Scott and Bob at Computer Guru have been my computer Gurus for over 15 years. Always pleasant, direct, straight forward, fair and very good. From their office you can see they are very busy because others know about these two computer secret Englewood gems.

Very knowledgeable and helpful. I needed a rig that could handle CAD and GIS mapping sites smoothly. Everything works better/faster than I could have imagined. Plus he helped my mom out with her problems too. Great service.

Ill start this review by saying that they did fix my computer, but the lack of communication really bothered me. When I dropped it off, I was told a repair could range anywhere from $30 - $200 and they would call me when they figured out the problem. 2 weeks go by and I finally get a call that they fixed it and installed all this software for Free including a software that they can take over control of your computer remotely (useful to some but I dont want that)and said it will be $200. I called uBreakiFix in North Port and they said the same repair is $100.In summary, they will fix your computer but it was slow service and you will not receive any communication from them until its done and you get a bill.

Both Bob & Scott at Computer Guru are knowledgeable and helpful whenever I have had to call them for help. If they are busy, they give you a time to call back so you can get prompt service. I would recommend them to anyone having computer problems.

Bob and Scott are both “computer gurus” who recently accessed our desktop and laptop computers remotely to fix problems with Microsoft Office. They were quick as lightening and the cost was truly unbeatable! We’ve been more than satisfied with their expertise and services for the past four years. It is so nice to know computer experts who are trustworthy, prompt and affordable!

Hey guys.......Believe me, this Computer Guru Bob is the real article....Hes quick cause there is nothing that he doesnt know about this computer business......He doesnt try to sell you things you dont need, and to the contrary, in my case he talked me out of things, (expensive things), and brought me to a point of turning out the incredible machine I wake up to each morning!!.......Just cannot wait to turn on this rocket zooming off to cyber space........And believe me, this aging Italian soul does not at all wake up in seconds, far from it, but when I negotiate to my computer chair, hit the button, and in mere seconds, seriously, I am off to the Internet races at speeds I didnt realize possible!!....But, these benefits aside, the most important five star point about my five star Computer Guru Bob is.........Is that Bob is impeccably honest in giving any and all options to you for your particular problem, and to his credit, he will take any part of his busy day to do so to take you through all the options, all of these offered in your favor of cost and time and success in the solutions,....Bob saved me a lot of money with the machine he built for me....A very affordable and lovable beast I am still training to heel!!......A Ferrari, each day blowing away the competition!!....Call Bob, he answers his own phone?..(how cool is that?)....I have been in Englewood for twenty years now from San Francisco..........My experience to date, given my computer problems is this.....Bob is unique in character and capability, and availability........(Pretty rare around these parts, no matter what you need)!!Joe Grippi Advanced Pressure cleaning Solutions LLC

I go into Computer Guru thinking Im going to be facing a huge bill, but instead Im told to try this first. Go home, unplug & replug & wi-fi will start working again. I did & it did. Just amazing place for anything computer-related.

Review №13

Have taken my very old computer here several times over the past seven years. Bob and Scott are knowledgeable and competent. They have fixed my computer and it always runs better after they have fixed it. The anti-virus, anti-spyware, and anti-malware programs that they recommend, and that I run faithfully have kept my computer clean with no intrusions. Pricing of their services are very reasonable for what they do. I highly recommend.

I have used Computer Guru on 3 occasions for 2 computers that I own. I have no problem recommending them as professional and personable. Bob is a good guy and in FL they are my go to guys if I have a problem.

Bought my computer here the owner was very nice man and extremely knowledgable and very reasonable. I cant remember when my computer ran this fast. He not only fixed my bug, it runs terrific now. Cant remember the last time it ran this well. Its nice too be able to trust someone with all you personal data and he made it very easy.

After getting hacked on our personal laptop, my husband and I were panicked! I’m so glad this was the first place we came to for help. We felt relief as soon as we dropped the laptop in their expert hands! The advice we got went above and beyond our laptop and helped secure our personal and financial information at a crucial time. Very grateful!!

The Guru is one of the best. He talks gruf, but knows his business!! He has many customers, so yes, the wait may be longer than you want but he gets it fixed. The BEST!! Shirley

Bob (the owner) and his assistant did an excellent job at restoring my computer. They were both extremely knowledgeable and patient with me while answering all my questions and concerns. The work was done in a few days and Bob even gave me a loaner computer. Check them out, thank me later!

