I updated my win 10 desktop pc to win 11. What a BAD experience! My PC is only 2 years old; it ran perfectly, but why not update Neil, is the owner of, "Coastside Computer Repair." He is a valuable treasure! His honesty, computer knowledge, ethics & kindness are a rare find. I had installed Win 11 on my Win 10 Alienware desktop. After a few days, it started blacking out, then it wouldn't start up at all... There was no start up window. Using the F12 key did nothing... I tried a loaded recovery stick, with no results. I've updated Win versions before, but this time, my PC couldn't respond... So, I knew that was it for me. And I called a friend who had a PC Repair shop for years & he couldn't help me... I looked at Yelp, called one 5-star PC Repair shop that was nearby but, he never returned my 3 calls. Then, I saw Coastside Computer Repairs and he has 5 stars & he's not too far from me. I called him & he was so responsive to me. I became his priority, to help me right away! And he did! My PC is better than before! Most computer repair companies charge residential customers up to $230 for on-site Operating System installation. With Neil, you'll pay only $75 - $105 for the same service. His Service Rates are very affordable, the general Hourly Rate is $40/Hr. with a 3 Hour Minimum, not including parts, if required. A House call fee is charged, if there is a need to travel to you. It depends on your location. He is so focused on giving his customers their money's worth! He really utilizes his 4-year degree in IT PC Training. He worked like, "a bat out of Hell," as my mom used to say " I always thought that everything happens for a good reason. I have an excellent result, from a horrible experience! Call Neil, I'm not the only one who is impressed with him. And, just to make it easy for you, here is his phone number: 415-368-8544 read more

I had an older iMac computer that had stopped working. I called Neil at Coastside Computer Repair. I explained my problem to him, and he said he would look at it. I brought over the computer to him and advised him that I was not in a hurry. A few hours later, Neil called me and explained what was happening with my desktop. Unfortunately, my computer was older than I thought, and Neil advised me that it would cost more to repair than it was worth. I informed him that I was more concerned about my hard drive and everything stored. Neil was able to save my hard drive and brought it over to my house, and showed me how to download all my files and pictures. Everything has been backed up, and I didn't lose one file. I plan on using Coastside and Neil again for any other issues that I have in the future. His prices were very reasonable, and he is a charming person to talk to. He was able to answer all my questions with straightforward answers because I'm not a computer person. read more

Bay Area Computer Repairs has always been my go to for all things technical. I've had the pleasure of associating with this company for many years, and always been satisfied with the stellar work that was performed. It's inconceivable that many businesses, and individuals, prefer larger companies to smaller ones, and wonder why the poor customer service quality. In frank, larger companies have more clients to satisfy, limiting the individual care that should've been afforded. With Bay Area Repairs, the client base is smaller, deploying more quality and the attention to the client's want and need. Thus, satisfying every aspect of the individual's experience. In short, and from my own customer based experience and knowledge, go for this company, you won't be disappointed. Ask for Neil, he's the guy that knows his stuff! I am so Grateful For Neil and his gift.. It is difficult to trust someone with your computer and its access. My computer was full of malware, virus and more.. on Mac cant believe Mac gets virus also He has it running fast and even better and more secure..:):) Neil has confidence, great communication skills and the computer skills to back it up. Giving me tips on how to use my computer is truly appreciated. I highly recommend his services. His fee is very reasonable..Be sure to make an appointment first . A+++++++++ read more

Neil is amazing! First off, I called him at 11 am on a Sunday and he called me back with in half an hour. YES on Sunday when he was closed. Wow! Neil is a genius. He had my computer for just one day and it was like getting a new computer. Changed my computer from Windows vista to 7 did not have to buy a new one. Saved me lots of money and trouble. Found him super honest, fair, reliable, and fast! Could not be any happier with all he did for me in a short time. I will happily recommend Neil with the excellent work he does to make anyone happy. If I ever have a non-DIY issue, he will be my first call. read more

