Shaun came to the rescue when my laptop developed a fault at a critical time in my studies. He diagnosed the problem and speedily repaired it at a very reasonable price and with great communication. He will now be my go-to IT guy (although I hope I won't need him too much) and I have no problem in recommending him.

Recommended to use Shaun and I wasn't disappointed. From request to fix was a mere 24 hours. He was friendly, uncomplicated and easy to deal with. A fair price for the job as you are paying for technical knowledge of an independent trader and I would certainly recommend his services. Mine was a boot up issue, something I am sure is the norm for him to fix but the speed the matter was resolved was pleasing for me. I would certainly use again if I need to. I do not normally post reviews but for the service and speed it was needed to be done.

Shaun has been my go-to for any computing issues for at least 10 years now. Whenever I take a PC or laptop to him, he manages to turn it around in reasonable time for larger issues and very quickly for smaller ones. Has managed to get me up and running recently including saving information from my downed pc that was beyond economical repair.

Outstandingly high quality of work from Shaun! Has taken the time to satsify my needs and has met the vision I had for my pc build. Was even nice enough to give me a discount due to unforeseen circumstances. Very friendly individual who took his time to educate me on pc building through face to face conversations.. he is also very responsive through text! Comes back quickly to any queries and provides detailed explanations coming from decades of experience. Top man, could not recommend enough.

Shaun puts faith back into humanity 12/10 service ⭐️

I bought a gaming computer for my 11 year olds birthday online ( i have no clue about computers) when it arrived the day of his birthday I attempted to set it up while he was at school so he could have it when back and the computer was broken, worthless present as it stood, son would of been gutted.

I found your geek friend online and went straight there at 1pm, I was picking my lad up at 3pm, I explained what happened. Shaun stopped everything else he was doing and managed to fix it in time, and not only that, he didn't even want to charge me full price for the fantasic service he did.

2 hours after just turning up at the shop door i was back round collecting my 11 years olds working gaming PC. This not only made his day but mine to, just to see the smile on his face.

Can not thank Shaun enough, please use his service, its second to non, and he is an amzing person aswell.

Wish I could give it 10 ⭐️ on here

Shaun was amazing, absolutely a professional! He was really helpful with my PC problem, solved everything that I asked for, also did a deep clean from the inside just in 3 days. He also explained everything what he discovered and what he did to my PC. Also good repair prices. I can only recommend Shaun to everyone who needs their PC or Laptop to be repaired. 5 star!

Hi
I have just returned home to Australia. While in the UK my new laptop power supply failed. Shaun verified the PS had failed and that he did not have the correct one in stock. His help did not stop there. He went on line and found the correct item for me at a nearby dept store. He printed out the items details complete with directions to the store. Did you notice he fixed 2 problems. The first one was my inability to access my computer. The second one was the computer not able to charge its battery.
Hey guys drive the extra mile to Shauns shop because he will go the extra mile to help you

I had a serious Windows boot issue, and entering BIOS wasn't straightforward due to multiple boot complications. I handed my laptop over to Shaun, who took the time to thoroughly inspect and troubleshoot it. Despite several initial boot fix attempts not working, his persistence and expertise shone through. He ultimately revived my old laptop by installing a fresh copy of Windows using his *own spare 1TB HDD and an additional 4GB RAM*—giving it a completely new life.

I truly appreciate the *dedication, patience, and technical skill* Shaun demonstrated throughout the process. Thank you for going the extra mile! ❤️

second to none!

I contacted Shaun with an urgent request for help as my laptop had shut down completely and was stuck in a "boot loop." I dropped my device off and Shaun got to fixing it for me. He repaired it and now its working perfectly. If you want great service, a very understanding individual (not someone who judges for your lack of knowledge) and all a great price, then this is the place to go.

I had a Dell Desktop that had slowed to a stop. A computer shop offered an all-inclusive price but with no details of what they'd do. I returned to Google reviews, was impressed by the reviews for 'Your Geek Friend' so visited Shaun. He recommended a new solid state drive and did the necessary work. I thought the price was very reasonable. I then found that I couldn't access my inbox because I'm a computer novice. Shaun fixed this for me, and I was really grateful, but refused to accept anything for his time. More recently he's fixed another problem for me. Excellent service. I'd absolutely recommend him.

The best computer repair service in Gloucester

Shaun at Your Geek Friend Computer Repairs was invaluable from start to finish. He took the time to explain everything clearly, didn’t push any expensive fixes, and genuinely seemed to care about finding the best solution. The live tracking system was a great bonus it kept me updated every step of the way.

Honestly, it’s rare to find this level of service and honesty. If you’re in Gloucester and need your laptop or computer looked at, I couldn’t recommend this place enough.

Swift diagnosis of a laptop motherboard fault. Shaun provided a clear estimate of what the fix would be, and generously did not charge after this proved to be more expensive than expected and I decided not to proceed. Very professional service, thank you.

Chantal L.

Shaun did a brilliant job fixing the failing hinges of my laptop and I can't recommend him enough. He's super professional and responsive (you can contact him via WhatsApp), and I felt totally reassured - this coming from someone who treats her somewhat delicate laptop as her baby and was very nervous about handing it over! I thought Shaun's price was very reasonable considering he ordered new parts in, and he even gave the laptop a clean!

Moya B.

Absolutely brilliant service. Our PC would not boot and we thought we'd lost everything. Not so.
Shaun retrieved, backed up and reinstalled everything. Couldn't be happier. All done at a more than reasonable price .

