Reviews about «Your Geek Friend computer repairs»
Superb service, resurrecting my son's laptop which had 'died' during his last couple of weeks at uni. Shaun got it working, gave it a thorough spring clean and fixed the chassis. Cannot recommend him highly enough. Thank you!

Excellent experience. Efficient service and very helpful. Fixed a start-up issue on my MacBook Pro and made it look like new for a bargain price. Would recommend all day long.

Spot on! Sent an email late Sunday night explaining the fault withy PS4 and got an email back the same evening outlining possible cause, solution and cost! Dropped it off Monday after work and picked it back up Tuesday after work! 24hour turnaround! These are the boys I will use in future with anything! Good work here! Thumbs up! 👍

Adam provides a top class service and its obvious that he really cares about what he does.... He sorted out a motherboard issue for me.... the work was done in a couple days.... excellent job... and for a very fair price... He even delivered it when done!!! Adam kept in touch every step of the way and responded to all my questions immediately... I couldnt be happier with this transaction.
I don't hesitate to recommend Adam and will definitely be bringing any pc repairs i may need to him in the future. Don't feel like I can sing his praises enough... Thank you so much. 10/10
2019.06.28 01:54
Needed some hardware installed in my laptop. Adam ordered the parts and installed it within only a couple of days. Will definitely go back to TheTechShopBoys for any computer needs.
2019.07.14 20:20
Have had the good fortune to use Tech Shop boys twice in recent times. The first occasion about 4 months ago Simon fixed my son's PS4. The job was done very promptly at a very reasonable rate and the system has been working faster and flawlessly since. The second time a few days ago Adam finished a custom build gaming PC for us, producing a fantastic machine with far superior specs to any advertised on Amazon or elsewhere for a much better price and in the space of only a few days. The superlative reviews that led me to give this company a try are not a coincidence. They are knowledgeable, friendly and professional. Thoroughly recommended.
2019.05.09 06:05
The Techshopboys have been providing and solving all our PC needs for a number of years now, since they started in fact......
We required a complete upgrade recently and they have not disappointed....... the new system is simply FAB. It is a custom built system for a new business and we were given a variety of options to choose from to meet the required budget. There is never any pressure to buy and we always get an honest opinion with no overselling. The new system is quick, modern and meets all our expectations.
We were kept informed of the system build at every stage and they are always on hand in the event that we have any questions or need further advice.
They are always responsive, courteous , completely professional and thoroughly nice chaps! We would not hesitate to recommend them and certainly would never consider using anyone else in the future. Donna & Andy (and Hector .... 🐶)

Dropped my Lenovo Yoga off at short notice for diagnosis & repairs. 5 business hours later I had it back fully working for a fraction of the price of anyone else. Highly recommendable. Great Service.

Steve just supplied my son with the most amazing gaming laptop. To say he was chuffed is a massive understatement. Thanks Steve for advising and setting this up for him, once again brilliant service. Very much appreciated, John Phillips

Quick, wonderful service, and Nick repairs anything!

2018.12.08 08:34
Poster states 10p per black and white page printed (which I've been charged correctly before). However my younger brother has recently been to this shop twice, both times he was purposely overcharged, having to pay £3 for 6 black and white pages. I recommend looking for a more professional shop as it appears this one will try and overcharge if they think they can get away with it
2017.04.06 12:18
Excellent customer service. I brought my PC here to be repaired. The CPU was damaged and needed some tricky work done on it, as well as a few other repairs. It would have been easy to just say that I needed a new CPU but the guys at the Loft Cyber Café got the job done at a reasonable price. I was very impressed. It was just the place I needed to take my PC to. They were very knowledgeable and I would certainly recommend them for PC repairs.

