 AI reviews summary 

The sentiment regarding Geekify is highly polarised, characterized by either exceptional praise for specific technicians or severe accusations of predatory business practices. While many users report successful repairs and helpful tutorials, a significant segment of customers describes the company as a "scam", citing aggressive upselling, non-delivery of paid products, and a lack of accountability.

Pros
  • Exceptional Technician Performance: Individual technicians, most notably Abbas, are frequently praised for being professional, polite, and highly skilled in resolving complex IT issues.
  • Effective Problem Solving: Users report successful outcomes for specific tasks including email recovery, printer setup, data transfers, and Wi-Fi mesh installations.
  • Educational Support: Several customers appreciated technicians taking the time to explain technical issues and providing tutorials on how to use new systems or software.
  • Punctuality and Speed: Positive experiences often highlight technicians arriving on time and completing repairs much faster than expected.
Cons
  • Predatory Sales and Overcharging: There are recurring reports of technicians performing minimal work before attempting to sell expensive, unnecessary hardware or quoting inflated prices for simple parts.
  • Poor Communication and No-Shows: Significant issues exist regarding missed appointments, unreturned phone calls, and a lack of direct contact with technicians once a deposit has been paid.
  • Refund and Deposit Disputes: Multiple users report difficulty obtaining refunds for services not rendered or orders never delivered, with some being threatened with legal action after attempting to cancel.
  • Misleading Identity: Several customers reported being confused by the company's branding or SEO, mistakenly believing they were booking a different, well-known competitor.
Verdict

Geekify appears to offer high-quality technical support when specific, reputable technicians are assigned to a case. However, the high frequency of reports regarding unfulfilled orders, aggressive sales tactics, and withheld refunds suggests a significant risk to consumers, particularly those who are less tech-savvy.

I rang geeks2u but somehow ended up with Geekify? They charged me $170 upfront and when the technician came out he basically took one look at my computer and told me it was old and began to convince me to buy a new Laptop. I initially wanted my phone to connect to my printer but we got distracted and this was never addressed. I asked what deal he… Read more

could do for me? I needed honesty!! He suggested I sign an agreement to get a new laptop and do all transfers, etc for$1500! Reasonable? Not at all! when the computer he quoted was entry level for $445 at officeworks? That meant he thought it reasonable to charge $1000 to transfer data and set up phone for printing and set up emails? Long story short! Yes I got a new computer and yes some data was transferred but at an unreasonable cost! I wish I hadn’t trusted his judgement. Never again!! Don’t use this company just a rip off !!

Never use this company. Tried to book a callout via Geeks2u. Somehow hijacked by this company. Had to pay $200 up front BEFORE booking. Got a call from a NSW number when having trouble making booking.Abbas came out. Clicked a couple of screens,… Read more

said my 6 y/o computer dying, need a new one, could sell me one. No I did not buy. Was thoroughly disgusted. In and out the door in 10 minutes and did nothing to resolve the situation. Notes back to 'head office' were rude.

 Follow-up  · Computer was not opening pages properly (often page or content was blank), Geekify agent literally clicked 2 or 3 screens and declared computer 'dying'. He could sell me a new one. I said no. Seriously, computer is only 6 years old. Notes stated 'very elderly lady', really, I'm only 70!! I stated from the start my hearing aid was being repaired so… Read more

I ordered and paid full price for a laptop on 5/2/2026. After 5 weeks I have not received my product and have had absolutely no contact from anyone about why or when I should expect to receive it. Extremely disappointing. Show 2 replies

 Follow-up  · Thankfully after literally jumping up and down screaming The Geeks put guru Sam on my case to clean up the mess. Absolute professional, good communicator and excellent technician (also a nice guy). Thank you Sam. Shame it took for me to get to breaking point but alls well that ends well

MY ADVICE BASED ON MY EXPERIENCE AND IN MY OPINION IS TO STAY AWAY FROM GEEKIFY!!!!! ZERO STARS SHOULD BE AN OPTION! Geekify are both RIP OFF MERCHANTS and INCAPABLE of resolving any issues. I was charged $150 and wasted over a month with a tech… Read more

