Laptop Repair
I had used Geeks many many years ago when they visited me at home. I have a laptop that is now quite old where the battery needed to be replaced. The keyboard was not working but it was not clear if this was a physical issue. I rang / texted and they were very helpful explaining that delays might arise with spares being delivered (and so necessitating two home visits) and that all necessary tools for the repair might not be with the visiting engineer. They therefore helped me with the ordering of the necessary parts (one of which not needed and I was able to return and get a refund). Although it was a schlep of an hour each way on the Tube they fixed everything so there was minimum downtime (which was important to me - business meant I could not be "offline" for any longer than neccessary. The "shop" is part of the Tube station with the door being 5metres from the station exit. One always wanders whether a repair is worth it for a 7 year old laptop but Geeks were perfectly happy to advise that for usage I have it will be fine for many years. Outcome: all fixed for about £200 inclusive of labour / parts and laptop is up and running perfectly. Highly recommend "Geeks" as a trusted trader

Reassuring, helpful approach
Geeks on Wheels came to our rescue when our PC failed to load and we had no backup of some important documents. They successfully recovered all the data and put it on a new portable hard drive, took out the old one and explained that this would act as a second back-up. The work was done very quickly within two days and it is really useful that they are open on a Saturday. Located very near an underground station is a real plus also. They are very responsive and helpful and reassuring on the phone and if they can't recover the data just charge an admin fee. Great service - will use again!

Great assistance with a persistent problem
Sayed solved two problems for me - one relatively easy, the other intractable that had been bugging me for a long time - the inability to transfer my photos from phone to computer; Sayed unblocked this after trying various strategies - patient, persistent, successful. Thank you

Excellent service - couldn't ask for better from Sayed at Geeks on Wheels
I called Geeks on Wheels as I had accidentally deleted my entire inbox with over 2,000 emails in it. Sayed picked up my call and was extremely efficient, kind, knowledgeable and skilled. He also waited until all my emails had been restored before ending the call which I was extremely grateful for. The service I received from Geeks on Wheels was of the highest quality and Sayed went above and beyond. I have used Geeks on Wheels many times in the past through booking a 30 minute remote session with them and I have always received the same outstanding service and would like to thank Geeks on Wheels for their invaluable help and their generosity . Nothing is too much for them and I can't recommend them highly enough.

Panic Over!
Whilst working and browsing on my laptop, I received a pop-up accompanied by loud voiceover saying that my computer locked as my IP address been accessed without authorisation and my data was no compromised. It was a scam. And I panicked! But thanks to the swift help from Sahid (and his reassurances that there was no issue and both my data and computer were safe), it was panic over. The job was done at no cost as it was a simple fix and was completed in mere minutes. However the value of the peace of mind and dealing with my panic, was priceless. I can’t thank them enough for restoring my sanity and my computer safety.

Consistent support over the years
Geeks on Wheels have been our firm's main IT support provider for the past 8 years. Without exception, whenever we have required support they have been there for us. Even more impressive, when we have an urgent outage, they seem to always find time for us - it's very impressive. Clearly the interview process is rigorous as every one of their team have a broad knowledge of every aspect of IT support; they are all polite, user friendly and professional. I would recommend GoW to anyone especially small and midsize operations.

Worthy of their reputation
I turned to Geeks (and Folco) in desperation when the work computer (that I was taking over as my own) packed up out of the blue and the IT department at my institution gave up the ghost. Being somewhat computer illiterate, I had failed to back up some very important files and contacted Folco at Geeks on Wheels as a last resort. However, true to their reputation on the Which? site they came up trumps, not only in rescuing the files but in helping me out along the way, answering all my ignorant questions with good grace and informing me at every step. My experience was first-class. They deserve their reputation. My only complaint is that they don't have an office in the north-west that I can use as and when!