Review №24

As a computer nerd myself, this review carries a bit more weight than most. Bob is one of the most honest and trustworthy nerds I know. Hes always on the clients side which makes it hard to compete! He doesnt lie and acts like the client is himself, which makes it easy on others to validate his claims. He knows that a solid state drive is the quickest way to your heart and hes not afraid to say so! Still the best in the area, 15-years-now.

Im horrible with names but Scott or Shawn helped me today and was awesome!!! COVID has killed my small business and this guy saved my laptop!!! More than a fair price for the service.And some of these one star reviews are wild. Ive had to buy a replacement plug for my Lenovo and also paired $40 for a replacement one. Its the going rate.Anyways if you have problem with your PV or Laptop just go talk to them. Its worth a shot and they saved me today! 5 Stars all the way around!PS. Sorry for not remembering your name bud!

I took my Dell laptop here thinking it was a lost cause. Not only were they able to get it back in working order, it now works better than the day I took it out of the box.. Its at least 5x faster and when I picked it up it had all the virus/malware protection downloads already on it to keep it running better then it even had.. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!

Review №28

I would give less stars if I could. This place and these guys are a complete rip off. I sent my son there to get a wall plug for our lenovo computer. He charged him $40.00 for a plug that he said he repaired, it was repaired with a piece of electrical tape over the exposed wires!!- what a complete rip off this place is!!. When I called spoke to the owner, Bob, about this, he said yes, thats correct; they go for $60. -$80. new. And then he proceeded to tell me it was so much because it is a lenovo plug. I spoke with a representative at lenovo prior to going to this place, who said the plug can be a universal plug, as long as it fits, it does not have to be a lenovo plug. Bob argued with me and said it had be lenovo. According to Lenovo, I could get a brand new plug for$30.; but it would take 3-5 business days, my computer was completely dead, so I needed a plug asap. Moral of the story.....DONT DO BUSINESS WITH THESE GUYS, UNLESS YOU WANT TO GET RIPPED OFF AND WASTE YOUR $$$.

I have been going to Bob and Scott at Computer Guru for over 4 years now (new location since last year), and they certainly have directed me in the right ways with my computer concerns! I never have a problem they cant fix; they have secured my computer with antivirus programs, and are always willing to give me tips to keep my computer running the best! I have told all my friends, family, and acquaintances about this reliable place!From: Jersey GIrl

COMPUTER GURU is a 5 in my book and I definitely recommend using them.Bob, the owner, listened to what I said I needed in my computer and then built me exactly what I asked for.He loaded the computer with top of the line programs that an EXCEL, office suite, and Photoshop fanatic like me could ever dream of !!He also took the time to make sure I understood the 3 layers of SECURITY programs that he included, that all work together to guard my computer from unwanted hackers.Ive used computers for over 35 years and this is the 1st time Ive used one that is faster than the speed of light.If you want a top of the line, fast and secure computerCOMPUTER GURU is the place to go!!!Thank you Bob and GURU Team. I am super happy with my laptop.

If you want what counts in a computer these are the people. I have the fastest, most durable, and quietest computer ever; not to mention the software perks. I just had some superfluous warranty issues addressed by Bob who drove an hour to replace the entire computer in less than ten minutes. Highly recommended!!

Review №40

The owner is obnoxious and deceiptful. He convinced me to upgrade my RAM and processor for a grand total exceeding $300. I took his advice despite the fact that the repair exceeded the value of my computer. Within days of my repair, the computer crashed. His belligerent attitude certainly did not encourage me to return. I purchased a new computer. Hopefully this helps others.

The team at Computer Guru of Englewood LLC did a terrific job in diagnosis my laptop issues, providing alternative options for either repair or recovery of data that I was unable to retrieve as the laptop had been fried during electrical storm. Thanks for both the great work and reasonable cost.

I brought my old broken gaming computer in to get it fixed. Mr. O’Tool educated me on how to get it in top running condition. I play an online MMOG and it demands a lot on a computer. When Bob finished fixing it. The computer runs at blistering speeds that I have never seen before. When I had to reinstall the game it took only 25 mins as opposed to over 9 hours with the old slug snail computer before. He is a “Guru” but an out of this world alien guru!

Guru Bob did incredible things to my old computer! Changed Vista to windows 7, increased the speed, downloaded multiple protections. He then can fix things remotely and there is a one year warranty on his work. I will go to no one else!

