I have worked with Travis multiple times over the past few years and found him to be great. He has been very responsive to my questions or issues and has always been able to fix whatever my computer issue might be. He has been flexible and accessible in helping me. I am not a technical guy and he also tries to explain issues and fixes needed in layman terms which I find extremely beneficial. I highly recommend Travis if you have computer issues or repair needs! read more

I cannot recommend I Hate Computers enough! After breaking my MacBook screen I was distraught. Travis quickly replaced my screen and updated my laptop. He is professional, reliable, and honest. Thank you Travis!! read more

Had my laptop go into a death loop after a failed update. Great communication, fair pricing, rapid turnaround. Highly recommend!

Travis did a great job getting my kids' two nonfunctional laptops working again. He's been in business many years for a reason. He troubleshot the problems and got them working and in only one business day in my case. Recommended. read more

Tough finding & trusting someone to fix ur computers. With so much life info on them. Travis is trustworthy , honest and I would trust him with any of my computers. read more

I read about Travis on Next Door, the very friendly owner of "I Hate Computers". His reviews were fabulous so I kept the name of his company in the back of my mind (how can you forget that name?), knowing that I would probably need him at some point. Over a year later, I hated my computer, WiFi, internet, printer & even the TV! We had so many issues by the time I called I Hate Computers...Cox had been out 4 times in 2 weeks, replaced the modem/router twice, it went on and on. I called Travis on Wednesday & he was at our front door Friday at noon, right on time. It is all up and running. Travis explained everything, was very patient with me and all my questions, thoroughly checked it all again before leaving & has us on the road to finally leaving cable TV (which we've been wanting to do for ages, just too scared to pull the trigger). My husband and I just wished we would have called him 2 weeks ago! Save yourself the time and headache and call "I Hate Computers" if you're in a bind, you'll be very happy you did! read more

Requested repair of apple macbook keyboard . He asked for picture of damage and serial number. I sent these. I never heard from him again . I was disappointed because his reviews were great . I am sure he is excellent. Good luck to all. read more

Travis is the best. He has helped us multiple times with computer issues. We wouldn't use anyone else. Helpful, patient, knowledgeable and knows his stuff. read more

Travis was great. Got everything fixed very quickly and was extremely responsive. Highly recommend!

Hello, these guys were extremely helpful and even were willing to meet during a holiday in order to help with laptop issues! Great customer service and highly skilled. read more

For this urgent repair of my rather old computer, Travis was knowledgeable, thorough and extremely competent! I was having overheating issues and zoom glitches that were shutting me down during the most inopportune moments. I was rather anxious as the down time was negatively impacting my business, but the swift turnaround and steady, even keel of Travis' disposition were far beyond what I expected. I'm completely happy with the results and HIGHLY recommend this business! read more

Travis was very kind, knowledgeable, and professional. I will absolutely return to him with any future computer problems

Travis was super responsive, extremely fast, and had everything back to me working one less than 5 hours. He definitely had a busy day as he fit me in between 3 other projects he was working on and had someone right after me pick up their work as well. I had a computer that broke on a work trip and the company I brought it to for the data recovery missed pulling the only thing I really needed off of it. I explained what I needed to find and Travis had the data pilled off of the old computer and transferred to the new one AND he had the old computer working - all within 5 hours! The guys in Vegas said it was going to take 5 days to get the old computer working. If you are looking for computer repair or any IT work, Travis is your man! read more

Called Travis on a Sunday, last minute, didn't think I'll get anyone that fast, had to have my computer installed before Monday for my new job, it was a complicated deal, tons of different elements to it, he responded right away offer to come to my place within 45min, spent about an hour, was knowledgeable, super fast, very friendly, I will recommend him in a heart beat! Thank you TRAVIS!!! read more

I learned about Travis from Yelp and am pleased so far with the results. He gave me options and estimates for repairs and explained pros and cons of each. He met me on a Saturday as soon as I needed help and repaired and returned my computer quickly. Much better experience than going through large stores. read more

Apple sent me back an old laptop that they couldn't do anything with and Eric got it working and updated with ease. He is a pleasure to work with and I already have more computer projects lined up for him to tackle. So happy to have his talent and service in my neighborhood. read more

