What our clients have to say
I have found Chris’s advice to be very helpful. He is very patient in my case with a person who is not a ‘techie’ or a computer wiz. Chris has helped me handle some of the bumps in the road when it comes to handling what seemed to be never ending computer upgrades and changes.
I highly recommend Chris Petersen and his computer services. Chris first assisted me with a nightmare (to me) move to a new laptop & wi-fi system several years ago. Chris encountered the difficulties with patience, diligence and expertise. He has since helped me with a variety of computer questions. I find Chris to be extremely reliable, trustworthy and competent. I have also suggested his services to friends and they have been equally satisfied. I appreciate Chris’ droll sense of humor, a defin…
Chris took the hassle and uncertainly out of buying a new computer and printer by advising us where to buy, hooking things up, and even doing training. He is very security conscious and professional. Great customer service and reasonable rates. We recommend him highly for all your electronic needs.P.S. Also a ‘snappy’ dresser.
Chris Petersen has been my computer consultant for several years now and I have spread word of his skills and prices to many of my friends. I always marvel at the speed and skill that he brings to my problems – he is a miracle worker. Every time something goes wrong, I say ‘I need Chris’ and I usually get him almost immediately. He fixes it very quickly also. Highly recommended!
Having known Chris since he was a small child, it has been very rewarding to watch him develop his business over the years. Of course he has been my tech go-to guy. He has always been responsive, arriving when he said he would, knowing immediately the problems and fixing everything I needed. One of the traits most helpful to me has been his recommendations for software that would be most suitable for me. Most of all, however, is that he is a joy to have around. He is right-on when he says he i…
I was in the market looking to buy a computer and came to find Chris and I have had nothing but positive experiences with him since our first interaction. The Dell computer Chris got for me is amazing; he equipped it with all of the programs that I needed to literally just turn it on and have it up and running, ready for my use. Ever since I have had the computer, Chris has always been there to answer any and all of my questions, I really appreciate his personal customer service and the ability…
Problem: Our computer could not get on the internet. We took it to our company tech department. Comment: nothing wrong. We called Comcast. Comment: service is strong. We called Watchdog. They connected to our computer. They were patient. They found the problem, fixed the problem and we were back online in 1 hour. Now that’s our kind of repair.Moral of this story: Call Watchdog first!
You’re a rockstar!
I have used Chris Petersen for computer service on several occasions. Each time I found him to be very prompt, capable and efficient. Where some people see problems to be overcome, Chris sees challenges to be met, and he skillfully and eagerly meets them. (I suppose I shouldn’t comment on the added bonus of the piano recital you gave me, since this treat might not be included in all service packages?!)
As a retired ‘dinosaur’ I’ve come to appreciate Chris’s expertise for all areas of my personal computer and am totally comfortable that my computer is a ‘safe’ one. His reliability and values are stellar and unmatched. Sincerely, Carol B., a very satisfied client
