Yet again, Phil has come up trumps.

My PC had slowed to a crawl and was randomly turning itself off.

I took it to Phil and within a day I had my PC back running at full speed.

Phil always understands the problem, although for a non-technical person it can be difficult to explain, and will always come up with a fast solution.

I highly recommend Phil for any sort of computer problem.

Many thanks, again.

What an amazing service, I wish I had known of this company and Phil much sooner. I do not think everyone appreciates the level of experience and knowledge which is utilized by people such as Phil; patient with the techno slow learner (me!) polite and friendly. Delighted 78 year old.

Phil did a great job in resuscitating my computer! At the time I was panic stricken and at a loss where to go. Well, the treatment I received was first class. In future I will always go back to Phil. A great bloke with lots of patience in understanding my dilemma. Henceforth I will never go anywhere else. If you're looking for professional help Phil is the man.

Highly recommended. Excellent service. I was concerned my laptop was beyond repair or it was going to be a costly repair. Phil looked at my laptop while I was there and solved the problem in front of me. Nothing hidden, honest . I'll definitely choose Software solution again. Thanks .

I had a blue screen error on my desk top pc. Other repair shops told me the pc wasn't worth repairing because of it's age. Phil fixed it. Reasonable price. Highly recommended.

Took my desktop PC in for a service and clean, Phil was super approachable and professional. He hooked up a new SSD for me and re-did all the cabling into a much tidier fashion that I had done! GPU is now running 10-15 degrees cooler since. Stellar job, would definitely recommend!

Phil has been repairing my laptop and computer over the last few years, he is honest and reliable and does not overcharge for anything. In the last few weeks he has built me a new computer from scratch to suit my increasing demands and only charges less than half what you might find for sale elsewhere. He has also rebuilt my wife's laptop which was running slow and took ages to load documents and spreadsheets. It now works fast and again was inexpensive.. Give Phil a visit, you won't be disappointed

I have been using Phil for more years than I care to remember, he really is a font of all knowledge & such a pleasant man to do business with, honest & super professional. My previous visits have been regarding laptops & desktops mainly but today I took my new i-phone down to him as I was unable to understand how some of the functions worked & as always he was his usual knowledgeable self & patient as he took the time to explain things to me & my wife. Needless to say that Phil will continue to be my first port of call as has been the case previously. I believe that his wife has now opened the adjacent shop, The Dog Groomers, so I wish her well in her new business.

I called in shop by chance, described my problem printing emails with Outlook on PC. Although busy, Phil advised on possible causes and suggested a solution for me to try. It worked.

Phil fixed my PC tower a few months ago for my home office.
However, I needed a laptop for more flexibility to run my business.
Software Solutions sold me a refurbished Dell Inspiron 1545 with new hard drive and windows 10.
Works great and fast.
Why pay £1000 when you can pick up a refurbished one with 12 months guarantee for £200, and help to save the planet.
If you need value for money computer call software solutions first

Phil has resolved my laptop issues on three separate occasions, each time providing a rapid and inexpensive solution. I would absolutely recommend him to anyone with a tech problem who doesn't wish to be stung!

I’d spent hours fiddling with my laptop and trying to figure out why a new drive I’d installed wouldn’t work. Took it to software solutions and he fixed it in minutes. I won’t try to fix anything anymore, I now have a ‘go to’ for anything computer related. Really nice bloke, knows his trade and is extremely reasonably priced, it’s a no-brainer!

My Google laptop had a total meltdown, took it to Software solutions who wiped it and re-booted in seconds and would not accept payment for such a quick fix. Top class service once again . !st visit he installed windows 10 to my old Toshiba laptop great job done very quickly.

If you have computer issues this is the guy to see, I ripped my cpu out of it's socket when removing my cooler and he had removed it from the heatsync and installed back in the case in a matter of minutes. Top service with the best prices I seriously couldn't recommend enough.

I got in touch with Software solutions late February about a noisy PlayStation 4. Phil was very helpful & collected the PlayStation 1st March and told me it would be a couple of days. The day after, I got a message to say it was ready & he would drop it off on the way home. Super quick service, brilliant response and very helpful.

Thanks so much Phil, will definitely be using again for any technical needs.

