    I had a hard drive crash and contacted the owner, Dave, through Yelp. Dave was very helpful and…read moresuggested approaches I could try before using his services. One was to purchase an cable to test the drive on other computers. In the end it turned out that the drive wasn't functional. Dave then recommended a data recovery company. I would highly recommend contacting PC Consulting.

    The rumors are true: Dave is a very reliable, trustworthy, and helpful techie…read more My home computer wouldn't agree to turn on, and since I work from home, my work was severely hampered. I didn't know who to take my computer to for a fix other than the Geek Squad at Best Buy, who haven't been very helpful to me in the past. I figured I'd have to just suck it up and go buy a new, more compliant desktop computer that day. However, I checked with Yelp first just to see if there were any shops nearby that might be able to fix my computer. I'm really happy I came across PC Consulting. Dave was able to help me immediately. I brought him my computer, he tried a bunch of things to diagnose, and even though he confirmed that my motherboard had joined the Great Computer in the Sky, he was able to save my hard drive and memory and install it in a really inexpensive, temporary solution. He also gave me some great suggestions for my next computer even sending me a link to a great deal on Dell's website ($200 off!) for a computer ideal for my usage. He's a really nice guy. We chatted for a little bit more about geeky stuff before I took my temporary computer home to see if I could again VPN to my company. Success! Thanks to Dave, I was actually able to finish my work for the day, a feat I really didn't think I'd be able to achieve, let alone in just a few hours from when I discovered my original computer was dead. And I spent a couple Benjamins less than I'd expected.

    Zero stars if I could. They will make your computer unusable and leave you high and dry with zero…read moreaccountability to fix what they broke. At least that was my experience. Avoid seeking help from these guys as they will do everything but help. And then they will be rude and dismissive of your concerns on top of that. It was a terrible experience that I hope others never have to experience. Save your money and go elsewhere dependable.

    Update: 11:33 AM on 3/24/2023 in response to Emerald City IT's Google Review comments, "This man…read morebrought in a computer after he experienced "pops and cracks" coming from the motherboard. The computer is not fixable. I think he smokes meth..." When I brought my computer in, I mentioned "cooling fans grinding a bit and the graphics card putting off a static buzz" - all communicated over text message which I have screenshots of. Never once did I mention "pops and cracks" coming from the motherboard. That was a previously non-existing issue until Correo worked on my PC. Also, to say the computer is "non-fixable" is a completely false statement and reflects your capabilities. I have another shop FIXING it as we speak - just for a lot of money because of the damage done by Correo and Emerald City IT. As for smoking meth, very mature move from a business owner... Good to see customer services comes first. STAY AWAY!!! COMPUTER RUINER!!! This guy is a hack!!! He will fry your machine, and then make fabricated claims about "existing electrical damage" being the reason for the computer being fried. Additionally, he will fail to provide a logical explanation for what caused the issue. Long and short of it, I dropped off a functioning computer, and a day later picked up a $2,500 paper weight because of the work performed. Do I have a story for you... Last Sunday, I took my custom built gaming PC in for a standard hardware cleaning and maintenance. It was working perfectly fine beforehand - I was gaming current gen games until 30 minutes before dropping off the computer. Because it was a few years old, I wanted it to receive a professional deep clean and maintenance - boy was that a mistake. Through the cleaning process, Correo fried the motherboard, and rendered the computer non-functioning (it was never clearly communicated that the computer was now non-functioning until I took it home and fired it up). He then tried to upsell to a newer motherboard because of the "electrical damage" to the existing motherboard. He also tried to sell me a new custom built gaming PC (for $3K-$5K) apparently because he fried my computer. I said no, and that I wanted my current computer "running as best as possible." Flash forward - I picked up my computer Monday (still surprisingly dirty following a professional "Clean and Tune-Up"), took it home, hooked it up, and... FRIED! The PC wouldn't even boot past the Bios screen. I immediately tried texting Correo for assistance - no response. I then called Correo for assistance - he answered the phone but refused to listen to me, berated me, continuously interrupted me (despite his insistence that interrupting is rude), and eventually hung up on me because he refused to address the situation. That evening I sent a follow up email requesting assistance - NO RESPONSE. Emailed again Tuesday morning - NO RESPONSE. Emailed again Wednesday - NO RESPONSE. Left a voicemail for Correo on Wednesday - NO RESPONSE. Emailed again on Thursday - NO RESPONSE. Left ANOTHER voicemail on Thursday - NO RESPONSE. Finally, my wife called Correo on her phone, connected with him, and the same phone conversation as last time ensued - she was nothing but pleasant, and tried to clearly, calmly communicate with Correo. However, Correo continuously interrupted her, didn't listen to her, berated her, and eventually hung up on her. I have now taken my PC to another PC repair company, and they have validated that all damage done to the computer was a result of the work performed by Correo and Emerald City IT. They made it explicitly clear that there is no way I would have been operating the PC, let alone gaming, if there had been electrical damage to the motherboard before dropping off the PC at Emerald City IT. Fortunately they can salvage the PC... but only at 10X the cost of a standard tune up because of all the parts Correo fried... To summarize, ABSOLUTELY DO NOT use Correo & Emerald City IT for any IT related matters. He will damage your assets, drag out the process, cost you A LOT more money in the long run, and be a completely rude person throughout it all. Buyer beware...
