Ron is a life saver! My iMac 27 2013 hdd died and he was able to replace it in 1.5 days. He also share his knowledge on hdd and help recovered my data. I would percent recommend Ron to anyone. He can also turn your old macs brand new again with the latest mac os. read more

He is always friendly, reliable, skilled. Highly recommend. I have been to him several times.

My laptop had charging issues due to fall damage. I brought it to a big computer store in San Mateo, they initially estimated $270 then increased to $580 as the connection of USB-c port to motherboard was damaged. I figured it was not worth fixing as a new laptop would cost close to that amount. I found Ron's contact through a web search and wanted to try (also needed to take some files back from the laptop if it was not fixable). Ron was able to identify the issue in a few days (also fixed the keyboard connection that was left disconnected presumably by the big store) for half of the other price. To reduce the motherboard cost he found a used one from eBay and additionally reduced cost by bidding low, which works perfectly.I got my laptop back in less than a week. Did I tell you the big store took about a month just to identify the issue? If you have computer issues, contact Ron, you will not be disappointed. While I do not want to go into computer issues again any time soon, I will gladly reach out to Ron again as he is very reliable and personable. read more

Ron is an extremely ethical person to deal with. He looked over my MacBook in great detail and determined it would be more expensive than it was worth to repair and didn't charge me anything fir his diagnosis. I will deal with him and only him for all my future computer repair needs. read more

I was looking for someone to help me repair my laptop which had a weird corrupt disk issue. Amazingly I noticed Ron worked literally on my street so I walked over and got the best service imaginable. As I suspected my case was indeed weird and would've taken me ages to figure out myself. Ron worked several hours on it, completely fixed my issue and charged me the "fair price" no matter what. I would give 10 starts if I could! And I met a great neighbor as a result :-) read more

Ron was extremely kind, responsive and effective. He was able to fix our laptop hinge in just a few hours, his prices are beyond fair and his customer service was outstanding. Thank you so much Ron, we'll definitely come back next time we need to fix a computer. read more

I had only a brief encounter as my machine is done-for. That said, Ron is a stand-up guy and he knows his stuff -- worth a visit if you're need technical assistance with your computers. read more

Ron is the best independet... no make that "best of all," computer repair-person ever. I've had desk tops & laptops since the 80s so that's not an exaggeration. He is fairly priced and responds fast... 5-Stars all the way. read more

My desktop's CPU fan died and I found Ron's website, seemed like a good fit so I called and then took the PC over mid-morning. I picked it up early afternoon, timing and price were exactly as expected (and Ron cleaned up a few update issues as well). Definitely will seek him out for future home computer work. read more

So helpful in fixing my HP Laptop hinge... it's supposed to swing open to use like a tablet but the internal plastic parts snapped and the screen was separating from the back. I was afraid of the whole screen breaking. Ron was familiar with this (common) issue and had his own solution (see photo). I'm so grateful he was able to get the job done! I should have have had him do the other side too (that side is now broken too)! He was very helpful and so friendly with my two young boys too. Was able to sell me some virus protection I really needed as well. Thank you! read more

Freelance Technical - Broken Laptop hinge repaired! - IT Services & Computer Repair Near Me - San Carlos, California

Stop scrolling and HIRE RON! I recently brought in my MacBook Air that I dropped, and the screen stopped working. He diagnosed my laptop within the day and immediately ordered parts. His pricing was unbelievably reasonable and a lot less than other tech around. Throughout the whole process, Ron was kind, honest, very knowledgeable, and professional. He went above and beyond without hesitation. I cannot thank Ron enough for helping me with my laptop situation! When someone asks, do you know a guy? The answer is YES. RON IS THE ANSWER! :) Thank you again, Ron! read more

Great service! I was trying to decide whether or not to replace my sluggish, 8-year-old Lenovo laptop. In an effort to avoid adding to the landfill, I decided to hire someone to see if it could be tweaked to work faster. Ron gave me candid feedback. He make thoughtful, helpful suggestions and worked some magic to get my laptop running twice as fast as it had been. And his pricing is reasonable. I'm delighted! read more

Ron serviced my laptop in half a day. He was quickly able to diagnose the problem and offered me a couple of repair options. The cost of the diagnosis and repair was very reasonable. He works out of his home garage so no overhead. I appreciate Ron's promptness, professionalism, honesty and knowledge. I will definitely recommend him to friends in need of his service. Thanks again Ron! read more

