Techs in Cars is extraordinary. Patrick, the owner of the business, is a computer genius. Whatever I have needed to repair, update, or install, he accomplishes it quickly and correctly. A few years ago, my computer was taken over by hackers, who had access to all my financial and personal information. Patrick saved me! Recently, I moved. My computer, tablet, and phone all had to be reinstalled and connected to the internet system in our condo. Needless to say, Techs in Cars did the job. When I purchased a new computer shortly afterwards, Patrick transferred all the information to the new one. If you want anything done with your computer by a person you can trust, Techs in Cars is the only service to turn to. read more

I have been calling on Techs In Cars for home computer help since 2015. From the start Patrick has been reliable, prompt and always helpful. He helped me with my old Apple desktop several times, including upgrading it. Later he set-up my new PC laptop. When a problem arose last month I emailed him for help on a Saturday afternoon, and by next morning he had emailed me advice which I followed to resolve it. I recommend Techs In Cars to everyone needing computer help. Kenneth H read more

Each time he has been accessible [a rare trait in the PC repair industry], knowledgeable and immensely helpful. I would without hesitation refer anyone, newbie to experienced PC users, to Patrick for fast, dependable and professional computer assistance at fair/reasonable prices. read more

Honest. Prompt. Compassionate. These are the words that come to mind when I recall the work Patrick did for me. With one phone call he got in his car and came to my place to work on my old laptop. He got it going and offered great advice on what to do going forward. I will call him in the future too! read more

Outstanding. Patrick is one of the most knowledgeble techs. I have recommended to everyone who needs his service. Excellent.

Patrick was able to get my locked laptop unlocked and retrieve my data when CostCo and HP were both telling me I'd have to do a factory reset and lose my data. He was very responsive, explained things clearly, and even came to pick up and drop off my laptop, all for a reasonable price that matched his quote. I would definitely call him again for similar issues. read more

(Note, I am in DC, not NYC) I had issues with 2 laptops that are not new but didn't work. I got in touch with Patrick and his response time was amazing, right away! Then he worked with my schedule to meet me at my home, came in, knew almost right away what the problem was, took the laptops with him and within 24 hours had 1 fixed perfectly, he took the docs and pics off the older one, put them on the desktop of the newer one so I did not lose anything! Then he charged me the most reasonable price I could imagine! He was so nice, professional and I now have his number locked in my phone. Run do not walk to your phone and get Patrick to work his magic. I give him 100 stars!!!!!!! read more

I telephoned Patrick on New Year's Day and he called me back promptly, saying he would be at my house the next morning around 10am. He arrived as stated and cleaned my computer to rid it of any malware or viruses due to my stupidly falling for a scam. He made me feel completely at ease and explained exactly what had happened to me, and as a result, made me feel a little less gullible. Thank you, Patrick. You will forever be my go to person for tech support read more

I'm so happy we found this computer repair company. Patrick is great. Super quick, reliable and reasonable!

Techs in Cars can fix anything, they are honest, transparent, quick and reasonable priced. Patrick is a wiz. I do not leave reviews, but today I am making an exception. I, (we) enjoy the individualized services of coming to the worksite or home or other field location as the data problem is arising. I have relied on Techs in Cars as my sole tech service, for over 10 years. I have never been disappointed. They are a real problem solver from detecting / resolving issues such as unstable WiFi, updates - backups, installing data security, data retrieval / restores, unlock my locked up laptop and retrieving my data and transferring to my new devise. He advises on best new purchase brand, storage capacity, speed, best model (laptop, desktop, printer for my use and what vendor has it now- today and the best price)! I have utilized the pick up and drop off services several times for laptop or CPU; all fixed with in 24 hours or shorter time. I trust what ever data issue I have; Tech in Cars can trouble-shoot, repair, resolve quickly and I am on back on task. Thank you Patrick for your knowledge, service and being reasonably priced. read more

Patrick provided excellent and quick service in upgrading the memory and installing a new drive on my 4 year old desktop. Highly recommended professional. Prices were very reasonable too read more

Patrick is amazing! My laptop crashed just as I'm dealing with 4 classes and midterms. 20 minutes after speaking he was at my house and picked up my laptop. The hard drive and network adapter needed replacing which he did and upgraded my models while staying within the original quote. He also added some bells and whistles just because he's that awesome! I had my laptop back by 3pm the same day!!!! Its like having a brand new unit and its so fast and clean!! Patrick is definitely a master in his craft. Fast, reliable and affordable. He has a customer for life with me! read more

Patrick is efficient, knowledgeable and a complete professional. He very quickly diagnosed the problem with my laptop. He had it back to me, completely fixed, the same day. I can't recommend him enough. He will be the one person I will go to with any computer problems in the future! read more

Patrick is a consummate professional. He spent 20 minutes of his own time going over the issue on the phone and guiding me to try different options before he offered to come by for service. Once here, he did a comprehensive assessment and and had my WiFi issue resolved in no time. He was super transparent about his approach and his pricing. Patrick is not really knowledgeable, he's responsive and courteous. I highly recommend him. read more

