Testimonials

“One of the biggest benefits to having Rent-A-Nerd as our IT firm is the security of knowing if we have any problem with any of our technology, a solution is just a phone call away. I truly value their quick response time and availability. Based on our experience with Rent A Nerd, there hasn’t been one problem that they couldn’t fix.”

“When my computers go down, my business stops. Rent-A-Nerd technicians are not only knowledgeable about our IT system, they respond quickly and either repair the issue remotely or have a technician in my office right away. Having an IT company automatically update our software and monitor our system frees me up to focus on my clients and my business and that’s invaluable to me.”

Rent-A-Nerd’s staff is always very attentive. I just can’t stress enough how great and personal their IT professionals are. And I really appreciate their quick turnaround and response time; most of the time, they are aware of any potential issues before we are.

“I don’t have to worry about losing money or time because of IT issues. Rent-A-Nerd keeps our network up and running beautifully! The support line is always quickly answered, and tickets are generated immediately and assigned quickly. Rent-A-Nerd is focused on customer services. They retain staff so you get to know the people helping you and know you can rely on them.