Excellent Service by Geeks on Wheels
Folco, a senior technician from Geeks on Wheels was absolutely fantastic. The call started on time and he explained everything I didn't understand to me clearly and in simple terms which I understood. Folco took control of my laptop and showed me where to find files which had been saved in OneDrive as I have not used OneDrive before. He also stopped adverts from popping up incessantly on my laptop. He was sensitive, patient, kind and very knowledgeable so I can't recommend Geeks on Wheels enough for a remote IT session regarding any queries you might have. He couldn't do enough for me and the hour session I had booked with Folco was worth every penny. Thank you Folco.

Remote Session and more.
I first become aware of Geeks on Wheels when they were based in Tally Ho Corner approximately 6-7 years ago. I was always a little suspicious of computer repair shops, as the service I got in the big stores was never, particularly of a high standard. My laptop speed was causing me serious issues and out of desperation, I went to Geeks on Wheels. The service I received was outstanding. The staff were professional and took their time to explain what the issues were and what the ideal solution was, with several options. I left my laptop at the shop and returned a day later. They had installed a new SSD in my Toshiba laptop and the transformation was unbelievable. The laptop worked as if it was brand new. The speeds were incredible. Now many years later, it is still working very well. Perhaps due to old age, it has slowed down a little bit, but still much better than before. A few weeks ago, I needed some advice and work on my laptop again. Bear in mind I have not had to return to Geeks on Wheels in the meantime. Instead of attending their new premises next to Totteridge and Whetstone station, I booked a 30 minute online appointment. At the given time, the member of staff made contact with me and remotely logged on to my laptop with my permission. Within 10 minutes he had completely fixed my problem. For the remaining 20 minutes, he cleaned up my hard drive and did some maintenance, all along explaining what he was doing. In a nutshell, what a well-priced, professional service.

I have used geeks-on-wheels before and once again I received excellent support and work. My desk-top computer was refusing to work past four o'clock. I am always told the name of the person who will be coming and that person -whoever it is - always arrives on time, is polite, pleasant and actually listens to what I say without laughing at my ignorance. This time the 'Geek' also sorted out my tablet which runs on a different system and was refusing to give me a keyboard. Whether you are a techno-phobe or a techno wiz, if something is not working these are the people to go to.

What a wonderful experience, they performed his particular magic setting up my new PC and shared with me computer wisdom imparting valuable knowledge which I am sure will prove useful.

Top Level Service
The visit I had on 29th December was not the first time that I needed the help of Geeks On Wheels. My first impression of them the last time was fully backed up on this visit when my computer had again given me problems. Apart from keeping within a promised time-slot, the service I received was totally efficient due to the fact that GoW's technicians are knowledgeable and understanding of what can make computers work - and occasionally misbehave! Added to this, they are also understanding of customers and where problems can go wrong and politely give good advice on how to avoid problems in the future. Their pricing is totally fair as is their attitude to the customers. I will definitely use them again when/if needed and I will happily recommend them to others.

Annual review by remote session
I have asked Geeks on Wheels to check my PC every year for the last 10 years or so. Although disappointed that Jon had left the fold, I was delighted that Csaba Ambrus was able to pick up the mantle and quickly identify software that was compromising my hard drive. I am hoping that the malwarebytes, crystaldisk info and CCleaner will keep me and my business up and running for the next year or so. Clearing out programs and programming in daily back-up was essential, all achieved. Reassurance that my security was sufficient was also a bonus. I really appreciated the time and expertise that Csaba gave me. My only feedback would be on the booking form to notify the customer [ME!] what program software would be used to share the PC in advance. It would have saved 10 minutes of misunderstanding and confusion.

I called Geeks on Wheels and was given excellent advice and service from them and Csaba in particular. They came to my home for the initial consultation, which is at a reasonable price, and made various suggestions as to solutions. When agreeing on which option to take they were flexible and helpful and one always felt that they were trying to get it right, above everything else, rather than trying to just move on to the next client. Very trustworthy and one of the best experiences I've had when calling a company after an internet search.