Travis was FANTASTIC! Honest, courteous, straightforward, helpful, and didn't make me feel like I was lost when it comes to tech (although I am!). I called, he told me to come by, he had my computer in hand within 30min and I picked it up the next day! Simple large data transfer but I had some items that I had to ensure were not lost or corrupted. He handled the job like the professional that he is. read more

Computer crashed on me and tried to have it repaired back in Philly but to no avail. New battery and new ram didn't help. Came back to San Diego and called up the nearest place to me. Lucky for me, this guy knows what he's doing. I wasn't in a rush so him telling me right off the bat that he was going out of town was okay with me. As soon as he returned days later, I got the call we all want to hear... I get her back up and running. Honest, affordable and no funny business. You are now 'my guy' when it comes to fixing computers. Thank you. read more

Travis was great and responded in less than an hour. I was totally hacked last week and could get no emails from either hotmail or outlook. He found all the hackers and how they were deferring all me emails to a conversation and then responding to them and marking them as read. I am so glad I contacted him because I had not idea how serious it was. Travis was a life saver and I would highly recommend him read more

Travis is great and made my new computer setup and transfer super stress free and easy-

This was by far the best experience I've had w anything related to tech. I've done the Geek Squad thing. Lame and upsell for everything. Don't do it. My very old lap top hit a snag and Travis was totally honest, texted me updates and was awesome. Did not try to sell me anything additional just completely took care of business. I will def go back and I told all my friends. He's the best. Funky location (behind a sports complex) but get there if you need help! read more

Travis is the best! With the craziness of me online teaching and our 3 kids doing online learning, he has made our WiFi seamless! No more glitchiness and no more dropping out of Google Meets. Life is good! read more

To start, I had tried to put together a gaming computer for the first time in my life. Well things didn't go as planned and got overwhelmed by all the cables and parts that could easily be damaged if I did it wrong. I quit and called I hate computers for help. I got a fast response quote to put together my new computer. For all the work he had to do I felt the price was reasonable. The turn around time was great! I was very happy to pick it up in a few days as promised. Everything has been working fine and have had no problems at all with the system. I have future computer work planned and plan on using this service again. read more

We all hate computers, so you should hire someone who loves to work on them! Needed some work done on a laptop and brought it out to Travis and he got what I needed done in no time! Travis is fast and efficient and a great communicator. Don't have your computer frustrations continue by searching for another repairman - Travis is your guy! read more

I had some internet connection issues with my LG 70 inch TV. Spent 6 hours with AT&T here and 2 hours with LG on the telephone. Calling someone to repair a TV is not something I am used to anymore, but I called Travis based on previous reviews. I had several options from buying a new $1800 TV, having someone else who was going to charge over $500 or not being able to stream Netflix, Prime etc on this TV at all. Travis came out on time, diagnosed the problem and recommended a fix that cost far less than the other options. He is a true professional and knows his business. If you need computer or TV repair. call him immediately and do not concern yourself with other options. read more

Was having a problem with our desktop not powering up. I dropped it off to Travis and within a day he told me what the problem was. It was still under warranty so Dell sent someone out to fix it. I would definitely recommend and call Travis the next time I have a problem; he was responsive and quickly diagnosed the issue. read more

SO GOOD. They just saved me $1500-$2000! :))) Seriously wondering WHY the heck I ever went to the Apple Store to get my MacBook Pro fixed before. I wish I found these guys months ago. Travis. Is. AWESOME. Super responsive, knowledgeable, and so patient with his explanations to a non-techie. He made sure I understood everything that was happening with my laptop, and what could use an upgrade but still be really affordable. His recommendations saved me from having to invest in a new laptop, which is what the Apple guys and even some of my techie pals kept telling me to do. The upgrade alone that Travis gave my 2012 MacBook Pro would have cost me 3x more at The Genius Bar when I checked. Not to mention that it took less than 24 hours for the turn around from drop off to pick up -- it would have been about a week wait at the Apple Store. My laptop now runs FASTER than when I first got it new. Honestly, don't bother going anywhere else -- they're literally 3 minutes from my house but I'd drive across San Diego for this kind of customer experience. Worth every penny! read more

My Dell laptop was locking up because I was out of hard drive space. I called Travis and he was able to give me tips to keep working and ordered a drive with 3x the space for next day delivery. I brought him the computer after my work day and got it the next morning. He understood how critical it was to have my computer and made the downtime as little as possible. He is a nice guy that seems very honest and I was happy with the price I had to pay. Definitely a shop I would use again. read more

My computer would not turn on and he quickly diagnosed the problem and had my computer up and running for a fair price. Great experience, will use again if needed. read more

Fixed a corrupted flashdrive for me. Was quick and friendly and saved valuable company spreadsheets. Thank you so much!

