Testimonials

I called Eddie when my MacBook air had fallen into the sink. He didn't pick up but after leaving a voicemail he called me back within a few minutes. He kindly explained that while he does not do water damage repairs there were multiple other local places in town that did and listed a few places. I greatly appreciate when people are straightforward about what they do or don't do without having to go back and forth for forever, so I wanted to leave him a review for his excellent communication and kind demeanor. Thanks Eddie!

I've gone to Eddie "The Computer Guy" for the last 15 years with all of my personal computer issues. I received great service. The price was just right. The solution(s) were always reasonable and honest. My time was never wasted. Eddie's candid & straight-forward manner regarding an old or new computer scenarios/issues/questions are well received and greatly appreciated.

We were suspecting something was wrong with our computer, so installed an anti-virus protection program, which only made things worse! We found The Computer Guy online and reached out by phone. (Online "chats" are NOT helpful to us.) Eddie was SO helpful and easy to talk to, and we quickly came up with a plan. To be able to just drop off the computer, have it analyzed and receive an easy -to-understand explanation of our problems, and then have the repairs done by the next day was FANTASTIC! His fees are very reasonable and we will continue to use his services in the future. HIGHLY recommend!!

I got a totally new computer and program. taking Windows 7 to Win 11. Eddie stuck with me to walk me through the changes. He's very patient and explains well. I'm 75 and change is, well, difficult. Eddie worked well with my limits!

We've used Eddie Arthur - The Computer Guy many times over the years and his service has always been exceptional. He even helped with suggestions for ordering new computers and equipment at no charge and has answered emailed questions promptly. I highly recommend his services.

Reliable, Trustworthy, Responsive & Effective. Eddie is the real deal. I have a time critical deadline & complex business matter. My less than new laptop power port shorted & failed. Eddie managed my replacement machine, recovered all of my data from the old hard drive, migrated & restored all of my documents and records to the replacement laptop in record time. He also provided the support remotely the next day. I could not be more satisfied. I'll meet my deadline with time to spare.

I called Eddie recently to ask advice on a new laptop purchase. He called back very soon after and quickly determined my needs and what I mostly use it for. Within an amazingly short time, he emailed with some links to his recommendations that were within my price range. I'd been looking online and in stores and, as a senior who is not in the habit of doing this, was spending a lot of time and getting more confused. Eddie helped me nail it! He transferred everything from my old laptop to the new one in less than a day. What I appreciated most was that he was so patient to answer my questions and explain things clearly. He gave great advice and saved me a lot of money in that I did not have to purchase some things the larger retail shops kept telling me I needed.

Great local personal service and he got back to my right away. When Eddie showed up to my house he told me he lived just a mile or so away and we ended up having a lot in common. He made me feel comfortable right away and his rates were very fair. Eddie went above and beyond accommodating my special needs like no one else could or would!! The Computer Guy is your go to in Northern Colorado.

Eddie was really friendly and did an amazing job restoring my laptop. He had it done in a matter of hours and the price was well below what I expected it to be, given the general cost of the tech world. I absolutely recommend The Computer Guy!

Eddie has a wealth of knowledge and the level headedness to talk me off my ledge of paranoia and worry about my computer possibly being hacked. Eddie has been invaluable over the years with helping us with a wide range of issues and is THE FIRST AND ONLY person we would call with computer/IT issues.

Fast. Affordable. QUICK!
I called Eddie later in the evening and he was extremely understanding of my situation. The Long/Short I completely broke my Hard Drive. Eddie not only had the part needed on hand but quick to install, had my gaming CPU ready to go within hours time. Reliable.
I couldn't believe I called other places, Eddie is worthy of your praise and attention, and I hope to shower him with more in the future. Thank you endlessly!

Eddie is fantastic! He repaired my laptop in one day. I brought two in, and he was also honest that the other one wasn't worth investing in a better processor. He is down to earth, and really nice to boot!

Eddie was very responsive and efficiently set up my home computer work station. Eddie was professional, answered my questions, was courteous, timely, affordable, and attentive. I highly recommend Eddie for any computer problems or questions that you may have!

I was thrilled with his work on my computer. It's easy to get taken advantage of when you don't know what's wrong with your computer. Eddie The Computer Guy was honest and trustworthy. The pricing is more than fair. He fixed the issue and upgraded my computer to match my needs. I'm very satisfied with money well spent. He has gained me as a customer for as long as he operates. Thank you!

Because of Eddie the Computer Guy, I now have a fully functioning computer and much better response time. He was incredibly patient with my poor tech knowledge and very meticulous when it came to setting up exactly what I need. He's very accessible, very reasonable and very knowledgeable. All qualities needed in computer repair! I'd recommend him highly.
Bottom line: Eddie the Computer Guy is not only the best buy for the money, he is the best period.