Graeme Rigby
27th Feb '21

Software solutions offer a great collect and deliver service.
My computer tower was not powering up, but speaking with Phil on the phone he reassured that it just needed a new power pack, and at the same time he would service the tower, which over time was full of dust.
At the same time supplied a new Gigabyte and 2GB GT 710 graphics card

I used the collect and drop of service which was fantastic, Phil collected the unit at 5pm and 24 hrs later Phil dropped the it off at home.

The computer is now fully up and running like a new one.

I found Phil so helpful, knowledge and trustworthy.

If I need any repairs in the future I would definitely use Software solutions, such a superb service.

5 star service

Fantastic service! After spending hours messing about trying to repair frozen Toshiba laptop, took it to Software Solutions. Phil rang me 45 minutes later to say he had fixed it! Very very impressed with service, and very very reasonably priced. If your computer ever breaks, put into a bag and take it to Software Solutions.

Returning from a visit to my daughter i switched my laptop to find a damaged screen. Needless to say I was devastated. I had considered buying a screen and get someone to fit it.
I spoke to someone who advised calling a local computer shop.
I spoke to Phil and he not only gave me a price he also told me about the collect and return option. He also said he would pickup the following morning. True to his word he collected it and 6 hours later it was returned in perfect working order and even cheaper than the quote.
A very professional man but polite and so very helpful.
I cannot recommend this business enough. Thank you Phil and software solutions for such a great job.

Correction to my testimonial of 5th September, 2020....................it should of course have read "Phil's shop on Park Road" NOT "Gidlow Lane"..............apologies Phil.....

John Parkes

I called into Phil's shop on Gidlow Lane yesterday morning, I have been using him for many years now & can't recommend him enough, on this occasion I was having problems with the Wi-fi connection to my printer. Phil isn't currently doing any home visits due to Covid, however, he still took the time to explain verbally what he saw as the possible problem & also gave me written instructions of how to go about rectifying it myself. This was extremely useful & I'm pleased to say that everything is working fine again now.

Brilliant in all senses of the word.

My Lenovo Laptop recently went into Blue Screen mode with a Critical Message displayed. I tried to get back into it in Safe Mode but that never went. I was completely stuck and not wanting to lose any files or old Photo's I hunted the reviews to get the thing sorted or at best my photo's back. I found Phil at Software Solutions (Wigan) and the Genius came and collected it with the promise he would do his best. He did better than that. Photos / Files back on a stick and the Laptop back as good as new with latest Windows 10 loaded, Phil's licensed for this. All this done overnight at a great price. So if you want it repaired then speak to Phil who has years in the game and will definitely not rip you off. Mr D G.

The service and after service at Software Solutions on Park Road is second to none and my comments lie over a 2 year period.
Phil is always in the same helpful informative mood and never pushes for sales.

I took my granddaughter’s laptop to Phil today. It had been malfunctioning and had some unwanted “infections “.
Although he was very busy he took time to sort it out whilst explaining what what was wrong.
His pricing is very reasonable and his service is impeccable.
I recommend Phil, without reservation, for all computer requirements.
Thanks Phil.

I bought a lap top from Phil some time ago and found him to be really very helpful. he did not try to oversell me something I did not need but matched his sale to my needs. When I have needed some advice he has unfailingly provided it (free!). I recently had trouble with my old desk top and he repaired it in quick time and at a very reasonable price. I would not hesitate to recommend Phil and Software Solutions to all my friends. They really are first class

Following a catastrophic computer failure, we were advised to consult Phil at Software Solutions. Phil is clearly a very knowledgeable and tremendously enthusiastic man and was determined to find a solution., which he did and at a good and reasonable price. All of the documents we thought were lost were recovered and the performance of our computer was upgraded. We would have no hesitation in consulting Phil again if we experience any problems in future. So what do you get? A huge depth of knowledge and enthusiasm and a determination to provide the customer with a solution at the lowest possible cost and at the best price. We are more than happy to recommend Phil’s services wholeheartedly.

Thanks Phil for fixing my computer at short notice last week. Really impressed and pleased with what you've done. Only wish I'd known of your good reputation about two years ago, when I had a problem and ended up at a different shop, which was ok, but not excellent. I will have no hesitation in recommending you to anyone in need of pc/computer/laptop help and to contact you again should I have a problem, in future.

