My daughters Dell laptop, which she uses for school, had an issue with the screen. We took it to Technical Merritt and had it fixed in under a week, all at a reasonable cost. Thank you John!

Really efficient and straight forward, Good prices for a screen repair. I had an iphone 8 that needed a screen repair, It was 50 instead of 57-60 at other businesses. Had the screen changed within the hour of breakage. Amazing service and great employees. Nothing but 5 star.

John resolved a list of technical issues I had with my laptop, gave me great advice in very easy to understand non-tech speak. I was seriously thinking of buying a new laptop, it was that bad. Now my laptop is working brilliantly, so much so, that all my family members have had their devices checked/upgraded. He's extremely knowledgeable and despite us having a mixed level of IT experience and skills, he managed to offer guidance and support that suited us all. Professional, knowledgeable and local and willing to go that extra mile! I was very impressed with the service we received and have no hesitation in recommending John/Technical Merritt Computer Services.

Took my 7yr old Macbook Air to John for repair and he absolutely exceeded expectations. A machine that was on its last legs is now fully refurbed & like new. Great service, great communication, great result, great value for money. Couldn't be happier. Thank you John!

A company whose name fits them to a 'T'! Their service is rendered with a spirit of excellence; an expansive knowledge of how technology works in general and the what and why in particular, when it is not working for you, the customer; along with a dedicated humility to search out and fix what's broken without charging 'an arm and a leg' for the privilege of serving you. That's their 'Technical' side.
The other side, their 'Merritt' side, is rendered with a genuine kindness that is rare to find in today's business world. When you are in your 70's, have Parkinson's, don't understand/can't explain what's wrong and are afraid to ask 'how much', heart-felt kindness, honesty without pity, and service with an attitude of genuine gratitude, Merits my business.

Was a pleasure to deal with this company. The way customer service should be done! Was kept up to date with every step of the process. Was also advised on upgrades to prolong the life of the laptop which were much more reasonable than buying a new laptop. All in all a great experience. Thanks guys.

I highly recommend John at technical Merritt. He was so helpful and the fact they don't charge if they can't fix it makes me want to get all my IT issues sorted there as I know he's trustworthy. He managed to fix a very broken chromebook and retrieved my data from an old desktop. I will be recommending him to everyone and never look anywhere else.

Looking for someone to build my Gaming PC and "Technical Merritt" did just that for me :) Found "Technical Merritt" via Google after a Local PC Building Company let me down (RL Supplies) so I emailed John about what happened and what I needed doing and when he saw the email called (with a clear English voice) and asked what needed doing. Which I then told him I needed the parts picking up, building/ windows installed and delivered back as I have no means of transport. which he understood and said was fine and asked me when am I (Myself) free so he could pick it all up as well as letting me know about the prices which was great.
Then the day came he took all the PC Parts built it all that day (whilst calling and updating me) and then the next day after testing called me to say he bring my PC back built and then did all finished and done (So I paid him) and then he said any problems to let him know. :D I'd rate John/ Technical Merritt - (10/10) Only tiny bit of "Constructive Criticism" I could give is better cable management that's it other then that 10/10 genuine guy :D All in time for Battlefield 2042 & Call of Duty Vanguard

John put together a new computer for me. Once built he spent several hours connecting all the peripheral devices, transferring data and information from my old computer to my new computer and taking me through the new software. Highly professional, excellent service with nothing too much trouble. He also helped out remotely too fixing the issue within a few seconds

I needed a new SSD fitted and data transferred from a current SSD on to the newly fitted SSD. When I spoke to John he was very personable and said not only could he get it done in two hours, but asked for my budget on the new SSD and ordered one for me. John completed all the work in the time he had stated, I picked up my PC on the same day that I dropped it off and he even gave my PC a good old clean.
When I returned to pick up my PC, John explained what he had done, navigated me to where he had backed up my data and how to delete it. He also gave me advice on cleaning a hot spot I needed to keep an eye on in the power unit and how to keep that filter clean, to protect my PC from damage. Amazing service and John went the extra mile in everything that he did. John will now be the only engineer I use for all my pc upgrades and I highly recommend him for all your PC needs. Thank you so much !

Just had my Laptop serviced as I hadnt used it for over a year it was in desperate need of updating I needed to use it while we are at home, but it was running slowly with lots of pop ups ect,
I have had it back for a few days and it is running better then it ever has, I had an issue trying to open something as I needed to update adobe, unsure how I called John at Technical Merritt and he helped me out by accessing my laptop remotely and showed me what to do. I have used them for other devices and have been given advice in the past before purchasing certain electronic devices
I would recommend Technical Merritt
