I had a computer problem and found this company via Google. I am delighted that I did. They were quick and responsive and clearly knew what they were about. My problem was quickly solved. If I need any kind of computer related advice in the future, I shall look no further.

Forgot to leave a review after a fail to service a while ago. In his defence it was a mac which he did say he was not good with. He gave it to a friend who was terrible and gave my laptop back to be damaged and un fixed claiming it wasn't his fault. Would not recommend - especially for a mac

I had a slow lenovo laptop and saw a possitive review on nextdoor app which mentioned streatham pc services and there pick-up drop off service, I was pleasently suprised that John was going to fix it onsite/at our home, (he'd cycled over to clapham common) which was excellent so I could show him first hand what my issues were and look after my clients at same time. Not only did he fix/explain what the issue was with the windows laptop but sorted out the apple mac pc update at the same time, very impressed. I would highly reccommend john and his bussiness.

I had a dead PC with a slightly unusual form factor - John quickly got the correct replacement power supply, fitted it and I was back with a working computer within the week. Quick, and good value too.

As a returning customer I am very disappointed that I paid for a problem to be resolved but then found it had not actually been fixed. I did raise it but he stopped communicating with me when I suggested bringing the laptop back. I have a life threatening illness so don't have the energy to pursue it further.

I have used John for laptop repairs, data transfers and an upgrade, for several years. He is extremely knowledgeable about all computer related matters, pleasant to deal with and reasonably priced. I can thoroughly recommend him.

John did an amazing job, when he repaired my son's laptop, which had water spilt on the keyboard, causing them not to work. I never thought it would be possible. The cost of the repair, was more than reasonable, considering the cost of a new laptop. Communication was great from start to finish, and I highly recommend that you give John a call, if you have issues with your laptop or PC.

John was amazing with my MacBook Pro. I had a busy schedule of deadlines where I really couldn't afford to have downtime without my machine. John was extremely flexible to allow minimal impact on my work. He was honest in that the job didn't turn out to be as complicated as he originally thought and so offered to charge less. People that honest are few and far between. Would gladly recommend John. In fact, we'll be using him a lot more as we grow our team in the coming months.

I phoned up Streatham PC Services & spoke to John. I booked in my laptop, was given a rough estimate and took my laptop in. John phoned me with a quote and what the problem was. He was fast & efficient on repairing my laptop and explaining in understandable terms what was wrong, what he fixed and backed up my data on my external hard drive. I felt it was good, prompt service & definitely recommend this company.

I instructed John to reset my laptop and to remove all of my mother's data / viruses from it. John talked me through the various options available to me and made sure I fully understood the consequences of my instructions. He was attentive, friendly and very accommodating. My lap top is now running a lot quicker and is not clogged up with my mother's data. I am very grateful for John's services and would happily recommend him to friends or relatives who need computer help

John is the best of professionals - he offers a great service and delivers excellent value for money at the same time. He listens to his customers' needs then goes about fulfilling them in an efficient and reassuring way. For many of us, computers are a necessary part of our lives but, when they go wrong, we are completely helpless and need to call in an expert. Trust me, you can trust John to help you out!

John eliminated the virus problems l'd been having and updated the operating system at a very reasonable cost. The PC now runs well and saved me buying a new desk top Chris Streatham Common

I cannot praise the service I received from Streatham PC Services highly enough. Not only was John a technical genius, he quickly repaired long running problems on both of my computers for a cost far cheaper than Dell and other estimates from computer repair shops in the area. After years of suffering from slow almost unworkable computers with internet contection problems, to the delight of my family, we now have two computers both of which work like a dream.
Thanks Streatham PC Services, not only were your repair costs really competitive, but you saved me hundreds of pounds as I was ready to throw in the towel and buy a couple of new computers. I don't need to now.

John solved 2 major problems: transferring al our data from an old Windows 98 computer to our new Windows 7 system and connected a very old but good quality laser printer to our new system, both of which tasks we were advised couldn't be done, saving us a great deal of time and expense. He also set up our new system, including broadband access to the internet and advised us on various Microsoft Word issues. We can recommend John without any hesitation.
