Really impressed with the professionalism and ability of Preston Computer repair centre. My laptop is better and quicker than when I first bought it. It is like getting a new laptop at a great price. Thank you Steve

great service, easy to deal with, cleaned up and greatly improved the speed of our home computer it's probably faster than when it was new.
2019.08.15 07:49
Had a broken screen and the parts were not available in South Korea, they found the part and replaced it quickly. They are lovely men and are very kind, reasonably priced for the repair. They are also very very funny!!! Highly recommended
2019.04.29 20:11

2019.03.15 18:20

Reviews about «4Mat Digital»
Excellent service; I emailed regarding the issue and heard back right away. Took my laptop in and Rob explained the issues and how it would be fixed. About half an hour later, all sorted and sat down with me to explain what had been done and how to keep it working perfectly!
Highly recommend and will be going back for any issues in the future! Fantastic service, work, and communication.
Thank you so much.
2019.07.11 18:45
I came in today looking for a laptop charger that I was struggling to find elsewhere. Rob went above and beyond to help me, he even called other stores to check their stock. Really impressed with the customer service. Thanks Rob, if I need anything else, I’ll be sure to come here first!
2019.07.10 11:36
Great service - went the extra mile to find a replacement power cable for my laptop - sorted within an hour, with a positive approach and at a more than fair price.
This is a small business giving a personal service. Support it if you can!
2019.07.03 19:52
no one better. been there two times for my MacBook. great friendly service and decent prices. the only place to go to in Preston for laptop repairs.
2019.06.17 13:22
Went to Rob with my laptop. It had a software issue. He said he never had seen anything like my problem but still went out of his way and found the source of the problem the same day. Picked up the following day and everything was working perfectly.
Excellent communication given. Text me as soon as he found the problem and was vocal due to the timeframe which I would be waiting.
If I have anymore problems there isn’t anyone else I would go to in Preston!

Reviews about «CPC Farnell»
Placed an order for next day delivery for a wedding, ORDER REF: 68946438. After a week of no delivery and wedding already been passed I rang to see what happened, advisor put me through to accounts department in which they said a coulee years ago they couldn't collect the money from a previous order, so they have barred me from ordering, fair enough if this is true but a company should at least inform there customers if they are not going to send out the item or ban them from busying their products. Te accounts lady was quite inconsiderate and rude, not even an apology for taking the money and not letting me know that they weren't going to deliver the products.
2019.07.09 15:46
Upshot - no faulty parts, excellent customer service, free postage, and items were well packaged. I'll be a returning customer!
We've all been there, order something online.. It comes.. And there's a glitch. What do you do now :(, oh if only this was amazon prime or John Lewis..no quibble returns and all... But WAIT, add CPC to that list of excellent customer service companies.. which is essential for online orders.
I bought some electronic STEM parts (micro:bit cube:bit) from CPC. Had to wait a few days for deliver, but it was free after all! On setting up the cube the evening I got the package, I was sorely disappointed that it didn't work as expected. A mail to customer service that night, elicited a response the very next morning with an offer to replace or refund the item, return postage prepaid (take that amazon!).
In the end, after a decent bit of googling I figured out that one of the power jumpers on the board had to be switched from USB power to Dc jack. Rookie mistake on my part, but I am a rookie :)!
2019.03.22 00:10
I'd placed two separate online orders which is simple and straightforward, for two reasonably priced stainless steel kettles and both arrived within the expected standard delivery time. No P&P charges either. Brilliant. I'd been searching hard for a stainless steel 1L kettle which wouldn't have plastic components boiling inside, with the water. Couldn't find it in shops or online until I saw it on CPC. And it was just the size I needed too. So far, very good.
One kettle however, developed a slight fault after just over four months' use and so I e-mailed CPC describing the fault accurately with a photo attachment. Their response, four days later (no big deal), was no fuss, no quibble, most pleasant, and satisfactory but best of all, employee named Ilyas who dealt with my query, had dispatched a replacement kettle before I could even package the faulty one to send it back! Oh wow, was I impressed by their Customer Service/Sales Department's super-quick, accurate, and excellent handling of my request.
As for packaging, it was just the right and compact size; no unnecessary bulking stuff or plastic. Sufficient to protect and preserve the item within. In fact, the boxes can be re-usable or recycled.
Yes I'd certainly be placing online orders in future with CPC especially after my very first most impressive overall customer experience . Well done and thank you CPC Team :)
2019.02.16 17:58
YET AGAIN, superb service and delivery, ordered yesterday 15:42, arrived this morning 09:40, HOW DO THEY DO IT ????????
Problem free ordering, item tracking, BRILLIANT !
2019.08.09 09:01
Ordered a Bosch pressure washer suction valve hose late on on 28 May 2019, wow what a fantastic service, received purchase in great condition very well protected in its packaging, and received first thing following day (and I live up in the wilds 100 miles from cpc). Very well done, if you are thinking of purchasing from this company ...go right ahead.👍

