Techs In Cars

I first met Patrick Granahan, the genius behind Techs in Cars, a few years ago when he rescued and restored my iMac. He has helped me -- no, saved me and my computer and iPad -- two additional times. After returning from a three week trip a few days ago, I tried to open my iMac, but I used the wrong password. I tried several times to change my password, but my computer refused to let me enter.

I continued and continued, but no luck. So what did I do? I called the computer whiz who has saved me before. Patrick arrived shortly and solved my problem, as I expected him to. What a knowledgeable, efficient, polite person! Techs in Cars is the ONLY computer company you should ever call.

I love my 2012 iMac, but when it developed a problem the MAC Store told me it was too vintage to work on and to buy a new computer. I contacted Patrick out of desperation, and he came the next business day to check things out. A few days later I had my Mac back, operating better than ever! He diagnosed the problem with ease, and kept me in the loop. I highly recommend him!

(Note, I am in DC, not NYC) I had issues with 2 laptops that are not new but didn't work. I got in touch with Patrick and his response time was amazing, right away! Then he worked with my schedule to meet me at my home, came in, knew almost right away what the problem was, took the laptops with him and within 24 hours had 1 fixed perfectly, he took the docs and pics off the older one, put them on the desktop of the newer one so I did not lose anything!

Then he charged me the most reasonable price I could imagine! He was so nice, professional and I now have his number locked in my phone. Run do not walk to your phone and get Patrick to work his magic. I give him 100 stars!

Patrick is a consummate professional. He spent 20 minutes of his own time going over the issue on the phone and guiding me to try different options before he offered to come by for service. Once here, he did a comprehensive assessment and and had my WiFi issue resolved in no time. He was super transparent about his approach and his pricing. Patrick is not really knowledgeable, he's responsive and courteous. I highly recommend him.

Patrick from Techs in Cars was outstanding. He was able to trouble-shoot my computer issues with me over the phone before fixing it which only took a day, and now it's running like new. He was efficient, helpful, and patient, and excellent with communication during the whole process. Highly recommended!

Patrick was able to get my locked laptop unlocked and retrieve my data when CostCo and HP were both telling me I'd have to do a factory reset and lose my data. He was very responsive, explained things clearly, and even came to pick up and drop off my laptop, all for a reasonable price that matched his quote. I would definitely call him again for similar issues.

When my 10 year old desktop Mac decided to completely stop working, I looked online for a technician to come to my house to recover all of my data and transfer it to another computer. I found Patrick (Techs in Cars) on Yelp, and contacted him based on his excellent reviews. Patrick was immediately responsive to my request for service, came to my home and was very personable and professional. I was pleased with his work, and found his prices to be very reasonable. I would definitely use his services again.!

I have used Tech In Cars a number of times over the last years. We are a small business and he maintains our computers, keeps them secure, upgrades them and trouble shoots. Patrick is EXCELLENT! He is friendly, quick, efficient, knowledgeable, and very professional. I feel very comfortable having him help us. I recommend him as Five Stars.

Fantastic computer repair. Today he diagnosed the problem over the phone and told me how to fix it. Have used him several times over the years with several different computers and he has always solved the problem quickly and well. Highly recommended.

I'm so happy we found this computer repair company. Patrick is great. Super quick, reliable and reasonable!

Patrick provided excellent and quick service in upgrading the memory and installing a new drive on my 4 year old desktop. Highly recommended professional. Prices were very reasonable too

Patrick is first rate! He picked up my laptop, which was old and had a dying keyboard, replaced the keyboard, installed a new solid-state hard drive, and upgraded it to Windows 10 in record time. The machine is positively rejuvenated and I could not be happier with the work. And the price was very reasonable. Patrick is now my go-to guy for computer issues - I give him my highest recommendation - give him your business and you won't be disappointed.

Patrick is amazing! My laptop crashed just as I'm dealing with 4 classes and midterms. 20 minutes after speaking he was at my house and picked up my laptop. The hard drive and network adapter needed replacing which he did and upgraded my models while staying within the original quote. He also added some bells and whistles just because he's that awesome!

I had my laptop back by 3pm the same day! Its like having a brand new unit and its so fast and clean! Patrick is definitely a master in his craft. Fast, reliable and affordable. He has a customer for life with me!

