Geek Squad is well known who also can do what they do ?

I am looking for somebody to do what the Geek squad does at my place . Anybody know what the alternative is .

Depending on what exactly you want the Geek Squad to do (i.e. how complex it is), probably any young geek could do the same.

What specifically are you looking for?

How is that any different from taking the recommendation from someone you've never met or know personally?

There are a lot of helpful peeps out there on the Internets

How is that any different from taking the recommendation from someone you've never met or know personally?

Fact is many peeps do this all the time on various 'help forums'.
Such as those belonging to Windows, Mac, Linux, HP, Dell, Asus, Toshiba, Samsung, Sony, Acer, etc, etc, etc.....

I am just saying sorry maybe repeating myself but does the Geek squad have competitors ie a company that comes to your house and does the same service as a geek squad would do .

Yes, my company services in house, and my rates are much more reasonable than both the Geek Squad and Nerds on Site.
