AD Computers Review--- having used the service twice in 2 years for different problems
I fully recommend this company. I have used Andrew twice and on each occasion, he was prompt and sorted out my problems explaining to me what he was doing and what to do to avoid any future problems. He also went the extra mile' and gave me a lot of other IT advice which I now use regularly. He does follow up the session and I would use him again without hesitation. I have used IT in my career running a system with 24 PC's, Laptops, Handheld devices, online back up systems and used various companies and engineers and he is undoubtedly the best I have used.

Excellent
Andrew repaired our A3 printer very promptly. His price was excellent and he gives a service with a smile. He fully deserves his Trusted Trader status

Great job, quick and good comunication
As an inmigrant student I struggled to trust service providers, many of my mates had been scammed so when I was looking for a place to sent my computer for repair I was really scared. Thinking that would cost me 300 or over and nothing would be fixed . Fir this reason I spent days looking for the perfect IT company to sent my computer. Ad website present the company as "the company next door", no fancy language, picture of himself, reviews and the offer of several services such as tutoring which favours the image of him being just a good and honest worker. I sent my email late at night and he replied quickly. He offered to pick up and return the computer in the same day. His workshop its quite far from where I live so I told him that he could just take it easy. At the collection he came right on time , was polite and friendly and offered a free case and a free UK power cable (I had a European one with a converter). Later that day he sent an email giving me the good news that everything was sorted. I couldn't believe it! Next morning he returned the computer, he explained all that was done and sent a digital invoice. Now my computer runs smoothly and I have an IT person that I trust. I will definitely recommend him to my mates.

Replace desktop with laptop and tablet
Andrew supplied a laptop and tablet suitable to my kind of usage. As always he arrived on time and equipment costs and final invoice were within budget. I have been using Andrew's services for a number of years and he continues to be very competent, helpful and patient, He explained everything really clearly and demonstrated all the changes that I was likely to experience. I now have 12 months of ongoing tech support if I need it. I would would definitely recommend Andrew for supply and repair.

Excellent Professional Service
Andrew has set up my own new computer and also recently set up my elderly fathers new computer. On both occasions he was prompt, polite , gave a clear, concise explanation of what he would do, set up printers and gave an all round excellent first class service. Nothing was too much trouble for him and I would not hesitate in recommending him. A truly excellent job done! Many Thanks.

We had purchased a new PC and needed it to be set up for us, Andrew did what we asked and explained everything to us clearly. I wouldn’t hesitate in recommending AD Computers for an efficient service carried out by a pleasant and helpful person.

New computer
Andrew quickly identified the problems slowing down my computer and clearly explained the options to remedy this. We agreed a new computer was the way forward and Andrew sourced this for me and transferred the data from my existing hard drive. I then had a new computer that, on screen, looked the same as my old one - only much quicker! Andrew is clearly an expert in his field. He is very approachable and I would certainly recommend him.

Excellent service, software and hardware
This was the 2nd time we had used Andrew. He recommended, delivered and installed a new computer to meet our needs. He explained patiently the new system on site, and later answered queries on the phone. We would heartily recommend AD computers. Thank you.

Expert, professional & honest.
I've used Andrew on quite a few occasion and received top class service every time. Knows his job inside out, cheerful, friendly and extremely likable & trustworthy too. I would have no hesitation in leaving him to work in my flat, if for any reason I had to leave....and there aren't many people I would trust to that extent. I wouldn't use anyone else.

Professional, friendly service
First of all Andrew was recommended to me via an IT professional working in other areas of technology and I could not have been more happy with his service. I needed to have data wiped from my ancient PC so I could dispose of it but wanted the data stored so I can access it. Andrew explained precisely what this entailed in layman's terms and now my spare room is de-cluttered along with my mind! Thank you Andrew.