My 2 year old Mac has been difficult from the start. I have had many conversations with the Apple phone people (usually very good) and the Genius Bar. I've talked to Microsoft in three countries. I have talked to WD in India. This resulted in little tweaks that helped for a short while and then failed. I shut down my computer for 10 days while I was away. When I turned it on, it only half worked. I couldn't face calling around the world again so I called Patrick down the street. He came the same day and understood the overall problem immediately. He took my computer away over night and returned it this morning fixed! A+ read more

I dreaded losing my laptop for a week or 2 with the Geek Squad, then paying a crazy fee to have them remove malware, which was what I needed done. So I called Patrick this morning at 11, and within the next 2 hours he had come to my house and completly made my computer new and working again. More than anything else, I didn't have to go anywhere, it didn't disrupt my busy day. With all the time I saved by not even having to leave the house, and he did this way faster than anywhere else I could have taken it for service, and he was way more affordable than the Geek Squad. Nevermind the fact that my house is insane with noise, with 2 loud children and dogs. My son is also potty training now, and passed me a potty filled with pee while I was talking with Patrick about my computer woes, I looked down in horror and apologized for talking for several minutes with a pan of pee in my hand (nas-T!) and he just chuckled and said he has a son too. So, moms, you don't have to leave the house, service charges are very agreeable, and he was ok with the grossness and crazyness that I feel like I spend a good amount of time apologizing about. I could not recomend this business enough. read more

I'll never go back to the Geek Squad after having Techs in Cars come to my house! Patrick came to my house on a Sunday afternoon (I don't know of anyone else that has 7 days a week house service available) and had everything resolved in a short amount time (this job required some significant troubleshooting and hardware removal/re installation & software reconfiguration). And even with a house call, I know this computer repair was far cheaper and faster than bringing my computer to any big box store that would require a week or more to complete. 5 star review and I'm always ready to support the local small business owner in Alexandria that provides great service. read more

Fantastic! Patrick came and picked up 4 of my old computers that I have had in storage for years and within 24 hours returned with over 10,000 old photos recovered on thumb drives. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!! read more

I have used Tech In Cars a number of times over the last years . We are a small business and he maintains our computers, keeps them secure, upgrades them and trouble shoots. Patrick is EXCELLENT! He is friendly, quick, efficient, knowledgeable, and very professional. I feel very comfortable having him help us. I recommend him as Five Stars. read more

HIGHLY RECOMMEND Patrick is my Go To man for computer repair and services. I have two kids, and they always manage to break their PC/MAC/phones. Patrick is always dependable, does excellent service on the machines, and doesn't charge an arm and a leg. I've had super success with him retrieving data from crashed laptops, getting out SD drives that were shoved in too far, and for my business, he set up my complete network including remote access. I can't tell you how valuable Patrick is- between my home and business needs, he has kept us going and connected! read more

I had 3 laptops that I needed scanned for viruses and then optimized to run on my network. I was originally going to use the Geek Squad, but when I called the 800 number I got someone who knew nothing about computers. On top of that they said I can bring in all of my computers where they would keep them for 3 WEEKS.... Needless to say I hung up. That is when I turned to Yelp, and called Patrick. He immediately answered his phone, and was very professional when I explained the issues I was having with my laptops. He said he could fit me in that afternoon. When he showed up he quickly diagnosed the different issues on my 3 laptops, and had them up and running within an hour. His price was VERY reasonable too! I highly recommend using Patrick, and he is now my new Tech Guru! read more

As many reviewers have stated Patrick will do an excellent job for you, whatever your need might be. He repaired a laptop for us and also a desk top. He was conscientious and professional. Just like everyone needs a fair and honest mechanic, everyone needs a fair and honest IT professional. He answered his phone promptly, reminder call before appointment time, picked up broken lap top, repaired the laptop quickly, and didn't try to to sell us unnecessary repairs. If being on time, doing a professional job, and being honest and fair is important to you, then Patrick is your guy. Highly recommend this professional. read more

Great, prompt and knowledgeable service! Patrick picked up computer and did a great recovery of data and suggested some improvements to me. Will definitely call again! read more

I found Patrick on Yelp and unfortunately he was on vacation when my 2012 iMac took a turn for the worst. He's a one man shop, it seems, so I decided to wait it out based on the reviews and glad that I did. He was able to recover my files and upgrade my hard drive once we finally did connect. Pick up and drop off of the computer was convenient and Patrick texted regularly with updates of his progress. I just wish I had remembered/been reminded of the check-in offer for 20% here on Yelp because these issues are not inexpensive to solve! read more

Exceptional to work with. Even though I was in no rush to fix my computer he worked with my schedule and was extremely fast on the turn around. Definitely will use again if the need arise. read more

I thought all was lost....my data that is! But Patrick was able to pull my data from my non-responsive hard drive. For days, I had been trying to get my laptop to boot to no avail. I called in the morning and Patrick was at my location that very afternoon. He was pleasant, knowledgeable and more importantly.... he succeeded in retrieving my data! He quoted an approximation over the phone that matched the service rendered on site. I will definitely use Techs In Cars again in the future! No more sleepless nights! Thanks Patrick! read more

