Hi Dee, I want to thank Will for going above and beyond to set up my new printer so all I had to do is bring it home and plug it in. I have been a customer for many years and I have always received such great service. Jason is always so patient when helping a "senior" and is my go to guy when I have a problem with my computer. So thanks to all of you. You are a fantastic team!!!

Just want to thank Dee and Jim for their customer service. I have had on-going problems with the used computer I bought in April 2015 and have been searching for a company I can go to and get the results I have received from you guys. I will be recommending to friends and anybody else I come in contact with who are having computer problems. It has been a pleasure dealing with guys and keep up the good work.

Dear Dee and Computer Elite Family, Just a wee note here, to thank you for your superb, thorough and reasonably priced service.

You are the Best! Gratefully yours, Cathryn

I had been to several computer stores before I found Computer Elite six or seven years ago. The level of service, knowledge and friendly atmosphere makes dealing with CE a real pleasure. I especially appreciate the remote service they provide. It has saved me many trips and been a tremendous help in solving my many little computer issues. Thanks Joe, Dee and the whole gang.

When our computer died, Joe turned what could have been a nightmare into a positive experience. We bought a new computer, all our files were seamlessly transferred and software loaded, and all our questions were addressed. Ongoing, it is comforting to know that Joe, Dee and the rest of the team at Computer Elite are available to offer advice and support.

We have been customers of computer elite from inception and they have provided the best service. Wether it be desktops or laptops we have had after sale service and complete customer satisfaction which you can't get at a box store. We tried the box store, but immediately came back. Their honestly and integrity cannot be matched.

by:Jason Browning - Royal LePage

As a Realtor, my success depends on referrals...and as such, I also refer clients, family and friends to businesses and service providers that stand above the crowd. Computer Elite certainly fits that bill!

Joe, Dee, Heidi and the whole gang over at Computer Elite deserve recognition and success for the business model they provide.

I'm a bit of a 'tech' guy myself and rarely utilize the services of a professional, when it comes to computers. Living in Orillia but travelling to Barrie daily, I've passed 'that computer place on Hwy 11, with the RC car track out front' a bazillion times. Always saw the board out front with ads and sometimes funny computer sayings, but never stopped in.

Recently, I discovered that I needed a new laptop to stay on top of the competitive world of Real Estate. I checked out the big box stores, and got the same result at all of them..standard computers with standard features and standard expectations. Then, one day, I was travelling back to Orilia, saw the 10th anniversary sale sign in front of Computer Elite, missed the driveway, immediately pulled over and 'backed up along the shoulder' to get back to the driveway and pulled in. I'm so glad I did.

Without getting into specific details, Joe spent a lot of time showing and teaching me about different laptops, desktops and ultrabooks and the pros and cons of each. I explained to him my needs, and plans for the laptop I needed to purchase and he offered many many options for what to buy and how to configure it so I could use it effectively on the road, at home, with clients and at the office. 3 days and 4 visits later, I finally made my choice, much to Joe's relief, I'm sure. He must have had about 5 hours invested in answering all my questions and concerns. The key here is that he did so, without ever losing his patience or passion for making sure I was comfortable with my decision.

I ultimately purchased an Asus Zenbook, a laser printer and some extra peripherals that Joe showed me would make my life and business better and easier. I've never looked back...I'm extremely happy with my Ultrabook, get many compliments on the computer and have referred Computer Elite to many Real Estate agents and clients.

Of special note, I had a situation where I lost the charger for my Zenbook, and although it has a great battery and standby time, I could not be more than 24 hours without the charger. I inquired with Dee about purchasing a replacement and discovered that it would be a number of days to receive one as it had to be ordered from far away. Ultimately I was able to get my charger back, but I found out that in the meantime, Dee had made numerous inquiries to attempt to get me a charger quicker. She had even contacted a commercial customer of theirs who had just recently purchased 4 of the same type of Zenbooks that I had purchased, and asked if they wouldn't mind 'lending' me one of their chargers for a few days until my replacement order arrived!!!! Do you think Future Shop, Best Buy, Staples or any big box store would have done anything even close to that to help out a past customer? Ya, right!

Writing this testimonial and referring Computer Elite to anyone and everyone I know is the least I could do for a great company, a great store and great people who deserve all the best that business and life have to offer.

Thanks folks and all the best!

We would like to thank Joe and his staff for all the imformation that helped us to decide which lap top to purchase as our old one had a wee mishap. The staff not only sells equipment but repairs all makes and models, this makes it easy for them to diagnose, but sometimes not so easy to repair. With this knowledge it made an easy decision for us to make the purchase of our new lap top. Thanks again for your speedy help.

by:Chris Nicholson

The folks at Computer Elite have been looking after my computer for years and they are the epitome of customer service and trust. They care about their clients. I usually deal with Jason and he is so patient with those of us that are getting older and dont always understand the tech lingo. My husband said the other day "What would you do without Jason". That just about sums it up.

