Luke gave us excellent service. He’s very responsive and quickly worked out the problem with our laptop and the solution. He explains everything clearly and effectively. Tech support without drama or confusion.

Just had Luke fix my computer after my kitty knocked it off the table. I sent him a message before 7am and he was at my house before lunch on the same day. Very prompt, very reasonably priced, and very helpful with other computer/internet advice. I would definitely recommend!

Luke helped me out with my small business website - super easy to deal with and he solved my problem quickly. No hassles whatsoever - so happy that I found a local IT nerd who I can rely on. I logged the call early on Saturday morning expecting not to hear back from him until Monday but he pretty much dealt with it on the spot. Thanks Luke 🙏🙏

Kim Hillard

I know this is what Luke does, but wow, the service!. Messaged him late Saturday evening, and honestly not expecting anything to be done before Tuesday, however, he was fixing my laptop Sunday morning (on the Australia Day weekend)! Cleaned up apps, explained as little or as much as I wanted to know and gave information on how to further improve speed and capacity without the expense (or suggestion) of buying of a new laptop. Very affordable too. Highly recommend.

I had a fabulous experience with Luke from Local Nerd remotely from the mid north coast...which I know, isn't so local! haha. I found his approach to be fast, efficient and thorough. If only an excellent customer experience and resolution of your IT probs will do, contact local nerd today!

Highly recommend Luke from the local nerd, I messaged him yesterday and he responded within 10 minutes, asked me a few questions about my Mac to determine whether it may have been a hardware issue, took it to him today and he worked on it, completed the job in 30 mins if that.
Was very thorough and explained exactly what he was doing. We will definitely use him in the future for any of our tech needs.
Also very reasonably priced. Big thumbs up from me

I have worked with Luke McCallum for many years and have always found him to be very professional and a wealth of knowledge. We have benefited most recently from his expertise in website design and structure, SEO optimization, CMS, website migration and troubleshooting.No matter how large or small our problem has been Luke has quickly diagnosed it and provided either recommendations or solutions to fix the issue.

Luke and his team provide a service equal to any member of our own team and as a result he is treated as one of us.It goes without saying that we highly recommend him and his team at Local Nerd.

Luke has been such a great help and support. Technology can be really complex and he has helped me sort many obstacles and get me and business back on track. He makes the information accessible to everyone. And he has also kindly provided Pro Bono support when we needed it, to the many NFP organisations that I collaborate with. Highly recommend Local Nerd as your go to techie.

Sydneysiders: this guy is as smart as he is genuine and lovely. A nerd with social skills. (Unicorn!) He's someone you could send over to your Grandma's house and she'd end up serving him tea and having a good chat. He puts people at ease and knows how to get the job done. Highly recommend.

Having utilised Luke McCallum's services for the last three, i can vouch for the fact that Luke provides high quality technical services. Not only does he have indepth technical knowledge, but he is also patient with "silly" questions and last minute requests.

I would highly recommend Local Nerd and Luke McCallum. ThanQ Luke for helping me with all the projects.