He was incredibly quick at getting back to me and managed to fit me in the next day to check over my laptop. He also sent me some instructions to try and help the situation. Shaun was incredibly professional and so kind. By some miracle my laptop was okay and Shaun was able to clean the insides of my devise and check everything was okay. Amazing value for money and I’ll most definitely be recommending Shaun to my friends and family. Thanks again Shaun.

My laptop became corrupt after a windows update i heard good things about Shaun and thought i would try him, he sorted it by re-flashing the laptop, backed up my data, drivers then reloaded windows 10 and put data back on. I was so pleased with the work i returned with an older laptop, Shaun updated windows from 7 to 10, changed a faulty DVD drive and fitted a solid state hard drive to speed things up. All of the above for an agreeable price. I purposely left this review for a while to see how things went, yes i am more than satisfied and i would recommend Shaun and will be using him again.

Shaun is a skilled, honest guy, who will go above and beyond for very affordable prices. He explains thoroughly what changes are likely to be made and what work was undertaken on the device, and most importantly will be 100% honest if something cannot be fixed. My device looks and feels new, and the work undertaken not only fixed the problem, but will prevent further damage as well. I couldn't be more happy with the outcome! :-)

A very professional and friendly service. Quick, reliable and excellent value. Thoroughly recommended

Shaun carried out work on my laptop as the start-up and operating speed was extremely slow. Shaun explained the improvements, completed the work efficiently and has made my laptop run much faster. I would recommend Shaun based on his knowledge, reliability and professionalism.

My son accidentally spilled Lucozade over my laptop which meant it wouldn't even turn on. I contacted a few shops but they all said the damage from the sugar would have ruined the motherboard and it was beyond repair. I wanted to at least salvage the data. After letting it sit for a few months I got in touch with Shaun and within 48 hours he had my laptop working again. Really happy and would recommend to everyone!

I have contacted Shaun recently because my laptop one day decided to split the screen off (literally)! As always he replied very quickly, asked me lots of questions, shown genuine interest in my problem. The reparation took overall a day as he explained to me how meticulous this process is, which I understood perfectly. I am very happy overall, my laptop closes now very smooth, looks like new and also very CLEAN!!! He is very professional and trustworthy. Thank you Shaun x

I've been in Software over 25 yrs so no novice. I set Shaun what I thought was tough challenge sorting out my laptop access. He achieved it with no queries, issues. He also upgraded to Windows 10 & accessories. He was prompt, responsive & is knowledgeable as I'm not shy to challenge or ask questions. I have other laptop issues, contacts in the trade & will use him, recommend him guaranteed. Thanks Shaun..

I had a slow old laptop that I was thinking of throwing away and buying new. Shaun assessed it over the phone and then offered to look at it for free before advising me properly. I dropped it round to him at 5.00 pm and within a few hours he had diagnosed it and provided a couple of options with quotes. Another day and we had picked up our serviced and tuned laptop that now works like it should. A professional service with great prices.

Fantastic Service, nothing is to small for Your Geek Friend computer repairs, every time I have contacted him I get a reply back that day, and when you are ready he is ready to either sort out our problem, with you remotely or you take your computer to him, and you will get a reply back telling you what was wrong with it and when it's ready to pick up with in 24 hours of him having your computer. Fantastic Service all around A+++++++++

Wow! The friendliest, most helpful small business I have encountered this year. Shaun was swift to respond and kept me informed of options and processes all the way through. Shaun clearly appreciated that, as a fellow small business owner, I needed my laptop and it's contents back up and running quickly and literally saved me hours of work and heartache. All for a reasonable price. I am very happy to recommend Your Geek Friend to my friends and customers. Thank you, Shaun.

I am really glad to have discovered this place out of sheer luck! And the online positive reviews don't lie either. Shaun is a true professional who works with honesty and integrity. Unlike other computer repair shops in Gloucester, Shaun has a wide range of knowledge and experience in repairing both Apple products and PCs. He gives you a clear picture about the faults and associated costs before you even decide to go ahead with the repair. Diagnostics is free with no obligations! Thanks to Shaun, I got my Macbook repaired for a very nominal cost without having to travel all the way to Cheltenham or Birmingham. You cannae go wrong with this one!

He works from home, but by god has he got a lovely set up. And most importantly you can see he enjoys what he does. I reckon the bloke has got it made ! And he deserves too as well.
Thanks Shaun, be seeing you again the next time anything goes wrong that I can't fix myself...Toby.

I had my 2 laptops serviced by a computer guy and he had them for 2 days and charged me a ridiculous amount. 2 days later my laptops were in worse condition than begore. I had to source someone decent. Shaun was recommended to me so i trusted him to fix. Shaun sorted in 24 hours, upgraded security, removed pop ups, serviced and cleaned as good as new. Both laptops are still going strong. Highly recommended. You wont get top service like this anywhere else. Previously my 2 laptops were in the hands of another laptop repairer. Do you research first I had to take them to Shaun to undo what the previous guy has messed up. I now refer everyone i know to him. Thankyou Shaun. Really really pleased.

Would definitely recommend Shaun to anyone! Took my MacBook to him and he'd diagnosed the problem within only a couple of hours of it being with him! He was honest about the issue and explained/let me know all of my options with repairing it. Shaun repaired my MacBook in less than a week and kept me updated along the way. Trustworthy and reliable service! Thankyou :)
