We were in the awful predicament of having a computer melt-down at home – I was tearing my hair out and in “panic mode” when someone suggested we call Geeks on Wheels. With a name like that we thought they have to be very confident!
The problem with computers at home is that there is no IT backup on hand as there is in the workplace, so you feel very much on your own when something major goes wrong. I panicked, gathered myself together and rang Bill who came to the rescue very quickly. We were impressed by the immediate response and efficiency of his team.
Bill is a great advertisement for his company. Importantly, he is always on time. He has a very calm presence, he is very polite, has a quiet sense of humour and talks in plain English. ALSO he doesn't treat you as if you live on another planet and he is someone you are happy to invite into your home, which I think is quite important.
During our melt-down he was extremely efficient, tried to sort things out in the most economical way in the first instance, and was quite up front with the good news/bad news, so we always knew what the problem was and the cost of fixing it – there were no surprises. He also made sensible recommendations such as weekly backups of the whole system and we now feel, should there be problems in the future, we'll be much more confident we haven't lost any precious data.
Geeks on Wheels are a very “on to it” and helpful bunch of people – I don't feel IT-isolated any more and would certainly recommend Bill to anyone who is unfortunate enough to have computer problems. There are so many of us now with home computers and Geeks on Wheels certainly fill a much-needed niche in the market. I, for one am very grateful for the recommendation.

I am just writing to you with a quick thank you. I would like to thank you for your brilliant service and would like to take this opportunity to mention that as a home base business it is hard to find a professional computer technician who will service my computers and LAN at my place of work (home), with a high degree of competence, very good customer service and communication to boot.
You have restored my faith in the computer service industry and I will be recommending your service to any of my friends and colleagues in need, as my neighbour recommended your service to me.

Bill from Geeks on Wheels in Kapiti gave us total customer satisfaction when he recently set up our new home computer and recovered all the folders from our old, disabled one. He did so promptly, without hassle and without frightening me with techno-speak. I found Bill very pleasant to deal with; even though my computer skills are limited I could readily understand him and he did not talk at me in computer-babble nor do things with my computer that I could not follow. Our new computer is now fully up and running without the slightest hitch. He was able to recommend free products off the Internet that saved us additional costs, he made sure our computer is fully protected against viruses and intrusion, he explained how the computer works best for me, he set up the computer exactly as I wanted. We will be calling Bill next time we need any upgrades or any help, and I fully recommend him.

What a pleasure it is to receive old fashioned service, and that is exactly
what we got from Bill of "Geeks on Wheels"
We called "Geeks on Wheels" to help sort out our home computing set up and
were advised that Bill would be around to help us out at 10.00 a.m. next
day. Bill arrived precisely on time and what a pleasure it was to have him
in our home!
Bill was polite, well presented, very knowledgeable and nothing was a
problem. He worked on our computers and resolved all our problems in no time
at all, plus he suggested improvements to our system and other services that
we would benefit from at no cost.
The service from Bill was fantastic in every way and it is very rare to get
such service in today's world. We highly recommend Bill and the Team at
Geeks on Wheels and cannot be more complementary about their manner and
approach in assisting us "non-geeks" with our home computing needs.

I run a home-based editing service, and I rely on my computer system for
every aspect of my business. So when something goes wrong, I need it fixed
ASAP.
Bill from Geeks on Wheels provides this rapid, reliable service. For
example, he was here within 2 hours of my most recent HELP phone call.
Bill fixed my computer and, while he was working on it, he explained what
had happened and discussed options with me. This is an aspect of his service
that I appreciate very much -- a computer tech who can communicate with
people is rare!