Usual reliable and prompt service
We have used Geeks on Wheels for a number of years, and have always found them polite, helpful and prompt - vital when you are dealing with computer problems. While not technophobic, I am not an obsessive computer user, and I am broadly unfamiliar with even the simplest technical terms. I have found the Geeks staff unfailingly polite, patient and helpful. Our most recent experience was 10-08-2021. I phoned at 10:57, with a virus problem, a same-day appointment was arranged for 15:00. At 14:59 the technician arrived, and left just under an hour later with everything fixed, and an additional technical problem on my wife's laptop also dealt with. This latest example is entirely consistent with the level of service we have experienced over the years. I genuinely cannot recommend the Geeks too highly. And lest you think, as I tend to, that a review which sounds too good to be true probably is, I can assure you, as a retired minister of religion, that I am giving you my honest opinion.

Laptop assistance
I had received a message that my Excel acc was suspended. I wasn't sure if it was a scam or what to do about it (I'm not too computer savvy). I called geeks because they had advised me, some months ago on a new laptop when I destroyed the screen of mine. They also transferred all the data from my old to my new laptop. Their operative was very supportive and understood my level of competence. He talked me through everything he was doing and resolved the issue quickly. He also did some "tidying up" of my laptop and explained how I could use Onedrive. Since he needs remote access to my computer I had to feel confident in him. I would definitely recommend their service and security protocol.

Was having difficulty with Wi-Fi. As I did not trust myself to attempt to "fix" it as I am certain I would have done more damage than good I contacted Geeks on Wheels. They were able to arrange a technician to visit in a matter of days. The technician was not only very knowledgeable but was willing and interested in trying to get me to understand. It was (and remains) clear to me that this technician was interested in helping me with the situation rather than sell me more expensive equipment. It is a great relief that this problem was not only resolved but I have found the right organisation for all my technology queries/works etc... going forward. I found the charges to be very reasonable. I unquestionably would recommend them to any of my friends/family. I would say the best service I have ever received from any third party.

Excellent and careful work
I have used the Geeks a number of times over the years and each time I have been completely satisfied with the service: expert, helpful, friendly and punctual. The most recent call-out was to provide me with a new laptop, including transferring the data from the old one. This turned into a special, involving two visits, as I had unwittingly created two problems: an unexpectedly large quantity of data, and a large number of files with overlong titles. No problem: they took the old computer back to headquarters where they transferred all the data they could onto a different new machine with a larger capacity. The files with over-long titles which wouldn’t transfer they placed in a separate attachment which I can easily access as I work. I, therefore, have no hesitation in recommending the Geeks for the more than excellent service they provide.

Took a gamble but all worked out
Having had a stressful few weeks with IT issues at home, from where I am also trying to work, I was feeling the need to identify an IT company who could assist. I Googled and came up with Geeks on Wheels. They were fairly local, seemed to be offering the right sort of service and the feedback looked promising, but it was a bit of a gamble as I did not have a personal recommendation. Booking over the phone was easy, the technician who came, Csaba, was kind and helpful, did not rush me and was not pushy. He ended up taking my Mac away and fitting a new hard drive. The computer was returned two days later in pristine condition. He also advised that my extenders needed renewing. This morning (one week later) I had some minor issues with a new printer which were resolved within less than one hour from when I called, in an online session, with a different engineer who was equally good. I would definitely use them again and would definitely recommend to others. I feel reassured that I have now identified a company who I can call on in the future to help me with home IT issues.

We had been trying to understand and resolve our IT needs for some time, Gagandeep made the information concise and simple which made Geeks on Wheels stand out from other quotes we had which were not accessible to us either due to limited explanation or too much information that we didn't understand. We were impressed with the communication from Gagandeep and also the team via phone calls. We felt that we could trust Gagandeep and have been very happy with the service provided. We have what we need to be more effective in our roles and feel a bit more skilled with IT generally! We will continue to use Geeks on Wheels for our IT needs and would recommend their work without hesitation.

The technician Csaba Ambrus attended this morning. He did all I asked him to do and more. Exactly the sort of service I needed. Highly recommended.

