Consider Your Options Before Hiring ‘Nerds’ or ‘Geeks’
Many Alexandria residents and businesses find themselves reluctant to seek technical assistance from self-proclaimed ‘nerds’ or ‘geeks’ for several reasons: one significant issue is the perceived attitude towards non-tech-savvy customers. Often, these tech enthusiasts may unintentionally come across as condescending or dismissive towards those who aren’t as knowledgeable about computers and technology…
This behavior can make customers feel undervalued or intimidated, which detracts from the overall service experience.
When people seek help with their computers, they want to be treated with respect and understanding, regardless of their level of technical expertise. Unfortunately, some tech service providers may upsell unnecessary products or services, assuming customers won’t know any better. This approach not only undermines trust but also fails to address the customer’s actual needs effectively.

EXCELLENTBased on 53 reviewsJL S2024-05-05Daryl is a magician. He came over yesterday and fixed issues with two MacBooks; an HP and a Canon printer; downloaded and taught me how to use pdf editing software; definitively proved my TV soundbar is defective and set up the new sound bar. All in what he claims was a one- hour appointment. I don’t know what I’d do without him.Anthony2024-03-20I took my PC to Best Buy in Bailey’s Crossroads, Virginia. The Geek squad department stated to me that they couldn’t make the necessary upgrades pertaining my GPU and power supply. Along with that, the customer service was terrible. So I did some research and googled “pc repairs near me” where I found Daryl. When I called Daryl and explained to him my PC problems, he greeting me with the best customer service I have received in a long time. Daryl allowed me to drop my PC off the same day as the initial conversation. He was very thorough with what maintenance needs to be done with the hardware, even letting me know that I can return some of the unnecessary parts (which allowed me to save money). I received my PC back earlier than expected, and an explanation on what was performed. I will continue to utilize Daryl for my PC needs and also spread his name to family and friends so that they can experience the greatness that Daryl offers. Thank you again.Steve Fong2024-01-16Darryl is swift, knowledgeable and professional. And the pricing is affordable.Christina K2024-01-05Daryl was very kind to quickly fit me in for a same-day appointment. He was professional, knowledgable, and friendly. I love that Daryl is a one-man shop so you know exactly who is supporting you and that you're in good hands.Single Representation Program2023-12-19Absolutely amazing. My business took my laptop to a bricks/mortar store with an excellent reputation that we have used in the past for upgrade to a 1TB drive. They tried very hard, but said that the laptop simply could not support a 1TB drive. Without the larger drive, the laptop was basically worthless for our business. On a lark, prior to my business discarding the computer, I took it to Daryl, mostly because he was close by. I really wasn't expecting anything. Amazingly, he upgraded the drive in days, determining that an esoteric change in the model specs by Dell had prevented the other shop from understanding how to upgrade. Daryl's knowledge of computers is truly amazing.Sonia Bartoli2023-11-16I have turned to Daryl of Mt. Vernon Computers more than once -- and will again. The computer he's repaired and upgraded for me is still going strong (and fast!) years later. Daryl is professional, a great communicator, and clearly knows his stuff! He's my go-to computer guy, and a specialist I won't hesitate to recommend!K. H.2023-11-01I am pleased and impressed by the quick response and services provided. I’d been dreading the task of getting my computer serviced and Daryl made it so easy. He picked it up, kept in touch regarding what it needed, and when he returned it, took the time to show me some shortcuts and navigation tools. A few weeks later, he kindly helped me over the phone to connect my printer to my computer. He is knowledgeable, easy to reach, and his rates are reasonable.Yhobi2023-10-20So far, I have received two computer emergency services from Mount Vernon Computes, and got a quick response, diagnosis, and repair in a matter of days! Not only fast services but also affordable prices. Daryl is excellent at explaining everything to give me peace of mind. I will keep using his services!Margaret Newman2023-10-10We have used Mt. Vernon Computers for several years. They provide excellent service and reasonable pricing. Daryl Elliot is extremely knowledgeable regarding any IT issue with your computer. We highly recommend Mt. Vernon Computers. You will not be disappointedMaria Luisa Rohde2023-10-02Pretty fantastic experience with Mount Vernon Computers. Daryl is VERY knowledgeable in his craft and explained succinctly what was happening with both my computers. I really appreciate when a subject matter expert does not dumb down or scoff at a client’s questions but understands how to impart thoughtfully what is technically happening. The price was more than reasonable. I highly recommend!
