Softserve PC is the best at rushing to my aid when Ive jammed up the computer. I have never had to wait more than 1 day for their help. I typically send an email outlining the problem and amazingly they will email me back with a simple solution. Works every time! If its something that cannot be fixed remotely they will come over asap.We have purchased two custom-built computers from Softserve and are very happy with both of them. The new computers cost way less than purchasing them at a big box store!
I would highly recommend this company! Marvin was very quick to answer my call and assist me with my folks computer. They are in assisted living and their computer is their lifeline. Very knowledgeable, honest, reasonable and in our case compasionate. Hope we wont need to call again anytime soon, but if we do I wouldnt use anyone else.
I called SoftservePC for the first time, after struggling for 2 weeks with rebuilding an old laptop for my grandson. Marvin quoted a very reasonable cost to work on the BIOS, which I kinda suspected was messed up. Unfortunately, the machine was too old and the BIOS was inaccessible. He said, as he couldn’t fix it (no fault of his), he wouldn’t charge me. Try getting that anywhere else!Marvin must have heard the disappointment in my voice when I told him that this was going to be an early 11th birthday present for my grandson.Then he made me an offer I could not believe. He said, that he believed in my mission and was going to donate a used laptop and get it all ready for the original quote. I insisted that he charge me something for the laptop. So, he quoted a small token for the machine.Not only did he rebuild the machine as a new device, he also gave us an almost new HP laptop - a whole lot better than my original 2012 vintage.My grandson will be ecstatic when he receives a lot more than what he was expecting. Marvin is going to make him really, really happy. Plus, he has made an old grandpa very appreciative - and a long term customer. SoftservePC now will get 100% of my computer business.Thank you so much, Marvin. And bless you!
If you are looking for excellent quality and value plus highly rated professionals and responsiveness, Softserve PCs is the place to go!Have never been disappointed in their service as they go above and beyond what is expected!Julia Earl1/29/21
Thank you so much for helping! My son changed the language to his computer and you were able to help me figure out step by step to get it back to English. You were patient and easy to work with. I will definitely come back for repairs if needed in the future
Awesome company. This is the only company I will ever use for anything regarding my laptop & home computer needs. I took my laptop to The Geek Squad for a simple repair job & they did nothing but charge me too much & they actually made my laptop worse, I took it to Softserve PCs & they fixed it for free. They totally rock.
Softserve PC’s, Inc., is the absolute best. From appointment setting to the actual setting up of my computer, they were organized, professional, patient (I am NOT “computer” oriented,) thorough and reasonable. I highly recommend Softserve PC’s, and will be using them for all of my future computer updating and issues. Thank you, Softserve!
With Marvin as my tech support, I know that computer-related challenges are one less thing I need to worry about. He is perfect for folks like me who appreciate high quality service and being able to leave the details to him. Thank you, Marvin!!
Softserve PC is a must to have on your team. Our computer died and we were in kind of jam. The computer had a lot issues. It was definitely time for a new one. Marvin got the old clunker running enough to get us buy while he built us a new machine. It took about week to get the new machine. Just in time!!! The fantastic thing about the whole experience is that we got an awesome computer and all we had to do is plug it in and get back to business. Marvin dug right in to find out what we exactly needed in a computer. I got a ton more computer for the price, plus less frustrating than a purchase from a big box store.
I reached out to have a new computer built and am very satisfied with the unit Marv delivered. He went a step further and set up a back up plan for our company with both local and cloud auto backups. As business owners theres a lot of things we cant control. Thanks to Marv, we are confident data loss wont be one of them. I highly recommend Softserve PC.
Marvin is amazing! Always happy with the work he does on our computers! Fair prices and awesome service!
I just recently found Marvin and SoftservePC even though we both live in Tualatin. My 5+ year old laptop was showing signs of failure, so I purchased a new one on Thursday afternoon, dropped it of with Marvin on Friday afternoon and he had everything transferred and set up Saturday evening. Its been running great and the price was reasonable. I highly recommend him!
I wanted a high end computer built for my graphics needs. I hired Soft Serve due to all their good reviews and the capability to build the kind of computer I needed. Marvin was great at trying to save me money on the components and always offering great advice. In the end he saved me money and did an excellent job building me the computer I needed. I found my computer guy! Marvin has tons of experience, is reliable, trustworthy and really knows his stuff. I would not hesitate to call him next time I need computer help wether it be big or small.