As another reviewer stated, dont let the appearance of the business fool you!! I took my sluggish laptop in for a checkup and 2 days later, I have a like-new laptop moving fast and Im now well versed in security measures for my system as well. Bob will answer any question, no matter what your level of expertise . I will be going back in a year for my check up and recommend him.

The shop may look a bit chaotic, BUT they are very competent! I will return for all my computer repair needs.I was promised my laptop would be completed by Saturday, which happened to be New Years Eve - once I explained that time was critical: They managed to finish my laptop and had it ready for pick up - despite not being scheduled to operate. Thank you very much gentlemen.

The owner is a conceited loud mouth. I walked in with my computer, ready to use their service. The owner was shouting to a man about his computer. He was out right lying to this man trying to sell him a hard disk for 500.00. You can buy a one terabyte hard disk for around 100.00 and that was a while ago.The office was filthy. Papers all over desks and stuff on the floor. There was one pathway: from the door to the cash register. The rest was total chaos.The tech guy was kind enough to remove 2 screws off the back of my laptop while the boss was yelling at his customer. I asked him how much it would cost and he said, this is nothing. BTW, the tech is a nice guy.The tech said they would call me when they found a new battery pack for my old laptop. So I went home and I barely drove into my driveway and the owner calls me on the phone and says you owe me 30.00. I said for what? We performed work on your computer.Instead of comping this laughable charge and promoting good will, he made me feel like I would never get a square deal. One bad review is worth 10 customers. I hope these 10 customers will never go to this scam artist.

Bob converted me from a Dell hater to a Dell user, he doesnt suffer fools and will give you the straight talk and the info you need. If you want swarmy go to a Large Computer Store and they will sell you the most expensive one around. Had an issue with the Dell (he guarantees his for a year minimum) his staff had mine fixed and upgraded while I waited. Havent bought a new computer over 7 years as have used Computer Guru for the computer I wanted not one someone else thought I needed. Highly recommend you drop in.

Review №54

I’ve dealt with this business on a number of occasions. They’re the furthest thing from one of those sleek computer stores, but from their cramped and crowded space they deliver the sort of service you’d hope to get from a small, local business. As a near computer illiterate, I didn’t understand all of what they told me, but I do know that they fixed the problem that brought me there originally, and when a glitch occurred, they fixed that without charge. I was impressed enough to purchase an upgrade to the innards of the machine, and it now opens sites almost as quickly as I can get to them. I still don’t know what I’m doing, but at least I know there’s a place that actually helps.

First off, the employee Chris is a doll. Really nice guy. Patient, communicative and attentive to my questions, concerns and wants.The owner on the other hand; Bob O’Toole is the reason to avoid this place like the plague. He’s callus, assumptious and spiteful.I went in and talked to Chris about building a computer, we talked for about 45 minutes. After we were done talking I asked if it was ok to mill around and check out their shop/store which looks like a hoarders garage mind you.While doing so, the unknown-to-me Mr. O’Toole enters his shop and briefly talks to Chris. Without knowing what Chris and I had just moments before talked about, he barks to me, ‘Can I help you?’. ‘No, I’m just looking around. Thank you’ I reply. I had been helped and was now just looking around. Within minutes he shouts to me, ‘If you’re not buying anything, just leave ok!’.I was shaken by his quick jump to “Heck with this potential customer, he’s wasting our space”. Replaced the 10 year old computer mouse on the dusty shelf which was on sale for $50, said ’thanks for your time’ and left.If I can help one person avoid having to interact with the owner, the time spent on this review is worth it. If Chris opens his own computer shop, I’ll the first in line. Chris, you rock good Sir!

Stop stop stop. Stay away from this guy, He is the dude who has moved twice already because they ran him out of town.

Con man !

Review №63

Fixed the initial problem of not being able to load an OS to a HDD or SSD, The problem though is they said my brand new GTX 1060 was dead and insisted I buy a new one. That isnt a problem as its under warranty. I got home to discover they installed a very old copy of windows 10 x64 version 10.0 that doesnt support the Nvidia 10 cards. Bob acted as if he knew all and what I said didnt seem to matter. Thank you for fixing the big issue. As far as my card though? it is just fine. He did however do extra work as this is a frakenstein build. He tore it apart and redid a lot for me. I can not complain other than what I was told on the GPU. All and all I spent around $260, and ended up with my machine running after playing around for about 2 hours.
