FAQ’s | Why Choose Scot?

I highly recommend Scot to get your computer running in tip top shape

My wife Lucia had gone to her Rosary & Altar Society meeting where Scot was answering the audience’s computer related questions. Since our computer was very slow at getting onto the internet and running applications, we decided to call Scot. He upgraded the memory, substituted our antivirus for a more efficient one, removed programs that we didn’t use, cleaned up the junk files and defragged the hard drive. When we got the computer back we were pleasantly surprised on how much faster it was. I highly recommend Scot to get your computer running in tip top shape.

Scot saved me countless hours of trying to do everything myself

My husband had passed away and I was left with two laptops. I needed to find someone to get them in shape. I came across Scot from Scot Fixes PCs. I read many of the testimonials so I knew he was the person I needed. I spoke to Scot and brought the laptops to him. He told me that he would take a look at them and contact me with what the next steps would be. Scot contacted me and asked me what I wanted and he told me what was going on. My biggest complaint was that both laptops
…
were slow. Scot cleaned them up, installed MS Office, installed a newer version of Windows 10 on one of the laptops, installed antivirus, and a program that made Windows 10 look similar to Windows 7. He also defragged the hard drives. What an improvement! The laptops ran like when they were first purchased. Boy am I glad I found Scot. I am a visiting nurse so I am pretty busy. Scot saved me countless hours of trying to do everything myself. If you want your computer to run like the first day you bought it, contact Scot. You won’t be disappointed!

We are very happy with the work that Scot has done for us along with his professional expertise

I run and manage a Pest Control Business. The Spring and Summer months are the height of our season, although we have become a year-round business. Due to this reason, I contacted Scot Gerardi from SCOT FIXES PCS. We wanted a local computer company/contact to set up and service our computer needs. Scot offered suggestions on new computers for our office. He met me at MICRO CENTER in Paterson NJ to view some computers. He also discussed our needs with the salesman at the store. We made the decision to purchase several POWERSPEC computers at MICRO CENTER. The computers are
…
fast due to the SSD drive supplied with them. Scot also purchased and picked up 2 new LED monitors for our office. He installed and set up the computers with respective software, MS, OFFICE, and ANTIVIRUS. Scot also connected all necessary printers and connected us to our network. He tested all hardware equipment after the installation. He did this in a timely and efficient manner and we were up and running smoothly in half a day. Scot also set up a laptop for the office. He installed software to make WINDOWS 10 look like WINDOWS 7 which we preferred to work with. Over time, we have had some minor computer issues which Scot has resolved in a timely and efficient manner with no problem. We are very happy with the work that Scot has done for us along with his professional expertise. I would highly recommend Scot with SCOT FIXES PCS for all your computer and software needs. He is most professional, highly knowledgeable and a pleasure to work with.

Scot is very professional, responsive and has solid experience with both Macs and PC

I have known Scot from Scot Fixes PCs for many years and over that time, he has done a lot of work for me. Scot is very professional, responsive and has solid experience with both Macs and PC. Scot addresses issues quickly, in some cases, on the same day. More complex issues may only take days instead of weeks. My daughter complained that her Macbook Pro was very slow. I contacted Scot. He came and took the laptop because Scot offers a tune up of any computer for $99. After cleaning up the computer, the problem escalated due to problems
…
with the hard drive. Scot called me and we discussed hard drive replacements. I decided to put an SSD (Solid State Drive) into her Macbook Pro. Scot installed the SSD drive and found out that the drive was not working. After trying a few options, contacting Apple a few times, Scot knew the SSD drive was not supported by this Macbook Pro. Scot installed a hybrid hard drive (A cross between an SSD drive and a regular hard drive) that he had available. After that Scot installed the operating system and made some minor configuration changes. Once Scot gave my daughter back her Macbook Pro she began using it and immediately noticed the increased speed which pleased her very much. My daughter told Scot that she had to wait minutes after each mouse click. Even though Scot ran into snags, my daughter’s laptop was back up and running in no time. Scot also installed a brand-new Netgear wireless router in our kitchen. He made sure the wireless network’s signal was throughout my home. My kids now could use their laptops in their bedrooms with good connectivity. Scot also copied all of the data off of our old Dell desktop and put it on a brand-new laptop I just purchased. He set up our profiles, outlook and installed virus and malware products to ensure our PC was protected from future threat. I highly recommend Scot for any kind of computer issue. He is always my first call when something goes wrong with any of our computers and he never disappoints.

I would highly recommend him for personal and business computer issues. A true pleasure!

We called Scot from Scot Fixes PCs on a recommendation from a community business associate. As busy as he was, he came to the office to assess what the problem might be. The company was having problems with the default applications and in one area, there was also an issue with our internal systems. Scot not only alleviated the issues on our computers but sat and explained what the problems had been. He then asked permission to ensure that our security systems were updated on the computers and very quickly and efficiently addressed those. Not only was Scot very knowledgeable
…
and efficient, I most appreciated his patient explanation to the management team on what had gone wrong, how he had fixed it and the best way to avoid further issues. We had a few follow up questions after Scot completed his work and he was so patient and thorough in addressing any further knowledge that we needed to ascertain. I would highly recommend him for personal and business computer issues. A true pleasure!
