I really like the flat rate repair idea. After speaking with Damon on the phone I felt at ease. He worked on my computer while I waited and we talked about what could be causing the problems. Again I felt I was in capable hands. Daniel also help with my computer so I got two techs for the price of one. This is just the type of local small business that deserves your support. read more

Great excellent service , helped me a lot and able to accommodate to costumer. If theres anything computer related work you need done this is your guy ! read more

What can I say but Damon is the best. After being F'd by Frys (don't ever buy an extended warranty through them) He helped with installing my replacement motherboard and added a little extra copper shim to improve it. read more

I was very impressed with the service that I received from Damon! I will most definitely be recommending and referring all of my friends to him! I was in desperate need of my laptop to be fixed as soon as possible, since it is the only one that I have and all of my school work is on it. He immediately identified the problem and got right to work on it, and I was able to pick it up within a few hours! He is truly amazing and really knows what he is doing :) He is very, very reasonable as well when it comes to charging for his services. I was very hesitant to take my computer in anywhere because I always assumed that anything that had to do with computers costs a lot, but I was pleasantly surprised with the price that he offered to fix it! read more

Based on the great reviews, I called Damon to help me fix my desk top. I have not used it in 2 years (since we moved here) The clock would not stay current which created security issues and I could not connect to the Internet. I googled it on my phone and had no luck. I explained it to Damon and he said-sounds like a battery issue (in computer lingo) and that's about $2 at Fryes. So I pull off the side of the hard drive and there is a simple battery (that I had a ton of at home for my little tea light candles) and it was fixed!! Damon could have taken my money and I still would have been grateful. This truly shows what a honest and ethical guy he is. Thanks Damon!! read more

That was easy! I had a cracked screen on my Macbook and Damon helped me get the new screen and replaced it same day! I was fully expecting to be without my computer for a few days and am so thankful I can type this review without dodging weird lines on my screen. Thank you! read more

Damon was awesome and really knew his stuff! I have been trying to fix my Mac on my own for a year now, but he fixed it in less than an hour. It was amazing and you can't beat his prices anywhere! I'd recommend him to ANYONE that asks me for computer help/repair. I will definitely go back if I'm having computer issues again. read more

Damon does a good job, willing to work with you on options, willing to save you money. Labor is reasonable. Make the drive, give him your business. read more

I have a toddler who ripped several keys off my lap top. I called Digital Dummys because it was close by and explained my situation, obviously worried about the price (single mom here... extra expenses= not good). To my surprise Damon said it should only take a few minutes, so he could do it for free! That is so rare to find these days, some one who will help you, if you need help! That really says a lot about a person's morals, amazing work ethic! When I got there, he replaced the entire keyboard for me, in just a few minutes! I was truly blown away by his kindness. THANK YOU, DAMON!!! read more

He is fast, and awesome. He's fixed 3 of my laptops and I've had no problems. His pricing is the best.

Very communicative honest. Gave me a good quote via email and got the job done faster than anticipated. I had to get a motherboard replacement and he called to check with me before sourcing the part online. I would return for future issues. read more

Met the owner Damon and he not only fixed ALL of our computers, he gave me advice on all our phone, etc. We have brought our printers, computers, etc there several times and have received superior service. We are life long customers. Thank you! read more

Damon at Digital Dummy's is amazing! I called and told Damon my problems. He said "come on in". He had me better than new in less than an hour!!!! I cannot recommend him highly enough. He not only fixed my PC issue he cleaned up my laptop so it was 100% faster at not extra cost whatsoever! Damon goes above and beyond to be sure his clients are happy. I will be a customer for life! read more

I had purchased a used Laptop from a now DEFUNCT computer doctor in Ventura. Had many issues, finally unable to even access the internet. Brought my laptop to Damon. What a Wonderful experience. Not only did he tell me what was wrong he fixed it for a reasonable price. I had it back in 24 hours. Now NO ONE ELSE has REMOTE access to my computer. Some really DISREPUTABLE people out there. BE AWARE!! Thanks again read more

I called up the shop because of all the great reviews, and asked if they could fix my fraying Macbook Pro charger cord. Damon, the owner, suggested I take a look on eBay for the cord for a fraction of the price anywhere else. I did, and sure enough, found what I needed! He was so sweet and helpful. You KNOW I'm bringing my computers here if I ever have need of actual computer fixing. In fact I just thought of something they might be able to help me with... read more

I actually found these guys on Yelp and thought there is no way that they have gotten nothing but 5 stars and great reviews. I stand corrected, they offer an amazing service. I called about a week ago for my Mac that had died. Damon was giving me instructions over the phone on how to fix it myself. I have never heard of an IT company doing this. I ended up grabbing all the components he recommended and took my computer by the shop. I showed up earlier than they were supposed to be open but they were already there. They were very honest and took time to explain what was going on. Four hours later they called me to let me know that my Mac was finished. They even threw in some extras. I haven't really had a need for computer repair in the past, but I definitely have my place now and will be recommending them to anyone who needs computer repairs. read more

A++ Service, Repairs, Rates. Would highly recommend for all your computer repair needs.

