I highly recomend Connectionz Computer Repair to anyone with a computer issue. My problem took only a few min to fix over the phone. The person who helped was a man named Tony and he was nice, professional, and ready to help! Because of the experience I had with this company I won't be going anywhere else. read more

Tony helped me out with my ancient Toshiba laptop once again; worked around my schedule and got it back to me the same day. Thanks again!

I was having problems with my HP laptop's wireless card a few months ago and after trying in vain to fix the thing on my own, searched on Yelp for the best repair house. Connectiionz came up, had great reviews, but was in Pasadena. I said eff it and drove out there. I had no idea how much the fix was gonna cost, but needed it done, so was prepared to pay. Tony answered the bell, walked me back to his shop (past his kitchen where his wife was looking to make something good). I told him my issues, he booted it up, fiddled around for a bit and said it was fixed. I was still there and he had only worked on it for five minutes or so. In addition, when I asked to be billed he it was MUCH LESS than I expected. This guy is fast, efficient and most important, very REASONABLE. THANKS TONY! Go get'em YELP!! read more

Tony took in my computer for a diagnostic and he found nothing wrong with the hardware, so he returned my computer free of charge. He is very polite and fast. If I ever run into problems, I'll go to him first. read more

Tony is quite simply the best computer tech you will ever meet. I made an appointment with him and showed up to his house with three boxes full of computer components. To say Tony built my computer would be an understatement. In reality Tony carefully routed every loose cable behind the backplate and made the inside look like a dream. He then ran over an hour of tests to make sure all components were working 100%. It is so rare when you find someone that cares so much about what he does. Tony is a real professional and I will never go anywhere else. For the price of his extremely reasonable fees, why risk messing up your brand new computer parts? Thank you Tony! read more

Tony is very honest and professional...I agree with all the reviews below. I work for a computer consultant company and I come to him for laptop repairs. He's always up front about how much it cost and what needs to be done. I highly recommend him. read more

Excellent price. Good Fast service. Exemplary communication. So happy I found Tony through Yelp.

I'd give Tony 6 stars if I could. I had a virus problem and other things going wrong with my computer. He cleaned it up and also got rid of alot of programs I didn't need that was sucking up my data storage space and slowing my computer. He fixed it at a very fair price. Now my computer is working like a Ferrari. Also, he's a very friendly and helpful guy, I'd highly recommend him to anyone and would use his services again read more

Well I was only there for a few minutes, but that was only because there was nothing wrong with my computer, I thought it was going to be $150 to fix my computer but Tony checked my adapter and it was dead. So I liked it, he was nice and made it quick and easy and he saved me from spending necessary money:). read more

I called and spoke to Tony, and was able to bring my computer that afternoon. I had a seriously nasty virus that attacked my entire computer, even my installed antivirus program rendering my laptop useless. He was able to immediately diagnose, and had it done by the next morning! He was very fast and I am very satisfied with his services. Highly recommended to utilize! read more

Tony was great. Quick to reply, and got all the data off my fried laptop (since it wasn't possible to repair the computer itself).

I'm one of those people that have to yelp or receive a trustworthy recommendation before engaging any type of business or service. Living in Arcadia, I found a few different service providers, but I ended up going with CCR because Tony's yelp reviews were superior. The reviews are accurate. Tony ran diagnostics on all three of my laptops for FREE. He charged me $60 to remove malware/viruses from one laptop. He also gave me an honest diagnosis that I needed to reformat the second computer--he reformated the laptop, backed up data, and installed basic programs for a reasonable price of $120. Best of all, he told me that I didn't need to do any work on my third computer. Honestly, I have pretty outstanding senses when it comes to sniffing out service providers who are out to milk people. I can vouch for Tony that he is a stand-up service tech--he is not going to deliberately run up your tab. He works from home. He's got a family. He's a great guy. And most of all, he doesn't overcharge. read more

Tony was great. Really easy to work with and reasonable. He is personable, and exudes a helpful, friendly, easy-going, and competent attitude. I felt I could trust his service and advice. Highly recommend his services and would go to him again for computer repair. read more

My daughter had problems with her NetBook not booting up. When I called Asus, they wanted me to send it to them to get an estimate on the repairs. This probably would have taken weeks and hundreds of dollars. When I called Tony, he fixed it in 2 days for $60. It works beautifully now . I would definitely recommend Tony to others. read more