Put your phone down -- stop looking for another tech. RUN . . . don't walk . . . to Techs in Cars! I have a Dell Latitude E5440 and was convinced it had a fried mother board. The machine was already boxed it up and ready for the dump when Patrick came and saved the day. I explained the issue and symptoms over the phone and he thought he could work some magic to make a repair. I didn't want to buy a new laptop, so we negotiated a price and within two hours he drove to my office to pick up the device. 24 hours later . . . the machine ran perfectly -- Patrick even installed additional memory I requested -- all within our negotiated price. It's clear this gentleman knows his stuff. After he delivered the Latitude he spent an additional 20 minutes explaining to me the nuances of the different Dell models. After explaining the equipment and listening to my usage habits, he recommended I keep the current machine for the foreseeable future. He even recommended other ways to boost system performance. Needless to say, I have Techs in Cars on speed dial. I hope I never need another computer repair again; however, if I do, I have Patrick's phone number hard-coded into my cell! Thanks Patrick! You saved the day. read more

When it comes to computers, I'm basically useless, so I looked at a few places here on yelp, came across these guys. Patrick shows up, tells me what issues I'm having almost instantly, explaining what it will take to correct the issue. I'm now up and running again. Definitely the guy I'll be calling if we ever go down again. read more

Wow what a life safer. I called Patrick yesterday afternoon and he was at my house by noon today. As we all know when you have to have your computer fixed we get desperate and will do anything. I told Patrick my problem and he fixed what Best Buy couldn't. He was in and out in less than 2 hours and recovered items that to me were priceless. He could have charged me anything but he was extremely fair. I will absolutely call him again for any problems. Thanks Patrick! read more

When my 10 year old desktop Mac decided to completely stop working, I looked online for a technician to come to my house to recover all of my data and transfer it to another computer. I found Patrick (Techs in Cars) on Yelp, and contacted him based on his excellent reviews. Patrick was immediately responsive to my request for service, came to my home and was very personable and professional. I was pleased with his work, and found his prices to be very reasonable. I would definitely use his services again.! read more

Fantastic computer repair. Today he diagnosed the problem over the phone and told me how to fix it. Have used him several times over the years with several different computers and he has always solved the problem quickly and well. Highly recommended. read more

Patrick helped me set up cable and internet connections in several rooms. He made a number of excellent suggestions as to the most efficient way to wire those rooms. He arrived early and worked diligently for several hours until he was assured that everything was installed and working correctly. Definitely would use this company again and highly recommend it for your home networking needs. read more

I have a Windows Desktop that I use to work from home and allow my Airbnb guests to surf the web on, and thus, wanted to create a guest account for them to log into. I created the account, but for some reason, it wasn't showing up on the welcome screen, and neither was the Admin. I called Techs in Cars on a Monday and spoke directly with Patrick who was able to fit me in the very next day. Patrick was able to fix the issue in literally 10 minutes for a great price. I'll be calling Techs in Cars again for all of my computer needs, thanks again! read more

had my computer's speed increase by like 3 times calling this place up. They were here as soon as I needed them to be and they finished really fast too. Appreciate the service given here and definitely would recommend it to others if they need help fixing their laptops. read more

I'm someone who tends to hold onto my computers a little longer than the tech industry would like. Why buy a new one when the one I have is perfectly fine? When a friend recommended Patrick, the price was too reasonable not to try him out. He arrived on time and got right down to business. I had spent 6 hours trying to get my Dell connected to our new wireless router. Telephone "Tech support" is a joke- ("yes, the computer is turned on...") If computers had doctors, Patrick would be a surgeon: about 15 minutes after his arrival, he unplugs the Ethernet cable and he's walking around my town home, laptop in hand, searching the Internet! He spent another 30 mins, and my beater Dell is now running like an "out of the box" computer. Totally clean. Fast. I had one other desktop computer in my closet that hadn't booted up in years. Only reason I held onto it is because my kids pictures were on the hard drive. Half hour later and he hands me a thumb drive with the "extracted data"! Almost every picture was preserved. He says he's not a magician, but the magic is having someone you can trust come into your home and get the job done for a great price. Today, whenever "control-alt-delete" doesn't work, I simply save my time and my sanity. I call Patrick. read more

They saved the machine but lost my contacts and MS Office Suite of apps. Be VERY explicit with them. I am, as you can see, disappointed.

Techs In Cars, specifically Patrick impressed me immediately with his professionalism and knowledge about computers. I have an old computer that didn't work and he trouble shot it right in front of me me. It was fixed in minutes! Aside from boot-up time and shut down time, it literally took him 10 Minutes! He recommended components that would make my computer work faster and he was so friendly that I will never go back to Best Buy for a computer issue. Tech's In Cars is where its at! Thank you, Patrick, for your exceptional service. True professional in every way. read more
