I contacted Trevor December 2019 for help with an older Mac Book Pro that was giving me problems. Trevor replaced the hard drive etc. and got it running faster and with less steps necessary to accomplish tasks.Back in 2012 Trevor helped me purchase a new printer/copier/scanner and set it up to my computer. He did a great job.I would recommend Trevor for any computer issues you have. He is very knowledgeable and conscientious.Sue W

Trevor at Computers on Wheels has been my "go to" person for computer advice and troubleshooting for more than five years now. Without fail, he fixed every different issue that came up with my Macbook and also with my partner's PC. I find Trevor to be both personable and knowledgeable about computers and systems plus his help has always been prompt and reliable. I definitely recommend Trevor and Computers on Wheels.

Thank you Trevor! My computer became slow and I was unable to use it. Looking online for someone who could fix it. Lucky, I saw Trevor's add online and took my computer in. At that time I met a very professional who provided excellent service. My computer was returned to me as if it was new. His fast service and fair price was excellent. Though, he has fixed my computer so well I don't know if I will see him again. But if I do need service I know exactly where to go.

Trevor and his team have helped us repeatedly. This time he made a new custom-built computer for us. It is amazing and the changeover from our old machine to this new amazing one was seamless and done in a couple of hours. Trevor is my go to guru when it comes to our computer and any questions about online stuff.

Trevor did some great and complex work for us on our iMac ensuring the most recent operating system would be fully operational and did it with great attention to detail. He was easy to communicate with and always kept us up-to-date with the process. I would happily recommend him to anyone that needs any computing support - both big and small. He provides my a family member of mine with ongoing support for a small business and Trevor was recommended to me. It is always great to support a small local business. Thanks, Trevor.

I have used the services of Trevor George for seven years. I am a senior and live on my own. I have very little apptitude for technology. Having said that Trevor has kept me connected all this time. He has selected two computers for me and set them up to be very user friendly. He is willing to go to any lengths to keep me on line. He provides individualized service.