Need my dell repaired did not not where to look so I decided to go and look on Google and Yelp and found this amazing place with google ratings. The Dell had a cable problem and the screen was flicking so Neil with bay area computer repair was able to repair it in a day A++++ thanks read more

Neil is AMAZING! I've had a MacBook since 2011, it started acting up and shutting off on its own and then eventually wouldn't work at all. Neil got it to turn on instantly, eventually He decided to run a diagnostic anyway because start up time was pretty bad and it's been giving me issues in general anyway. Turned out it was the hard drive. Diagnosis was reasonable and included if i fix it with them. but the repairs and labor ran me about $185 plus cost of drive which is generally i would be spending more at apple store. Neil was super-fast He completed the work in 3 hours which was phenomenal because I expected at least a week. I'm happy! seriously Neil cares and does good job in fixing your computer and advise is free after fixing. Also forgot to tell you Apple does not backup your data Neil does for few extra bucks. read more

Neil has been very helpful over the years and always when I needed him the most. I own a recording studio here in South San Francisco and my computers are extremely important to me. When it breaks down, I'm totally stuck. There is only one person I can count on in the bay area. This just happened 2 days ago: my Mac pro crashed in the middle of the session with the band from New York waiting around. Neil drove to my business, fixed it like in an hour (without having to reload my files and programs) and we were ready to rock. Turned out to be the connection between the hard drive and the mother board. He made the extra trip to buy me the part, came back to the studio, cleaned the computer up and advised me to buy the time capsule and time machine to back up the whole computer in case of a static surge. My advice is to spend a little more money and get Neil on your side- it's really saved me so much in the long run. He came though big this last time so I felt I needed to give him props for a job well done- I was up and running the same day, and ready for the new year 2019! Highly recommended Neil if you want the best service at the most reasonable price. thanks dude!! read more

Neil has been super helpful and reliable fixing my computer before school starts. I got a really expensive MacBook Pro when I started college 3 years ago and to get it fixed by apple I might as well have bought a new laptop. But Neil got it done in 3 days for a much more reasonable price for a college kid on a budget. I would recommend this guy to my grandpa he is a reliable and trustworthy individual who's great at fixing computers. When I first called Neil he was very kind on the phone and was quick to assure me not to worry about needing a new laptop and that he could take care of it. He told me to swing by the office and he could get a better look at the problem. When I got to his office he was very pleasant and assured me he would call with a diagnosis shortly. He then gave me an estimate and I was happy to have my laptop in good hands. I got a phone call the next morning reassuring what the Apple techs found and gave me a far more reasonable estimate for the work. I had my laptop dropped off by Neil which was extremely helpful during a busy workweek. Neil was great at communicating and reassuring me that everything would get fixed and be alright. I felt taken care of from the moment I called Neil. read more

Brought to my Asus ROG gaming desktop to Neil after it was not booting up properly and stuck in a BIOS loop. He was able to quickly identify the issue with my computer and begin to go to work on it. After only 45min he was able to recognize the issue and then fix it. I'm very happy with the job he has done and will definitely refer anyone with all types of issue to come in and inquire. 5 stars will definitely be back upon need. read more

Great service. Fast work. I had my graphics card changed and a computer tune up. Neil is very solution oriented.

I couldn't ask for any better service what Neil has provided me. I was upset about my computer and did my research and decided to give Neil a try I read all the good reviews about him, but my experience was so good, it would be wrong not to chime in. Neil was kind, responsive, professional, reasonably priced, and completely effective. I'd hoped he could rescue the files off the hard drive in my dead laptop, and he saved them all, with a very quick turnaround, and he couldn't have been nicer. He always returned phone promptly, and informed me on phone and never made me feel like It's top-notch, trustworthy service, with a smile. Will call you again incase if I have problem with my computer. it is better to use one guy that you can always count on issue with mw computer I had lost my data and my QuickBooks file Neil recovered it all and go me back in business next day . read more
