Replaced my laptop in a most timely and effective way – same day service – and showed me an analysis of the diagnostics of my old machine that clearly confirmed it was due for replacement. Very successful transfer of files and essential company information

Great service and speed. Ian upgraded my PC last week, he did a great job and was finished the same day I dropped it off

My work laptop had a faulty mousepad so went to several big chain stores looking for a solution. The best they could offer was three weeks without my computer while they sent it around the country to their real “techexperts” and charged me $120 (just to have a look). Unable to be without my computer for so long I went to PC Patch. They fixed the problem on the spot. That’s the benefit of going to a place with experts rather than salespeople in-house.

Fast, efficient, professional service. Very appreciative of Ian’s efforts in restoring a failed hard drive during lockdown. All options were fully explained and the functional laptop returned the following day. Highly recommended.

I thought of taking this opportunity to thank you and your staff for the excellent and prompt service given to me to sort out my problem. Your staff member Mark was really helpful and sorted my issue at the shortest possible time considering the urgency I had with my computer. So here I am, another happy customer….which means when I have another computer issue, I will definitely be there

PCPatch informed me about how RAM works to speedily open large files thus saving me money as it appears I don’t need to increase my RAM. The guy I spoke with was articulate describing in lay-speak how RAM works. I learned a lot and thanks PCPatch!

I used PC Patch to recover my data which was on a faulty laptop, after being told by the devices warranty repair company, that this was not possible.
From the get go, Ian provided outstanding knowledge and service, taking the time to explain what he does and how much experience he has had with data recovery over many years. After receiving very lackluster service from the warranty repair company, it was great to receive a second opinion regarding my issue.
Overall I was left with the best outcome I could have hoped for, with PC Patch recovering all of the data from my faulty laptop and without the need to send it off for forensic recovery, which meant I did not have to pay a hefty price, in order to recover all of my important documents and precious files.
The service and knowledge from Ian was second to none and I highly recommend PC Patch if you ever need a computer/laptop repaired or your lost data recovered. 5 stars!
