Brought my laptop to Greg because it's getting to slow. The main problem was my hard drive. He replaced it and now works perfectly. My laptop is faster now. Thank again and will recommend you to my friends for any computer repair. read more

Greg really is the man. I had a major PC issue and he was able to diagnose my problem very quickly, was communicative, and a pleasure to work with. Would highly recommend him for transparency and customer service. read more

I have been coming here for over ten years. Greg puts up with me building my own setup, fixes my errors, never makes fun and is a pleasure to talk to and not just about 'puters. Might even get him to go fishing some time. Thanks Greg for being you. read more

Greg did a great job at diagnosing and fixing the issue. Communication is excellent and my laptop works great!

All the great reviews here about 5 Star Computer Service are true. Greg is a problem-solver who loves his work. He diagnosed, repaired, and refurbished my very very slow 5-year-old laptop at a very very reasonable price that saved me hundreds of dollars that I would have spent on buying a new laptop. read more

Greg did an excellent job repairing my computer. He was professional, knowledgeable, and easy to communicate with throughout the process. The repair was done quickly and at a very fair price. I'm extremely satisfied with the service, and I would highly recommend Greg to anyone looking for reliable and quality computer repair. read more

Bless this man and his computer repair skills! Greg was professional, easy to get ahold of and was able to fix my computer quickly. Would highly recommend! Such a gem! read more

I've been counting in Greg to solve PC issues for six years now. He's a real pro. Solves issues quickly, does the work absolutely correctly, and fixes things that I wasn't even aware of. Please don't tell him he's also the best value in town when it comes to PC repair. Can't reccomend more highly. read more

Excellent, friendly, and knowledgeable service from Greg! Highly recommended! I'll be back if I ever have any computer issues.

Prompt messaging. Was available sameday. Went beyond what i expected. Thank you. Would definitely come back. read more

This is the second time that Greg comes to my rescue with computer repair. I can't say enough nice things about his professionalism and prompt response. This is the only person I will trust with my computer. I highly recommend if you are looking for someone who is very professional and knowledgeable. I can't say enough nice things. read more

Greg was knowledgeable, courteous, efficient, and cost-effective. There's a reason he has a 4.9/5 rating. I know this sounds hyperbolic, but I've never experienced a computer repair service as satisfying as this one. It only cost me around $200 to have my crashed computer up and running again within the amount of days it took for the parts to arrive, and before I contacted him I was on the verge of spending 5 times that amount on a new laptop. Do yourself a favor and get your tech repaired by Greg! read more

Greg is not only incredible at his job and very fair with pricing, but an extremely kind and flexible person in terms of timing and very patient in explaining everything he'll be working on. He was able to see us within a few days when our computer had viruses and clean everything off and install a new hard drive. Highly recommend going to Greg! read more

Besides being incredibly talented and proficient at repairing computers, Greg is insufferably likable and so easy to do business with. I've hired many professionals for over twenty-five years, and Greg eclipses them all by an entire solar system. He's that good. The best part...wait for it...he's honest, and affordable, and puts his heart into every client's unique circumstance to make sure they have the best possible outcome. I've known him for three years now and I have no intention of using anybody else. He recently replaced a hard drive on my 80-year-old mother's PC and had it ready to get back to her in record time. You'd be hard-pressed trying to find anybody that comes close to providing the kind of computer repair experience you get with Greg and 5 Star Computer Service. THE BEST! read more

Greg provides amazing service. Very communicative. Went above and beyond with the fix to my laptop that had failed to load Windows after a recent update. Fast and affordable. Will recommend to all my friends. read more

If I could give 50 stars, I would. I brought my older Lenovo desktop to Greg to upgrade the memory and add an SSD to improve speed. He had the computer back to me in 24 hours and didn't charge anything extra above the prior estimate for all of the extra work that he had done. His price was more than fair. Greg was also very patient and answered my computer-challenged questions with grace. He even carried my computer to the car. He is a true pro and exceptionally honest - a rare find and treasure. read more

I found Greg many years ago while looking for a company with a 5-star review. I would give him a 5-start plus (+) if I could. My last visit would be my third and he's the same great guy all around over the years. Most amazing is that if he gives you a quote, no matter how much time he spends on your computer, he sticks to that quote. He would not accept a penny more. Don't waste time looking for another IT guy, go see Greg. Thank you Greg, for a job well done...again! read more

