A shop the size of a handshake.
Woodstock is the kind of town where the person who fixes your computer also waves at you in the grocery line. That's the whole business model.
A bench in a back room
The Computer Guy starts as one workbench, a soldering iron, and a reputation for fixing the "unfixable" machines other shops turned away.
A storefront near the Square
Walk-in repairs, custom builds, and the first small-business clients — the shop becomes part of downtown Woodstock's daily rhythm.
Businesses come aboard
Offices and shops across McHenry County hand us their networks, backups, and late-night "the internet is down" calls. We take those personally.
Same handshake, better tools
Two decades on, it's still simple: honest diagnostics, fair prices, and technology that serves the people of Woodstock — not the other way around.
Three rules on the wall.
Fix what's fixable
We repair before we replace. If new hardware truly is the better deal, we'll show you the math.
English, not jargon
You'll always know what broke, what we did, and how to keep it from happening again.
Woodstock first
We sponsor the little league, shop the Square, and answer the phone ourselves. Local means local.
The folks at the bench.