Reviews about «System Force I.T. Ltd»
Been here twice to do exams, and both times there's been a huge amount of disruption that they seem powerless to do anything about.
edit: First time they actually booked workmen to do some drilling and hammering during my exam - they warned me while I was partway through and offered some earplugs. Not how I expect an exam centre to be run.
Second time the room next to my exam room was full of rowdy blokes shouting and laughing, who were not asked to be quiet and ignored all the signs saying "Exams in progress".
In response to owner's complaint that I should ring him before leaving an accurate review of my experiences regarding his business - that's not how reviews work.
2019.03.29 15:52
Fantastic Pearson VUE test centre! Great staff & excellent quiet test room. Highly recommended!

Reviews about «NatWest»
Trust worthy and honest. Very helpful, like a family to help. Cheerful. I understand that from today that there is to be only one till to be working, it needs 2 tills, on 2 occasions I have been since Thursday last cues and waiting time is to much. This is not there fault but head office. Please change this or you will find customers will go elsewhere. Not me, as it takes me a longtime to trust people. Headoffice bring back 2 or more tills.

Reviews about «Barclays Bank»
Great staff always helpful and professional.
2019.12.31 10:31
Always helpful, personal service, as well as the usual digital machines. My favourite branch of my bank.
2019.10.05 09:02
I have not used this branch for many months as everytime I tried to use it the cash machines and IT inside were not working properly or at all. This has also resulted in cheques I have paid in being misdirected and my account being debited for cash that I tried to withdraw and that was not paid out by the machine.
This evening I relented and drove into Cirencester to use the cash machine and it was out of order again. Given how few Barclays branches there are in this area, the Bank owes it to their customers to provide a reliable service by resolving the IT issues at this branch. The service I have received for well in excess of 12 months is unacceptable.

Have been using this branch since Stonehouse closed.Now have a 9 mile round trip,nowhere to park conveniently or cheap.Always have to queue to see a cashier as they have no more than 2 in operation despite the fact that they are dealing with so many more loyal customers who previously used Stonehouse or Nailsworth prior to the closures of said branches.Get asked virtually every time I go in are you paying in ? Yes I am but I am cash only business that needs to continuously acquire coins for change.Please please sort out the long waiting times one has to endure every time you need to see a cashier,it’s a pain in the derrière to put it politely !!!

Reviews about «Santander»
If I could review Santander wholesale I would, but reviewing the branch is all I got.
Local branch is fine, when I need to go in, but trying to get the bank to admit to errors, or to treat me with respect on thd phone, is quite another matter. Rude, dismissive and only interested in forcing their error onto the customer.
2019.10.14 08:53
Nice people, but can't find a way to directly call the branch
2017.09.16 08:54
I'll give them their due, you may not get "proper" bank managers in branches anymore, but these chaps make a real effort. Quite impressed.

Reviews about «Halifax»
All the staff are lovely and helpful except a south-asian woman (late 20s?). She’s extremely rude and will forcefully take your phone from your hands without asking. Whilst trying to sort out my account and phone in-store she wouldn’t let me touch my phone or the computer. Ever single time I typed on the computer she then tried to take the mouse from me. Very condescending and would constantly speak over me. She’d ask a question then as I was about to answer, she’d answered for me and got it wrong every time. I’d then have to explain to her no that’s not what I’m after but she’d still carry on. I’ve had other problems with her when visiting the bank and try to avoid her but it’s hard. She never quite seems to know what she’s doing.

