Hundreds of satisfied customers
Positive: Professionalism, Quality, Responsiveness, Value
Melvin is patient, honest, and helpful when it comes to his work. He has a depth of knowledge and does not hesitate to perfect his craft. The work ethic he delivers is overall efficient and outstanding. He has assisted me many times and I have been more than satisfied each time. I HIGHLY recommend him, you will not be disappointed!
We were looking for a way to upgrade an 4 year old pc notebook to handle the high demands of video editing. We thought about buying a used mac and even looked at the prices of new ones but settled eventually on upgrading the pc with new ram and hard drive. As an avid do it yourselfer I looked up all the parts and tools needed and was ready to dive in. By chance I called Melvin for some advice and his price was so competitive I couldn’t really pass on having a professional do it. He had our computer for 24hours and now our laptop is screaming and processing 2k video with out any glitches. Melvin was also extremely courteous and helpful. And it’s nice to meet someone who actually provides awesome prompt customer service. Thanks dude!
I phoned Melvin on Wednesday and had my computer back on Thursday fixed and ready to go. Melvin was great to deal with and his prices are very fair. Highly recommended.
My 10 years old desktop crashed without a recent backup… +5,400 emails, over 10,000 music files, 10 years of pictures, multiple documents…
After contacting Gorilla services, Melvin delivered by the next day a full recovery of my years of files and memories,
Truly diligent and excellent services delivered by a true gentleman.
honestly one of the best experiences i had as a customer. he got it done in less than 11 hours. very understanding and well mannered man. thank you for your hard work and time efficiency! 10/10
We appreciate Melvin and his dedicated service to help us with much needed PC repairs, updates, and recommendations.
Great service. Quickly answered my call and was very patient with my lack of computer knowledge. Highly recommend.
Melvin is extremely knowledgeable and talented when it comes to computers and laptops. He has saved my laptops from viruses, updated the motherboard, troubleshot technical difficulties, and saved my data from a crashing laptop.
He definitely knows his stuff and is amazingly priced.
I highly recommend him for your repairs and upgrade needs.
I am NOT a computer queen, but was able to get the assistance I needed from Melvin to get the job done. He was pleasant, polite and patient even though I had lots of questions and sometimes the same questions over and over. If everyone copies his personality when dealing with people who do not understand this technology stuff, or just need help with computer problems, this company will do extremely well and the word will get out and the people will call. Melvin, KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK. JOB WELL DONE, YOUNG MAN. GOD BLESS!!!!
Melvin is very professional. He has been working on my computers now for almost 3 years. He is dependable and will have your computer ready, when he says so or will call you and let you know if it is not ready.
He has the patience to explain to the patron what is being done in a way that anyone will understand.
Thank to this successful business man.
Regards,
Honika Plowdeniz
