Pete was a life saver when I needed it. I rely on my laptop as I struggle to get out at the moment so when it broke suddenly, I needed someone local quickly. Counter-Act advertised in my local village magazine and all was fixed within 24 hours. Superb service. (Reviewed March 2023)

A friend in my village suggests that my lap top could be fixed, and I found, although I am mute, Gary treated me with respect because of my condition and professionally fixed my lap top. (Reviewed March 2023)
Gary completed two free diagnostic reviews on laptops for us.
Unfortunately both lap tops were beyond reasonable repair. He gave honest and practical advice about the cost/benefit of repair which was very much appreciated. We were kept informed of the progress at all times

Gary Mears was tasked with updating our Office 365 to the Office 365 Business Standard for our charity. This was carried out efficiently while keeping us informed of progress.

My laptop suffered an irreversible failure. I took it in to Counter-Act Systems on Monday morning, and by Tuesday afternoon I had a new laptop with all systems and data recovered. It was just like having my old laptop back. Excellent service - highly recommended. A well satisfied customer. (Reviewed November 2022)
Very pleased with the service from Gary. My PC was running very slowly. Gary was able to tell me it hadn't been new when I bought it at the start of lockdown. He gave two choices - spend to upgrade or buy new. I opted to buy new and within 24 hours the new machine was ready to collect with all my data transferred. Gary says he keeps the old hard drive for a while in case any files have been missed and then he electronically deletes all the data. We found Gary by personal recommendation and will certainly share his name. (Reviewed November 2022)