Travis is the man! My work PC had completely failed and ended up needing a new hard drive. Travis got everything up in running in less than a day at an unbeatable price. I highly recommend and he is now my go to for all future computer work! Very happy customer! read more

Travis was very helpful over the phone and upfront and honest with his price quote. He also was willing to wait for me at the store before he had to leave for another appointment. Very accommodating. read more

Travis is an excellent communicator and was very patient in addressing the questions I had as he repaired my computer. He did the work in a very timely fashion and was beyond flexible with the pick up and drop off. I highly recommend using them for your repair needs. I personally feel relieved that he has corrected the mistakes I made in my attempt to build my first computer. Lastly, the work itself was very reasonably priced. read more

I started working from home about a year and a half ago and have always dreaded the possibility of needing a computer tech to make a house call, but this time I was stuck and needed help asap. I found 'I Hate Computers' through an online search. I like the fact that this is local company in my town with a brick & mortar location, and they have a lot of 5 star reviews. I called and left a message, got a response in about an hour and the house call appointment was a couple hours after. Travis arrived on time, was professional and friendly and I felt comfortable having him in my home. He isolated the issue, did some diagnostics and I was back to work in about a half hour. I will definitely use the folks at 'I Hate Computers' if I experience issues in the future. read more

Omg! Travis who is the owner of this company was amazing! He was extremely knowledgeable, professional, experienced and had the patience of a saint! I called and he immediately called me back, set up a time within a couple of hours. He fixed my computer problem by creating a new method of using the scanner. Best of all, his prices were very reasonable. If you have any computer/printer/scanner issues I very highly recommend that you use Travis at "I Hate Computers"! If I could have given him 10 stars I would have! read more

Travis was very knowledgeable and gave me the down low on exactly what was going on with my MacBook Pro and the options I had are going about fixing it. Very transparent and customer experience focused. I'll definitely hit him up next time I need help with my electronics. read more

A speaker on my Lenovo laptop went bad - I used Travis based on other reviews and was very pleased with my experience - he was easy to coordinate with and turnaround on the repair was quick. read more

Sigh.... I came to a moment of despair and hopelessness when my laptop did not start. It contained all of my priceless images and school work as well as all of the valuable music I have purchased. I thought there was no hope because this computer was over seven years old. I was referred to I Hate Computers. They helped me regain my composure by reassuring me that everything was going to be okay. They advised and educated me on the various options I had, and led me in the right direction. I Hate Computers was able to retrieve ALL of my lost data. After one meeting with them, I now am totally in love with my computer. I now go to them for all of my computer needs because of their personal service and reasonable pricing. read more

I called I Hate Computers to repair an issue with our wireless router for our house. My wife's IT department (she works from home) decided to reset the router to troubleshoot an issue, and we lacked the technical know how/desire to reformat the router. Travis answered the phone at 7:30 and agreed to come to my house at 10:15. Unbeknownst to me, my wife had already left the house, so there was no one there to meet him. I called him and asked him to come back at 6:00 and he agreed. He was prompt and efficient and had our system up and running in no time. Travis was very professional, and reassured me regarding my lack of know how. I will use him again for sure. read more

I accidentally set a magnetic stud finder on my old laptop and fried the motherboard(yeah i know, im a dummy). Travis was so knowledgeable and easy to understand, he diagnosed that the computer was long gone and had a perfect replacement laptop that i could purchase from him. It was great because he wasnt pushy and let me take a day on whether i wanted to purchase the new laptop. So i got the new laptop with a smooth a transaction and i learned a few things in the process. Travis was so awesome and helpful and i definitely recommend him for any computer problem. read more
