- The best quality service from the technical team at Tecleo. I broke the SATA connection on a hard drive and could not acsses the data. Upon inspection I was informed that the drive would be ready for collection in a short time. About 10 minutes later I received a good working drive and and was back online in no time! Thank you Tecleo for the best support over the years I've been running my business, RAM ROOS CC. Your support made it possible!
- I sent my external hard drive to Tecleo after it accidentally dropped and stopped working. It had important files I needed access to, and I was really worried the data might be gone for good. Thankfully, Tecleo was able to recover everything. The results were perfect—nothing was lost. What really stood out to me was their speed, clear communication, professionalism, and technical expertise. They took the time to actually show me the internal components of my drive and explained what could have caused the issue. That kind of transparency really built trust and helped me understand the process. I would absolutely recommend Tecleo’s service because of all those reasons—they’re fast, reliable, and genuinely know what they’re doing. Thank you so much!
- I received the most incredible service from Tecleo. After my hard drive crashed, they were able to restore all data. When the new hard drive crashed a second time (!) they told me that everything was still under warranty so I didn't have to pay a cent (not even for delivery!) for the data to be recovered again, including a new hard drive. THANK YOU!
- I cannot recommend Tecleo enough, even though they were not able to retrieve my data from my SSD drive, they gave me the absolute best service. Tyrone, kept me up to date at all times and tried everything possible to retrieve my info. He was kind and understanding. I hope i am never in the situation of losing my info again but if it had to happen i wouldn't send my stuff anywhere else. Thank you Tyrone for your kindness through all my crying