What to say about the Hong Kong-Shanghai Banking Corporation, in Stroud, well, there's the interest rate: nil, zilch, nothing. Beginning as we intend to carry on, I see. Then there's the time I lost my card, and their response was (somewhat paraphrasing) "We'll get a replacement to your address in Stroud in a week or so." The fact that when that card gets to my address in Stroud, Gloucestershire, I'm going to be in Urumqi, in China's Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region notwithstanding. "Of course there's no way we can get it to you sooner, I mean what do you want us to do, make a new one here!? This isn't Star Trek, you know."
Then we have letting me become overdrawn (it's a debit card, why is that even possible), with no attempt as far as I can tell to contact me "Nah, just stick a £5/day overdraft charge on it, that ought to get his attention."
then there's the cash point outside the branch "retaining" another card just after closing time. There's a guy standing right next to the door, whose attention I can get, but he pretty much gestures to me to piss off (feelings mutual, mate), so I have go home, negotiate one the least user friendly telephone services I've been through, and cancel the card, so no convenient money for the next week or so [aggressively sarcastic thumbs up].
And lets not forget the staff's attitude, which seems constantly set to a kind of dreary politeness; never an "oh, I'm sorry to hear that, Mr Thornton", not even an attempt to justify themselves, almost like it never ever occurs to them that what they are doing might be considered a little shoddy, which comes across as pretty rude to me.
In summary, try to avoid them if you can, I would probably have cancelled already if I didn't have too many things going through them.
2017.08.21 19:09
Convenient location for a massively corrupt, money laundering, 'too big to fail' global bank that has a hand in controlling every aspect of our lives.

I am not a customer of Barclays, thank goodness, but had reason to go in today. This is a truly awful example of a bank, I thought I'd gone back to the 70's when I walked in. Staff look miserable too, not surprised having to work here. Perhaps they are going to close it, that's why they wont modernise it?

Computer says no, kept waiting for ages trying to book an appointment to open account with this bank. Quiet glazed stares from cashiers; I walked out.

Treated like a criminal when withdrawing some travel money with security measures related to highly suspected bad guy. 11 years their Premier client and visiting this branch every month. Unfriendly, sad faces round the clock. If these clerks do jot like their job then leave please. Only positive note: Thanks to technology that you can manage machines driven deposits or withdrawals.
2019.04.01 01:26
I've been using HSBC for over 20 years and this branch for over 10 years without issue. However, I have had the misfortune of being served by Emma on a few occasions recently and found her to be rude, unhelpful and unfriendly. Her attitude is awful and I really don't need to put up with her snotty comments about my private business. Her patronising tone is uncalled for, especially when she doesn’t realise that she’s telling me the exact opposite of what she patronisingly explained to me the last time I was in. Incompetent and discourteous.
2019.04.18 19:25
The rest of the team seemed lovely however I was served by Emma who was unfriendly and unhelpful
2018.11.13 14:54
I went into a branch to enquire about their rates for general banking and mortgages.
The clerk insisted that I give details including National Insurance Number, just to be able to book an appointment. She then refused to let me know which documents I would need to bring to the appointment, unless I signed a piece of paper she had just torn to write my email address on.
I remarked that this was a lot of information, just for a prospective appointment and she proceeded to give me a look that would have been better suited on the face of one of the "Mean Girls"!
I am definitely NOT going to be banking with HSBC, as this first contact was awful, inefficient and drives me to think that every transaction will be a hassle.

If there is no decent PC repair shop in your area, send you storage device to data recovery lab from the nearest post office. You can pay for recovery services or software registration at any bank.

Data recovery in the laboratory will cost from £149 and last up to 2 weeks.
Stop using the device where you used to keep the deleted data.
Work of the operating system, installation of programs, and even the ordinary act of connecting a disk, USB drive or smartphone to the computer will create new files that might overwrite the deleted data - and thus make the recovery process impossible. The best solution would be to shut down the computer of power off your phone and outline an action plan. If turning off the device is impossible, try to use it as little as possible.
Make up a list of devices where the necessary files have been saved.
Try to remember the chain of events from creating the files to deleting them. You may have received them by email, downloaded from the Internet, or you may have created them on another PC and then brought them home on a USB drive. If the files in question are personal photos or videos, they can still be available on the memory card of your camera or smartphone. If you received the information from someone else - ask them for help. The sooner you do it the more chances you have to recover what is lost.
Use the list of devices to check them for the missing files, their backup copies or, at least, the chance to recover the deleted data from such devices.
