Although Erick never did any actual work he was responsive and professional enough to recommend not preparing my printer. Repair costs would have exceeded the purchase of a new one. Very honest and straightforward. Thanks, Erick

I just relocated to the Carlsbad area and am a senior woman. I needed my printer hooked up to my computer, my DVD players set up and my Alexa dot set up. Erik did it all for me and explained to me how to use my TV remote to get to my DVD player. He is fast, answers quickly and professional. I will use him again. Call if you need any IT work. Great job!

I ended up being able to troubleshoot the network issue myself in the end, but Erik was incredibly helpful and responsive in providing initial support trying to help me diagnose the issue. While I didn’t end up needing him to come out, I’ll definitely reach out again if I need assistance in the future.

I have over a decade of experience tinkering and fixing computers, smartphones, networking equipment, streaming devices, televisions, Windows/iOS problems, etc. I'm also equipped to do data backup/recovery, anti-virus/malware scan and removal.
