Nicky, one of the co-owners, explained what they could do and how the whole process would work. I never wondered about it because it was so clear what they could/would and could/would not do. I left my hard drive with them and in a short time had an email explaining that they probably could recover my photos. And they did! I was so happy. The price is not cheap but it's reasonable considering what DDR is doing for you, In my case, in was bringing back 20 years of photos. (By the way, I learned to back up everything - redundancy!) I recommend this service without hesitation. They are transparent and customer-focused. If you have this happen, don't try to fix it yourself because that makes it harder for DDR to recover your stuff. Just take it in and explain what happened. They are not judgmental at all. They want to help and they really did help me.

It jammed the USB A, remote plug for my wireless mouse, into the front of the hard drive. After I picked it up the drive and tried to plug it into my computer, the drive would not mount. I thought all was lost, so I sent it over to Desert Data Recovery. I got a call the next day from a very nice woman, Kaylynn Ehlers. She explained that they would get to it after the weekend. They got back to me on Monday and explained the situation. They had taken the drive apart, and ran some tests, and said that although they could get the drive to Mount once they removed it from the case, they could not guarantee the integrity of the data. Kaylynn explained they could run a data recovery on the drive and quoted me a very reasonable price, but I opted to take the drive and try to recover the data myself since the drive could mount. I was actually successful and VERY LUCKY all data was recoverable. I really want to thank Kaylynn Ehlers over at Desert Data Recovery for her honesty and for helping me with the situation without a cost. I really trust these guys as they were honest with me and also quoted me a reasonable data recovery price. If I ever am in a situation again, where I need data recovery, I will not hesitate to give these people my business. They charge nothing upfront for an estimate with some analysis. A lot of companies do charge an up-front fee. Additionally, you don't have to send out your drive. You can drop it off locally, either in Mesa, Arizona or in Peoria. Thank you again, Kaylynn and Desert Data Recovery.

Disclaimer: Sean is in the process of moving his storefront from Tempe to Gilbert and is running a pickup/drop off service. I offered to meet him halfway as his location was around 20 minutes away and he was very grateful. I am not one to typically leave reviews, however Sean was so kind, well meaning, respectful, and gave me live updates about how the repair was going. This was the best customer service experience I have ever received in tech. The apple store quoted me at $1300 and sean completely repaired my water damaged 2017 macbook pro and was able to recover all of my data for just $400. My computer was under reasonable use conditions and slightly dirty when I gave it to him. He returned it back in sparkling condition having cleaned thoroughly the interior and exterior. He even cleaned my dusty fans even though they had nothing to do with the repair. Above and beyond service. 5 stars

He saved my skin once (Oh, about 6 or more years ago) and when I had another glitch, (two months ago) I wasn't so lucky and more extensive damage was done than he was capable of repairing. He did refer me to another organization that was able to help retrieve some information and we touched base speculating after. Bottom line, he is very fair and professional. I would never hesitate to recommend him to anyone. Thanks Tom!

So you need computer help huh? But seeing someone about computer help is like going to see a…read moredentist or a mechanic, they can tell you something's wrong or what needs to be done but do you really trust they are looking out for your interest and not theirs?! Are you worried it's gonna take ages to get in to see them?! Are you worried about making the mortgage payment AND paying for the computer repair. So if those are your concerns you should take your trust issues and not walk but RUN to go see Tom. He has been helping me out of sticky computer situations for probably a decade now - I trust him implicitly and he will not only go the extra mile but will straight up tell you when you passed the last mile and it's time to just give up. And mourn the loss - of data or documents or computer - with you. Not enough stars to rate Tom, he is one of the good guys. (And if you need a therapist for those trust issues, let me know, have a good one of those too!)

I can't remember who I talked to, but I told him what I was thinking about changing out my own failing SD hard drive on my laptop because Dell told me they no longer support the laptop. He told me Data Doctor prices, what else would go into it (e.g., getting Windows back on the computer), and that if I couldn't do it myself, Data Doctors was there for me. He didn't exactly tell me to go for it, but he definitely gave me the confidence to know I was on the right track. I was able to save myself 100s of dollars by doing it myself. So, if I ever CAN'T do it myself, I'm definitely going to Data Doctors because this experience really spoke to their integrity and the type of business they run. Thank you!!

I took my pc in knowing that my ssd was failing in some way, but wanted to get it diagnosed on what…read moreexactly I needed to get replaced (the cables, connectors, or the ssd itself) so I could have peace of mind. After paying the $59, after waiting a weekend of relief, when I called for the follow-up, I was told what I already knew. That my ssd was failing, and they couldn't test it any further. Okay, I took it in for a diagnosis, told them I knew it was the ssd that was corrupted or damaged, and then three days later they tell me the same thing that I told them to begin with... But for the repair I was told it would be $240, and that it might not even work to get my data back. I told them I don't care about getting my data back, I just wanted a new drive and a fresh install of windows. I was told it would be $140 for that. I don't understand how buying a $50 ssd and reinstalling windows would cost $140. Even if I asked them to just ditch the ssd and install windows on one of my HDD's it would be the same cost. Since the only thing they told was the same thing I told them when I walked in the store, I would desire a refund. Update: I picked up my pc and when I asked about a refund, he was rather blunt and said that I didn't know what was wrong and insinuated that I was lying. He said something similar to "you would've fixed it yourself if you knew what the problem was". I told them that the problem was the ssd with the operating system downloaded on it when I originally called and when I brought it in... and apparently I'm being gaslit... There is no reasonable explanation for a new ssd and windows installation costing $140 at the minimum. It was not a transparent price, as when I asked on the phone and in person what their rates were they said both times 'it will be a $60 fee, BUT it will go towards total cost of the repair which is the cost of parts and a small labor fee' According to them, it would be $99 for the ssd replacement and $40 for labor. A 500 gb samsung ssd (already double the storage of my original ssd) is only $53 on amazon... I am a highschool student and can only work part-time hours, which means I don't have enough money to pay for these absurd up charges, and not enough time to do the repairs myself. I don't have enough money to have $60 go to waste when that is half the money I make in a week. I had to save money to even afford the "evaluation", and I am not interested in the $240 or $140 prices. Again, like before my update, I ask for a refund because the workers were a bit rude and blunt when I told them my situation and didn't care about the situation I'm in.