I had a little problem with my laptop I searched a computer repair professional in my area. I found one with exceptional review score on yelp. When I talked with Tony, I remembered that I had him work on my old laptop four years ago. I had a good experience with him then, but I didn't keep his contact information. He is a same guy I met four years ago. He did his job very professially and efficiently . I am completely satisfy with his work and attitude. I want to share his good work with all yelp searchers. He has been a good guy long time before I knew about yelp. read more

I found Tony on Yelp and have been to him several times over the years. I recommend him highly without reservation. He is highly professional, knows his stuff, and his service is quick. I wouldn't go to anyone else. read more

Tony is absolutely amazing! We've used his excellent services twice now, but most recently we had a PC that crashed and we needed Tony to bridge some legacy software that was from 1995 to our new PC, which was running Windows 10. We tried installing the software ourselves, but of course with no luck. Couldn't find the original install CD either. Tony was able to get the software up and running from install files saved to a flash drive, onto our new PC, without any kinks - all data recovered, too. He's amazing (kind of like a Rockstar PC tech). Whatever issues you're having, give Tony a call, because he'll most certainly be able to fix them! read more

If you have a computer problem, go see Tony!! I have a Vista desktop that seemed like it died. I called Tony late in the afternoon and he told me to bring it on by. I dropped it off by 7:00 pm on a Thursday night. He told me he'd look at it and get back to me by noon the next day. Before noon, Tony called and told me it was ready to go. I got off work late Friday night and couldn't pick up the computer until 9:00. He told me come on by and he'd have it ready for me. I picked it up and he didn't even charge me. He had told me on the phone when I first called him that trying to determine the problem would be no charge. I didn't think fixing it would be on his dime. Tony is very personable, nice, knowledgeable and trustworthy. I would recommend him to everyone that has an issue with their computer. read more

Okay, so by now we all know that Tony is the best ever. But I just had to say it again because I really thought I was gonna die when my computer crashed! I initially took my computer to Geek Squad...they should be called Punk Squad! They will definitely try and punk you out of your money. They wanted to charge me over three times as much as Tony did and it would have taken TWO WEEKS when Tony was able to do it in three days! Yaaaay Tony! Thanks for giving me my life back. I promise to backup on a consistent basis. Really! :) read more

There is no one better than Tony! Honest, Affordable, Efficient, Friendly, the list goes on and on. This is now the second time I have to come to him for computer repair needs and this time around he fixed the problem in a matter of minutes and didn't even charge me. I highly suggest Tony for any problems you are having with your PC. Tony has a wealth of knowledge and he is open to answering questions and giving you the best advice. I would recommend Tony to anyone needing computer services. He gets an A ++++ in my book!!! I am very impressed!!! read more

Since my last review in 2010, I've recommended friends and family to Tony's service and he's gotten great reviews from them all. I recently took my laptop in for a bit of minor surgery; it was beginning to run hot again, so I asked Tony to crack open the case to clean it out and also re-seat the CPU heatsink with a fresh application of thermal paste. Taking a computer apart is a delicate task and does come with the risk of damage (which Tony appropriately warned me about) Fortunately, Tony did a great a job and my laptop is running a good 12 degrees celsius cooler - and the fans are quieter) As a side note, I read the 3-star review from Evan H...His explanation of the problem he had with Tony's service is an incoherent mess. If his conversations with Tony were anything like his review, it's no wonder Tony wasn't able to help him with his problem. read more

Tony is wonderful. I work from home and turned on my work laptop one day to absolutely zero connection to the internet. My two other computers were working just fine. I knew I was in a bit of trouble as my own company's IS Team would be of zero assistance since I need connection for them to troubleshoot...which was the issue to begin with. I called Tony, who had helped my husband a few years ago on his computer, and Tony was awesome enough to offer to come to my home and look at my network connections - since I live pretty close. Within 5-10 minutes, Tony knew what the issue was and had me up and running - along with a few tips for my own troubleshooting if it were to happen again in the future. Thank you Tony, I truly appreciate it! read more

Tony is great! Fixed my HD when I broke it. Highly recommended.

