Dan is our computer-repair hero. I was convinced that my friend's computer was infected with a fearsome virus, but to Dan it was something less terrifying, something that he expected to repair with a simple phone call. (And just for starters, how wonderful is that?) Just at the verge of completion, the computer suddenly presented a series of extremely stubborn issues-- but they were no match for Dan's expertise and patience. The issues became so complicated that the phone call had to be supplemented with a house call-- and by the end of that brief visit, the computer was working smoothly again AND its operating system was fully updated and streamlined. Between the complexity and the happy resolution, Dan was working with a couple of anxious 70-plus-year-olds-- who were extremely grateful for his always-calm demeanor and genuine kindness. Also: he was prompt and helpful in his phone communications and his fees were very reasonable. Our only regret was that we hadn't contacted him much sooner. If your computer has any issues, we recommend that you call on Keating Technical Consulting right away. read more

Dan has always been very quick to respond. Today he helped solve our networking issues. We switched from Comcast to AT&T and of course AT&T didn't set us up correctly so he came over within a few hours and got us all set up and also fixed our printer connectivity.. read more

I needed to remove an HDD password from a Lenovo laptop which my ex-neighbor gave me years ago. He doesn't remember the password because it's an old laptop but it wasn't worth chucking away because it seems like a usable computer. Keating said the Hard Disk Drive password is encrypted and he could get rid of it and do a clean installation of Windows 10. What I like about his workmanship is if there's an issue he'll immediately text message me. On September 25, he texted me the PC wasn't responding to a Windows Update and he would try one last fix to make it run more reliably. Now, this old laptop is working in tip-top shape. It starts well, and immediately goes to Windows. He was very reasonable as it was only sixty bucks. read more

Had a problem with my computer, could not fix it myself, he solved the problem within a day, went over there and picked up my computer, worked great, problem solved! Happy, and nice person as well. read more

Daniel was quick to respond to my quote request and very friendly and helpful in resolving my issue (accessing photos on an external hard drive) Very appreciative and will be back for any other computing issues! read more

Took the computer in to update the RAM and harddrive at 1:30pm. Computer was completed by 7:00pm AND...he added some extras to make my life easy. Whadda guy!!! My computer now runs like a hot knife on a stick of buttah. read more

Dan is the best tech-consultant! He is personable and professional. He takes care of not just our office needs but is the go-to person for most of our staff's personal technical issues. All of the reviews don't lie. I have worked with him for the past two years and never had any complaints. Many of our staff have recommended him to friends and family. Make sure that you tell him it was I who endorsed him. read more

I will start by summarizing that Dan is everything that all the positive reviews say his is. I heartily recommend his computer consulting and repair services. I have two very positive experiences with Dan. Two years ago, my PC's hard drive failed and the system partition was corrupted. Dan was able to retrieve all my programs and data, and put them on a new HD. He also installed a second HD and set up a regular backup for me. The cost was very reasonable. Last week, I discovered my system clock was running very slow and my backup S: drive was full. I called Dan and he walked me through on the phone to free up space on the S: drive. He thought that the slow clock was due to the battery running low and asked if I wanted to replace the battery myself. I knew better (my computer skills are far behind me), and took my PC to him. Sure enough, he replaced my battery but also changed the BIOS bootup configuration to restore my PC to full health. Cost was again very reasonable. What impresses me most about Dan besides his excellent problem solving skills is that he is an honest person with strong integrity. Someone special indeed! read more

It was a blessing in disguise , when our computers, printers ,and internet decided to not work this morning! I was super stressed and did everything i knew to do before I had no choice but to call an IT tech . I was not looking forward to yet again having to search for IT service , because the previous two people I ended up contacting months ago were a disappointment. I searched on Yelp , and my first call was to Keating tech and I am so very happy that it was ! Dan answered right away , and I was able to explain to him what problems we were experiencing and he made the time to come in the same afternoon. He showed up on time as promised and was able to fix the problems right away . He was fast, honest and genuinely nice! Dan's got good vibes only ! Even though our morning started so offline...Dan was able to get us back online in a snap ! Our office is excited that we now have a talented, reliable, and affordable IT expert to work with. Thanks so much Keating Tech ! read more