Had a good feeling as I found Ron on Yelp while in search of a tech to install a new battery and advise on upgrades to my Macbook Pro 17". As it turned out, my intuition proved to be spot-on. Ron is a pleasant, easy-going, casual guy with fabulous computer IQ, all the skills needed to take care of one's needs, very fair pricing and efficiently-fast service. Plus, he's fabulously-fun to chat-up on any number of subjects. I give Ron my top 'o the toppermost recommendation! read more

HP laptop was giving me a message that the fan wasn't working and that I could lose data, etc. All Microsoft stores closed due to Covid so I google found Ron and he was only 3 min drive from home. At a reasonable price he was able to fix the problem saving me $ on buying a new one. He set me text updates on what he found even sending pics. I was able to pick up before he closed that day! read more

Freelance Computer Repair was recommended to me by another Computer Tech guy. Great service with decent price and speedy services. Definitely recommend this business for any future computer problems. Overall, incredible service. So nice and knowledgeable, gave it to me straight and wasn't sketchy about price or anything, and super responsive. Will definitely be going back to Ron for any tech-related issues. Way more convenient. Can't thank him enough! read more

Ron is the best. He's friendly, knowledgeable, communicates well, and is just plain interested in fixing your problems and getting you on your way. I couldn't recommend him higher. read more

When my daughter's laptop got soaked by a large glass of water and stopped working, Ron helped us out and even made time for us to drop off the laptop on the weekend. He was so kind to offer us a loaner laptop which was much needed, since the laptop that got severely damaged is the one that my daughter uses for online school, during Covid-19. Ron is very professional, and highly competent, and we will not hesitate to use his services again in the future. read more

Ron saved the day! I accidentally spilled coffee all over my laptop and it crashed. Ron was able to extract all my files, was quick, kind, and professional! We would highly recommend him! read more

Just got off the phone with Ron and he helped me out as best as he could and steered me in the right direction. I can tell he's a guy that wants to help and not steal your money! If I have any problems in the future I'll know who to call!!! 10/10 stars! read more

MacBook pro screen was cracked and I was referred to Ron by a close acquaintance. Email exchanged for a few days and brought it in. He told me how long it would take (a few hours) even though I expected it back much later. (Great turnaround/response time) Got a call the next day... The repair was fast. Solid quality customer oriented service; and a cool gentleman to boot! Definitely bring your devices over when they need repairs because Ron's the man when it comes to tech. I am definitely returning when I have any problems with tech. read more

All the reviews are accurate so I'll just add mine to the list:) If you want efficient, competent, reasonably priced service then Ron is your guy! He's been my go-to tech guy for my business computer needs and he always gets me back up and running as quickly as possible. He's simply a good person doing good work. read more

Relied on the excellent Yelp reviews to make an appointment with Ron for a loose key on my 2 year-old Lenovo laptop. Felt a sense of dread as this happened to me once before with an older Lenovo and the fix was lengthy and expensive. Within 15 min Ron had fixed my loose key issue. We had a nice chat as he accomplished the fix. Didn't even charge me! Thank you so much, Ron. Will definitely be back with any other computer issues. read more

I was given Ron's name by the webmaster of the school I work at. My mac was old but still worked. He replaced a few parts but was honest about how much I should spend based on the age of the machine. It worked for years, an excellent value! Fast forward in 2022, the machine is still working. I took it in for a "tune up" as it was running slowly. Ron installed a new battery and 128 gig drive. My 2010 Macbook Pro is like new. Again, he was honest about my buying a newer computer and the value of replacing or repairing. Ron is, first of all, honest about what is a "best value" for the money needing to be spent and an expert technician. read more

I picture Ron because he was quick to my initial email response, and his quote was reasonable. My HP laptop fan died, and he was able to order the correct fan and replace it quickly after the part arrived. I also had a new secondary drive installed. I will come here the next time my computer decides to mess up. read more

After reading all of the glowing reviews I reached out to Ron to help me fix my home built PC which would not boot. Ron was professional and communicative throughout the process and was able to quickly help me diagnose the issue. The hype is real. Thanks again. read more

5++ Review. Ron is the person with incredible technical expertise, years of authentic hands-on experience, and high integrity. He not only expertly repaired four computers in a short time but gave me an exceptionally reasonable trade-in option. I am beyond happy with my interaction with this hard-working, honest person. Thank you Ron! Oxana read more

Ron Gravatt knows his stuff! After I did the idiot move of deleting important files from my hard drive, Ron was able to save and retrieve them for me. He is very communicative, with no BS. Not only did he meet my need and solve my problem, but he educated me as well. From Ron I learned about which storage devices are no good, the importance of backup copies, and the value of solid state storage. I will recommend Ron to friends and acquaintances. read more

