I went to other places that told me everything on my phone was completely gone. Five Star Data Recovery was able to recover ALL of my photos, and I honestly couldn't be more grateful! Vahan was especially helpful throughout the entire process. He took the time to explain everything clearly, kept me updated, and maintained constant communication so I always knew what was going on and what the next steps would be. It was clear that they really know what they're doing and have the knowledge and expertise to handle situations like this. I highly recommend Five Star Data Recovery.

Can I give them six stars?…read more After a wild boot loop saga began on my phone, I was worried a lot of my data I had amassed would be lost forever. I wasn't sure where to look, and out of the blue, I decided to do some googling and came across this country with, needless to say, a very appealing name! After looking into it, I saw a couple of fantastic things that were green flags immediately: 1. The reviews were glowing (and here's another one - and I never write anything). People seemed to love the company's mission, and I even read that the founder (more in a sec!) created the company just for that reason: he didn't feel people should pay an outrageous amount of money to get their data back. 2. Brian himself. What a guy. He was active on a bunch of forums, and you could tell he put together a small, dedicated team who really valued that people trusted them with their services. And Brian and his team saw me through a bunch of the chaos, answering a bunch of my questions, putting me at ease, and then - through the wonders of the US postal service - procured all of my data again. (I'm backing it up right now - and if you're reading this right now, back up your data too!!) So, yeah. This company is about as legit as it comes, and if you're looking for data recovery in any capacity, you've found the pinnacle in compassionate professionalism right here. Keep on keeping on, team! You're rocking it.

When they determined that my unusual firmware issue required additional specialized assistance, they went above and beyond by helping me find the right solution rather than simply giving up on my case.

I truly appreciate their honesty, communication, professionalism, and dedication throughout the process. Highly recommended!

We were looking for someone who could help us plan and set up our entire office network, including…read morethe cabling, equipment, network design, Wi-Fi, storage, and remote access. I had actually called a few people I found online, but none of them really seemed to understand exactly what we were trying to accomplish. My father finally said, "Call Hovik at Nettechy, he's an IT guy." I called Hovik and after talking for about 10 or 15 minutes, he told me he wanted to come see the office first so he could understand the layout and recommend the right equipment instead of just guessing. That ended up being exactly what we needed. Hovik planned the network, recommended the equipment for us to purchase, and then handled the installation and configuration once everything arrived. He set up the rack, switches, Wi-Fi, network segmentation, VPN access, storage, cabling, and everything else we needed. What I appreciated most was that he thought through the entire project before installing anything. Everything was organized, professional, and designed around how we actually use the office. We are very happy with the results and would definitely recommend Nettechy to anyone looking for someone knowledgeable and dependable to handle their business IT and network setup.

1 STAR -- Extremely misleading pricing and a complete waste of my time…read more I contacted this store about replacing the screen on my Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra. I specifically confirmed my phone model, and I was told in writing that the screen replacement started at $208.80 + tax. Based on that information, I decided to make an appointment with them. After making the appointment and showing up, I was suddenly told that the price I had been given was wrong and that the repair would actually cost around $330. How does a customer receive a specific price, schedule an appointment based on that price, and then arrive at the store only to be told that the price was incorrect? If the $208.80 price was wrong, it should have been corrected before I made an appointment and wasted my time. What makes this even more frustrating is that they advertise themselves as an authorized repair provider and emphasize their professionalism and quality of service. I expected the basic courtesy of being given accurate pricing before committing to an appointment. I have no problem paying a fair price for quality work, but I do have a problem with being quoted one price and then being told something completely different after I've already made the trip and scheduled an appointment. I strongly recommend confirming the price in person before making an appointment, because the price you are given initially may apparently not be the price you're actually charged. Very disappointing experience and a complete waste of my time.

The last PC I owned was powered by a 980ti running Windows 8…read more I've been thinking about building a new PC for years and decided to finally do it. I spent a couple weeks gathering all the components I've been eyeing and made the pilgrimage down to Micro Center (in Tustin) to take advantage of a great MOBO/Proc/RAM bundle. The last time I built a PC was in 2008 and at this point in my life, I just wanted an expert to help me get everything running and optimized. Gar was that expert. This guy knows his stuff and I couldn't be happier with my (first) experience at Helix. He runs the shop by himself and is clearly a lifelong PC enthusiast. It was really cool to see all his customers more 'aesthetic' builds that were in progress. I'm old so I wanted something with as little RGB as possible (haha). He even has a mini museum of PC components from decades past on display which really sent me down a VERY nerdy memory lane. He put together a 9800X3D / 5080 air cooled monster and everything runs perfectly. He optimized Win11 and walked me through everything he did when I picked up the machine. I would consider his shop a unicorn in 2026. Physical location. Passionate business owner who is offering top quality service in a niche industry. Fair prices.

I'm pretty technical, and the owner of a now-failed 1T, 4 drive RAID array. (2 of 4 drive heads…read morefailed simultaneously.) I tried the obvious things, and realized I was looking at a true hardware failure this time, not just software. Worse, 2 of the 4 drive heads failed, which, in a RAID5 array, often means that some or all of your files are kaput. After trying one other vendor and having it sit there for a day with no calls back, I picked the drive from that vendor and drove down to the drop-off office of Secure Data Recovery on Interurban. Note that this is just a drop-off office. I dropped off the drive at the Interurban Avenue office and it was FedEx'ed to the Secure Data Recovery Services Lab. The idea of a centralized lab, which many of these data recovery vendors seems to use, is a bit jarring at first. Basically, you show up at shared office suites (usually Regus, or something similar), you talk to a friendly but faceless account manager over the phone, you get the basic overview of the process, you get assigned a customer number, and you leave it there while they ship it off. In theory, the other vendor works this way as well, except the phone number had no person there, and no one called back after a day. This is the way it works with Secure Data Recovery Services too, except the phone number actually works and has a real human being there, who in my case was very knowledgeable, confident and reassuring. I got the customer number he assigned, gave a credit card for the deposit, handed off my drive, and waited a few days. I got the promised email with the diagnosis, detailing what was wrong with my drive -- in my case, two drive heads had failed simultaneously. They literally had to take apart the drive, reimage the underlying plates, re-splice the RAID (5) array together again, and they then sent me a list of all the files and file sizes that they were able to recover. In my case, it appears that all files -- or nearly all files may be returned to me. Am awaiting the recovered Terabyte drive (on a new drive) shipped back to me. It's pricey -- mine cost about $5,000 -- but it'll be well worth it if the data is indeed recovered, and I don't think it's unreasonable given the severity of the problem I encountered, which necessitated a full teardown and careful re-imaging of two drives. At press time, I was able to see the full and correct directory files, file sizes, and am awaiting the drive to be Fedex'ed back to me. These guys are knowledgeable, they give clear feedback throughout the process, they're reachable, and they inspire confidence that they actually know what they're doing. I'll revise this review if the data somehow comes back different than as they related in their top-line file report, but I've actually gotten a pretty good feeling that this will work out well, and can recommend them based on the process so far.
