I can't believe I've lived in the area for 30 years and yet I had never come across Max and his little repair shop on La Cienega until now. And I'm so happy I did! Hottest summer ever in L.A. My laptop was overheating like mad rendering it unbearable to use. I ordered replacement fans and I was contemplating open up the laptop and fixing it myself but then I thought twice and decided to get a professional to handle all the screws to get to the fans. Max to the rescue! Kingly Computer is located in a non descript strip mall on La Cienega. Its easy to miss unless you know you are about to meet a handsome friendly young man who will save your ass. He's also almost obsessive when it comes to cleaning your electronics which is how he noticed that mine just needed a really good dusting to work as new again. Since I already had the new fan from the manufacturer I let Max install it regardless. He even came across and repaired another small issue with a broken port. It was clear that Max knew exactly what he was doing and he was incredibly swift doing it. I will trust him with everything computer-related from now on. Overall a very easy-peacy, and very pleasant, experience. Thanks, Max! See you again! read more

Max was amazing. Fixed my GPU fan quickly. He was quick to diagnose the problem. He walked me through everything he was doing as he repaired it. He was also extremely thorough with deep cleaning the inside of my PC Business owners rarely take this level of pride into their craft. 5 stars. 10/10. HIGHLY RECOMMEND! Don't go to Best Buy geek squad read more

Max is an absolute legend, really helpful and gives detailed explanations of what's up with your tech. Very kind and informative, cannot recommend enough! read more

Communicative, convenient, and fast. I needed a minor repair/maintenance for my gaming laptop and Max was quick to respond. We scheduled a time for me to come by, and to my surprise, he was able to do the work in less than half an hour, while I waited. Prices were clearly listed on the wall, and he gave me his price before doing any work. This seems like an honest small business & I will certainly go back if I need computer repairs in future. read more

Back in the Game! ​Needed a repair on my gaming PC, and this is the place to go! The technician quickly diagnosed it, hooked me up with a new power supply, and even gave the whole rig a thorough cleaning. ​My computer is running perfectly, and the price was extremely fair. Fast service and great value--highly recommend! read more

Max is the best computer tech in LA. Don't be deceived by its location on the second floor of a strip mall. Service is quick, friendly and knowledgeable. Most importantly, prices are beyond fair and HONEST. Forget the geek squad at best buy always trying to upsell and make you buy more than what you came for. Max is a rare breed and we're lucky to have him in our neighborhood. Thanks for everything you've done for our office. You're a gem of a person and a computer genius! read more

Initially came to get my psu replaced for a Cyberpower prebuilt. Max helped identify problems & educated me on how to do so again in the future. A week later I got my cpu cooling system replaced, because of cpu throttling issues. Max replaced my cpu fan & the 2 fans here in the picture. Very professional Thanks Max read more

This is the best Computer service in town. Max, is knowledgeable, meticulous, and friendly. He gives reasonable prices and does competent work. He's also loyal to his customers. What else could one ask for? read more

I've lived in Los Angeles for over 30 years now and found Max around 20 years ago. He is my go-to guy for anything printer or computer related. Dedicated, honest, fastidious, knowledgeable, reliable and solution oriented. Max is very good at what he does. That there is still an in-house option and his wonderful shop is still around is amazing and it also speaks volumes to who he is as a tradesperson and individual. I have sent dozens of people to Kingly Computer over the years and will continue to praise Max and his wonderful work ethic. I'm so grateful he continues to thrive all these years later. read more

Really great experience. Max was very nice, the pricing was very fair, and he took the time to explain everything to me. Even though some of the tech terminology went over my head, he was still very informative and patient throughout the whole process. I appreciated how honest and helpful he was, and my computer is working great now. Definitely recommend! read more

This was my first time using his services. I called this morning. He texted me later to give me an appointment time. One one-on-one appointments. And then he was very accommodating and I Go into details but he build a sacrifice for me to get what I needed. All in all very knowledgeable very hospitable very accommodating Yes I would definitely and will be using this service in the future read more

Max is no less than amazing. He has the determination to go to the heart of the problem and supply an effective fix. Anyone can replace a part but Max took the time to accurately diagnose the problem and rebuilt the fuser assembly of my printer. Basically, I was left with a NEW printer. The printout was flawless from a 10 yr old printer. It cost me much less than buying a new printer that might not work as well as the old one. He has my highest rating. read more

