I had used Northern Protocol computer repair for years since been in Barrie since 2012 and when my Dell compact desktop started acting up and could not load a webpage without DNS server connectivity error . So went to old Northern Protocol location on Bayfield st and found sign saying they were no longer in business but thankfully had refer to new place called Tech aid solutions and took piece of paper offered and found fairly easily in south end Barrie on Saunders road. Took it in Monday April 24th 2023 and found out techs here were from old northern protocol and owner of that company retired and living in Mexico now. Thankfully Chris the new owner of Techaid solutions was there and is awesome amazing man and tech. Anyways was lucky and got my compact Dell on bench immediately and they were not sure exactly what was causing this DNS server issue and so left it and within 24 hours these amazing techs found it and was bad or inappropriate driver for wifi installed during wins update!!! So they were able to remove that bad driver and reconfigure and DNS issue resolved and can surf to any page again and computer holds wifi connection now. Additionally these amazing techs noticed this computer very slow and sluggish and right away knew was the old hard drive in it and suggested putting in new little SSD hard drive which is solid state drive and what a difference in that now browser closes in like less than 5 seconds or less instead of thirty seconds and surfing faster and much better. Worth the extra $150 bucks. So had all this for $258 and just for wifi repair would have been only $100. So highly and mean highly recommend the new Tech aid solutions computer service and sales business in Barrie. Remember this is same amazing techs you may have had at Northern Protocol. So glad I found this new service and did not make mistake of going somewhere else. Robert w Martin Barrie Ontario

I have had excellent service from Tech Aid Solutions. Derek is always pleasant, knowledgeable and quick to pinpoint the problem. All the staff there are wonderful. I recently had a small problem with an update on my computer; even though they were very busy and gave me a timeline of several days, my desktop was ready for pickup in two days, completely ready to go. If you have problems with your technology, this is the place to go! Thanks!

I'm so impressed with the assistance I received from Liam. I picked up my computer which had several programmes updated, and he made sure I was comfortable with the new changes before leaving the shop. Highly recommend this personal and professional service.