Thanks for a really great machine.... The biggest cost was the software and my multi-purpose fax/scanner/printer/copier. The 3100A+ runs well and is FAST!!!!!! The 512 DDR 333 RAM was also really nice to have in it. The price was good too!!! I feel like I am on high speed dial-up, even though I am on country cable... Wow what a noticeable difference. The browsers open and close with ease, and I can have several windows open at a time, plus I can now handle large E-mail files without crashing, and downloads are a snap, etc..... Thanks again.....

by:Mark

I have received what can be described as excellent service from both Joe and Dee to-date. They have assisted me in several instances for computer-related business. I highly recommend Computer Elite for anyone looking for a good quality product along with incredible customer service. Joe and Dee have already went beyond the extra mile for me in the short period of time which I've been dealing with them.

by:Chris Bailey

When shopping for a way to network a few home computers, I found a lack of interest in many Barrie area computer stores to help me. Then I called Computer Elite. Joe not only called me back, he spent 15 minutes on the phone with me. They then delivered to me what I needed (Joe and Dee). I later visited their store and was thoroughly impressed AGAIN! I am enjoying referring friends, family and colleagues to them as I feel they are providing both amazing service and prices! Chris

by:Jim Tanton

Thanks Joe and Dee, excellant service the computer is working like a charm. We much appreciate having you to call on when we have a problem and look forward to future business. The Lord bless you both

by:Mark Tulloch

Joe & Dee have been a tremendous help during our recent business move and installed new systems to keep up with our demands. Thanks for all your help guys!

by:Joan Clements

I would just like to say thank-you very much for all of the information and time that Joe and Dee has spent with me. Your customer service is beyond reproach, and I have highly recommended you to many of my friends here. Joe spent time with me on the phone to discuss a minor problem, --- as he walked me through, he wanted to check out other things and we ended up talking for over an hour --- no charge. I was having a problem with my printer, thinking that I would have to buy a new one, but Joe kept working with me and he finally go it going. This saved me money and cost him a sale and he did not charge me for the time he spent with me. Thank-you both Joe and Dee so much for all of your help these past weeks.

by:Val And Chris Bischof

We just bought our 3rd system off Joe and Dee. We cannot say enough about how well we were taken care right from the start. I have know Joe and Dee for sometime now and I cannot say enought about the systems they put together. 100% rock solid, I can say with out any hesitation. I would not look any place else for a computer system. Joe puts his pride into every system he builds. Just ask him to put a cheep component into one of his systems HE WILL NOT DO IT! What else can can be said? Val and Chris B.

by:Debbie Green

I never thought I would have to go out of the good old USA to find such a realible source to purchase a computer. Dee and Joe are the best, as are any of there Techs. We have had them rebuild a mess of a computer that we paid a small fourtune for and had them update it twice since. This past Spring Dee even helped me find a Laptop to suit my very needs. They are always friendly and very informative no matter if your problem be big or small. As far as I am concerned they are truly the best !! Debbie in Missouri

by:Sandi Firman

We have dealt with this company since its inception and have enjoyed excellent service and customer relations. We highly recommend Computer Elite to all of our friends and colleagues.

by:Brenda Ray

Computer Elite always finds me the best price for whatever component I'm shopping for - from mice to monitors. Plus they deliver on time and stand behind what they sell. You can't ask for more than that!

by:Scott Silverberg

I've been a customer of Computer Elite long before it officially became Computer Elite. This company, Joe & Dee, are painfully honest and trustworthy. You can be sure that your purchase is fully supported and priced right ! I have recomended this company to both family and friends, many of which, have done business here, and not once have I heard a complaint. Everyone seems to say thank you for sending them in the right direction. So, if you're reading this, and you're still not sure, give them a call and a chance to show YOU, Computer Elite is the place to go for computer sales and service. I don't mean to sound like a commercial, but I truthfully believe in Joe & Dee. Enjoy your Computer Elite experience.

by:Jason Brearley

As a recent customer of Computer Elite I am thoroughly pleased with my experience. Both Joe and Dee, approach their customer service with a refreshing honesty that is rare in today's commercial environment. All of my questions were clearly answered when I bought the computer and their customer support has been fantastic. I will definitely return to Computer Elite for all of my computing needs in the future.

This is one of the best resources for computer components and knowledge that I have found anywhere.