My laptop was not starting. I was really concerned. Max did his magic and fixed it. In addition he helped me with all updates and gave me really good practical advice for future maintenance of my computer. And he even cleaned the surface of the laptop, screen and keyboard. The price of the service was reasonable considering that Max worked on my computer for close to two hours. I totally recommend Max for computer services. read more

Kingly is King! He was super fast and nice! I had a trackpad issue with my Dell that he diagnosed in a minute, and offered two options to fix it - one of which was just a free workaround! He is the best. I will definitely be back. read more

Recently took my Dell laptop in after getting a quote through messaging. He's very responsive and caring regarding your computer. I was able to get my ipad repaired as well with a quick turnaround. No bullshitting. Very fair pricing. I can't recommend him enough. I won't be going anywhere else. Thanks Max! read more

He helped me match a set of Apple computers in the most professional and efficient way, and recommended the perfect products based on my need to access work data while traveling. The prices were great, and his service was professional and trustworthy. I'm truly grateful to have met Max ，he helped me overcome my fear of computers and made everything much simpler and easier to understand.Thanks Max! read more

Max went above and beyond. Repaired my bent MOBO cpu pin at a microscopic level and provided photos showing the work done. He is very thorough and I am glad I found his shop. Max will be my go to computer fix from now on. read more

This place is a hidden gem, I've been past this place many times over the years and finally went in when my PC started acting up. Max is a knowledgeable person and takes his craft seriously but doesn't make you feel dumb. They offer consulting services if you want to build your on gaming rig. Would definitely come back once ram prices stabilize. read more

This is my 4th Yelp review since the year 2016. I had to reset my password to log in, but Max is really that good. He is extremely kind, knowledgeable, professional and detail-oriented. The best there is; I'll never go anywhere else! read more

I spent two days pulling my hair out, trying to figure out what was wrong with my computer. I took it to Max and I kid you not he had diagnosed and fixed the problem in under one minute. Amazing service super nice guy would absolutely recommend.. read more

My dad and I have been going to Max at Kingly for over 10 years, and we wouldn't trust anyone else with our computers. Max is incredibly knowledgeable and can fix anything you throw at him, but what really sets him apart is his honesty and kindness. He always takes the time to explain things clearly, never overcharges, and genuinely cares about helping his customers. It's rare to find someone so skilled and trustworthy these days. Max is not just a great technician, he's a great person. If you're looking for someone reliable and honest to handle your computer needs, go to Max. You'll be glad you did. read more

Max exceeded my expectations in every way. He is friendly, kind and knows his stuff. He has a "can do" attitude and you immediately feel you are in good hands. I needed a battery replaced in my 8 year old laptop and he allowed me to sit with him while he did the job, rather than me having to leave it, which was not an option. I am a customer for life and cannot say enough good things about his service. In addition, he is in a small outdoor mall with ample parking! read more

The daunting aspect of computers is simplified when you have a professional like Max in your corner. I have been frantic because I thought my computer was commandeered by a hacker who introduced malware into my system, so in calling Max, I needed reassurance that all my important files were not lost. He, on more than one occasion, has fixed the problem remotely which brought my stress level down to a manangeable level. The last big fix he provided was put a solid state hard drive in my "all in one" computer which has made it amazingly fast and secure. You will be happy you brought your computer to Max at Kingly Computers. I'm a 15 year loyal customer! read more

Max is the man. I have a PC with a 32core (64 threads) CPU motherboard that I use for my heavy data analysis. Just upgraded pretty much everything but the CPU & Mobo. The highlight was the GPU, of which the price is just insane. But to use my new 3 4k monitor set up without comprising any quality, and to play current games in 4k, I needed to get a strong GPU. I've had some bad experiences at computer places but Max was a real professional. His recommendations before the service were right on and after the service he checked everything to make sure all worked as a unit. Things that stand out are his deep knowledge of computers and his attention to the details. I can tell he spent a good chunk of time, looking at each part, down to the screws. His craftmanship is unmatched. I'd trust him with high end computers. read more

Max is the best! He's a computer surgeon. I'm taking all my computers and phones to him for repair.