THE NICEST GUY EVER. Ron is very caring, kind and personable. He went above and beyond in helping me out, even with Covid going on. Can't say enough good things. My dad has been going to Ron for years, and I went for the first time yesterday. Ron was communicative and prompt in turning around my laptop. My battery had died and my speakers were shot. He ordered the parts for me and took care of everything. He is really knowledgable and comes with years of experience. He is very reasonably priced, bordering on shockingly cheap! Will be a returning customer for years to come. read more

Ron Gravatt is a skilled, honest and highly efficient IT specialist. I was sure my Windows PC boot drive was fried but Ron was able to identify the issue and got it fixed in minutes. Very fair pricing! I will definitely recommend him to friends and family that call me for help! read more

Ron has excellent service and compassion. Besides fixing my daughters hard drive, he restored a laptop for me in a difficult time during this COVID-19 pandemic and made the repair at a very, very reasonable discount realizing my hardship. He has been everything most larger repair shops aren't - responsive, available, competent, accommodating, AND compassionate. He now has a customer for life! read more

Ron replaced a dead hard drive on an older MacBook Air for us. He communicated promptly and clearly, confirmed the problem, and then took care of the fix. This all happened quickly and for a very reasonable price. Would definitely use his services again! read more

I had sentimental photos and a few documents in a dead MAC laptop that I had no idea how to retrieve and transfer to my current working computer. ( I am obviously tech challenged :-) ) I went to an apple authorized dealer who quoted me an arm and a leg. I almost decided not to follow through and just let these meaningful items go. I decided to give it one last try and called Ron who was highly recommended on Next Door (the neighborhood app). Ron was patient and kind. He charged me a fraction of what the apple authorized repair place was charging. He even spent time giving me a little tutorial on how to do some of the things I was challenged with. Ron is a very pleasant man which just topped the whole experience off. I will use his service in the future and will recommend him to others that need help. read more

Ron, completely exceeded my expectations. He updated my Dell desktop computer from Windows 7 to Windows 10. He cleaned up my desktop, moved all desktop data files to directories inside my user account, documents, pictures, etc. He also installed a new solid-state storage drive. He stood by his original flat rate charge, even though I suspect he spent more time than anticipated on my messed up computer. I highly recommend Ron, without hesitation if you need similar work done on your computer, or any computer! Brian read more

NICEST GUY ON THE PLANET! Ok, perhaps an exaggeration, but not too much. Called to find out about upgrading RAM - he helped me over the phone - said I could do it myself - walked me through all the lingo/jargon - being that I'm somewhat tech savvy - I think I might be able to do this. This is after calling another company who just told me to bring it in. Glad I called Ron! read more

Ron's an expert, straight-up, experienced computer guy. He has good, clear communication, and good prices. Rather than taking your computer to a megalithic company with poor communication you're way better off going to Ron. With him I discussed the idea of upgrading my laptop to avoid slowdowns when it's starting up, or when it's synchronizing data with the cloud. I found Ron's advice to be sound. This comes from someone (me) who had both built and run a 25-user local area network (LAN) with PCs, Macs and enterprise security like a CheckPoint Software Technologies firewall. These days I prefer to have someone else handle my computer work. The reason I talked to Ron is that a Best Buy store's service actually made my computer problem slightly worse than before I took it to them. The minor damage they caused had to be repaired. read more

When I need computer service I always call Ron. His experience and computer expertise make him the go-to-person. He provides prompt service and his charges are reasonable. Jay White read more

Ron was great! He went above and beyond to fix my very dead laptop and even gave me a student ya discount. Highly recommended!

Ron is extremely knowledgeable and a pleasure to work with. My Windows 10 "upgrade" had turned into a disaster where I couldn't even boot my machine anymore. The machine was 8 years old so it had lots and lots of data on it (including years of pictures). Ron was very clear on the options available from the potential of getting everything working again to just recovering my data files. Ron got the machine functional again in just one day and I didn't lose any of my data. I'm a very happy camper. BTW. His prices are very competitive too so besides being a really nice guy, I didn't having any sense that he was taking advantage of me when I was getting close to desperate. Lessons learned: 1. Use the external back-up drive (that I still had in the shrink wrap) to back-up all my data at least once a month. 2. Call Ron to fix things when I've run out of things I know how to do. read more

Awesome. Corrupted boot sector and partition on my hard drive, somehow some folders weren't getting backed up either. Dropped off naked drive, Ron made it readable again in 24 hrs. Was able to copy it to new hard drive using Teracopy (get it at www.codesector.com/teracopy - fantastic free tool much faster and reliable than regular Windows copy). Thanks Ron! read more