I sent my msg to several businesses thru Yelp & received a very wide range of responses, from "we don't do that", to "just buy a new computer"! Daniel responded positively, fixed my Chrome pc & the price was very reasonable. In addition, he is a very nice man & seems to enjoy his work. I recommend that you check with him when you have computers problems. I know I will! read more

You found him! Dan is one of the finest people you'll ever meet. I recommend him with no hesitation whatsoever.

I spilled coffee on my laptop keyboard and my keys became sticky. I tried to fix some of the keys myself but I broke some of the latches so wanted to replace the whole keyboard. I called several places and they were way over charging me compare to Dan's prices. He ordered a replacement keyboard for me and only charged me $60 (parts and labor) Others were charging me $200+. Dan was super professional, knowledgeable and friendly. After he fixed my keyboard he made sure it worked before I left. A few days later I realized the keyboard he purchased want the exact same. No big deal but it was bothering me so I decided to buy another keyboard and when I asked him how much he would charge he generously offered to replace it for free. I hope I don't need his services but if I do, I'm definitely contacting Dan. I highly recommend his services and appreciate his customer service! read more

If I could give ten stars, I would. Great and honest person. I originally called and asked about a quote for a broken dell screen. I told Dan that Keating Technical prices were way lower than other competitors around the area. Dan ordered the screen for my laptop right away. During this process, the part that came wasn't right, and to my knowledge, the correct part was a little more expensive. Instead of charging me extra, Dan honored his original quote. I sit typing on the laptop now. Maybe it's just me but the screen looks better now than it ever did before. Kudos! This is a trustworthy business :) read more

My son dropped my laptop and it crashed. I wasn't able to get back in, and I didn't know what to do. I was hesitant to get it fix because I didn't want to pay $200 to $300 dollars getting it fixed. However, I love yelp, and I trust my folks: you! I noticed Dan was a 5 star guy so I messaged him. He messaged me back in 15 minutes and said I can drop off my laptop that evening. He said that my hard drive might be gone but will check it out. The next day it was ready and he saved my hard drive!! Which was a blessing, because I had my mom's funeral photos on there. Reasonable, fast, and honest. What more do you want? If you need an IT problem fixed, give this nice guy a call, you will be glad you did!! read more

Recovered data from my old laptop that finally crashed. Fraction of the cost of what others wanted.

I have been using Dan for the last 8 years for all my computer needs. Occasionally you come across people who are better than most at their craft. Also occasionally, you come across genuinely good people. Rarely do you find both; Dan is both. He has always provided top notch services at a reasonable rate and works with honesty and integrity. If you're overwhelmed (which you probably are if you're searching for a computer tech) go no further. Dan is your guy. read more

My laptop started repeatedly crashing on Friday evening and I became anxious because I really needed it to work from home on Tuesday. I started searching through Yelp and found Dan along with his awesome reviews so I decided to request a quote. After I described my issue to him he offered some troubleshooting options, I had no luck so we agreed that I bring it in the next day. I brought it in Saturday afternoon and by that evening he sent me a photo of my laptop up & running! Dan is a very nice guy and knows what he's doing, I'm very thankful he was able to quickly repair my laptop and recover my files. I would definitely recommend him to anyone and everyone! He was also very quick and clear when responding which I appreciated. read more

Daniel is truly an amazing guy. He not only responds promptly to his customers needs, he offers accurate troubleshooting tips. I had trouble logging into my PC's Windows 7 and he responded back to my inquiry super fast while giving me his troubleshooting tip. Within minutes I was able to access my Windows 7 smoothly. Daniel did this for NO Charge. Thank you Daniel, you are truly an exceptional IT Troubleshooting tech and have awesome customer service and business practice. I will be sure to recommend you to all of my family and friends from this pleasant experience. read more