Max is the tech man !!!!! Knows his stuff and give customers respect and courtesy!!!!

My HP Spectre keyboard was suddenly not working so I came here based on reviews. Max decided to order a new keyboard and sent me home with a loaner one to use in the interim. A few days later my keyboard started working again. I consulted Max over the phone and he said that most likely since it started failing it may fail again at any time. And since my keyboard was hard to find, he thought it best I keep the new one as security rather than return it and so I'd have a backup for the future. Or he could return it and only charge me for shipping. Seemed like a good idea to keep it so when the new keyboard arrived I went to pick it up, thinking I'd grab it and go home. But Max wanted to check and see if mine had any damage inside the computer so he took it apart and checked it all out. And check it out he did. He cleaned it all off, found some issues but nothing major, and after a 30 minute inspection and cleaning he re-assembled it and gave it to me No charge for all this work! I was ready to pay him a cleaning and inspection fee but he did not even mention it. Had there been an issue he would have charged of course and traded out the keyboard, but there was no need. What a surprise. A free cleaning? Unheard of. Hard to find such good service and I feel I now have a trusted and expert computer mechanic nearby for future issues. read more

This is the only place I will ever go again for my tech needs. Can't recommend it enough. I broke my laptop screen and not only did he charge a reasonable rate but he stayed open late to make sure I had my computer before he had to leave for a trip. 10/10 read more

I will definitely be coming back to Max for any future computer service needs! I called multiple computer service businesses and I went with Max as he was more welcoming, had good pricing, and he was willing to complete the request within my desired time frame. I wanted Max to replace a liquid cooling AIO system on my pre-built Lenovo desktop. I know it can be complicated due to proprietary tools/configurations that Lenovo uses, but this was not a problem for Max. He was able to provide suggestions on which replacement product to buy and installed it perfectly! Previously my CPU was consistently hitting 90C under load. This would cause my CPU to throttle performance and as a result I could not play modern games on high settings (despite my 2080S running just fine). My CPU runs at 50C under load and I can finally play modern games on highest settings!! read more

It was time for me to upgrade my PC and I decided to go with a custom build this time around. I was scared to assemble the parts since I don't have any experience with building computers and have heard horror stories of people messing up their parts. Max is both extremely helpful and knowledgeable. He looked over all my parts to make sure they were compatible before building and assembled my dream computer. I 100% recommend him if you are looking for someone to assemble your next PC. I'll be coming back if I ever need tech solutions. Thank you! read more

Max is a top notch computer repairman and just a great person in general. He repaired my son's gaming computer and it was like new. He also gave recommendations on how to make his computer run even better. The cost was reasonable and certainly less than purchasing a brand new laptop. read more

Very helpful in resolving a laptop issue, Max was very nice to deal with and he also provided us with some help on future issues. Thanks!

Max was a godsend! Two keyyboard keys came off my laptop. Max re-attached the keys in no time. Max was kind and professional. I highly recommend Max and will return if I have computer repair needs in the future. read more

Max was extremely helpful. Helped me with what I needed. which was to download 20 years worth of photographs off of my old computer which wasn't working anymore. He explained everything carefully and also while I was there, I observed him interact with a teenage autistic boy who wanted to learn about computers and he could not have been nicer. Lovely and smart and reasonably priced read more

It's been almost two months since Max rescued my laptop from near death, as well as retrieved all my files from archival purgatory. Never has my laptop been as responsive or efficient, not even when it was new. Max was knowledgeable, thorough and resourceful, AND he had the patience of a saint. He would not give up until he had explored every possible avenue. Once he made my laptop operational, he then spent time in suggesting and setting up shortcuts and other helpful features that I didn't even think to ask him to do. Truly, Max is the only computer genie that one would need! Bless you, Max!!! Brenda M. read more

My PC notebook needed a unique repair. I used Yelp to query those who might be interested in the repair. I settled on Kingly and Max was outstanding in communicating and coming up with an affordable alternative solution which was perfect. read more

This place was really great and did a fix of my speakers on my laptop and gave it a good time up and cleaning. The owner was great and responsive but I got flustered when paying and forgot my coupon from a yelp check in since he asked for a tip. (Minus one star). Other than this he was great. Fast service too! read more