Recently lost the power button on my laptop. Disappointed to learn my Best Buy TotalTech couldn't fix it. I started looking on Yelp for places to call. It was evening and 5 Star was the only company open. I was so lucky! Made an appt. with Greg for the next day. He is just so very nice. He determined what parts I needed, got the parts, and repaired my computer very quickly. He explained everything very clearly. Although I had to pay for the part, his fee for the labor was amazingly low. He absolutely lived up to his other reviews. Knowledgeable, efficient, reasonable cost, and a very pleasant personality. I absolutely recommend him. Wouldn't take my computer to anyone else. read more

Quick, efficient and super helpful! If you need someone who wants to help you relsove your issues most definitely contact Greg!! Although my issue was not extensive I am confident he could easily assist if necessary. read more

When it comes to PC repair, Greg is the man! He really knows his stuff! I needed all data moved from a really old laptop to a new laptop. Results were amazing. he went beyond what he said he was going to do with no extra charge. Has a clean and neat shop. Dropped off and picked up completed work on the sane day! fast reliable service. Home based business helps keep costs very reasonable! Also, he has good communication skills. I would definitely recommend to anyone in the area. Oh yeah, he does NOT work on Apple computers. read more

Four years later and still going to 5 Star! Greg is always fantastic and somehow manages to squeeze me in when I'm in panic mode and need my computer fixed in the middle if a big project. Sincerely: you're not going to find a better and more affordable and personal PC repair place! Thanks as always, Greg! read more

Heavy breathing, fear, anger, fist pounding, panic, dark storm clouds... no, I'm not describing a zombie-attack on modern day Los Angeles but instead my reaction when my much-depended on computer crashed in the middle of an innocent internet foray. After freezing and no response when I tried to turn it on; an anxiety attack ensued and I reached for my Yelp phone app in .01 seconds to research a nearby computer shop. That is how 5 Star Computer Service came into my life. I am sure happy it did. After reading all 5-star reviews (a few 4'ers) I decided to call 5 Star Computer. I understood that this was a computer-repair shop out of someone's home but the ratings spoke volumes. I spoke to Greg, the owner and proprietor; who was kind, professional, and patient. I explained my situation and he was quick to respond that I could bring it in immediately and assured me to think positive thoughts. Greg's experience shines through as he has been working on computers for 19 years, has engineering training, and owned a computer shop for 8 years before relocating to his home-front. Greg suggested I photograph my wires before I leave in order to know how to re-set my computer at a later time. Off I went lugging my desk-top computer tower (I know, I know... I am "old-school"). I arrived to a beautiful, marvelously landscaped home. Greg came outside to help carry the computer and led me to his Zen-garden-hot tub backyard where he has a compressor to clean all the dust (and in my case: cat hair) out of computers. This isn't some scraggly air can you buy at Best Buy; I'm talking a full-on work-shop style compressor. To say the least, my computer hasn't been this clean since I got it. He then led me into his shop which is meticulously OCD. Everything is organized, labeled, and clean. If nothing else, this first impression helped calm me a bit. Greg offered me a chair and allowed me to sit and tag along for the process. Granted, we didn't know what was wrong yet and it could take days but he wanted me to relax. Greg took apart my computer and began to try to isolate the problem. Luckily in my case, he found it quickly and it wasn't too 'bad' (my upgrade v-card has decided to end its life so I had to revert back to the on-board one or purchase a new one for about $60). Greg proceeded to repair the part and allow the computer to do its diagnostics repairs. In the mean time, he also checked and cleaned a couple other issues I complained of and searched for refurbished parts in his shop to offer me. Plus, he thoroughly answered all my questions regarding my computer, computer and external hard drive brands, plus whatever else I threw at him. Overall, the experience took about 2 hours but Greg truly helped calm my nerves and I didn't feel swindled or taken advantage of. His pro demeanor and genuine good-nature shines through. He also affirmed that I can maintain contact with him in case I had any issues afterwords. What did my repair cost my wallet? Drum roll please: $40! That's it! To be honest, I hugged the man (I'm unemployed: even a $1 means a lot to me!). I was beyond thrilled. For the record: 5 Star Computer accepts cash, credit, or debit. How has my computer faired? Well, I'm typing this review on it for one. I did have some initial problems turning it on but it has been fine since (I will continue to keep an eye on it). It has been super quiet to the point of not even being able to tell it is on (my fan used to ALWAYS be going on full-speed). So far, all is well. Please note that Greg has another day-job so his hours are in the evening time of 4-8pm. Greg is not only a terrific "computer guy" but also a great person. I have found my go-to for computer repairs and would recommend him to anyone who owns computer. Which is everyone! So, my panic attack has subsided (and hopefully won't return) and my computer is happy. Crisis over. read more