Jonathan
19th May '19

I have brought several items to Phil to get advice for or be fixed, on every occasion Phil has done his very best to fix it on the spot. If anything requires parts that he does not have in stock, and a collection date and the time is given I have always been contacted before then and told to collect it. Phil is a genuine decent person and there is one thing I can guarantee, and that is you will not be over charged for the work done. I would highly recommend Phil to fix or give advice on any piece of equipment or software.

What can I say other than I am so impressed with the overall service experience given by this business and in particular Phil. Passed the shop many times and then needed a new keyboard for my laptop. Called in with it, was given a very competitive quote and without any deposit asked was handed a plug in keyboard to use while my new keyboard was ordered. Two days later phone call to say it had arrived. Phil fitted it while I waited - job done. Brilliant, thank you so much, I recommend you 100% to everyone with a computer problem.

Bought replacement parts for my son's laptop and took them to Phil at Sotware Solutions. He had to strip the whole Laptop down to fit a new base, Dc Adapter and palmrest with the mouse built in. I dropped it off just after midday and he rang me back at 2pm stating it was all sorted and he had serviced it, cleaned fan and sorted out a sound issue. He did not charge much in my opinion for this level of service. I would highly recommend Software Solutions to anyone and will be using them in future for any pc/laptop issues. Thankyou Phil you are a top bloke and know your stuff

My old Dell PC eventually reached the end of its life. I needed a new PC but not one that came with loads of unneeded stuff or restrictions on size which come when you buy direct from a supplier.

I went to Software Solutions and Phil built me a desktop PC to my spec at a really good price.

I had a couple of issues with Windows 10 (having previously been a Windows XP user) and Phil sorted these easily.

He also sorted out a problem last week when Windows 10 wouldn’t load properly. All this at no cost at all.

I would recommend Software Solutions to anybody needing personal assistance from a PC expert.

Many Thanks, Phil

I'd written my laptop off and called in to buy a replacement but Phil said he'd look at the laptop. Dropped it off after 5pm on a Friday and it was all sorted with a new hard-drive early afternoon the day after so he's saved me a good few £££. Phil had added various useful programs (including security and word processing package) without being prompted and it's now like having a brand new machine as I upgraded from WIndows 7 to Windows 10. Very happy with the service and price and would definitely recommend and use again.

Sue Coventry

Brilliant service from Phil and for a very good price. My laptop crashed, the dreaded "blue screen" of death appeared. Phil said no problem and 24 hrs later with a new hard drive, Windows 10 updated and computer serviced, it was ready. What a difference, faster, and once I had got used to the new Windows, much easier to use. It was so good that I dragged my old Dell desktop computer out and took it in. Result exactly the same brilliant service, great price and this time an even faster computer. Very highly recommended for his excellent service, his enthusiasm and especially his prices.

Once again Phil has sorted out my computer. Able to park right outside the shop. He is quick, and knows what to do to get everything working correctly.
His prices are so reasonable and you can watch what he is doing to your computer.
Hope I don't need him again but he is the best one I know.
I have told him I hope he is still around for many more years.

Within our family we have used Phil several times with excellent results. He fixed my son's laptop that had stumped everybody else I took it to (and for a very reasonable price). My husband has just taken his Ipad to him and fixed immediately. I wouldn't take our computer equipment to anyone else.

Lovely friendly helpful man

Got my iPad started for me again yesterday and gave me lots of sensible advice for what to do if it happened again.

Would definitely use again and recommend his work

I have been using Phil's services for several years now & whether the problem has been major or minor I have always found him to be extremely knowlegable, helpful, courteous & honest. His prices are very competitive, I have recommended him to others many times & will continue to do so.

He has done all types of work for me, computer, tablets, printer problems etc, and I have always been completely satisfied with his workmanship and prices. I would not go anywhere else, I wholeheartly recommend him, you will not be disappointed.

I bought a cheap laptop from Phil last year and unfortunately this week it died while using it. I took it back into phil and he declared it goosed. He supplied me at cost price another laptop to replace mine and has since spent 7 hours retrieving my data and photo's from my dead laptop. His expertise is fantastic and his help and customer service are second to none. I would recommend "Software Solutions Wigan" to anyone.