This company was fast best pricing i have ever had. He knows what he is doing and will not rip you off. My hats off to a honest computer service company. Dont go anywhere else!!!! read more

I took my laptop in for problems with the headphone jack and charging port. Damon was able to take a look at it immediately, discovered that the charging port problem was actually my adapter being broken and gave me advice for what new adapter to buy, and then opened up the laptop and made some minor adjustments to the headphone jack. Everything was done within 15 minutes, and he even replaced two screws that had gone missing, all free of charge! He was very friendly and helpful throughout - I highly recommend going to him for your computer problems. read more

I have been bringing my computers to Damon at Digital Dummys for about six years now. He has helped me with the proper installation of programs I needed for school, to fixing broken hardware on my laptop, to ridding my computer of viruses. He is very knowledgeable and patient. Turn around time for all my services were usually within the day or next. I have listened to Damon consult other customers and he is exactly the same: very informative, explains everything. I would not think of going anywhere else for my computer services. read more

Really doesnt get any better than Damon! I've now taken two computers to Damon plus some issues with a video camera. I highly recommend him to anyone with computer issues! His service is fast, top quality and the best prices around! read more

Go straight to Damon at Digital Dummies if you want to save a lot of time and money. He cuts right to the chase and gets the job done and fast! Wish more businesses would adopt the kind of fast and accurate service Damon supplies. read more

Great job- He diagnosed my desktop. fixed the problems and had it running in 24 hours - after the guys at Good G said it could not be repaired . He price was very reasonable and he even gave me some info on keeping my computer running fast & smooth. read more

We took our computer with our new router to be hooked up because I tried and couldn't get it to work. Damon worked on it for about 20 min. and got it all set up for me. This was the first time I have had work done and would recommend him to anyone. read more

Very knowledgeable, fast service and great value for the money! It took less than 15 minutes to repair my laptop! Very Happy!!

I have been taking my computer to Damon for a couple of years and he has been very generous to me. He keeps at the problems until they are solved and then is more then fair on his charges. After experiencing techs that have no business touching computers that caused me even more problems and businesses that charge crazy amounts for their work (I will resist naming them), Damon at Digital Dummy's is a god send. While I really hope I don't have to go anywhere for a very long while, I wouldn't go anywhere else. read more

I will never go anywhere else to have my computer worked on. Damon is extremely knowledgeable and capable, but even more importantly he is honest, straightforward, and friendly. He will offer you options that are clearly not motivated by his economic gains. He offered me a $10 solution for a problem I was prepared to pay a lot more for. Don't waste your time (and money) going anywhere else. read more

It's quite simple, in a time where follow thru and reasonable pricing has been lost in the shuffle, Damon has brought it back to life when servicing my computer. I was in a pinch with a failed hard drive and TWO external backups that I "thought" would be an easy restore to a new hard drive but was I ever wrong. Damon quoted a price and timeframe and despite the headache he was about to tackle (who knew when I had TWO backups that I did every day) he followed thru to the penny and time frame. Best of all, the computer not only works, but better than before with all my old files in their correct place. Everything works and I couldn't be more appreciative. Damon and the Digital Dummy's will be my "go to" location to fix anything digital from here on out. read more

I just had my computer fixed by Damon at Digital Dummys Computer Services. He is awesome! I am known for pinching pennies, and I can assure you his prices are very reasonable. I had this computer given to me by my son. The computer worked fine, but there was no sound, and it could only connect to the internet wirelessly. When I first called Damon on the phone, he tried to troubleshoot the problem with me over the phone. That impressed me, as most repair people want you to bring the computer in right away so they can start being paid for their services. When it appeared that it was a more serious problem than what could be fixed over the phone, Damon did suggest that I bring it in to his shop. Being very concerned about how much a repair bill could run me, I asked Damon up front how much it could roughly cost me. He told me that he would try and fix it for free! Right at that moment, I was becoming a huge fan of Damon and Digital Dummys Computer Services. I quickly drove over to Damon's store and he started working on my computer. I watched him as he tried to install free drivers from the internet, and do many other methods to repair the sound problem. Unfortunately, the sound card on my computer was bad. At that time, Damon suggested I go and buy an inexpensive sound card from Fry's and he showed me how I could install it myself easily. To me, this was quite unbelievable! Not only had he just spent the better part of an hour troubleshooting my computer, but he was also recommending a competitor and showing me how to save more money by installing it myself! It was reminiscent of the scene from Miracle on 34th Street where the Macy's Santa recommends the customers go to Gimbels because Macy's didn't have the item the customer needed. Because I am so inept when it comes to computers, I mentioned to Damon that I would like to go buy the sound card from Fry's and then come back and pay him to install it for me, so I could be assured it was done correctly. At that point he said "Let me check around and see if I have a spare sound card." He found a good used sound card and installed it. Voila! The sound works perfectly! Damon installed the new/used sound card, fixed my internet connection so now it connects through an ethernet cable as well as wirelessly, got my 2 DVD drives working, and optimized my computer so it runs super-fast. Damon also installed a program that protects my computer from viruses. He did all this for what I think was an incredibly reasonable, if not too low of a price. I wholeheartedly recommend Damon and Digital Dummys Computer Services! I will never go anywhere else as long as I can take my computer repair problems to Damon! Bill Stewart Ventura, CA read more