I thought all was lost.my data that is! But Patrick was able to pull my data from my non-responsive hard drive. For days, I had been trying to get my laptop to boot to no avail. I called in the morning and Patrick was at my location that very afternoon. He was pleasant, knowledgeable and more importantly. he succeeded in retrieving my data! He quoted an approximation over the phone that matched the service rendered on site. I will definitely use Techs In Cars again in the future! No more sleepless nights! Thanks Patrick!

As many reviewers have stated Patrick will do an excellent job for you, whatever your need might be. He repaired a laptop for us and also a desk top. He was conscientious and professional. Just like everyone needs a fair and honest mechanic, everyone needs a fair and honest IT professional. He answered his phone promptly, reminder call before appointment time, picked up broken lap top, repaired the laptop quickly, and didn't try to to sell us unnecessary repairs. If being on time, doing a professional job, and being honest and fair is important to you, then Patrick is your guy. Highly recommend this professional.

Techs in Cars (Patrick) has been my life-saver on many occasions. When I call, he comes quickly, does a first-rate job of analysis of problems, and most often finds an answer at the same time. He uses an amazing toolkit of experience and technique. His service is outstanding. His fees are very reasonable. He has gone beyond the in-home solutions and customer-care. When I needed a new/upgraded computer, he went with me to the retailer and by asking questions and giving advice, aided in the purchase and installation.

Wow what a life safer. I called Patrick yesterday afternoon and he was at my house by noon today. As we all know when you have to have your computer fixed we get desperate and will do anything. I told Patrick my problem and he fixed what Best Buy couldn't. He was in and out in less than 2 hours and recovered items that to me were priceless. He could have charged me anything but he was extremely fair. I will absolutely call him again for any problems. Thanks Patrick!

Put your phone down -- stop looking for another tech. RUN. don't walk. to Techs in Cars! I have a Dell Latitude E5440 and was convinced it had a fried mother board. The machine was already boxed it up and ready for the dump when Patrick came and saved the day. I explained the issue and symptoms over the phone and he thought he could work some magic to make a repair.

I didn't want to buy a new laptop, so we negotiated a price and within two hours he drove to my office to pick up the device. 24 hours later. the machine ran perfectly -- Patrick even installed additional memory I requested -- all within our negotiated price. It's clear this gentleman knows his stuff. After he delivered the Latitude he spent an additional 20 minutes explaining to me the nuances of the different Dell models.

After explaining the equipment and listening to my usage habits, he recommended I keep the current machine for the foreseeable future. He even recommended other ways to boost system performance. Needless to say, I have Techs in Cars on speed dial. I hope I never need another computer repair again; however, if I do, I have Patrick's phone number hard-coded into my cell! Thanks Patrick! You saved the day.

I found Patrick on Yelp and unfortunately he was on vacation when my 2012 iMac took a turn for the worst. He's a one man shop, it seems, so I decided to wait it out based on the reviews and glad that I did. He was able to recover my files and upgrade my hard drive once we finally did connect. Pick up and drop off of the computer was convenient and Patrick texted regularly with updates of his progress. I just wish I had remembered/been reminded of the check-in offer for 20% here on Yelp because these issues are not inexpensive to solve!

Techs in cars did a wonderful job with the computers in my home. We had some difficult problems surrounding slow computers, networks, and wireless connectivity. They were very responsive and showed up when promised. We were surprised at how reasonable the price was. All was easy, emailed made the appointment. Told him what we had and was looking for and we set the time.

He arrived on time, looked at all the equipment and told me what he was going to do. Set the main server for the house and networked all the home computer through that. Set the anti virus up, help improve some older computer by clearing out old software etc. Now it all runs great!

Have been using Tech n Cars for several years now--Patrick is very prompt and will provide excellent service on same day! He is very reliable and professional and always fixes my computer issues. Furthermore--he often makes great suggestions and gives great advice so that you don't have to spend more money down the road. And he is very reasonably priced! I give him 5 stars and would highly recommend his services!