Solved the problem
Andrew had a great personality and solved my Outlook problem and then a few more issues that had been bothering me for a few months that I had put up with. He was happy to explain why the problem had happened and he gives the guarantee if it goes wrong soon afterwards or it causes another problem he will fix that at no cost. It's great to know there is someone reliable for me to use of I have another problem. Would recommend him unreservedly.

Excellent service
I have used Andrew for many years now, he is a very reliable thoroughly professional person who is able to understand computing needs of ordinary people. He provided an excellent service when he replaced my old computer. I am sure I saved a lot of money by going to him and not the "big boys".

Best in the business
Andrew has been a wonderful computer problem solver for us. He is very easy to talk to and knows exactly what the problem is and visits as soon as he can to help. I used to have a Windows Pc but didn’t want to replace it when it needed to be replaced. Instead I bought a MacBook which was completely different and he transferred everything from the computer onto the MacBook but left the old hard drive with me in case I needed it later. He is our first port of call to do with any problems with our MacBook or televisions as he is able to figure out an answer to everything to do with technology.

Excellent work
I contacted Andrew to upgrade my computer with a solid state drive. He talked me through the process and completed the job incredibly quickly. During the process, he kept me informed and provided sound advice on which I was able to make a decision. Professional, thorough and knowledgeable.

Good value upgrade for my desktop
I first consulted Andrew to sort out a security problem that I had with both my desktop and laptop, which he fixed rapidly, and at a very reasonable price. Whilst chatting I mentioned that I thought the desktop would need replacing before long, as it was struggling a bit and slow, given that it was running a 32-bit operating system on 4MB RAM. But Andrew mentioned to me the option of upgrading my desktop as the processor was pretty fast, which hadn't occurred to me as an option. So he did this recently, fitting a solid state drive in addition to my present hard drive, uprating the system to 64-bit and doubling the RAM. All done in a couple of days, leaving the computer with him to do the work. All I was left to do was reinstall the software which was quite straight-forward. Now my computer is as fast as a brand new one, at a fraction of the cost! Great. Certainly recommended.

My review
Andrew has been our computer 'guru' for many years, installing devices and tailoring them to our specifications. He troubleshoots for us by phone, email, or a visit when necessary. We find him knowledgeable and efficient.

A trusted help when in trouble
The perfect person when something goes wrong with your computer. Will visit the house to discuss and assess the problem, take and repair the computer and quickly return and re-establish the installations, spending time to explain what has been done and how to quickly be once more up and running. He was recommended to me, his charge is quite reasonable and I would certainly recommend him to others. He is friendly, competent and a pleasure to work with.

Great work
I have been without my computer for several days - the snow delayed things and then a spare part caused a day's delay so it was great to see Andrew this morning. He replaced the broken RAM, helped me sort out a few problems and now I am back to normal and very grateful for a very professional job done.

Helpful advice on powerline wifi boosters
Andrew has given us advice on home computers on several occasions over the past 5+ years. He is most approachable, helpful and is good value. Our most recent enquiry related to Powerline WIFI boosters. Andrews advice was practical and timely and has got us set up and running quickly.

I have no hesitation in recommending Andrew Davis. Arrived promptly at the agreed time; quickly diagnosed the problem which confirmed that the printer was faulty. Spent more time with me in helping with other minor programme and back-up matters. He was a pleasure to be with. Would certainly use him again.

We have used Andrew Davies (AD Computers) many times over the last 5 years and he always does a great job. Very professional, approachable and explains computer jargon clearly and effectively. We recently had an urgent computer issue and he went the extra mile (or marathon) to advise and resolve the issues. We have no hesitation in recommending Andrew - he provide a top notch service and he is also a thoroughly good bloke and easy to talk to.

Andrew covers a large area, and comes to the house-no fix, no fee.(See website )I've found him very helpful, both fixing my PC at home, and with advice by phone and email.I've used his services about 3 times, and recommended him to my daughter,and friends; all have been very satisfied. If it can't be fixed,he will advise.
