Friday last I bought an Epson XP-4100 printer from the Carlisle branch. It is a fantastic bit of kit which exceeds my already high expectations of the Epson brand. Buying from a small local business is a far better experience than the national stores ("you'll be needing 3 years insurance.") or the faceless Internet. These guys know their stuff and I'm really pleased that a friend had the kindness to recommend DTec to me. Thank you.

I purchased a gaming computer here for my sons birthday, they provided me with great advice on what i might need to play his games. A couple of days later i needed some help getting the sims game to work i gave them a call and they went into my new computer remotely and got it sorted. I asked how much i owed for this but they said it was all part of the service. My son couldn't be happier with his new computer.

I used to shop here for PC parts all the time, and until now was happy with their services, but recently my mother took her PC for a repair to the Carlisle branch, where she received a replacement hard drive, she was charged 150, i thought this seemed expensive, so after sourcing the exact model of hardware online, i found it to be worth roughly 25-30, now transferring the data over and swapping the hard drives out is a 10-20 minute job max, i know this because i've done in my own computers, so they charged 120! for labour?

I'd love them to try and justify that. I just wish she'd have came to me first, could have saved her a whole lot of money. Personally I feel like they took advantage of my not so tech savvy mother, sorry to say i will no longer be recommending their services anymore.

Just to say that on Monday Mark in Penrith was brilliant in helping me with Win10 problems on a new computer. He was really friendly, professional and interested in helping to sort out my problem. Later in the day, he phoned to say that it was sorted. Terrific service with a smile. He is a great ambassador for DTec and I will definitely go back to see him for any other problems I have. Thanks Mark.

Very friendly shop, provide you with all the answers, easy to ask questions. The pricing seems good too. I rang them once and they were easy to talk to on the phone. All in all, good service, friendly, experienced staff. I would recommend.

Came in yesterday to spec up a new build that I'm doing over the next few months, it's been years since I've built a pc from scratch and Bob was great. Explained everything and 20 mins later I was on my way home with a new case, power supply and CPU cooler that was all in stock. Great service all round.

Geoffrey Truckle
My old pc was time expired and based on reviews went to D Tec in Carlisle to replace. Great service with no pressure and a seamless transition to a new computer was the result. Have the added reassurance that these guys are there if I need them. Excellent value is the cream on the cake!
Paul Rigg
Strongly recommended. The service was extremely professional and they resolved my issues within an hour. A friendly team made you feel welcome. I would certainly use their services in future.

I took my poorly PC in to DTec in Penrith last week and the customer service has been excellent - great advice from Mark and Geoff, both of whom really know what they're doing. Doesn't look like my PC can be saved and they were concerned to make sure I didn't throw away my money on expensive repairs which might not work - I'm really pleased at how helpful they were and how they rang me regularly to give me updates.

The guys here work very hard to resolve problems quickly and in a cheerful professional manner. They fixed my computer that wouldn't start and gave me a free cable.
Jacqueline Wakelam
Excellent service. Extremely knowledgeable and very quick. Prices fair with no charge where no problem found even though time spent looking.
