John Compton is good. I have been using his services for about five years. He nursed my old Windows PC so I could extend it another year or so. When it got too small for my needs John put together a super fast 4-screen machine. He takes care of keeping the system clean and up to date, a task I don't like and so am no good at. He is a savior. His service is mostly done remotely. Last I saw him was installing the new machine. He is intimate with the crooks and crannies of the various support tools and diagnostics for tuning and analyzing, and when the upgrade version is needed or not. I am paranoid about loosing data, so he has several kinds of backups going. Meets my need for peace of mind. He is fast with a sharp diagnostic mind, and ingenious. I have no problem recommending him. ... Tom Budlong read more

What had happened was that I had bought a new laptop from LG (~9 months ago) and its' performance was just so weirdly slow from the time I brought it home. In particular, the proxy setting just would not turn off no matter how many times I disabled it. Plus, the PC performance was horrifically slow. Not a good sign and I did a lot of malware scans with no luck on finding any issue. Finally, I got fed up and, after a bit of research, I found Allstate. The guy at the repair shop was super nice and attentive to my observations. The end result was excellent - all the issues were fixed (proxy and computer speed) and my PC is as it should be - fast and efficient and it has been 3 months of excellent performance. Repair price was okay too. Total recommend.

I looked up local PC Repair spots and Allstates Computers had a very high rating and more importantly was actually open on the weekend unlike most of the other independent PC repair places I saw online.

He tried a few tools to get a sense of what the problem could be, talked me through the various levels of repair that we could go down, and sent me home with an initial fix that hopefully solves it without me having to buy a whole new rig. All around great service and appreciate him taking the extra time to get me an answer then and there vs just having me drop it off and then having to wait for a response. If I do end up needing to upgrade to a new system, John said he also does custom PC assembly so know where I'll be going when the time comes.