I just want to chime in with top ratings for Tony. Forgot to post a review at the time, but in Feb. 2014 he recovered data and precious family photos from our Cub Scout leader's very old PC that had crashed beyond repair and been left in an alternately damp/dusty garage for the winter. Very good price and great advice. Thanks again Tony. I think of him every time I hear "Tony's Theme" by The Pixies. read more

Like many before me I too am grateful for Tony and the service he provides. He's prompt, courteous, and above all honest. Should a problem arise I know exactly who to turn to for a straightforward answer. Thanks Tony read more

Very professional, saved my all my data from old pc that crashed. Also repaired my laptop. Very nice person, understands what you mean when you say this is an Emergency, Urgent, and need vital files/computer running asap. I highly recommend Tony. He will save all your data that you feared would have been lost forever. read more

I found Tony on Yelp and his high ratings and positive comments left by others convinced me to call on him for help. He was able to recover the data from my dying hard drive. Of course I appreciated his technical expertise, but just as much, I appreciated his phone calls, updating me on the progress he was making. I will definitely call Tony for any future PC problems. THANK YOU!!! read more

My IT guy at worked accepted payment for fixing my laptop. All he did was screw it up more. I called Tony when a virus blocked me from doing anything. Within 24 hours he removed the virus, updated the computer and installed an anti-virus. I cant recommend him more and I will use him again. read more

Tony is prompt, very capable, and straightforward. Couldn't ask for a better experience in a laptop-crisis. While visiting family in LA, my dad's laptop went faulty with the most insidious virus. I was out of town and didn't know the area, but thanks to yelpers, I decided to give Tony a call. Here's why he's so awesome to work with: -He responded to a 10pm call on a Saturday evening and let me drop it off that night. -He had the computer fixed by 9am the next morning. -He was able to maneuver a system that was in a foreign language because "he likes a challenge." -He installed a quality anti-virus program, free of charge, for my luddite father whose computer's been 'unprotected' for years -He was straight up with a very reasonable price. -The screens in his workshop display an adorable photo of his baby daughter. Aw. A hearty thanks, Tony! read more

I found Tony's name on the Internet after shipping my college-bound son's home built computer across the country by UPS, opening it up in his dorm room and finding a number of parts, including a heavy fan and heat sink rattling around inside. Not surprisingly, it would not boot up. College was starting in a week, so we were in an emergency situation. I am not sure what good fairy led me to Tony, but he got us out of the jam we were in. He was able to look over the computer quickly and determined which parts were faulty and needed to be replaced. Because we were going to try to collect insurance, he had me buy the parts from his distributor so that it did not look like we were padding the bill. He installed a new hard drive, a new video card and a new motherboard and CPU, which we were able to get at a better price than the originals even though they were more powerful. All in a few days. Not only did the computer work better than before, but he straightened out the tangle of wiring that my sons had left when building it initially. For all that, he charged a very reasonable fee for labor and had everything up and running in time for classes to start. He wrote up a clear and professional invoice outlining the damage that he had verified in his tests, which I submitted to the insurance company. Even though I had not kept the original packaging (which UPS really likes you to do for a claim), the clear documentation that Tony helped me put together resulted in payment of the total cost of fixing the computer PLUS they refunded the shipping charges. And my son got a better computer, with neater wiring! One reason Tony was so good at this was because he has often built high powered custom computers for clients so he knows the ins and outs of putting together a system. He was professional, friendly and extremely reliable and responsible. I highly recommend Tony for any computer repair issues you have. He also makes house calls. read more

Connectionz offers definitely the best computer repair service I know of. The computer specialist, Tony, performs a truly wonderful job and the prices for services are much lower than in other places I previously went to. When the hard drive in my laptop broke, I brought it to Tony and he managed to save my whole system and copy it to a new drive with more memory. He partitioned it exactly as I wanted. He did all this in a very timely fashion, despite the fact that the operating system was in a foreign language which he wasn't familiar with! He even fixed the broken electric cord to my laptop for free. All in all, the service offered in Connectionz is quick and professional, while the prices are very low. In addition, Tony is a very friendly and honest guy, who will definitely solve all your computer problems. I highly recommend this place! read more

