Booked online on Tuesday 21/07/26 at around 5.50pm. Around 30 mins later managed to get the problem fixed myself so attempted to cancel. Clicked on the "Cancel Booking " button on my confirmation email and a page came up saying cannot cancel online. Attempted to cancel via their contact number and got a message saying they would not be available… Read more
until 6am eastern states time.(I live in WA). Called the next morning to cancel they then told me as per their terms I would be charged a fee because I had not given 24 hours notice. I. pointed out that I could not give 24 hour notice due to 2 issues. 1 My booking was made at 5.30 pm for 8am the following day. 14.5 hours from my booking time. . 2. I was not able to cancel the booking either online or by phone until 6am WA time the following morning. They said on this occasion they would not charge me but any future bookings would be subject to the cancellation charge. So be warned do book anytime within a 24 hour period incase you have to cancel and only book during their office hours
From my experience just trying to book....well very shonky. She said they only do remote, not one technician in my area. Ended up she said they had no technicians and no clue where or when I could do so in the whole of the South west (Bunbury) I rang Officeworks and let them know, not a good look.

Excellent experience – To start with booking an appointment with Geeks2U was the easiest thing I have ever done. Casey was on time and very friendly but professional. He spoke to me in terms that I could understand and was very thorough in investigating and fixing all my technical problems with my laptop and computer. I would highly recommend Casey and Geeks2U to anyone. Show reply

10/10 service & price for setting up my printer – My frustration was excruciating with setting up my new printer. I needed help. I recalled seeing the Geeks2U gift card at officeworks when I bought the printer, so decided to call them and get help. A lovely lady took my call at nearly 5:30 and we arranged someone to be here at 8am the next morning to help. Josh was lovely, easy to understand, and most importantly knew what he was doing. Was done in 30 minutes! By 9am I was fully operational. Show reply
OUTSTANDING CUSTOMER SERVICE – Paul was polite and friendly. He explained everything he was doing as he worked through a solution for my 'hard-disk drive failure'. I appreciate everything Paul did and his honesty with the 'future life' of my computer - it is 12 years old, after all. Paul managed to kick some life into it and it will last - "how long is a piece of string?" My… Read more · 1
computer is working again :) I was happy to pay extra for same day service. Paul was worth every dollar spent! Thanks Paul!!!
They've bailed out on me this week TWICE cancelling my appointment, probably because bigger more lucrative jobs and closer are preferenced. Don't bother, book some else.

I had called up Geeks2U to have a look at my computer as it stopped delivering a signal to my monitor, i thought it was the graphics card at first as i had purchased it second hand, it wasn't the graphics card but the monitor. I also had them install a new AIO liquid Cooler and a New Power Supply for my system. The technician handling my computer… Read more
had informed me that he didn't see anything wrong with the previous power supply's cables and wanted to plug them in to the new power supply unit, they also claimed that i told them to keep my brand new graphics card which is false, and i requested to have returned to my possession. Upon receiving my system back i noticed the AIO fans are not spinning, cables are littered everywhere and my front fans are now more inner then they were upon sending it in for repair. My glass side panel was also covered in smudges and still is, not happy. I will not recommend.

Follow-up · My $200 fee was refunded the next day so that was pleasing the only explanation was " its to far to travel " from there place at Cameron Park they wouldn't come to my place but would travel to rutherford which is the same distance if not a little further
The above is an accurate summary

Chris the specialist technician was ABSOLUTELY AMAZING. He addressed each and every issue to our utmost satisfaction. We had quite a long list but that didn't phase him. He spoke in a language we seniors can understand. I wouldn't hesitate to engage geeks 2u at any time. We are so impressed. Show reply
Follow-up · It's been a while since I had the service. I am not experiencing any problems at present but I wouldn't hesitate to engage them again. I would have them in an instant. Excellent value and the visits had no waiting time at all.

Bouquet back :-) After an initial positive experience, where my computer problem appeared fixed by Gene, the issue resurfaced the next time I turned the computer on. I called to report this and was told a technician would get back to me, however that didn't happen in a timely way. After I changed my positive review, and then a further 4-5 more… Read more · 5
contacts between Geeks2U and I, 3 weeks later I did get the technician back as promised to revisit the job. I'm happy to say Gene from Geeks2U attended again and has hopefully diagnosed the issue with my computer. Hopefully, the problem will now be fixed once and for all! We got there in the end, thanks Geeks2U.
Eleanora did a fantastic job of connecting me to the NBN. She was so thorough and efficient and made sure everything was up and running well before she left. I couldnt be more pleased. Show reply
Called geeks2U today for emergency phone problems for my mother in law’s phone. They were able to send someone to her within 2 hours and although they were unable to fix it, they stuck by there no fix no fee policy which is absolutely brilliant. The guys we dealt with today were fantastic. Will use them again for sure. Show details · 1

These guys are useless, was at my house for 8 minutes in total did exactly what i had already done then said couldn't help but still charged, when I emailed and complained, no response ! ** I can now say that after I posted here I was contacted by Geeks and a full refund has now been received.