Excellent work producing a positive result
Problems with my computer arose when BT upgraded my broadband package. The upgrade was successful but caused several glitches to installed computer programs that I was unable to resolve. Csaba of Home IT Support, Geeks on Wheels, came to my rescue and resolved the issues. My first impressions were positive. Csaba addressed my concerns about Covid 19 and social distancing by explaining the company's approach, the necessary precautions and the wearing of PPE. The good impressions continued. While working on my computer Csaba's professional, courteous and helpful manner ensured that I was comfortable with the amendments and changes he was making to the programs. Consequently, the visit ended with a positive result; a working computer and a satisfied customer. I would recommend Geeks on Wheels to friends and colleagues.

Well deserved 5 stars for Geeks on Wheels
I contacted Geeks on Wheels this week as I'd lost all my contacts and calendar appointments. Remote access was the first thing I tried but after over an hour they weren't able to fix the problem so they arranged a home visit for me and without asking, they immediately refunded the cost I'd paid for the remote access booking. The home visit was today and their technician, Casaba Ambrus, arrived a little before his appointment was due. It took some time for Casaba to identify the problem but his sheer determination and skills won through in the end. This is the fourth time I've used Geeks on Wheels and without hesitation, they'll be getting another 5 star rating. The quality of the company's customer service is beyond outstanding. Casaba's understanding of IT issues, his knowledge, communication skills, courtesy and sheer professionalism is something you don't experience every day. He also clearly explained what he was doing every step of the way. Because of the excellent service I've received over several years from this company, and especially from Casaba who has dealt with IT issues I've had in the past, I will without exception, use Geeks on Wheels whenever my PC is driving me up the wall. No other company will do as far as I'm concerned. I cannot recommend Geeks on Wheels highly enough.

Installing new computer
Great, reliable, fast, service. Had a new computer installed by Csaba. He was very efficient and helpful. He advised on the type of computer to be purchased. The old computer was removed and new one installed in 2 days. Csaba answered all the technical questions that I asked. He was also able to sort out the email issues that I had. Really good service.

A very reliable service, which I wholeheartedly recommend anyone needing help & support with IT. I have used this service several times in the past &
A new computer was set up for me, with patiently given and extremely clear explanations about operating it - most reassuring to someone like myself who is not technologically minded. Geeks on Wheels is an efficiently run company which confirms bookings online, & obtains the customer's agreement as to the cost of the work to be undertaken. The administrative team gives a friendly response to initial phone calls , and the engineers have always been conscientious in carrying out the work, in which they clearly enjoy using their expertise.

First Choice as Computer Engineers
First Choice. You would be extremely fortunate to find a more expert and professional team of site and remote computer engineers than Geeks on Wheels. After a disastrous and astronomically expensive experience with a local, high street computer engineer who only succeeded in losing all my data, I contacted Geeks on Wheels, who sorted me out, quite quickly. They proved excellent in all respects. Appointments are made quickly and are of two kinds: remote or personal visit, depending on the issues involved. The service is polite and professional, charged at a standard pro-rata rate, paid for when work is completed. The engineers are politeness itself and I am more than pleased at being rescued from an extremely difficult situation. Good, useful, advice too. They will be my first point of call, should I again need help or advice in this field, which undoubtedly, I will at some point.

I wish to put on record that Csaba and earlier colleagues at Geeks on Wheels have provided first class service in all respects, most recently today. I am fairly helpless when it comes to digital technology so I depend on the skills of those in whom I place my trust. Csaba and his colleagues embody professionalism at its best: the actual work, the ability to communicate and the friendliness and courtesy.

MacBook Pro screen issue
My MacBook Pro screen stopped working. It appeared to be an issue with the backlight. I took it to Anthony at Geeks on Wheels. He explained that he had seen this on another MacBook Pro last month and he felt that it could be a manufacturing issue and suggested that I contact Apple even though it was out of warranty. I spoke to Apple and he was right. Apple fixed the screen in less than a week. Anthony could have just taken the MacBook Pro in for repair and charged me £500+ for a new screen. I’ve used Geeks on Wheels before and I will certainly use them again. They provide honest advice which is so important. Thank you.

