer that broke on a work trip and the company I brought it to for the data recovery missed pulling the only thing I really needed off of it. I explained what I needed to find and Travis had the data pilled off of the old computer and transferred to the new one AND he had the old computer working - all within 5 hours! The guys in Vegas

I started working from home about a year and a half ago and have always dreaded the possibility of needing a computer tech to make a house call, but this time I was stuck and needed help asap. I found 'I Hate Computers' through an online search. I like the fact that this is local company in my town with a brick & mortar location, and they have a lot of 5 star reviews. I called and left a message, got a response in about an hour and the house call appointment was a couple hours after. Travis arrived on time, was professional and friendly and I felt comfortable having him in my home

Travis was great and responded in less than an hour. I was totally hacked last week and could get no emails from either hotmail or outlook. He found all the hackers and how they were deferring all me emails to a conversation and then responding to them and marking them as read. I am so glad I contacted him because I had not idea how serious it was. Travis was a life saver and I would highly recommend him

Omg! Travis who is the owner of this company was amazing! He was extremely knowledgeable, professional, experienced and had the patience of a saint! I called and he immediately called me back, set up a time within a couple of hours. He fixed my computer problem by creating a new method of using the scanner. Best of all, his prices were very reasonable. If you have any computer/printer/scanner issues I very highly recommend that you use Travis at "I Hate Computers"! If I could have given him 10 stars I would have!

For this urgent repair of my rather old computer, Travis was knowledgeable, thorough and extremely competent! I was having overheating issues and zoom glitches that were shutting me down during the most inopportune moments.
I was rather anxious as the down time was negatively impacting my business, but the swift turnaround and steady, even keel of Travis' disposition were far beyond what I expected. I'm completely happy with the results and HIGHLY recommend this business!

To start, I had tried to put together a gaming computer for the first time in my life. Well things didn't go as planned and got overwhelmed by all the cables and parts that could easily be damaged if I did it wrong. I quit and called I hate computers for help. I got a fast response quote to put together my new computer. For all the work he had to do I felt the price was reasonable. The turn around time was great! I was very happy to pick it up in a few days as promised. Everything has been working fine and have had no problems at all with the system. I have future computer work planned and

My Dell laptop was locking up because I was out of hard drive space. I called Travis and he was able to give me tips to keep working and ordered a drive with 3x the space for next day delivery. I brought him the computer after my work day and got it the next morning. He understood how critical it was to have my computer and made the downtime as little as possible. He is a nice guy that seems very honest and I was happy with the price I had to pay. Definitely a shop I would use again.

When it comes to computer, I'm a fish out of water. Travis was a great help in isolating my computer problem as well as providing advice on what to do. He explained my problem in words that I could understand so that I could be a little more savvy on my own. The price was fair and the turnover rate was much faster than I would have thought; especially because of my time consuming difficulties. Highly recommend and will be back (if need be)!

SO GOOD. They just saved me $1500-$2000! :)))
Seriously wondering WHY the heck I ever went to the Apple Store to get my MacBook Pro fixed before. I wish I found this guy months ago.
Travis. Is. AWESOME.
Super responsive, knowledgeable, and so patient in his explanations to a non-techie. He made sure I understood everything that was happening with… my laptop, and what could use an upgrade but still be really affordable.
His recommendations saved me from having to invest in a new laptop, which is what the Apple guys and even some of my techie pals kept telling me to do.
The upgrade alone that

I accidentally set a magnetic stud finder on my old laptop and fried the motherboard(yeah i know, im a dummy). Travis was so knowledgeable and easy to understand, he diagnosed that the computer was long gone and had a perfect replacement laptop that i could purchase from him. It was great because he wasnt pushy and let me take a day on whether i wanted to purchase the new laptop. So i got the new laptop with a smooth a transaction and i learned a few things in the process. Travis was so awesome and helpful and i definitely recommend him for any computer problem.

Travis is an excellent communicator and was very patient in addressing the questions I had as he repaired my computer. He did the work in a very timely fashion and was beyond flexible with the pick up and drop off.
I highly recommend using them for your repair needs. I personally feel relieved that he has corrected the mistakes I made in my attempt to build my first computer.
Lastly, the work itself was very reasonably priced.

I was having issues with my computer that I was later able to identify but not able to fix myself. I searched all over the web and came across I Hate Computers. I called Travis that day and he set a time for us to met after meeting him he came up with a plan to fix my computer! He was great to work with and got everything done on time! Will definitely return in the future whenever I have more problems thank you Travis!