Reviews about «Currys PC World Featuring Carphone Warehouse»
I went for beats headphones but they don't have them in stock. Currys told me they don't get things in stock anymore.. They order them in the next day. I had no idea.. I could of ordered them at home and ordered them myself. I found it odd they don't have things like that in store.. So for this reason only, I gave currys 1 star.
2019.07.27 13:42
Terrible customer service. The place was filled with more shop assistants than customers yet they were stood around talking to eachother instead of to the customers. Eventually, we got a member of staff after asking for help and the TV we were interested in wasn't available but no alternative offered.
2019.08.10 18:24
Floor Manager or interested passed me to a colleague who seemed also a bit disinterested given I was paying cash for a new cooker. More than a bit disappointed in the charges for removing d appliance and connecting new Electric cooker, only have to put wires into box already fitted 10 min job £75 EXTORTIONATE. I didn't buy the cooker. Went elsewhere.
2019.07.20 15:04
Has most electrical items required for the home and a good se6of electronics, staff are friendly and happy to help
2019.08.13 05:22
Dean delivers a sterling service. He is Uber knowledgeable, friendly, considerate, a wonderful team member, covering even for extended sick leave, with no bonus! Management should at least recognize the extra efforts made by their staff instead of thinking of themselves and their pockets!

2019.09.18 09:16
Excellent Customer Service & Very Nice Staff Very Professional & Always Service With A Smile. Would Highly Recommend. Great Little Post Office Staff Are Always Very Helpful.
2019.08.07 12:32
To the woman behind the desk with the condescending manner.
I’m sorry that we inconvenienced you today. I asked you a few simple post related questions and that clearly irritated you. You see, I don’t send letters very often, but I thought it would be nice for my 3 year old to send a picture that she’d drawn to her grandparents in France. On the way we chatted about sending the letter and she wondered if postman pat would be at the post office. Instead, when we got there you told my child off from behind the glass for playing with a bouncy ball you had on the shelves. You told her not to break it? Really?
So yeah, you ruined what could’ve been a nice memory for us. Well done 👍🏼
2019.03.25 20:29
The most helpful, polite and professional post office in Preston that I have attended. They go out of their way to help you and are so friendly. Would not go anywhere else
2018.11.19 23:01

Reviews about «Nationwide Building Society»
I went for an appointment, the staff were very friendly and made sure I was comfortable. Therefore, I am happy doing business with Nationwide again in the future.
2019.04.21 17:28
Went to ask a couple of questions face to face as opposed to online and had the most patronising individual who spoke worse than I would speak to a child. Apparently they didn't seem interested in actual human interaction
2018.11.24 12:36
Always had excellent service from the staff here and the interior layout is a doddle to navigate
2016.12.06 10:53

Reviews about «Asda Fulwood Superstore»
If I wanted to operate a till I would have applied for a job.
Not a single check out was available. I had to use a self service till.
Taking jobs off people to give to machines.
Just money grabbing, not content with destroying high streets across the nation and driving wages down - you now don't even want staff to work there.
I will never step foot in a Walmart for as long as I live!
Absolute disgrace!
2020.01.28 23:19
Went for big shop but walked out and went Sainsburys as store was freezing. Obviously no heating on no wonder it was quiet. This is disgusting and probably illegal.
2020.02.22 18:52
Good store but lack of staff on tills and the toilets had wee on the floor.
2020.03.03 15:24
Love visiting this store its great just wish our Colne store was like this store ample parking well stocked clean and helpful staff always on hand to great.
2019.11.16 16:19
Horrendous!! Fuming with the extremely bad customer service. Miserable woman(Alex) who refused to sell my daughter a 12 rated family film so i tried to purchase the film and she refused me!!!! Im 43!! My daughter ended up in tears and all my children very sad and dissapointed as they did not get to have their movie night after all as she then followed me to the music section to further stop my purchase!! Seriously what was this all about!! Very upset and will never return to this asda store again!!!!

