We initially went to MicroCenter Tustin to purchase a PC for my son. We were going to get the parts…read morethere and have MC build it. After meeting with Mario and pricing out the parts and build for a new PC, it was clear the PC purchase would have been over budget. Mario recommended a prebuilt PC from them called PowerSpec. He showed us the G535 and it had everything we wanted in a gaming PC but for almost $500 off the retail price if we had PC built. I asked why was it cheaper and Mario told us the PC was built before the rise in prices on the memory and GPU. We then met with James Tran who showed us the G535. I noticed they had an open box PC. James explained to us the open box was a return for resale at a cheaper price. It was $100 cheaper. We bought the PC and took it home. Unfortunately all was not well with the PC. When playing two different games, (Marvel Rivals & Ark: Survival Ascended) the PC freezes for 10 seconds and reboots to the desktop. I tried troubleshooting by playing two different Benchmarks and lowering the GPU graphics, deleting and reinstalling updated drivers and lowering video resolutions but to no avail. Every time my son would play the games the PC froze and rebooted. This lead me to believe there are hardware issues with the PC. Luckily the PC was still within their 14 day return policy for returns, exchanges and refunds. We decided we did not want to have their techs try to diagnose the problem with the PC and just return and exchange for a new one. MC's return and exchange process was very simple. You go online to their website, log into your account and file a return. You are given a QR code and just then head to MC. When we arrived (the nearest MC is Tustin which is 2 hours away), we met with James Tran again who helped us with the process. I explained to James what the issues were with the PC. He told us the option of walking over to their Tech area of the store and having their guys try and diagnose the PC. I told James we would rather just exchange it for a new one. James understood our situation and spoke with his manager who allowed us to exchange the return for a new PC at the open box price so we did not have a to pay the difference. MicroCenter staff especially their managers (forgot their names) along with Mario and James Tran were awesome. They truly satisfied our experience at their Tustin store and made our teenager son very happy. So far everything is working properly with the replacement PC. I'll do a follow up if things change. Thank you again MicroCenter!

Out of those: - Five said the job was beneath them and refused to even give a bid. - One showed up with a bad attitude and never followed up. And then, Rodrigo from Tech Vet showed up. What a breath of fresh air! He took the time to really survey the project, asked thoughtful questions, and approached everything with a great sense of humor. He clearly knows his stuff and has the kind of work ethic you don't see often. Honestly, I hesitate to write this review because I don't want him to get too busy for us! Rodrigo figured out a clean and clever cable management system for our sit/stand desk columns--no small task considering the cables shift as desks move. Plus he tidied up the messy cable situation around our video wall, which had been bothering us for months. If you're looking for someone who takes pride in their work and treats your business like their own--Tech Vet is it!

I usually only use Yelp to read reviews for places like restaurants and whatnot, so this is…read moreactually my first review I think ever but honestly I'm surprised this guy doesn't have more reviews! My laptop fans were completely f-ed up with dust and stuff so I was trying to request a quote from all the local places, Rodrigo quoted me for less than 100$ unlike more than half of the other places in the area trying to ask for like 200-250$ base price for only a CLEANING by the way (legit had me actually considering if I had to do it myself at the risk of causing damage to my expensive components). Not only that, but I could immediately tell that Rodrigo is super passionate about this work as well. He answered all of my questions + even gave suggestions and recommendations for computer related stuff when requested. While my laptop was getting cleaned, he let me know about all the good food places within walking distance, so I didn't have to drive away or awkwardly sit around. Rodrigo also helped to take before and after pictures, since my friends were all curious to see the difference since my fans were really just that messed up at the time. By the time it was ready to be picked up, he had given my old keyboard and screen a very nice courtesy wipe-down and also helped to make sure everything was working well. My cat gave my laptop a long sniff-test after I got back home without making a disgusted face or running away, so I guess I can say this place is even cat-approved. This also might seem like a bare minimum thing but I never once felt patronized at all while talking to Rodrigo, which has happened when I was looking for help at even big-chain places like Best Buy in the past. Overall, 10/10 experience, enough to make me finally write a review on this platform after like 9 years of using it and moving around multiple cities. If I'm ever going to try and update my laptop or finally get a custom PC built, I know that I'm going to coming right back to Tech Vet for things.

THIS IS WHY WE HATE YOU BEST BUY!!!!…read more Update... and I'm getting Deja Vu looking at my previous reviews. I shop here only when I HAVE to. My work computer mouse stopped working - needed a replacement that I knew my company would reimburse me for. It said online they had 3 of a model I wanted. Can't call them 'cause they don't care enough about their customers to have a phone anymore. Do you think they had them? Nope!! I stood around while they looked for 15 minutes. This has happened to me here so many times. Asked the manager if he could give me the model up at the same price. I'm sure they'd still make a profit and that's what I would do as a retail manager. BIG struggle later, he said he'd only give me 6 bucks off. Why make the customer actually happy with good will? ...go to the front, he will tell them. Do you think he told them? No. Once the guy at the front finally radioed back to him, he was stumped how much to take off... 6 bucks! We'd both told him. Now I stood there as this guy couldn't do the 6 dollars off math in his head and got out his phone calculator to figure out how much to charge me. Are you kidding me? Fed up and enraged, I walked out in the middle of the sale. THIS IS WHY WE F' ING HATE YOU BEST BUY!!!!

YZ understood the importance of prioritizing data recovery over a screen turning on, and spoke with both confidence and professionalism as I dropped it off.
