The service was an absolute failure: Zero Urgency & Unprofessionalism: It took MONTHS--not days--to get an equipment estimate, despite being hired for quick response. There were constant delays, missed deadlines, and all-around poor communication. Hidden Fees & Massive Overcharge: Their final quote was a shocking $19,000--nearly double the initial estimate. A closer look revealed an undisclosed, hidden surcharge on all hardware, and $1,600 more than B&H Photo for the main RAID system. Rude Management & Illegal Practices: When I called to question the surcharges and ask for my $1K fee back, the supervisor was rude and condescending, defending the "normal" surcharges. Admitted to Illegal Recording: Most alarmingly, the person I was speaking with admitted on the call that he was illegally recording the conversation without my consent, only stopping the recording midway through. As California is a two-party consent state, this is a clear violation of state privacy laws and demonstrates a complete disregard for ethical and legal business conduct. I would advise everyone to steer clear of CEG. They overcharge, hide fees, lack professionalism, and engage in deeply questionable business practices. Jim G.

Ends up it was the screen that had come detached and needed replaced. Unfortunately the cost of the repair was more expensive than the worth of the phone. So they were able to put it back together, better than when I dropped it off, and didn't charge me anything. Everyone I spoke with was friendly and courteous, definitely first class service. For any computer or smart phone repairs I know how to call first! The folks at CEG rock!

Apple tech issues? Tired of shlepping an hour to Corte Madera? Look no further -- visit cafeMac in…read moreSonoma on Broadway! So I finally upgraded my iPhone from 13 mini to 17 pro mac. In the process, I took all of my family's numerous USB(A)-Lightning charging cables to my local environmentally friendly recycling center. A week later, I realized that my cordless keyboard and cordless magic mouse both still need to be charged using USB(A)-Lightning cables. Duh! Groan. I had moved to Sonoma where I discovered that there isn't an Apple store nearby. For several small issues, I've had to drive an hour to Apple Corte Madera or waited until I needed to go to SF to visit the Apple Chestnut Street location. Both tend to be crowded. I drove an hour to Apple Santa Rosa, but their staff left me underwhelmed. I couldn't find a used USB(A)-Lightning cable on FaceBook Marketplace that was near enough to me. My environmentally friendly recycle center in San Rafael (Renew) isn't open on the weekends, where they also sell a variety of used cables. ChurchMouse in Sonoma didn't sell the right type of used charging cable. So ... I drove to Apple Corte Madera, where the salesperson *ostensibly* listened to my problem and then promptly sold me the wrong charging cable. They sold me a USB(C)-Lightning cable, insisted that it was the correct solution for what I needed, never asked the year of my destop Mac (it's on their system), the year of my laptop (it's on their system), or what kind of Apple block plugs I have at home. Spoiler alert ... I now realize that they are all USB(A). Rather than drive to Corte Madera AGAIN, I wisely tried out cafeMac on Broadway in Sonoma. BINGO. The owner and staff members are super friendly and understanding. They are great with tech. They are good listeners, unlike some of the staff at Apple stores who are young, new, overly confident (and sometimes wrong), and constantly trying to sell me additional things that I simply don't need. cafeMac happily offered to exchange my "wrong" USB(C)-Lightning cable for the "right" USB(A)-Lightning cable, at no charge. I asked if they needed my receipt to show that I'd bought it directly from an Apple store just a few days prior. They didn't need to see it. Their customer-oriented attitude and friendly nature immediately put me at ease and make me want to come here for all my Apple tech problems and purchases! Their location on Broadway is excellent and street parking is easy. Kudos to owner Jim Witous and his excellent staff for such a smart idea -- providing real service to a geographic area which is not served by Apple. I am so glad to see cafeMac able to service the many Apple users in Sonoma and Napa. I was surprised when I moved here to Sonoma to discover that Apple has no store in either Sonoma or Napa and has no plans to service these areas. I'm proud to support my local stores and impressed with their service attitude. Sonoma Proud!