Thank goodness for YELP amd thank goodness for Tony/Connectionz....I was in such a bind a few weeks ago, visiting Pasadena for 2 weeks to get my son set up at college, his computer (basically his entire life...) arrived badly damaged by UPS, where it had been wrapped, shipped and of course also insured. We had very little time to try and get the thing up and working before I left town again, and I turned to YELP to find a repair service. Tony had so many 5 star ratings that I called him, and he literally rescued me that very day, a frazzled mom with no idea how to deal with this issue far from home, in a city I didn't know. Tony is an extraordinarily calm, kind, and smart fellow who was genuinely eager to help me and my son, and did everything he possibly could to deal with UPS (complicated!) and get the PC back in shape. He worked overtime repeatedly, but did ultimately manage the impossible...I just wish he lived in Chicago so I could use him back home. If you live in the area or travel there, this is your guy - very very reasonable prices too, although UPS will be paying, not me! read more

The rave reviews for Tony are still true as of late April 2013. Our Dell XPS was freezing up and the AT&T remote techs tried various things to no avail. The "Geek Squad" wanted a $280 subscription just to look at it. Tony checked it and found a few bad sectors in the hard drive and replaced it with a 500GB new HD and cleaned up the software for a very modest $200. He is a TREASURE. Thank you Tony! read more

Awesome service from awesome people! I was able to get help fast and at an affordable price. I recommend Tony to help with your computer issues (no matter how big or small) because he took the time to show me and explain the simple technical issues that were holding up my production. read more

Excellent service, prompt replies to your repair problems and just great service all around. He diagnosed my laptop crash and made every effort to revive an old Dell. After giving it the best try, we found out the problem could not be repaired so he set up my new lap top for a great price. Wonderful to work with. So nice to have a business treat you well these days which is a rarity. I have recommended him to all my friends. And by the way, his home office is in a very nice location in Pasadena! read more

I had an overheating issue with my laptop so I took it to Geek Squad. They told me it would cost $200.00 to diagnose it and if it needed to be opened, they would send it to their main facility with a 2-6 week turn around rate. I had a good idea of what the problem was and did not want to wait weeks and/or pay a ridiculous repair bill. I googled "computer repair pasadena" as I walked out of the Geek Squad store and found Connectionz on the second link. I saw all the positive reviews and called the number. I left a message describing my problem and less than an hour later, Tony called and gave me a more than fair repair quote. I dropped it off and in 2 days, my computer was ready for pick up. Tony charged me the exact amount he said it would cost and had it fixed and ready when he said he would. I was really happy with his service because it was cheaper to have Tony fix my laptop than pay Geek Squad to look at it. Tony even emailed me pictures of the work process! I will always take my computer problems to Tony! He is honest, thorough, fast, fair and keeps open communication with you at all times. Thanks again Tony! read more

My friend scanned my Macbook Pro (2010) and said the hard-drive was failing. It's over 5 years old. I immediately checked YELP to find the best of the best. I love to give business to the independent businesses. I found Tony right away and gave him a call. He got right back to me, and we scheduled a day and time. He is pretty busy (which to me is a good sign) He gets lots of referrals. Anyway, he told me right away that the hard drives only lasts about 5 years, so we knew that was pretty much the issue. After Tony checked, he said it was definitely the hard-drive. I was grateful that he took on the task. After working on it overnight, he was successful. I know I got a good deal, and now I feel like I'm working on a new Macbook Pro laptop. It's FAST FAST FAST. I had no idea what i was missing. Tony is honest, knowledgable and reasonable. He stands by his work. I HIGHLY recommend him. read more

Tony is great! I took a Dell Laptop to him on a Friday afternoon. I figured it would be sometime the next week when I'd get it back which would not have been a problem, and I feared the repair cost would be more than what the computer is worth. Well about an hour after I dropped it off Tony calls and says it'll be ready in a half hour. Fortunately for me it was a very inexpensive repair. Tony also guarantees his work. Honest, friendly business person. That's rare today. Thanks Tony, you're the man! read more

This is the "go to" guy for all of your pc needs. Had an older model Dell notebook that got a virus and crashed. Tony did an overnight data recovery and recommended/installed enhancements to improve the operating performance until I replaced computer. I basically got another year of use from notebook because of him. I just got another Dell notebook and printer that he was able to set up for me (transferring files and programs from old notebook, etc.) Tony is the best--a nice guy who really knows his stuff !! read more

I've been going to Tony for many years with various computer problems. He's always very professional and is very good about following up. Fair pricing and he never makes me feel dumb, even though my computer/IT IQ is very very low. I'd trust him with any of my computer issues! read more
