Honest Guy Computer Repair

This is an overdue review. I had my personal desktop repaired by Eric right after the Memorial Day weekend of 2015 (I remember the timing because of the flooding in Houston at that time).
Eric was very professional, polite, mild-​mannered, and efficient. He took the time to explain to me that there was nothing fundamentally wrong with my computer, other than the fact that it was just a bit old and slow. He recommended installing add’l processors to speed it up. I followed his advice and my computer acquired a new leg of life!
For someone who is very «low tech», Eric gave me the confidence that he would only fix the real problems rather than over-​charging me for frivolous fixes or marginally useful upgrades. So Honest Guy is a fitting name! I would definitely go back to Eric for computer related problems! Highly recommend!

Background: My husband updated his work laptop to windows 10 and it pretty much wrecked it. His applications stopped working and his computer was no longer registering simple commands. This was extremely stressful since he has all of his data off this laptop, everything is backed up in the cloud but since he doesnt have a backup desktop or laptop, it was very stressful for him to complete projects and move forward. Like everyone else’s data, my husband was very concerned about our company files and the security of data. So prior to giving his laptop to Erik, he backed it up and erased the hard-​drive. Of course, if you dont do this like 20 times your data can still be located and even after it’s still possible if someone really wants to find it… so he had a talk with Erik about his concerns and Erik walked him through everything he would do. At this point all you can do is trust Erik. And we did!
Erik completely fixed the laptop within 48hours and had reinstalled windows 10 without a hitch. The laptop is faster now than it was before. Thanks Erik! We’re glad to find someone we can finally trust with our computers.

If you have any computer issue, Erik has your back. Honest Guy is the perfect name for his business. After two visits for two different computers, he has proven he has knowledge, skill, and integrity.
My work computer was falling apart at the hinge. He was able to fix it quickly that day, and I was back up and running. Several months later my personal computer started having issues. I tried to back the data up to an external drive with very little success. Erik was able to retrieve my most critical files although the hard drive was toast. There was also a problem with the fan that he fixed as a bonus. Knowing I am on a tight budget, he helped me obtain some equipment to continue to try to save random individual files and showed me how to use it.
Computer issues can be very stressful, Honest Guy Computer Repair should be at the top of your list of solutions.

Wow, what a great discovery to find! Honest Guy is thorough, recovered my desktop that had crashed and now up and running perfectly. He saved all my critical files and then wiped the desktop clean, reinstalled and it only took me a little while to get back and running. He returned a call so promptly when I had some trouble with back up files (duh, dumb me, was there). Eric is now the go-​to guy for all my system needs. Good work!

Eric arrived at the appointment time and quickly took care of the items for my new computer and gave me some tips about Windows 8.1. Then, he looked at my old computer and confirmed what I already suspected — it needed to be wiped and Windows 7 reloaded (it’s 4 years old). Eric is very knowledgeable and confirmed that one of the virus scanning software I was using was good and the other one was not needed. He also simplified my network setup by removing an unneeded router. His fees are reasonable; he is very knowledgeable and works quickly — it doesn’t get much better than that. Eric is officially my new Computer Guy.

I was thankful to Honest Guy for the great work of restoring all 3 of my laptops. I got one back a few days after sending it off for repair. I have to admit that I did not expect them to be able to restore one of them, because a previous repair company pretty much destroyed the system (to the point that they put my information on an external hard drive and told me to part out the rest of the computer). The knowledge of the Honest Guy and his ability to make quality repair of my computer, definitely have me as a permanent customer!

These guys are solid. The drive was a bit of a pain, but service was quick, painless, and effective. Had a keyboard swapped out on my laptop. Recommended.

I called from LA asking for computer help, and Erick began to work on my computer remotely right away. He asked enough questions to be sure he knew what I wanted done, and then did the work efficiently and effectively. Can’t ask for more!

Great service, professional experience, good work, basically he did what he said he’d do. I’d recommend him and use him again for computer problems. He’s great!

A + service. Erik kept me informed every step of the way in repairing my computer. Plus a quick turn around in getting back my computer. Like the name says «Honest». Whether you’re an individual or small business you can trust all your computer needs and repairs right here. The computer repair price was very reasonable and competitive.

Had no problems what so ever post repair. Eric explained everything he did and needed to do and went above and beyond when I asked him to do a virus check. My heat sync was damaged and he replaced it for me and rain a virus scan and righted up my new power supply wiring I had installed.

I was having trouble with my office computer when I found Honest Guy. This is the perfect name for this company. Erik was professional, friendly and able to help me in a timely manner. He was even able to convince my boss into updating our system! (something I have been begging for, for years) He updated us in the most cost efficient way possible and we are so pleased. I would recommend this company for business and personal use.

Highly recommended! You really can’t go wrong here. Great prices, and even better service. I was informed every step of the way about what was going on, and he fixed my PC very quickly. Even went the extra step to update everything after a new windows install so I would be all set as son as I plugged it in. A++++ I will definitely be back if I have any other issues in the future.

Erik did a great job fixing my laptop and did it quickly and for a very fair price. My computer had viruses and other malware problems and not it works perfectly with no loss of files.

Erik did an outstanding job fixing my laptop! He was very accommodating on the times that I could drop off and pick up my laptop. He was able to resolve the problem the same day which is very important to me. Most of all, he took time to answer all of my additional questions after he fixed my laptop.

Honest Guy fixed my son’s laptop quickly, for the quoted price. He was very happy with the result, and I would use this company again.

Ive dealt with Honest Guy when they were in Los Angeles and last week I had him clean up my work PC from Texas where he is and LA where I am! Honest crew and will continue to work with them when ever I need help for my PC. Highly recommend! Xavier Fumat

This company is awesome. Working with them is like talking with a friend. They’re not belittling or arrogant. They coach you through your problem, so you understand how not to get into the same situation again.
They have a fast turnaround. And, if you’re like me, you’d find that their prices are extremely competitive, especially since they come to you.
I knew them in LA and gladly recommend them to my friends in H-​Town. Good luck with your new location!

They aren’t kidding with the name of the business. «Honest Guy Computer Repair» is about as good as they come!
Erik of Honest Guy really knows his stuff, and is extremely fair on pricing (especially when you compare him to big places like Geek Squad). I can’t describe how awesome it is to run into a business that actually cares about its customers, and doesn’t take advantage of their clientele by «inventing» problems to solve. I was pleasantly surprised by the bill, and especially by just how pleasant this company was to work with. Would definitely, definitely recommend to anyone.

Honest Guy is just that, honest. I know Erik personally and it’s great to see this business still flourish even after relocating from LA. Our loss, Houston’s gain!
Honest Guy has outstanding work ethic! Take your ailing computer here, and if it’s just too ruined then you’ll get an honest diagnosis. :o)