I have been working with Marvin for several years. He has built two PCs for me in that time, and I have never had any breakdowns. He gives explicit proactive guidance on what to do and what to look for. He is always willing and available to answer the most simple of my questions with patience, and as teachable moments. He knows his stuff and is a great part of my overall support system in life. Thanks to Marvin and Rita for doing such a fantastic job.
Softserve PC did an excellent job of saving all my documents and repairing my HP all in one while making it a much better machine for a very reasonable cost too!They also built me a new work computer that has all the bells and whistles you could ever want, a free yearly maintenance program, and again, at a very reasonable price for the quality of the PC I have now with a nice back up system as well.Marvin always makes himself for your computer needs and questions, whether it is in home or business service, and I have always found him very reliable and trustworthy.
Friendly. Talks in terms I understand. Gets the job done no matter how puzzling it is. Always on time or earlier if convenient for me. Responds to my e-mail within a short time. Always the same day. I am in good hands with Marvins work and Rita, his wife, is a delight to talk with when calling to make an appointment. The best experience I have ever had with a computer tech.
Marvin is a technical wizard. My computer completely died and he was able to recover all the data I wanted and needed from my hard drive. He was very helpful in guiding me to a new computer, setting it up and understanding new basic functions. I plan to use Marvins tutorial services to gain more computer knowledge. He is punctual, very thorough, very kind, reasonably priced and very professional. After years of getting frustrated by online or phone computer service technicians, I finally feel like I am dealing with someone who really knows his stuff and cares about fixing things the right way. I highly recommend Marvin for any computer repair or questions you may have.
Excellent service and work with a very strong customer service focus. Very timely and fair priced. This should be your computer tech 1st call!
I had called around in efforts to fix my Lenovo Thinkpad Lap top. I utilized Microsoft mobile services, PC assistance, and even went to the Geek Squad in a desperate measure to figure out why my relatively new computer was operating poorly. I finally found Marvin and Soft-serve PC. The other companies made my computer worse over a 2 week period, and the Geek squad quoted me $200 just for an initial diagnostic (and scheduled me 3 weeks out!) Marvin was able to repair the damage done to my computer, and upgrade my hard-drive for less than the geek-squads diagnostic quote! And he had it done in 2 days! My computer operates better than it did the day I bought it! So grateful I found them, and will definitely refer anyone with computer troubles to this guy. Thanks again Marvin.
Ive been using Softserve PC for over 5 years now. Marvin, the owner, is great! He is extremely knowledgeable and current on the latest technologies (and all the problems that go along with them). Best of all, Marvin is completely trustworthy and honest. He always gives me options to solve my issues and is very transparent about what it will cost. That is why I keep using Softserve year after year.August 2019 updateI had to add to my previous review because since then Marvin built me a custom desktop that is SUPER fast. I shopped around and could not find a better deal than what Marvin was offering. He uses the best quality components and stands behind them. I like the fact that if anything goes wrong I can call Marvin and he will take care of it. And to top it all off, he copied everything over from my old computer right down to the bookmarks, preferences, etc. Marvin does not miss a thing!
Im self-employed as an author. My computers/Internet access are my lifeline in my work. I primarily use a lap top with several back ups. Ive used Softserve PC for my technical/computer issues for about five years for different needs and Ive been more than satisfied with all the work done. Ive had computers cleaned, restored, backed up and connected through several moves. The work is done efficiently, in terms I understand and is always timely. Ive Im a very enthusiastic repeat customer. I highly recommend the Softserve team!
Ive had Marvin (Soft Serve PCs) work on my computers since 2013 and am so very pleased with his all the services he offers. He deserves a 5 star rating. I have no hesitation in recommending him to anyone as he is by far the BEST Computer guy out there. I see him once a year for my computer Maintenance / problem solving check ups. He is so knowledgeable about computers and is patient about explaining things to me that even I can understand.
I have been using Soft Serve PC for 8 years. Marvin is the best. I would not trust anyone else to work on my devices. He is honest, ethical, and extremely knowledgeable. Please do not hesitate to use his company.
I seldom give five star reviews, but in Marvins case (Softserve PC) I can genuinely say he deserves it. He knows his stuff and works quickly and efficiently to resolve issues. We have used him both for repairs and new equipment for about 15+ years. Recommend him highly!
Working with Softserve PCs has been excellent. They are easy to schedule with and work with - usually at your house. Marvin cleaned up my laptop, set up a back-up system and then replaced a failing hard drive. My laptop is like new after owning it for 3 years. I highly recommend Softserve PCs.
