The IMIM store is the retail storefront face of Hobby Engineering and is owned/run by Al…read more Some background : I started going to Hobby Engineering when he was located in Millbrae on El Camino. Got a PIC programer and some other various things. After he moved to the current location thats closer to the airport I continue to buy things from him, usually emergencies when I'm short a part or have a rush on something. Hobby Engineering has a searchable website so you can see what he has in stock. The IMIM store hours are what I would nicely say Quasi-Predictable. He's basically running two businesses at the same time by himself and most business is through the mail-order/warehouse side of things however you can really tell he wants to have a storefront. I know currently he's trying for regular Saturday hours but its always best to read the website instructions. When I need something I check the website, then I call to see when he'll be around. If I'm in a rush after confirming he'll be there I'll place the order online and pay for it as a Will-Call and swing by. He has also been incredible in the past and met me at weird or late hours to pick something up. The IMIM store itself is on the second floor and he's making good progress on it as of my last visit. Quite a bit of hobby-related stuff on the shelves to browse. His speciality seems to be Robotics but a lot of general model making supplies around too. Not some much on display for general electronics but the warehouse is just downstairs so if you know he has it in stock and he doesn't have bunches of customers upstairs he has no issues grabbing parts from the warehouse. I have to reiterate, you need to read the website. Local store. One person. Hard to cover everything by himself. My hope ( and I'm sure Al's ) is that the storefront gets enough traction to warrant an employee. He's got a bunch of space and a lot of possibility.

Realizing that the store had some idiosyncratic operating procedures, I called the number on the web site. The person who answered was positively discouraging of a visit. He wanted to know what I was working on, and told me that he didn't really have any stock out to look at. I suspect that this is really a mail-order business, and references to it as a retail outlet are misinformed It would be nice if the owner changed his website to reflect that fact.

My monitor recently displayed an ominous "no HDMI" message, blocking me from using or even seeing…read moremy system. Even the HDMI message disappeared after I checked and double-checked all my cables and connections. I took my desktop tower to Central Computers, not knowing whether the monitor, the cables or the computer were at fault. Pedro quickly determined that the computer was fine -- it was NVIDIA trying (with no warning) to update a driver that brought my system to a halt. He and Stirling monitored the update, then NVIDIA started a second one, which seemed stuck. Stirling downloaded the update directly from NVIDIA and finally got the job done. The wait (about 2 hours) was well worth it to regain my sanity. Pedro and Stirling were very kind, explaining everything and chatting with me when I wasn't browsing the aisles. This is now my go-to place for computer help.

There wasn't a security guard at the entrance where they normally are to tell the woman about the dog, and I noticed no other employees noticed either.

This is where you're gonna get this type of service and I will no longer be going to Best Buy or a Magnolia for my future purchases. You don't get that type of one on one service at stores like that.

Please be aware of this business…read more I went in to receive a normal repair for my iPhone's screen because it was broken. At the end of the service the owner Claro did not attempt to inform me that he incorrectly preformed the service incorrectly. Yall, this man gave me my phone back with a broken face id, with a crack on the new screen, and on top of that he didn't even put the new screen back correctly because you could see a whole in between the screen and the body. BUT WAIT THERES MORE. After i confronted him about what i noticed this man goes on to tell me that i don't know what im talking about and proceeded to insult my ethnicity. Calling me a "trashed Philippino from the mountains" I wished it ended there but The story continues Tell me why i go and write an initial review on yelp and this man deletes it and blocks my other account, then he calls my phone and also writes me on yelp just to repeatedly tell me that filipinos from the mountains are trash. IN THE CALL THIS MAN THEN THREATENS ME AND TELLS ME HE WILL THEN FIND ME AND KILL ME ‍ What a jerk. Try this business at your own risk but my experience here was terrible.