Eddie is a wonderful computer repair person. I wouldn't use anybody else. He keeps our church computer healthy, and I recently used him to fix my laptop. He is honest and very knowledgeable and skilled. Use him for all your computer needs.

Eddie has helped me several times over the past 5 years with my computer- from fixing crashing issues to installing a new hard drive to keep my older laptop current and robust. Quick and efficient, he also takes the time to explain in simple terms the problems and the solutions. Great resource and problem solver!

Very helpful and honest. Answered all my questions and didn’t want anything for his time which included an email and a couple phone calls. Pleasant surprise and the advice made me feel a lot more confident when going in to buy a new computer. Will absolutely go here if I need computer assistance in the future.

“Eddie has been my hero for over 10 years, in all things regarding our computers. From helping us look at options, decide on purchases, and installing or repairing – he is extremely knowledgeable and very patient with us – the "over the hill" generation. I use a dictation program since I can no longer type, and Eddie always finds a way to help me with this not-too-well-known program. We look forward to his visits, as he is always on time, courteous and respectful, and leads us out of the darkness into the light! I would give him my highest recommendation!”

- Carol Jankunas, July 2019

“We have called on Eddie several times to fix our computers. He comes out the same day and is able to diagnose the problems right away. He's fast and efficient, very knowledgeable and doesn't overcharge for his work. He gives his all to make sure your computer is repaired in a very timely manner.”

- Gene & Sonja Johnston, August 2019

“Eddie is one of the good guys for sure! He is reliable, efficient and honest and will go the extra mile to make sure everything is perfect. Finding Eddie for my computer needs was like finding a great mechanic for my car! Customer for life! :)”

- Penny Harrington, 2018

“Eddy is a great help! My computer broke down on a Saturday night. As I have only 8 days to work on my thesis in Fort Collins it was crucial to make my computer work quickly again. When I called Eddy, he came directly over to the house, on a Sunday, and took the laptop to fix it. The same day it was ready to work again. The laptop works better than before, it's faster etc. I listen to the good advice Eddy gave me, and I paid a very good price for all the work that he did. Eddy is very comprehensive and gives the help you need. It was a pleasure doing business with you. Totally recommendable.”

- Anna Maria Visscher, June 2018

“Highly recommended, I'd would give him 100 Stars if possible, i was at the point that I was about to get a new computer. I took my old one to eddie to see if he could help. In one day and for less than half the cost of a new one he had my old one back and it work better than it was new.”

- Pepper Quinn, May 2019

“If you're thinking of going somewhere else then stop and go to this guy instead. He took my work laptop that in on a Sunday, fixed a Windows 10 corruption and replaced my harddrive with an SSD that day. The entire time he was trying to save me money in whatever way he could. IT people take notes, this is how it's done.”

- Dan McKey, November 2018

“I highly recommend The Computer Guy!
A friend of mine recommended to call him when I had many issues with my older PC, Eddy came over and explained in "understandable" language what my problems were and were beyond being fixable. He recommended to replace the pc and sold me a newer model used pc at a very reasonable price.
Wow, what a pleasure to work with this "upgrade", fast and flawless, it has been a year and a half and is working just fine! Also, when I reach out to him for answering any questions, he always responses immediately. He's My Computer Guy!”

- Nico Zentveld, February 2019

“I am fairly computer savvy. I work at a software company and build my own computers... one call to the computer guy and he was able to help solve my issue. I can't stress how great he was. Truly top notch service. I'd give 10 stars if possible.”

Drew Dixon, April 2018

"Eddie was honest and straightforward regarding my computer being dead. He could of made a lot of money off of me, but instead told me the truth up front. He also worked over a holiday weekend to help me out and did NOT charge me an arm and leg to do so. I will recommend The Computer Guy to anyone who needs assistance with their computer!"

- Amber Romkee 

"My computer seemed like it was under some sort of full-scale porn advertising popups siege.  Eddie sat down and immediately asked if I had a teenage son.  I said, 'yes, why?'  He just nodded his head and said he'd fix us right up. He did, and gave us some strategies for protecting our computer from teenagers. He is our new guy for computer repair in Fort Collins."

- Paul Berman,  Fort Collins

“Eddie, thank you for your honesty when you serviced our computer. We thought our computer would need to be replaced but your wisdom and skill allowed us to keep our computer and save money. Also thank-you for setting up the lap top and for your patience while teaching us how to use it.”

- The Johnsons, Windsor, CO, 2017

“Thanks to Eddie, both our PC & laptop are both back in great shape. He found our problem(s) & took the time to explain why they happened & the fixes he did to do the repairs. He came within 24 hours of my call, he was right on time & didn't over charge. He is now our go-to guy for computer problems & I highly recommend him.”