Diagnosis and fix of Comples SSD problem
Really impressed with their knowledge and capability. Very courteous and kept me informed throughout - I dealt with Csaba who was very good. I knew it would be a complex fix and I chose them based on the reviews of past difficult fixes they had done. Csaba made the initial diagnosis at my home but needed to take the laptop back to base. The call out fee was effectively waived and all work was done within the pre-agreed and reasonable fee. On returning the laptop Csaba also set it up and fixed a minor issue with my printer. They also ensured we got everything done before the Covid lockdown.

I have been using this company for over 10 years now and they never disappoint. They are super efficient, friendly and effective. More than anything they don't talk down to you when you ask really silly questions or make statements like "Well, I put the thing with the prongy thing in the back of the other thing but nothing happened?" Also I think I am a little in love with Anthony whom I have never met but who has such wonderful customer service skills and is unfailingly polite and helpful. I have used them for on-site support (taking stuff off the old computer and putting it on the new one, setting up the printer, scanner etc) and remote support (PC Health Checks). Don't waste your time trying to do it yourself - book a Geek!

Anthony and Bhumit have just helped my 11 year old son build his own gaming PC and have demonstrated what customer service is all about.

Their helpfulness was outstanding and have given my son an experience he will never forget. oh, and the pizza they had for lunch also went down really well!!!

Exceptional service!
This was my second experience of the Geeks and, if anything, it was even better than the first. I had several problems but the technician dealt competently with all of them. The main problem was that my email was being used by a spammer. The technician ran several anti-virus programmes and changed the password on the email account. As I wanted a different email address, he set one up for me and also arranged for a copy of emails sent to the old address to be forwarded to the new one. He stored the new email password for me and also dealt with a couple of other minor problems such as configuring the PC so that it can be used only by one user. All this took much longer than the hour scheduled but fortunately Geeks was able to give me the extra time I needed. I was really pleased with the service I received and recommend the Geeks wholeheartedly.

Friendly and Efficient Service
My computer died a horrible and sudden death last December - losing virtually everything (but luckily I had done recent backup). I called Geeks-on-Wheels and they came round very quickly, and very soon after that told me that the machine was beyond repair (which I believed 100%) - although they did their best to retrieve lost data. I asked them if thay had a suitable replacement that I could buy - they said that had (although they are primarily a repair firm). However there was no pressure selling and they advised me to check what else was available before buying. In the event I did buy a new computer from them - and they were very helpful in setting it up, getting my email going, etc etc. Ths was done on-site and remotely. Last week I had a problem with MS Office. This was nothing to do with the computer they sold me, but they were extremely helpful in sorting it out, which they did remotely. I was up and running again in less than an hour from calling them. Computers are so important these days I think its essential that they can be repaired quicky, either on site (much better than carting it off somewhere) or remotely if that's possible. I would definitely recommend them.

The work was delivered in a friendly and helpful way. They advised me of different ways the work could be done, and explained which would be the cheapest option. I received a phone call in advance of the visit, which gave me confidence they were clear what I needed doing. I thoroughly recommend this company. Elizabeth

Also, and very helpfully, he told me how to arrange with BT to update to a more powerful new router (which, following his advice, I have now done). This should mean I now have good wi-fi throughout the house. Altogether, an extremely satisfactory visit.

We spoke to the Geeks to discuss a slow running iMac. They recommended swapping out the hard drive for a new SSD. We dropped the computer off.

Fantastic Find
I had got myself into such a mess with my Mac: pretty much filled it up, duplicated libraries, and effectively locked myself out of any kind of activity. GoW never once treated me like the luddite I clearly am and were consistently helpful and professional. One of the team came to my house to try to fix it all but realised he needed to take the Mac away (that's how much of a mess I had made). Within a week the team had sorted my issue completely, replaced the hard drive, installed a couple of helpful apps to maintain the status quo and even talked me through how to use them. The icing on the cake was their parting offer to help over the phone if any issues arose going forward. I have already raved about Geeks on Wheels to friends and colleagues so now here is my wider audience!
