Linda - Just to give a glowing testimonial to lightning computer repair for the swift return of my call, not pushy, even suggested I could go on a free download site to possibly fix my particular problem therefore doing themselves out of a job. However, when the chap came he worked solidly on my laptop and PC in a quiet and professional way with a cheery smile, even taking time out to explain things in a way a novice would understand. I would recommend them anytime.

Sarah & Simon - Thank you for your excellent service with our laptop repair recently, it was great to find you were available at the weekend too.

Graham - I just wanted to say how impressed and satisfied I was with your service. The name Lightning does not do you justice. My laptop died and the chain-store wanted to charge just to look at it. Another customer recommended going to you & Im so glad I did. I was sceptical when you diagnosed the fault, because the recovery software said otherwise, but the proof came a few days later in the form of a fully working laptop.