Dan saved the day once again! My poor old Acer decided to go out with a bang. Well, more of a meltdown, actually. The GF woke up 2:30 a.m. to a nasty, strange smell and opened the bedroom windows. Turns out, a memory card slot in the front of the PC caused a nice little fire inside the PC, melting components on the motherboard. I sent a frantic text to Dan, who asked that I bring it by the next day. He got a whiff of the PC, which was still exuding the nasty odor, and told me it was ozone. He took one look inside the PC and said, "That is not good." The hard drive was undamaged, whew, and he told me that he would remove it and put it into a case with a USB cable that I could hook up to the new PC to transfer files. But he also gave excellent advice on making a PC purchase. I was going to the nearest big box electronics store and spend enough money to get a good quality PC. Dan suggested that I check out Overstock's selection. I hadn't even thought of that. He also suggested looking at a refurbished business-class computer. I was apprehensive at first, but after Dan told me more about the nature of business-class machines, I pulled the trigger. I wound up purchasing an HP Z600 with basically twice the computing power and performance of a regular home-based PC for the same cost. It's been about two months, and I am a happy camper. read more

A+ experience! Call ahead- Dan works out of his apartment but no worries. He is professional and leaves the door facing the courtyard open so as a young lady I felt comfortable. We came by to get my cousin's computer looked at before she left the country the next morning. In her travels the screen had shorted, became discolored, and began to flicker. We knew it was short notice but Dan was confident he knew the problem and could get it fixed for $80 that day. Sure enough, we got a call that evening and came by to pick it up. The screen was as good as new! Not only that but he said the work came to $60. It is very rare that we are ever charged less than an estimate so we gave him the $80 for his outstanding service and last minute attention. He will be my first call for any computer needs in the future! read more

Dan was so kind and helpful. After time spent both at the Apple Genius Bar and Fry's Electronics, I came to Dan with the hard drive from my MacBook. He was hopeful that he'd be able to get it spinning, and when he couldn't he knew exactly the right lab for me to send it to. His advice was completely worth the drive into Midtown (from EDH). True, Dan couldn't save my hard drive, but he explained what they will need to do at the lab, and honestly I never would have known how to go about finding a lab without his advice. I'm really grateful for his time and help. FYI-- Dan works out of his apartment. Ladies, no worries, he's a total professional, kept the door open and his busy apartment complex had lots of neighbors chatting around, out and about. read more

I knocked unannounced (out of panic) to have my laptop fixed because I had the blue screen of death. Dan was very accommodating and welcomed me to check on my laptop. He was very straightforward and told me what needs to be done and how much it's going to cost. The communication was superb! I am also happy that he had the parts available so I didn't have to deal with getting it on my own. He even went above and beyond in cleaning my laptop and it looked brand new when I picked it up. I am happy that he helped me make sure that pics of my babies won't be lost Highly recommended. Don't go looking anywhere else. No matter where you live, it's worth the trip. THANK YOU DAN! read more

My power supply fan broke and need replacing. Every where I called tried to rip me off at prices over 80$ not including parts. Dan was the only one who gave me a reasonable price for such a small job (20$). After buy the part at Frys myself he replaced it in under 10 minutes. I recommend anyone who has something wrong with their PC to only call Dan. read more

I haven't even met Daniel yet, but he seems to have wonderful customer service! Like Linda M., I kept getting all sorts of "I don't provide this service" responses from various Yelp computer repair businesses. Daniel was the only one to respond positively. He even offered me some troubleshooting ideas, that I just found in my spam folder. I will try them when I get home. If they don't work, I will definitely bring him my laptop to fix. read more

Totally awesome! I emailed him and within an hour he called me back. I told him my laptop got fried due to the thunderstorm power surge the other day. I told him I work in Roseville and I'd have to come downtown later in the evening. Well, my 3yr old daughter had other ideas, so I called him back and told him I'd drive downtown tomorrow. He stayed on the phone with me for 20 minutes and troubleshooted the problem with my Dell over the phone! No charge! VOILA! Working laptop! Dan is THE MAN! read more