I booked my Appt with a G2U consultant. I specifically made sure my appointment was early enough as I am a shift worker and time sensitive. I left my credit card details via their sms portal reminder "to make payment easier on the day" the night before my appointment. No probs .... My appt was for 9-9.30am ... 10.30am still no show and not even… Read more
a courtesy call that the tech is running late. I waited to 10.45am ... then I called G2U to cancel the visit. The consultant stated it was going to cost me the cancellation fee as it is within the 24 hour penalty charge ... I repeated again, actually 3 times, my cancellation is due to the tech not showing up. She was " kind to offer me 50% off the cancellation penalty fee " ... lol I stated my situation again ... 4th time and she decided this time only, will they waiver the cancellation fee ... just this time.
Okay, because I am not going back again to use their service ... very poor and disappointed as I was looking for a solution to my laptop problem.

Booked an appointment 1 month early. Took leave to have the technician fix my computer. Never turned up. Called them and they couldn't get hold of him. Was asked to book on another day. I could have been notified of this. Waste of time and poor customer service.

wasted and at this point I felt its surely time to cancel as based on the days experience, I doubted the appointment would be kept. When I finally got thru to the overseas service centre they advised me they need a min 24hr cancellation so I will be charged! After losing my patience with this farse I was finally told I will not be charged. This was a horrific experience and a complete waste of an entire day...I will never use or recommend this company and wish anyone wishing to do so the best of luckl

I arranged for a technician to come out to one of our staff on Tuesday. On Wednesday the staff member had the same issue reoccur. I had to call to authorise the staff member to get a follow-up call with the technician.

call him back immediately. No call. It's now Thursday and I'm on hold again.... Unfortunately, the staff member has travelled to Melbourne so all we'd like (and happy to pay for it) is for the same technician to give us a call back. Previously been quite happy with Geeks2U but now I'll be looking elsewhere for support.

Disappointing. Called up for an indicative quote. Clearly explained what I needed. Printer set up on a LAN and a corrupt file replaced so I can access a laptop.

I booked an appointment and specifically rang back to ensure I was sent a technician comfortable with my little dogs. I explained they’d sleep the whole two hours I intended to have the assistance of the technician but they would just up for the… Read more
first minute or so. I was assured my request could be catered for.
They sent a technician who was very unimpressed with the dog situation before even entering. He said he had allergies and was VERY worried about his white pants. I explained the explicit request I had made for someone ok with dogs.
He entered, the dogs did jump and he immediately started scowling and growling at them while dancing around to protect his pants. After a minute or two the dogs laid down but he carried his unprofessionalism into the support he offered me. He was dismissive, short and rude.
I called him out on it and expressed I wasn’t happy with the way he was communication with me. He asked if I wanted to cancel, I said yes, he tapped his phone and silently walked himself out, leaving the baby gates we use as a backup to ensure the dogs don’t get out, wide open. All of this happened in the matter of 7 minutes. To top it off, as the door banged behind him, I get an email with an invoice for $150.
I complained to customer service and they did say they were sorry but excused the technicians behaviour as probably due to him having a bad day.
Got my money refunded but was left with a computer that still wasn’t functioning and the task of finding someone less offensive to fix it. Had a great guy from a Geeks2U competitor come out. He fixed the computer competently and let the dogs sleep soundly in the room where he worked. No totally unnecessary drama and complete respect for the home he had entered.
Follow-up · At first I thought the booking process was flawless. The phone arrangements left me feeling everything was in place and that Geeks2U were highly organised. From that I felt more secure that a competent technician would arrive willing to help in a friendly way. That couldn’t have been further than the truth. Whilst the technician’s childish and… Read more

Disappointed. I had my PC repaired by Geeks2U in November and by January it had failed again. I did use them many years ago, and the service was better then. I tried to get assistance from the geek who had assisted me, but got no response. Very expensive repair for just two months of service.

DISGRACE & SCAM They advertise no fix no fee. At the end of the booking process, I asked for confirmation if no fix no fee applies and she told me that it doesn’t.