who talked himself up, but who simply performed the same technical procedure that I told him I had already performed and that I advised him Apple had also already performed. On his first visit he advised he would need to use his own equipment as my laptop was too old. He made me pay and sign that the job had been completed and said he would come back to fix this issue and if he was successful, he would charge me (on the side another/under the table) a further $160. I was desperate - and so I agreed. The tech came to my home on multiple occasions because he failed each time to bring some of his equipment. Then he would call to say it was now to late as he would always arrange to come at night. He wanted to take my laptop and phone to his personal residence. Eventually I let him take the phone as it had already been restored to factory settings. But he refused to sign a document and instead took a photo and sent it to me with a text saying he had taken it. On one visit he opened his laptop and had PORNOGRAPHY playing!!!. Although he tried to quickly close the laptop, I had already seen it. Finally after having to become quite assertive, he returned and simply did the very procedure I had very clearly and repeatedly advised to him that I had already performed as had the Apple store. Not surprisingly, the same error occurred and so he finally said he could not help me. I had stated in the beginning that I had hoped to return the new phone I purchased at Apple if this issue could have been rectified within the 14-day return policy. This tech took over a month to do what I had told him had already been done and to then tell me he could not assist me. By this time the new phone could no longer be returned. My email to customer service remains unanswered and it has been over another month since I lodged my dissatifiaction. When I call Customer Service they say a Manger will call back but they have not. When I call to insist on a speaking with a Manager they hang up on me. Customer Service also lied and said they were located in Sydney, but when I asked if they were physically in Sydney as they were speaking with me, they again disconnected the call. They are clearly in the Philippines! I have raised a dispute with my bank fot the $150.(since the service was not delivered) in the first instance and they are still being unprofessional and making it difficult. It seems they have plenty of time to argue to keep my money but no time to train their techs, customer service or managers to deliver the service they advertise. MY ADVICE BASED ON MY EXPERIENCE AND IN MY OPINION IS TO STAY AWAY FROM GEEKIFY!!!!!

 Follow-up  · This highly unprofessional company has STILL never reached out to me. ACCC is now looking in to them. I would never reconmend this company to anyone - I would instead caution them based on my experience.

Paid for 1 hr service, technician came and spent 5 minutes looking at the PC and did not try anything.

He said no, so i let them take it and they took… Read more

absolutely WOULD NOT USE THIS COMPANY - i rang geeks 2 u and the number somehow transferred over to geekify. upon talking to someone with a very strong accent, I couldn't not figure out what he said when he answered the phone. I assumed he said geeks 2 you. upon making the booking (on a Tuesday) he then wanted payment upfront of $170.00 and wanted… Read more

my bank card details - which i said I'm not giving until they come out..... I said I'm not paying until they come out (booking was made for the following Thursday) more than 48 hours away. i just felt something was not right, so i rang back 2 MINUTES LATER and informed them i wanted to cancel the appointment - they then proceeded to send me 3 emails - 1 of them stating i needed to pay $170.00 for the call out fee. the Tech never came out; the appointment was only booked 2 minutes before!! Geekify have now emailed saying if i don't pay within 48 hours they will take me to court to get the $170.00. what a joke. i then rang them again (after reading the email about taking me to court) informing them i WILL NOT BE PAYING for something that never happened, and that i only made the appointment 2 minutes ago, and the appointment was more than 48 hours away etc etc...... again, a person with strong accent called [Name Removed], then hung up on me! DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY

Terrible. They didn't manage to clean up my old computer. They stuffed us their appointment times. The charged me $170 for nothing and offered to fix it up for an extra $400. I feel extorted and disappointed. Go to Geeks2U instead. They are much more professional and reliable.

Beware! My husband filled out an online form for somebody to come and fix his computer. He thought he was getting Geeks to U which we know are very trustworthy. Unfortunately he filled out the form for Geekify. We did not discover this until they had lied to us and ripped us off. The problem with the computer was that it needed a new Wifi card.… Read more

They told us it would cost over $400. They then offered to provide us with a new laptop and set it up for us etc. Because we thought we were dealing with Geeks to U we trusted them. I started to get a bit suspicious when the guy left and we then realised that my husband had mistakenly contacted Geekify. To cut a long story short, we ended up getting a new laptop at considerable cost. We did some research and discovered we could have got a new Wifi card for $15 and fit it ourselves! We had other problems which I won't go into but DON'T MAKE THE MISTAKE WE MADE. Make sure your are not contacting GEEKIFY. The customer service appalling and they are rip off merchants.

Absolutely terrible experience with Geekify. They didn't show up at all on the scheduled day, and despite numerous phone calls and attempts to follow up, I never heard back from anyone. What makes it worse is that they kept my $150.00 deposit that they required before anyone would come out! No service was provided. Completely unprofessional… Read more