Amazing service! I needed to leave town because of a family emergency and he was able to get my computer done early. So thankful for the great service I received. Highly recommend read more

After shopping around the area for a place to fix my computer, I found that Flat Rate Computer Pros were not only extremely helpful and exerienced but had quick turn around. And I still have money left in my pocket! Thank you Flat Rate Computer Pros...you are a life saver! read more

Yes, as good as it gets. That is the simple truth. My computer is clean and faster than ever with better protection. Other services I've found charge more and give you much less. He is experienced and professional. My computer ability is a work in progress and I wasn't treated like a Dummy! Many thanks Damon. I wish you great success. WGS. read more

So, I did a search yesterday here on yelp for a Laptop repair service close to my parents. My Dad needed to clean his up. I called Damon and he said, "If he could get it soon, he could probably have it back the same day." Well, above and beyond is what he did. My Dad quickly brought it over and stayed as he was done in less than half an hour. He even updated his virus software. As my Dad went to pay him, he refused to take his money and said that he hadn't been there long and it was an easy fix. WOW! What a GREAT guy! To top off his great service, my Dad had noticed after he left that his little mouse thing that plugs in the side was missing, so he called up Damon to ask if it had fallen off there. He found it on the curb and said he would mail it back to him. Talk about class act, a couple hours later, a ring at my parents door. It was Damon PERSONALLY delivering my Dad's mouse adapter. My Dad was blown away by how amazing Damon was. He is happy to have found his new computer guy :) Thank you Damon! A Man of Honor! read more

This is the kind of business that is worth of driving to even if you are not local. My Asus laptop appeared to have a DC jack problem. I was expecting to wait at least a couple of days to have it repaired and expected about $75 in costs. To my great surprise he called me and said my DC jack was just fine. Within several hours i picked up my laptop. He did ask if I had animals because he cleaned it out and found animal hair inside the computer. I feel so grateful I expected to pay $75 because he opened up my computer to diagnose it. Instead, he told me there was no charge. He also gave me some free advice on the best antivirus software which happens to be free. This is the go to place in Ventura County. read more

His office reminded me of an old school Silicon Valley surplus shop where he has everything from every computer--so it seems--piled everywhere. Anyhow, when it came down to business, the owner was very efficient and thorough in fixing an aggressive virus on my laptop that compromised the entire computer. Had it back the next day working like new. He seems to take his work seriously. read more

Absolutely can't say enough about the service here. I brought in a desktop tower that wouldn't start. After assessing the problem over the phone, he went to work immediately when I arrived. After only 10 minutes or so he was finished and I was back in business! He dusted out the inside of the computer and carried it to my car. I figured we would go back inside so he could write me up an invoice but he insisted it was free of charge because he "really didn't do anything". You never see that in today's day and age and I was pleasantly surprised (although I wanted to pay him because who can live without their computer???). I will be returning for any and all of my computer needs. Best in the area! Thank you! read more

Great service and quick. I got my laptop back within 25 hours. Polite and professional service, I will definitely recommend this business to my friends. read more

Wow, what a great experience. Damon replaced the LCD screen on my older mac with a used one he found online. Not only is he a nice guy, he is exceptional at his trade. The used screen he installed works great and the final bill was 1/3 the price he quoted me b/c he found such a good deal on the replacement. Forget the Apple store the real genius right here in Ventura. read more

My yelp computer repair search was right on with Digital Dummys! I brought my computer by because it wasn't turning on. Damon immediately found the problem and explained it to me in a way that completely made sense, using helpful non-tech metaphors! Then he did a quick scan of my computer to find things that might be slowing it down. I walked out with a simple list of easy uninstalls I could do on my own to speed up my computer! And he recommended a free anti-virus to download on my own. Not only did I walk out (in less than 20 minutes) with my problem resolved, but I walked it with things to do on my own to improve my computer. Couldn't give a bigger rec to Damon. Totally made my day! I'll be back for sure. read more

I took my new laptop to Damon after it got a trojan virus from downloading Adobe and Firefox on it. Damon had it ready for me at the end of the day and was able to get all the issues resolved. He also changed my default settings so that the computer will run faster. Great service and I highly recommend Damon to anyone who has a computer issue. I really like the flat rate idea as you know exactly what you are going to be paying. Well worth the $75! read more