Marvin has been helping us with our computers for many years. He always gets it right. He does everything computer related & is the only one I will call. Easy to make appointments with Rita & many times he gets us sorted out by phone. The best!
We have been using Marvin, Softserve PCs, Inc. for several years and our experience has been exceptional. Marvin works miracles with our computer issues and at a lower cost than some others we have used. He completely rebuilt my computer and I could not be happier. And he comes to you so you dont need to disconnect everything and take your system across town. What more do you need? Call; you wont be sorry.
Ive used Marvin for several years, once to set up a new computer (getting rid of all the promotional stuff, etc., and making it more efficient), and once for a technical issue. The computer setup turned out to be more difficult than expected due to a number of atypical programs I use to do investments and music stuff. Marvin worked on it until it was all taken care of and only charged me the amount of the original quote, even though I offered to pay more since it took longer than he quoted. I also referred him to my father when Dad had printing issues, and Marvin was able to quickly clear it up for him. Another happy customer. I frequently recommend Marvin (Softserve PCs Inc.) to friends and have never heard a negative comment from those who have used the service.
Marvin is a pleasure to work with and is able to explain things in a non-technical manner, which is much appreciated. We’ve had him service our computers in-home before we decided it was time for a new one. He custom built our new PC with only the functionality we personally need and we are very happy with it. We highly recommend Marvin for any of your computer needs.
Had a severe computer problem that Google, Costco Concierge, and my computer savvy friends could not figure out. Sent a message to Softserve and without even looking at the computer he knew exactly what the problem was and how to fix it. Friendly, professional, knowledgeable, and affordable. Im definitely calling Marvin again for my future PC needs.
This is the best company Ive ever had the experience to work with. Very knowledgeable and I learned a lot working with Marvin. Extremely reasonable pricing. Couldnt be happier with the whole experience.
Marvin has been serving our needs for several years. We find Marvin to be most qualified and is always quick to rectify any issues.Marvins appointments are punctual and he always has a friendly attitude.We would highly recommend Marvins services.
Marvin (Softserve PCs, Inc.) has fantastic 5 star service. He is very knowledgeable and professional. He also communicates extremely well with his customer and is very good at providing options for both service and upgrades. 35 years of experience pays off! I would always refer Marvin (Softserve PCs Inc.) for reputable, reasonably priced PC service.
Marvin was very instrumental in helping us with our computer needs. He has great insight, knowledge and experience. He built me a computer that is amazing! We will continue to use him for all of our PC needs.
I have been using Softserve PC for over 10 years. We have 3 desktops and 1 laptop that were built by Marvin. He is the only one that I have service our computers. It is a comfort having someone you can trust. He always shows up on time and is quick to respond on making appointments. You will never be disappointed with his products or service. I would give him 10 stars if this was an option.
Marvin has serviced our computers for 4 years and built one for us 2 years ago. The computer has performed flawlessly. Softserve responds quickly to questions or requests for service and has been very helpful with ways to improve our computers performance. Excellent service!
Marvin knows what he’s doing when it comes to working with PCs. He’s been in the business a long time and knows what works and what doesn’t. He will give you straight up advice and help you solve your PC problems. He’s been my go to guy and now I have taken my sisters work to him as well. We’re going to continue to do that.Chris.
Marvin at Softserve PCs has been my computer person for over 10 years. He has built two computers for me and I have been very satisfied with them. He is accessible, prompt and explains clearly what needs to be done and why. His prices are very reasonable. It is great to have a person to turn to who really knows what he is doing.
Marvin really helped me through some complex Windows PC issues. I was trying to apply some third party themes and in the process I corrupted the operating system and my PC would no longer boot. I thought for sure that I had lost all my data but he was able to recover the data on the drive and migrate everything to a new and faster hard drive. He also fixed a ton of configuration issues and driver updates which has resulted in making my PC run like a new machine. I would highly recommend Marvin for any PC issue, large or small. I have worked in the tech industry as a software developer all my life but in all my years of work in that field, I have never encountered anyone on the hardware side that was as knowledgeable as Marvin. I feel that a 5 star rating does not due him justice. Hes a 5 plus for sure.
Marvin is a master at his craft. He has been installing, upgrading, repairing desktops and laptops for us for 10-years. He somehow found a way to extract unsaved data from my laptop when its hard drive failed, and there was no real backup system in place. He had warned me about getting one several times, and I had not done so. He has installed them now!Marvin is reliable, pleasant, punctual, as is Rita.2-thumbs up!