Greg is a great guy, very honest and tells you like it is. We had a laptop that had some water damage, he took a look at it, checked it and it ended up being just the keyboard. Said we could buy one and have it installed or we could do it ourselves. No scam, no nothing. If only more people were like Greg in the world, I would highly recommend him. read more

Greg rocks! Great communication, fast and friendly service . I hope I don't have to see him often, but when I do I know my computer in good hands! read more

Greg is amazing. I've been taking my computers to him for over 10 years now and will not use anyone else. He's provides excellent service and is so friendly. He doesn't talk down to you and explains everything in detail. Thank you so much for fixing my ancient computer. You are the best!! read more

Thank you, Graig! Grateful for your service, professionalism and extra attention to detail setting up my new laptop.

Thank goodness for people like Greg. I read all these great reviews and gave him a chance, and I wholeheartedly agree with them! My computer, from Costco, came with a solid state C: drive that was way too small. Greg diagnosed it, had the part number I needed for a larger SSD drive, and fixed it for a reasonable price. He also cleaned out the inside of the computer (it was very dusty) and re-connected the CD drive that I honestly had forgotten about! He had it ready when he said he would and he explained everything to me and showed me the old and new drives. Now it's like I have a new computer for a fraction of the price! Helpful, friendly, considerate, good communicator, smart, and really cares about the quality of his work. Greg is my new computer guy! read more

First of all, I must say that Greg is a honest, decent human being. Perhaps it's strange to start off a review stating this, but, I am so tired of people in service positions that are miserable, and could care less about their jobs or what the customer needs. I needed a cracked screen replaced. I called up, arranged to go see him, he checked to make sure we had the exact part # and 4 days later, I went back and he installed it in 15 minutes. The business is in his home, but, that shouldn't concern you, especially when you see his well stocked computer 'batcave.' I highly recommend you call him to take care of your computer needs, you will be in good hands - oh, and his prices are very, VERY reasonable! Thanks, Greg. read more

We ended up not doing the service, but my online conversation and other reviews certainly indicated they deserved their name. I feel I'd use them in the future for other work. Thanks!!! read more

My pc was fixed in not time. Thanks to Greg for his expertise of diagnosing and notifying me with the problem asap with great price (parts and labor) to boot. I have dealt with few computer repair shops and getting calls from them on how much the cost would be after the initial diagnosis usually give me the chills; hoping for a low estimate. With Greg, his accommodation and customer service was second to none. As he announced the estimate, I was in surprised that the estimate was lower than I expected compared to other repair shops. So two thumbs up for this guys and business. Highly recommended!!! read more

Greg was kind enough to let me bring in my laptop late on a Saturday afternoon. Within a few minutes, he had the problem resolved. He also gave me some good advice about things I might do to improve its performance. His prices are very reasonable. read more

Greg is very professional and knows computers inside and out. I needed some hardware fixed on my laptop and he was very communicative about the cost, timeline and exactly what he needed to do to fix it. He even finished the project early. I would trust him with any computer service needs! read more

The hinge on my laptop broke and needed to be fixed quickly. I met with Greg on Tuesday afternoon, and on Wednesday afternoon the computer was fixed. He charged a fair price and did good work. On top of that, he's a nice guy. What more could you ask for? I highly recommend 5 Star. read more

This time my son's PC was slowing and freezing after our place had a power outage. Greg responded quickly to my message, dropped it at his place that day, and got it back two days later, re-conditioned and working great. My preferred PC repair shop. Thank you. - Harry read more
