Sent my Computer in for wi fi connection problem. He had computer for 4 days. Preformed action that I did not request. Was able to get on the internet, BUT, the computer would not recognize my printers or Smart TV. I was able to get the TV back to the internet. Following product support instruction on how to connect the printer to the internet. Still did not recognize the printers. Tried a different router, no luck. Asked another repair store and they could not figure out what was happening. Oh, the printers were working fine before he worked on them. I was upset that he did things that I did not want. II believe that he did something that prevents the computer recognizing the printers.

I went there twice to drop off my computer and no one was there. Then I called, to find out if they were still in business and he called me back and said he would be in the next morning, so I told him I would bring my computer by. When I arrived at 9:30 the door was locked and no one was there. Sign on the door says open 9-5. Should say by appointment only.
He wasn't very pleasant on the phone. Guess he really doesn't want business. I try to support local and small businesses, so my encounter with this business was disappointing.

I want to begin learning and using Linux so I took an "old" Toshiba Satellite laptop to F1 for Help last November and asked them to install a version of Linux which could be used on these machine. Mr. Hume installed Linux Mint on this machine. The software is working perfectly!! I just need to learn how to better use this software!!

Took our older iMac in for a well overdue cleaning. Joe did a great job and explained everything he had done. The computer ran much better. Went back and had him install a solid state hard drive. Boy, WHAT A DIFFERENCE!! Joe is very knowledgeable in his field, prices are very reasonable and I will continue to use him whenever needed for our computers. I highly recommend F1 for HELP and supporting our local business.

F1 is amazing! I took my laptop in and he called me that same day with the issue. It will be fixed in a couple days and the price is so reasonable. I will never go anywhere else. My daughter works at Best Buy and they told me my laptop was too old to fix! Said I needed to buy a new one! Well not according to F1 I am so grateful I found them.

Joseph owns F1. He goes through your computer very carefully making sure everything is the way it's suppose to be. He did a better job, and it cost a whole lot less than Best Buy. I will never recommend best buy to any one. You have to call to make an appointment to bring your computer in - in a few weeks and you pay a lot of money to them.
