I took my computer to a shop in Morayfield, I won't name them. I was told that I needed a new motherboard, and the cost to repair would be around $500. Something didn't feel right, so I thought I'd get a second opinion and called Spotty Dog. Iain asked me to bring the computer in, and said it was most likely something very simple. He looked at the PC while I waited, in front of me, and removed the RAM, cleaned the contacts, replaced it, and low and behold, my computer was fixed. I thanked him and asked how much, and he replied "don't worry about it, I didn't really do anything". So not only did I save $500, I received immediate service at no charge. How great is that? I have continued to use Spotty Dog ever since. A+++read more

I needed a new PC for my family business, and I was just going to buy off the shelf at one of the big retail stores. But after talking with Spotty Dog, I decided to go with a custom built PC. As Iain explained, we had the benefit of choosing what components were used and their quality. I have been very pleased with the resulting speed and performance, not to mention the reliability. I am so glad I didn't just buy what the retailers were trying to clear off the shelf.read more

Very helpful advice, and my problem was sorted out on the spot (pun intended) :-) It was the classic recovery of data on a hard drive when the computer won't start up. Thank you for helping me out of a sticky situation.read more

It was time for a new computer and I came across Iain's business after a google search. I have since purchased my new computer from Iain and have been nothing short of impressed with his business ethic, professionalism, expertise and realistic prices. My new computer is simply fantastic and Iain didn't try to sell me anything I didn't need (he even provided me with free advice over the phone). We run a small business and have now chosen to have Iain attend to any future computer repairs or sales.read more

I recently had dealings with Microsoft on behalf of a customer that I can only describe as disgraceful and disappointing. The customer in question was an elderly lady with Parkinson’s disease. She had been the victim of a crypto-virus attack, and I had no alternative other than ….
SSD Hard Drive Reliability5 July, 2018 - 10:01 am
For the first time ever, I had a computer come in for repair that had a faulty SSD Hard Drive. They consist a fast Memory, and a controller. So this makes SSD Hard Drives super fast, and importantly to this conversation, super reliable.
