    The hard drive in my 7 yr old desk top crashed. Brought it my local store, they were unable to do anything with it, even diagnose it other than to say it crashed. So they had to send the hard drive to a Service Center 1,000 miles away, charge me $35 to ship the hard drive because they could not do it locally. Then want to charge me $1,250 to recover the data. Way too expensive.

      Data recovery on a failing hard drive can be both complicated and expensive, and that's why we provide that service at a centralized location. That way we have the highest possible level of expertise, because we know how important your data is. Getting the work done right is our highest priority. Thanks very much for your feedback on the pricing. We always appreciate the perspective of our clients on things like this.

    Please remember we are not techy people. When you say 90% recovered, we think 90% of the files, not the space. That's a whole different message.

    The Geek Squad did and outstanding job recovering pictures from a SD Card that had been accidentally reformatted before saving the pictures to another device. They recovered ALL the pictures, I was very impressed by their service.

    The data recovery was pricey but competitive compared to other level 3 data recovery. You can't really put a price on personal data such as pictures, but the price is such a large leap once you get to level 3. I shopped around and there were facilities that could complete the job for a little less money but you can't beat the reliability of geek squad.

      Hi Serndpt –

      Irreplaceable is an excellent word for much of the data many of us have, and we’re glad to hear we were able to recover yours for you. Thanks for taking the time to share with us!

    Outstanding service! Work was explained in advance. I was kept posted throughout the entire process. All charges were explained in advanced. I needed data recovery on a back-up external hard drive that failed. The experience of potentially losing all my important data and media ws made easier by the Geek Squad Team. I would use them again.

    They did a great job of retrieving the files. Unfortunately, the staff didn't tell me until the end that the files would no longer have their file names assigned at creation.