I called Dan because my HP pavilion powered itself off one day with no warning and would not reboot no matter what I did. He gave me advice over the phone on how to HARD reset it, which fixed the problem for me. So at the end of the day even though Dan didn't actually need to work on my PC, the fact that he was willing to provide a consultation and give customer service/advice that he could very well have charged for (and other repair shops would have charged for), I am sold on his 5 star service. Call him first if your PC conks out.. he knows what he's doing! read more

Dan is a very honest person, which I hadn't experienced before when dealing with my laptop. I bought my laptop from Frye's, I bought the warranty also. This was a terrible decision I realize and I wish I knew Dan then... With my recent problem I got to take it to Dan though. He gets busy, so it took a little longer for him to get to it. He was able to fix my problem in an affordable way and used his judgement to recommend the best alternative. I will eventually need a new laptop but Dan gave me some great pointers and got my stuff running again! Not only can I use my laptop again, he also cleaned up all the malware and got my programs running efficiently which was a really nice touch to go above and beyond. read more

Many pro's. Let me start with Dan's prices. Dan has the best prices around,hands down.There is just no competition with pricing.He does not charge a diagnostic fee,on top of $85+ an hour for labor,not including the cost of the parts. Pros beyond cost. Dan is VERY knowledgeable.He really knows his stuff.He is excellent. Dan's given me free advice over the phone,that 2 companies tried to charge me for. The 2 places I called both said I needed to bring my computer in,and they would have to perform a diagnostic test.This was by no means a crisis.I am not trying to be cheap,but I couldn't understand why anyone would need to run a diagnostic test,based on nature of the problem. I don't know why I did not think to call Dan first. Dan told me over the phone,what he suspected the problem was,.... and he was absolutely correct.The problem was fixed for under $10.JaJa. Fixed by a compressed air spray cleaner in a can. I make sure to keep those dust cleaners around the house now.JaJa Over a year later,no issues. Yeah,some companies wanted me to bring the computer in, and charge me to diagnose the problem.A problem resolved by an air spray can.JaJa That is how well Dan treats his customer's. Dan actually remembered that we have a cat and a dog.I never thought to mention that. It was that simple.It's one of those things that I thought I should have known. Dan really knows his stuff,he is trustworthy,reliable,and his prices are unbeatable. If you still want to call around, be sure to ask if, and how much they charge just for a diagnostic fee.Dan does NOT charge one. Ask them how much they charge they for labor,per hour.Ask for an estimate ,if they can give you one.You will probably have to pay that diagnostic fee just to get the cost of labor and parts. Dan's costs are lower.He can get a new part that is perfect or he can get one that is nearly perfect,but may have a tiny,practically unnoticeable imperfection and save you even more. Say your screen needs to be replaced.Which can be costly. If it is going to save me anywhere from a minimum of $200 to $300,... or more, because one tiny pixel is off,.....NO PROBLEM. Note. Dan will also give a warranty/gaurantee on his work too,and at no additional cost. Just ask him. read more

Dan is very knowledgeable and knew the type of problems on my laptop and desktop computer (both had issues). He was very busy, but managed to get our laptop back to us pronto to have. I would use him again without hesitation. read more

I dropped my laptop and as a college student, this is the worst thing that could ever happen to you.... Very distraught, I frantically looked around for someone who could help me. I found Dan who offered the cheapest price out of everyone I consulted with He's a really sweet man. I'm not technology savvy, but I never once felt like he was taking advantage of my lack of knowledge and overcharging me He helped me look up prices of a screen replacement. I ended up just buying a cheaper laptop, but still was very satisfied with Dan's time that I was willing to pay the labor fee. I was also able to use a loaner while he looked into the matter. That was very kind of him. Should I ever need his services, I'll definitely come back to him read more

great service, it was quick and cheap! I met him outside his apartment gave him my laptop and within an hour he was done! easy to fix with no hassle : ) read more