I cannot thank Phil enough for repairing my laptop. Id previously taken the laptop to PC World for repair. What shocking service there... away 10 days then returned, supposedly repaired, but was exactly the same as when I took it in. Decided to ditch any repair with them and took my laptop to Phil. Phil had it sorted within a few hours and the fault turned out to completely different to that supposedly repaired and paid for at PC World. I cannot thank Phil enough. Laptop working and all data still there. Big sigh of relief! First class service all round. Without doubt I would recommend Phil....excellent guy and knows his stuff.... thank you one again!

Laptop repair 5 star
Forgot to add, I rate Phil's service very highly. He could have said I needed a new screen or even a complete replacement but didn't.I wouldn't have known any different. Nice to find a genuinely honest person who has pride in their service these days. I won't hesitate to return to this shop if I need any further repairs or when I need a replacement for my laptop.

Laptop repair
I recently took a laptop into the shop for Phil to have a look at. The screen picture was breaking up and the machine was running very slow. Phil immediately suggested possible problems from a faulty comms ribbon or worse case scenario the screen maybe u/s. He said I'd have to leave it with him overnight and he'd be back to me when he had stripped it down and found the problems. He rang me a hour later to say it was the ribbon and not the screen and he would order the part in and in the meantime he would speed the laptop processor up. End result, laptop back up to speed, charged a minimal amount for the parts and had my machine serviced why it was in. Excellent service, would highly recommend Phil's services .

Phil was extremely helpful. I thought I needed a new computer and he could of quite easily sold me one. He told me he could make its performance better and plugged it into his system. Within a while it was much better. He did not charge me for this service.

What an honest, trustworthy family run business. I would recomennd this company to anyone 100%!

Thanks Phil

First Class Service.
Phil has helped me out on at least three occasions, last time curing my Windows 10 - printer problem in minutes (saving me hours of swearing at the screen and tearing my hair out). He's a honest guy who looks after computer illiterate people like me without poking fun! His prices are very reasonable and the service is prompt. Would recommend the shop to anyone.

I had the dreaded Blue Screen of Death on my aged PC and popped in to Software Solutions more in hope than expectation. Phil immediately identified several possible causes and was really keen to help. The following day he spent several hours working on the problem and managed to fix a faulty hard drive. He contacted me promptly and would only take a nominal payment for restoring a computer I had all but given up on.

Phil's expertise and enthusiasm are really impressive and I would not hesitate to contact him again should I have any computing problems,
and will recommend his excellent service to friends.

The shop is small and Phil is not very tall.
But the service cannot be bettered.
He has recently fixed a problem with my printer, and cleaned the PC and checked it so it is now working faster. Much cheaper than other quotes.
He has also this week, repaired a remote control for one of our TVs. Would not take payment as he could not check if the remote would work with the TV.
So will make a donation next time we are passing the shop.
Will definitely use again

I am so impressed with this local company. The knowledge and expertise that Phil has is exceptional. The service is second to none and I am already recommending Software Solutions to family, friends and colleagues. As new start up business he really helped me to get set up, with the quality, appropriate IT equipment and software packages. Phil tailored these to my needs at an unbelievable low price. In addition he performed magic getting my old but well loved laptop working again, which was both time consuming and difficult. In addition his after sales support and complimentary additional extras are excellent. I really have confidence in his abilities and products. The stock that he has will suit any budget and level of requirement, his shop is well worth a visit or give him a call if you need advice you wont be disappointed.

I've had to visit Phil at Software Solutions 4 times with a couple of our laptops, and every time he has been very helpful, done a fantastic job, and I know that he will do the work as quickly as he can. I trust what Phil tells me, and he offers excellent value for money for a quality service.

What Phil doesn't know about computers probably isn't worth knowing. If you need a system - he can sort it. If you need specifics - he can sort it. If you have a problem - he can sort it.

I first bought a refurbished laptop from him two years ago for £250. To be honest I expected it to last 4-5 months. 2 years on it is still going strong. Why spend £700-800 when you can have a specific system for a 1/3rd of the price.

Phil. Genuinely nice person and always glad to help.

Wanted too put a rating up myself as the owner and worker of my company honestly lots of hard work has been put into this and it all takes time too become established.
We always try too make sure our customers get good value for money for our products we supply and we always make sure the after sales and aftercare is still provided too each and everyone of our customers.We also have helped and give free advice when needed
We have a long way too go but each day as it comes and fingers crossed we can open up another shop in the near future.
