Daryl has always done exactly what needs to be done, for the price quoted, and in the time estimated. He doesn’t take advantage of my relative tech ignorance, and answers all of my questions – even the stupid ones. You can’t go wrong.Read full review
Mount Vernon Computers is my go to computer repair shop every time I have a problem or need help with my computer. Daryl is so nice and professional that you’re not scared to ask a question. He has helped me get a computer with motherboard problems repaired and another computer with GPU problems fixed. I got a new computer and needed help so I called them and Daryl was kind enough to do a video call and walked me through my problem and eventually solved it! 10/10 Highly recommend!Read full review
My teenager did not properly back up her laptop. So, when it totally crashed she lost access to her English final and all her junior year school files. In a panic we called Daryl on a Sat morning. He was able to retrieve all her files and make them available for use on either a PC or Mac. We have both and were not sure which computer would be used to finish up the school year. We had the all her files by 6pm that same Sat. You will not go wrong with Daryl. His prices are reasonable and we found him knowledgeable and honest. We will be using Daryl again for any future problems.Read full review
Frequently asked questions
How does remote support work?
You download a small, secure app, give us a one-time code, and we connect to your screen while you watch. You stay in control and can end the session at any time.
Is remote support safe?
Yes. Sessions are encrypted, only start when you share a code with us, and you can disconnect at any time. Never give remote access to anyone who contacts you unexpectedly.
What can be fixed remotely?
Software problems, email and Outlook issues, slow computers, printer drivers, virus cleanup, updates, and how-to questions. Hardware problems usually need an on-site visit.
How much does it cost?
Every job is different, so we diagnose the problem first and give you a clear, upfront quote before any work begins — no surprises. And with our No Fix, No Fee guarantee, if we can't fix it, you don't pay for the repair. Call 703-635-4265 for a quick estimate.
When are you available?
We schedule visits Monday through Saturday, 9 AM to 7 PM, with same-day response on most requests. Emergency service is available for urgent problems.
