I am writing this note to let others know just how good The Tech Guy (Stan Pilavin) is.
One morning when I went to turn on my computer it did not turn on. The disk activity light blinked several times, but the screen stayed black. Neither the mouse nor the keyboard seemed to work. I tried unplugging and plugging a few times, but the computer was obviously dead.
I immediately called The Tech Guy. Fortunately for me, he had time later that same day. I brought the computer to him and within an hour, my computer was up and running again. But, that was not good enough for Stan. He went on to look around my computer. What he saw were a lot of programs I did not use. He deleted those extraneous programs and others that I did not even know were on my machine. The net result was that, when The Tech Guy was done, my computer was noticeably faster and worked better than it had recently.
But, even that was not good enough Stan. He spent time teaching me how to maintain my computer to avoid many of the problems I had been experiencing recently. Furthermore, he showed me some web sites where I could get software that would maintain my computer in its good shape. And, all this was done with pleasant conversation and a constant smile.
My experience assured me that The Tech Guy is both knowledgeable, pleasant and, lest I forget to mention it, reasonably priced.
Thanks Tech Guy.
From a satisfied customer,

Incredible service and quality of work. Came into my house to solve both computer, home network and home entertainment challenges. Creative solutions that were implemented flawlessly and rapidly at a great price. Stan is the best!

Awesome service with a personal touch. I could not have asked for more prompt service. Stan recently worked on my Mac and now I'm having an issue with my wife's PC & Stan's going to pick it up tomorrow. I wouldn't consider anyone else.
Thanks Stan, Jerry

A virus attacked my computer and I was unable to work. On a recommendation from a colleague I called Stan. Within 24 hours he had my system rebuilt and working even better than before the virus hit. He took a personal interest in getting it set up just the way I needed it to work. He saved the day!

*****

We were looking for someone to come to our house to attend to an initial problem. Stan was able to fix the problems for both of our computers, including setting up a storage backup unit, that works very well for us. We asked Stan about other issues, including certain software upgrades and he was able to make a fix on the stickiest problems.He made several helpful suggestions and instructed us on various things to make our lives easier. He is very patient, which is a wonderful characteristic when dealing with people who are a bit techno-phobic.

Stan is awesome to work with. Having just moved into our new home, there were quite a few things that needed to get set up and connected such us 4 computers, AppleTV, surround sound system and syncing garage openers to our cars. He did all that and also helped us with file storage and got all 4 of our slow running computers running like new again. He was so easy to work with and he took the time to explain what he was doing every step of the way. We highly recommend Stan for all your computer and electronic needs.

Stan "The Tech Guy" helped us get all our computers back up to perfect running condition. He was very helpful and customized what we needed for our specific technical needs. We finally have backups of all our pictures and have started to get organized on a home network. I would highly recommend Stan to any family or small business.

"Tech Guy" Stan was very helpful and proficient in fixing a Very nasty computer virus that even my Norton's 360 did not prevent. He was able take my computer, remove the problem and even restructured my data which greatly improved the startup and launch time for my applications. I would Highly recommend his services when you have the need or just want to ask questions about new programs.

Stan is very helpful. My email was not working at all and he fixed it in minutes! His patience while working and punctuality with his appointments show that he just loves helping people. And he's good at what he does! Very knowledgeable with computers.

Stan is a lifesaver! I needed assistance with cleaning up my work space. He took a day to purchase a PC, set it up and get me started on some great shortcuts. He is very knowledgeable and up to date on all the latest technology. It's great to know the tech guy is only a phone call away

Everyone needs Tech Guy. Stan took my very slow-running laptop gave it a complete technology makeover after a consultation with me. I couldn't be happier with the way he streamlined the ways in which I use my computer. Stan is very knowledgeable, patient, and tailors his advice and installations to your technology needs. When he needs to consult with you, he works with your schedule. I highly recommend Tech Guy and encourage others to contact Stan Pilavin.

I highly recommend Stan Pilavin the Tech Guy. I had a major computer malfunction and lost all of my work and personal email from the last 11/2 years. After my own attempts and the Applecare attempts, Stan was the only one who was able to restore my emails. We discussed my technology needs and he came up with several new products and that I am utilizing. He is very responsive and knowledgable and very easy to work with.

Stan made upgrading my PC a pleasure! He picked up the new PC, monitor and set everything up without a glitch. He was very helpful in making all programs run efficiently and taught me some great shortcuts and tricks. I also needed my laptop and PC networked which is something I take advantage of daily. Stan is responsive, knowledgeable, thoughtful and has integrity. I have recommended The Tech Guy many times and will continue to do so!

*****

I had a number of programs and tons of documents on my slow running computer and after meeting and talking with Stan I fearfully gave him my PC. I didn’t need to worry. The computer is running much faster. He was able to get all my favorite programs up and running and no data was lost. Stan is very patient and knows his stuff. He was flexible in scheduling time to answer questions and make adjustments. I highly recommend Tech Guy.

Stan has helped us keep our stoneage gear keep up with the times till we can upgrade. He gives us the full spectrum of options that will satisfy our family needs and goes out of his way to keep things affortable. PCs, laptops, printers, networking...Stan does it all!

*****

My email was getting out of control. I wanted to read my various email accounts on different devices but found that I was often rereading the same email on each device. Deleting them on my phone didn't delete them from my computer and vice-versa. Techguy was able to set me up so that all of my devices remained in sync. No more rereading emails or having to do multiple deletes. It's amazing how much time I am now saving every day by making this change. U highly recommend Techguy's services!

*****

Stan has been extremely helpful! He helped us with so many different ways in which to improve and maximize our use of the technology we have at the tip of our fingers. These improvements have simplified the way I spend my time on the computer and Iphone, and I love it!
There is still much more I can learn in order to further improve and simplify the way I do things, and I will be calling Stan for sure!

*****

Stan was really great and easy to work with! I appreciated the free consultation to discuss our needs and brainstorm ideas. We then prioritized and set up a plan to accomplish our goals. Stan was extremely practical and helped me with solutions that make my day to day computer use so much easier! He explained things well and I felt like I could comfortably ask questions. I would highly recommend working with the TechGuy!

*****

I purchased a new laptop and Stan helped me transfer data from my old lap top that was difficult to access. I then had him clean up my daughter's laptop that had been running very slowly. Both were done quickly and at a fair price. Stan is a great local option to have to keep up to date on changing technology requirements.

Stan cleaned up two laptops for our family and did it in record time so noone suffered technology withdrawal! He provides quick, customized and affordable service, is a super nice person and easy to talk to. He also understands that everyone's needs are different and he pays close attention to personal service!

Tech Guy Stan is a life saver! He fixed my son's printer that hooks up to his Mac, and he organized the desktop of my PC. I can now print wireless! He can make an older PC run like new again! He is reliable and affordable. I have used other services, and he is the best by far!

*****

Stan - Awesome job getting those files off the broken hard drive of my daughter's Macbook! Photos and videos from our cameras were stored there. Thought those memories were gone forever! And thinks for making my PC run so much smoother too! I'll be calling again.

*****

For personal computer needs, as well as small businesses, Tech Guy is a great alternative to big stores like Best Buy and Staples. It isn't just a "job", it is a passion. You really get a feeling of pride and ownership when you work with Tech Guy. We have had numerous tech companies try to help with our company computer issues, but none have been as quick and efficient as Tech Guy.
Thanks!