Softserve PCs is an outstanding service and I highly recommend it.. Marvin is prompt, courteous, thorough, effective and caring. He wants his customers to have a good computer life. You will be impressed.
Marvin has been my computer guru for five years now. He is always extremely responsive, knowledgeable, kind and helpful. I highly recommend him!
I was very fortunate to find Marvin Somerton of Softserve PCs, Inc. eight years ago when I had purchased a computer and didnt have the slightest idea of how to transfer files. Knowing that my brother was itching to try to fix that situation, I asked Marvin if he would like to have his hands on my computer first before my brother. The result was a smooth transfer of files and programs, and I was able to retain my mental sanity.This year I had Marvin build me a state-of-the-art PC. My files are, once again, intact. Marvin is an excellent teacher and showed me how to turn on ads if I needed to unblock them. It is wonderful to be able to read news on the internet without those annoying ads popping up, talking when Im trying to read, or have sound when I dont want it.Marvin is always punctual, professional, patient, and fair and goes above and beyond the call of duty to make everything right. He recommends backup systems, does maintenance, and takes the frustration out of technical ownership.Marvins wife, Rita, makes it easy to schedule appointments. I never have to worry about turning over my PC and data to Marvin. That, in and of itself, is peace of mind.
Marvin has been great to work with and im a very difficult customer. he has repaired my old computers and built a new computer for me and wasnt willing to stop until i was completely satisfied.Marvin is reliable and timely and im a lifetime customer as he keeps my machine running in tip top shape.
Marvin is my go-to dude for tech problems. Im pretty dim when it comes to technology, but he is never impatient and explains things well. He coached me as to which new computer I should buy for my needs and budget.
Great honest service
Softserve PC is great! I took my laptop in to see if it could be fixed, Marvin gave me a thorough diagnosis, detailed recommendation on services/ purchasing a new pc, and then a week later - he had an entirely different rebuilt computer for me at an amazing price with all of my files and programs on it. We are really happy with the new pc, its all we needed and more at a fraction of the cost. Thanks so much Marvin for providing such great service at an incredible price. I highly recommend Softserve PC!
Up in the PW Northwest launching another store and bought comptier etc at Best Buy and went to launch and the computer did not work they had messed up the computer Pos and also the receipt printer drivers. And Geek Squad Best Buy in Tigard could not get me into fix for at least 4 days; even though an emergency and sorts their fault at anothe store . Got his name from person waiting in line and called. He got me in and fixed my computer that day so we could be up and running next day for customers. Could not be happier . Really nice person and the best service ever . Thank you !
Marvin Somerton and wife Rita have been servicing my laptop computer for over eight years. Marvin has done excellent work with great efficiency. He has helped me with a good deal of technical information in addition to software maintenance and upgrading.Two years ago I ordered a larger screen laptop built to my specifications from Marvin. The machine is a major upgrade from my previous off the shelf model. More recently, he installed a hybrid hard drive, which makes this laptop run even faster and more seamlessly than before.I highly recommend Softserve PCs, and yes, Marvin will even return a cell phone call to solve a technical issue or problem when that is appropriate. Highly recommended. KH
My previous review was based off of frustration, assumption and a missed call. While digging for info on my stolen laptop, I was able to pull IP access info from my MS account. The IP was listed as attributed to Softserve PCs address. Marvin called me back after I left him a rather harsh voicemail. He introduced himself, and was very calm, honest and ready to assist in any way to help me retrieve my stolen goods, even though I had just left him a nasty VM and a really nasty review here. I couldnt have been more wrong. Probably could have avoided the whole situation if I just read a few of the other reviews. I couldnt see the logic through the flames of my hatred for someone who takes what isnt there with no regret, shame or remorse. After speaking with Marvin for a solid 20 minutes, I feel all those things for leaving the messages I did. I would and will be recommending him for any IT related service my friends in that area might need. Hes a stand up, straight forward and honest person who cherishes his integrity. It was a good conversation brought on by poor decisions. Thanks Marvin! Im glad I was able to talk with you and clear things up. Cheers!
Puntcual, profesional and primarily accurate..all tweaks and repairs work ! and Marvin will work after hours, remotely, to fix something..starting with Softserve, no reason to change horses: very happy.
He and Rita are friendly, helpful and proactive in keeping our systems going!
Marvin has been building PC’s (and servicing my computer needs) for more than 15 years. Great service from a nice guy.
Marvin is the best!
Marvin is a godsend! He has built 3 computers for us and weve been very happy. Marvin is very knowledgeable, efficient and bails us out when were in a pickle.
