More communication with customer would be good, especially those for the first time. Very expensive when not knowing the total bill will be

James came and checked my desk top computer and found the CPU was overheating and tripping out. I think he should have given me the option to try and repair and not just upgrade to a newer model. I don't know much about computers, but managed to clean the cooling fans with a vacuum cleaner and now it appears to be working ok.

Hi Peter, thanks for the feedback - there's always a number of options when it comes to these kinds of issues and as with many things it's that age of question of repair or replacement. I'm sorry to hear that you felt like James didn't give you a range of options on what to do next, that's definitely the kind of advice we would expect to be given. Our GM will be in touch directly to discuss more specifics about what went on. Just an FYI too, we don't recommend using a vacuum cleaner to clean up a PC as this can cause static charge to build up which can be dangerous for the internal components. It's best to blow out any dust from the fans etc. with something like compressed air. Thanks Peter, we'll be in touch!

Hi Rex, sorry to hear you're still having issues with this - a team member of ours tried to reach out to you at the end of Jan following your previous review but he couldn't get through. We're keen to help as much as possible! Our team will try to reach out again today, otherwise you can always contact our bookings team directly on 0800 424 335 and we can organise a follow up appointment. Thanks Rex!

Hard drive was removed from premises as technician did not have parts to fix on site. Follow up information from the technician was non existent, and I had to make several phone calls over the following week to chase up progress. It took 2.5 weeks for the hard drive to be returned, and at that time I was informed that there was also a printer problem that was not diagnosed on the initial visit. Both visits to my house also only took 20 mins but an hour was charged

Hi Andrew, thanks for chatting to our General Manager over the phone today in regards to this experience. This is obviously not the service we expect so we sincerely apologise for that and we appreciate the feedback!

rushed service; did not listen to my concerns; did not bring my old computer back when asked; asked to change the appointment twice (I happily agreed to the first time); wanted me to do his job for him in activating ESET

Job No. 3232217. Son in England not impressed as audio issue was not dealt with, he agrees PC is slow but this would not cause the sound to be affected while leaving the video looking OK. Thought that trying to sell iPad to compensate was stupid as we already have one. I do agree with all our son says and trust him as he is a computer expert. We would like a return visit to sort out the sound problem without extra charge as Jacob was here for over an hour and did not solve the fault which was the reason he was asked to attend in the first place. Also he was asked to install Duo on our Samsung tablet which he did not do. We have installed this since his visit having no problem doing so and feel that he could have done this within a few seconds for us. If you are not able to sort this out we will be forced to call in another computer repair service. We definitely could not recommend your service to anyone else at the moment.

I would have expected the consultant to carry a hard drive to use to transfer data between the lap tops. I was not told I had to have one on hand and so mine was at the office and I had to buy another one!! It left me wondering if commission is paid on sales made to customers. When he said I’ll get one from the car I assumed he meant one he used on jobs, but he came back having opened a new packet. Also the job was not completed. He said I would have to transfer the music as it would take too long but also said he would transfer all docs and photos but I had to transfer my photos myself as they were left on the hard drive. Previous geek consultants have been great. Sadly not this time.

3 different techs, 2 appointments made and no one turned up. All my favourites have disappeared since this last visit so i guess someone will have to come back now to try and sort it out. Not happy this time with Geeks.

Overcharged by $500 on replacement laptop. Customer satisfaction seems secondary to their interests. Can do better!!

To be honest I was hoping that when the technician arrived I would be able to give him a brief overview of what I wanted done to my computer and then I would be able to leave him to it. Instead I felt like I needed to be in the room for the whole hour and a half and much of this time consisted of unnecessary conversation about apple products and climate change which I did not really want to hear about. Perhaps the job would have only taken 1 hour had the job been completed more efficiently. The technician also took it upon himself to sort out my wifi which wasn't really something I was having an issue with and did not ask for help with. He said the connection in my office was low so he installed an extender. This is not a bad thing, but as I mentioned, I wasn't having issues with this. On top of that, my printer was not able to be changed to the extender so now I need to chnage my computer back to the original wifi to print any way. The main issue I was having was transferring files from my iphone to my computer as an error kept coming up, instead of fixing the problem he showed me another way to transfer files from my phone to my computer, this was helpful and allowed me to get my files, but he did not address the problem I wanted fixed. He did install security software which I appreciated. We have used you guys before and had great service and I really hate making complaints, I just felt a little ripped off afterwards.

We requested help with installing a new printer/scanner (with ADF), due to a change in my email making sure emails also came to my phone and seeing if any contacts on my old email address could be retrieved. When I went to scan I was unable to so. I phoned you and Will, in 10 minutes loaded an icon which made the whole process make sense. At the same time he "altered the settings"to hugely speed up the scanning. DJ did nothing regarding the unbelievably slow scan,( which largely contributed to the long time he was here) except to say we should have bought a Brother model that you could have supplied. I still do not have emails coming to my phone. Sorry, but we feel we were seriously overcharged for the outcomes achieved.

I did not get any of the issues I wanted fixed done? I have paid for an hour of a techs time to be told it needs a more specialist person? While I understand the process, it was made clear the job when I registered it and what needed to be done. I’m left feeling like I paid 145$ to be told sorry you need someone else? Happy to speak to someone to fix this please Thank you Lisa
