Rolland D.
Remote Computer Support
“I very highly recommend Travis for your IT/Computer needs. We did a remote session for multiple error pop ups I kept getting and I had tried to fix myself. Travis went through several steps I had already tried with no luck. Travis then went further down the IT rabbit hole and in under an hour had found the problem and corrected it. And his price was very reasonable and fair.”

Estill D.
Data Recovery Service
“I accidentally damaged one of my flash drives and could not access the data stored on it. After contacting several professionals who would not even attempt to repair it or who charged exorbitant prices, I contacted PC Pitstop. Travis was able to repair it, kept me up to date on the cost, and to the steps necessary to fix it. I am very satisfied with PC Pitstop's service and costs. I had been quoted other costs that were three times higher than what Travis charged me, and I am still using the repaired flash drive.”
