Ben is an A++ in my book; will continue to use Flat Rate Computer Guy for all our computer repair needs. He was fast, honest, and affordable. Great down to earth guy, straightforward with the process.

Ben worked on my Lenovo lap top and fixed my wifi connection problem, loaded Windows 10 and cleaned my computer, all for a very reasonable price. I would highly recommend Flat Rate Computer Guy and Ben for any computer problems and issues. As a side note, I was sitting in Best Buy with my lap top. It was going to be at least another hour before I got to the service counter. So I used my iPhone to do a quick search for nearby computer repair. I used Thumbtack and received an immediate reply from Ben, took my computer direct to him and got it back within 4 hours. Great Service!!

I was unable to boot my computer and suspected it was my power supply. I checked Google to locate repair shops and happened on Thumbtack. What a stroke of luck. I received a quote from Ben within a couple of minutes for a flat rate of $75. What a deal! I dropped my computer off at his house, and within an hour he called with the problem. It was that my liquid cooling system had died. At my requiest, he overnighted an upgraded cooling system. I also decided to change my mail hard drive to an SSD. The next day the parts arrived and were installed, and he cloned my hard drive, all for $75. He also did not tack on any additional on the cost of the parts. I will always contact Ben on any future computer problems I might have. I could not recommend Ben more highly!

My fathers laptop was having some serious issues and I was looking everywhere for a local repair shop but all the reviews weren't so great.. I saw that Flat Rate Computer Guy had some amazing reviews and decided to give it a shot! When I showed up Ben was very professional and explained and showed me what the issue was right away! I was expecting to hear that the repair would be about a week but it was ready the next day! Overall very great service, inexpensive and great quality job :)