Though I hate having to need a laptop repair guy, I love having Daniel in my contacts for quality and affordable services. I'm a repeat customer, though no fault of his own, since he cannot puppy proof the laptop to prevent my dogs knocking it to the ground and cracking the screen. Both times my laptop screen has broken, he's emailed me the link to purchase the part online, let me ship it directly to him, answered every email I sent him during the process (with both professional style and personal warmth), and fixed the screen the day the part arrived. His prices are always reasonable- to the point that my geek friends (who luckily live across the country and are not available to rip me off) admitted that they'd have charged me more than Daniel, just because they could! Whenever I have worked with Daniel, I'm always touched by how sincerely he listens to my problems and with how friendly and welcoming he is. He really treats his customers like people, not pocketbooks. He's so nice, you feel like you're a special customer to him, until you come read all the reviews on YELP and see that he's just that nice to everyone! As much as I truly hope to not have another laptop accident and need Daniel's services ever again, I won't hesitate to contact him if (and when) the next laptop disaster happens. I recommend him with the highest confidence that you'll be pleased with his services. read more

I called to have a tech come out to our office to scan a hard drive for malware that affected one of our office computers. Dan was able to help us over the telephone and didn't even charge us. He was very helpful fast, and patient. We will definitely turn to him if we ever have a computer repair again! read more

I agreed with every post here about Dan, he is the nicest, honest, and most professional person I have met. If you looking for some one you can trust and count on, look no more. I highly recommended Dan. He is really supportive and will be there for you and with you until your problem is solved, and always try to look for solution to solved your problem. My custom gaming computer has encounter a weird problems that make it freezes every 2 3 seconds. Brought it to Dan and when I bring it back it still have some twitch. He said to bring it back until we find what the problem were. He trusted me to lend me his equipment and really informative and really good at explaining things. After the first few times tried now we fixed it and it was related to power problems. For the whole time working with dan, he shown to be a really capable person and really know his stuff. He always answer fast of every question you have and always be as fast as he can. Dan is the only person who I can trust with my computer and totally come back again if I ever need help with my computer. read more

Daniel fixed my computer issue on a Sunday afternoon when I had to work remotely Monday morning. He was quick, professional, and extremely knowledgeable. His rates are more than reasonable. I would have missed work the next day if it weren't for him. Definitely will go to him with any future problems. read more

Yup Dan is as good as the reviews make him out to be. My 4 year old Dell XPS 630 had been circling the drain for a while; combination of neglect, window's vista, old hardware, and some trips to darker corners of the internet. It finally gave up the ghost after a protracted illness and became inoperable...along with a lot of data, some valuable and some not so much. Or so I thought. I fooled around with trying to play techie guy and only succeeded in wasting most of a morning. So I looked up and found Dan. I called him up and he responded right away. Walked the computer over to him. 4-5 days later he called me up to say that he had it up and running again. He was also able to restore much of what I had assumed was lost data! The computer is running like a dream now, never thought I'd be working this fast on this old desktop again. Wow! Dan is a wizard, and a nice guy to boot. Don't go anywhere else for your computer salvage needs! Cannot recommend highly enough. read more

Dan is simply amazing. He is also super happy to help, and his rates are extremely reasonable. He tried to fixed a crashed external network drive, and tried for a long time. When he couldn't, he recommended several places that had clean rooms to recover the data. He also installed an internal HD for me, quickly and not expensively. I would recommend Dan for any computer related issues. read more

First class. Accountable, accurate , affordable and even when busy , patiently answered my questions . Open to non profit collaboration and corporate service contracts . My guess is that Keating will grow quickly to a top staffed IT resource in midtown . read more

1. Good Pricing 2. Straight forward Honesty 3. Great Customer service 4. Availability throughout the day and evening 5. Helpfulness and explanations If those are all qualities you want for computer repair, better go to this guy and not waste your time on anywhere else. read more
