Too Cute Spotty Dog6 August 2022 - 2:09 pmI took the plunge and upgraded from Windows 10 to Windows 11. Ok. It looks slicker, a bit of window dressing as far as aesthetics are concerned, and I won’t go into Window’s 11’s features and functions. But the thing that immediately strikes you is …

Excellent customer service, called to see if they could help regarding my laptop and advised me to try something first (all for free over the phone). Did that and it seems to have worked. Thanks for your authentic and professional service.

I was very happy with Iain's service and the new computer he supplied me is great. I was quite concerned about Windows 7 finishing but Iain made the transition so easy I should have done it earlier!My new machine is terrific and I highly recommend him. His service is personalised and he takes the time to listen to you.

It was time for a new computer and I came across Iain's business after a google search. I have since purchased my new computer from Iain and have been nothing short of impressed with his business ethic, professionalism, expertise and realistic prices. My new computer is simply fantastic and Iain didn't try to sell me anything I didn't need (he even provided me with free advice over the phone). We run a small business and have now chosen to have Iain attend to any future computer repairs or sales.

Very helpful advice, and my problem was sorted out on the spot (pun intended) :-)It was the classic recovery of data on a hard drive when the computer won't start up.Thank you for helping me out of a sticky situation.

I've been dealing with Spotty Dog Computer Services for as long as I can remember. Probably around 18 years. Iain has supplied us with several Laptops and Computers over the years, and has assisted us with any IT issues along the way. I would happily recommend him for any computer related problems.

He knows what he is talking about although comes across a bit pretentious. Overall great services and he is really a nice guy.

I needed a new PC for my family business, and I was just going to buy off the shelf at one of the big retail stores. But after talking with Spotty Dog, I decided to go with a custom built PC. As Iain explained, we had the benefit of choosing what components were used and their quality. I have been very pleased with the resulting speed and performance, not to mention the reliability. I am so glad I didn't just buy what the retailers were trying to clear off the shelf.

Ian has been our computer Technician for at least 15years. He is knowledgeable and efficient at his work. We email him and get a response within 24hours. In the last 15 years we have purchased and had Ian build a number of computers for us. We have always found him to be prompt and friendly.

We have used Iain (Spotty Dog Computers) for probably over 15 years. He has built & supplied us with many computers for both our business and personal use over that period. He has dealt with all our maintenance and repairs issues immediately, meaning his service is excellent. We consider his charges are very reasonable and will continue to use Spotty Dog Computers into the future.

I'm very pleased to be writing this review on Spotty Dog Computer Services. Firstly I cannot believe that such a talented web designer as Iain is a local, the web page he designed for me is out of this world and I still feel it's the best deal I've had.The after sales service is what I also like as Iain always makes himself available if I want changes done or things included and he always gives me good advice so I don't make any mistakes. I highly recommend this company to anyone looking for quality, service and value for money, it ticks all the boxes for me. Eric Shields

Thanks to Iain from Spotty Dog Computer Services for his prompt service and excellent advice. When the home computer finally bit the dust, Iain gave me a fast assessment on the benefits of repairing versus replacement, and his direct advice and knowledge was refreshing. Iain had me up and running again with a new PC fully installed and operating in less than 24 hours. Highly recommended computer service provider.

We have used Iain – Spotty Dog Computer Services for over 8 years now from custom building & installing computers to suit our business needs; to repairs and the design of our website along with ongoing maintenance of our website; advice on email management and data backup options. When we have had an install of a new computer or software, the transition is smooth and the downtime is very minimal. Iain is very experienced in diagnosing a computer issue and issues are resolved quickly. Most importantly, he is honest, upfront and reliable and he provides a great service at a very reasonable cost both onsite and at his business.

I had an issue with my Outlook giving me an error message saying there was a problem connecting to the Gmail IMAP Server. I called Microsoft to see if they could fix it but they said they had no idea what was causing it. So I called Spotty Dog Computers and talked to Iain. He got me to take it to his office and leave it while he checked it out. To my surprise, later the same day I got a phone call telling me my Laptop was ready to pick up. You've gotta be happy with that kind of Service!!

WARNING ! To All Potential Website Customers -My Story -5 Months ago after searching through suitable Web Developers my wife and I settled on a Local Caboolture Computer Shop that promised they could not only supply the website that we needed, but that our website was guaranteed to have the WOW Factor.Previously they had fixed our computer and we where comfortable they would give us the wow site we wanted.Little did we realize that the WOW factor would refer to just how badly our website would be built and the Speed of our new $3500 website was the biggest Wow, Pages dropped out constantly,pages took over a minute at times to load and the site was breaking all over the place. It was unusable and so slow customers where leaving in droves.The money we paid took all of our resources and after 5 months left us with a site that was failing badly. Speed was our number one concern and here we had a site that was slower enough to make customers leave in droves.It was obvious we where losing customers and money because of the speed and page drop outs.We received a half built site that was amateur at best and completely useless.ENTER SPOTTY DOG- It was at this point where we sought the assistance of Iain from Spotty Dog Computers, as we simply had to get our site out of the current web developers hands and into someone that knew not only how to fix the speed but to set out our Website the way we wanted it.Iain not only managed to give us the site we wanted, his advice led us into building a site we are not only proud of, but our customers love it too.BEWARE- Just because your Local Computer Shop fixes computers, does not mean you will get an experienced Web designer or that they will produce what they promise in regards to building a website.SPOTTY DOG COMPUTERS - Guaranteed ! After dealing with several Developers I believe Spotty Dog Computers can deliver ANY website requirement needed, Iain has extensive knowledge in WordPress and this extensive knowledge is Impressive to say the least.Needless to say, Spotty Dog Computers now Host our Website, Maintain our Website and advise us on any changes we want to make in regards to Improvements.To say I am grateful we found Spotty Dog is an understatement.BUSINESS OWNERS NEEDING A WEBSITE - If you are looking for a business website or E-commerce store, then I offer you the chance to avoid my Mis-Fortune, give Iain from Spotty Dog Computers a call and save yourself a lot of money and heartache.If we had chosen Spotty Dog Computers at the beginning we would have saved hundreds of dollars and received the site we wanted in the first place only better.Thanks Iain for saving us and our website before it was too late.Needless to say we are now your biggest fan !

Iain at Spotty Dog Computer Services has just designed our website for Ali Cats Boutique Cat Boarding. We couldn’t be happier. Iain organised the web hosting and designed our website. We needed a website which we could edit and update regularly. Iain informed us on content requirements and how to update our site. He promptly replies to all our queries with accurate, concise, informative and illustrative instructions. We would highly recommend Iain at Spotty Dog Computer Services to anyone looking for reliable, local, supportive and affordable webhosting and website design.