I called Patrick and luckily he was at my house in half an hour, as promised. I had tried to 'convert' two computers and an Android phone from POP mail to IMAP. Well, I know just enough to be dangerous. When I was done, I was not getting any incoming mail on one account, and nothing was truly synced, which pretty much defeated the purpose.

After almost an hour on hold with my host company, Patrick & the host rep worked through the issues on the desktop and corrected my mistakes. Afterwards he made sure my laptop and phone were properly configured, then explained my options for syncing my calendar and contacts going forward. I would not hesitate to call Patrick the next time I need help. He was polite and informative without going all techspeak on me. The price was very reasonable. I wish I could give more stars.

I have used Techs In Cars for a decade. I have had nothing but the most excellent results from Patrick's very professional approach from dealing with my computer issues. Patrick has always been readily available when I have my emergency call and he does exactly what is necessary to get me back up and running in a prompt way.

I have a Windows Desktop that I use to work from home and allow my Airbnb guests to surf the web on, and thus, wanted to create a guest account for them to log into. I created the account, but for some reason, it wasn't showing up on the welcome screen, and neither was the Admin. I called Techs in Cars on a Monday and spoke directly with Patrick who was able to fit me in the very next day. Patrick was able to fix the issue in literally 10 minutes for a great price. I'll be calling Techs in Cars again for all of my computer needs, thanks again!

A lot of times, you call a local company for service on this type of stuff, and they will either be overpriced, or they will be poorly managed and seem like they really don't even want your business! Thankfully when I called Techs in Cars it was a different change of pace, because the guy who came out was friendly, they were fast and responsive, and their prices were on the cheaper side compared to other ballpark quotes I got.

Most importantly, they fixed my macbook. They got rid of spam, fixed some of the keyboard, and greatly improved the operating speed. It's been working well and hasn't relapsed so I'm grateful for the service and have been able to get a lot more work done because of it. Thanks!

Had my computer's speed increase by like 3 times calling this place up. They were here as soon as I needed them to be and they finished really fast too. Appreciate the service given here and definitely would recommend it to others if they need help fixing their laptops.

My business computer is my life and I had been dreading replacing it because of all the work involved with the programs and setups. I had put off upgrading for years and knew I was on borrowed time--To make a long story short--Time ran out and I was really in a bind. I started calling computer repair services and was either told it would take days to do what I needed to have done or I was told what I wanted could not be done.

I called Techs In Cars about noon based on the reviews here and Patrick was absolutely amazing. We chatted on the phone for about 5 minutes, answered all my questions and gave me a few options to choose from. He was at my office within an hour, took my old computer and called me back at 10AM the next day to say he would be here within 30 minutes. He came in, setup the new computer and I was running full speed within 10 minutes of his arrival.

The cost was extremely reasonable and saved me days of work trying to figure everything out on my own. Patrick is a wealth of knowledge, friendly, professional, and does what he says. I know for sure I will never call another computer person and my wife will be using him to upgrade one of her laptops. If you have computer issues, call Patrick and get it done right.

Great service and great price. I run a small business and was having trouble with a laptop freezing up. Patrick showed up and diagnosed the problem in minutes! He was able to remove some malware and speed up my computer. Since he fixed it, I've had no problems at all. He even helped me connect to my printer through the wireless network, so I no longer have a huge cable running across the floor in my office. Very satisfied customer here! If I have computer issues in the future, I'll call Patrick right away.

Don't know how many different people have serviced my laptops over the past 29 years. They aren't all equal I can tell you that much. Some don't do exactly what's requested or leave something vital off. One guy didn't return my computer for a month. Patrick Granahan, of Techs in Cars, is much different story. He had my slowed down ready to crash Hewlett Packard up, running and rocking in less than an hour.

Besides that it was the best deal I've gotten so far. Whenever I needed technical support advice he was there ready with an answer usually off the top of his head. No lame excuses or extras later on. He's where I'll be going as long as he stays available. I rarely write reviews but this came at the time of a crunch that really saved my rear end.

Patrick is as good as it gets. I just spoke with him and he was very knowledgeable and helpful. He spent the time with me to figure out the best solution was and it turns out that my laptop was still covered under warranty. He gave me the phone number of who to call. He has the highest integrity and is a pleasure to deal with. Customer for life!