Good friendly service but not enough staff on to deal with everyone. Came at 1:50pm when it should be quiet but there was 9 in the queue before me with 1 member of staff on.
2020.02.06 13:54
This bank is fast becoming a joke! Opened late by 5 mins this morning. So far 15 customers in the que and they have one cashier on. What a joke!
2019.09.13 08:47
I need to pay in here after closure of Royal Bank of Scotland, Fulwood.
The first time I waited outside for a full 10 minutes after opening time as their computers were down and they wouldn't even open the door to tell us this. Last week I spent a long tortuous time negotiating the chocoblock carpark, just to post a quick deposit envelope. Not too happy...
2018.11.27 09:25
This branch is now closed. It's a coffee shop now
2019.03.30 21:23
Shame it's not open on a Saturday but staff were friendly when I visited midweek.

Reviews about «RBS»
Very helpful staff so understand like all RBS banks thankyou for helping me with information
2020.02.22 07:01
All I wanted to do was ask a real person a simple question over the phone as my local branch is over 6 miles away! Unfortunately the condescending automated person defeated me, so I gave up!!
2020.02.17 16:55
Queued a small eternity (30 mins) to do something most other banks let you do within their app. This is due to there only being one counter open to actually deal with dozens of customers that were present.
2020.01.08 13:40
Even though I am disappointed that the nearest one is in town which is a bit of a pain,I have never had any other issues with this bank. I have recently come into some financial difficulties and the bank have been really helpful and understanding
2019.09.28 07:25
After banking with Royal Bank Of Scotland for nearly 40 years I am so disillusioned by the branch closures and the fact that you cannot telephone the bank direct. I wanted to make an appointment for my husband but was forced to enter various pin numbers and account numbers before I could even speak to someone.
Have I got to drive into the town pay for parking, walk across town and walk into the branch just to make an appointment ? I know online banking is popular and is great at certain times but they're still needs to be a level of customer service that suits a high amount of people. Very poor contact facilities and considering changing my bank.

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.

Yes, in addition to antivirus software, a PC repair service in Fulwood may suggest the following measures or practices to enhance computer security:
- Regularly update operating systems and software: Keeping your operating system and software up to date is crucial for security. Updates often include patches and fixes for vulnerabilities that hackers can exploit.
- Use a strong and unique password: Creating a strong password with a combination of letters, numbers, and special characters is essential. Additionally, it is recommended to use a unique password for each online account to prevent unauthorized access.
- Enable two-factor authentication (2FA): Two-factor authentication adds an extra layer of security by requiring a second verification step, such as a unique code sent to your phone, in addition to your password.
- Install a firewall: A firewall acts as a barrier between your computer and the internet, monitoring and controlling incoming and outgoing network traffic. It helps block unauthorized access and potential threats.
- Regularly backup your data: Creating regular backups of important files and data is essential in case of system failures, data loss, or ransomware attacks. Consider using cloud storage or external hard drives for backups.
- Be cautious of phishing scams: Be vigilant while opening emails, clicking on links, or downloading attachments. Phishing scams often attempt to trick users into revealing sensitive information or installing malware.
- Use a virtual private network (VPN): A VPN encrypts your internet connection, providing an extra layer of security when browsing the web, especially on public Wi-Fi networks.
- Enable automatic updates for software: Enabling automatic updates ensures that your software is always up to date, reducing the risk of vulnerabilities being exploited.
- Educate yourself about online threats: Stay informed about the latest cybersecurity threats and best practices. Regularly educate yourself on how to identify and avoid potential risks.
- Use reputable software sources: Download software and apps from trusted sources only. Avoid downloading from unverified websites or clicking on suspicious pop-ups.
