I am admittedly not well versed, but how to go about finding someone on such short notice? I spoke to Mr. Ricardo who helped triage my situation and advise what the best course of action was. He was extremely professional, thoughtful and knowledgeable. Most times folks who seek help are in dire straits to begin with. The superb customer service, excellent value for price paid and lightning fast response time makes this business a GO-TO for your electronic needs. To be greeted with such empathy and care is what earned Mr. Ricardo and Santa Barbara Computer Repair PC Tech one of the easiest five star ratings I've given this year.

He picked up the phone even though it was after operating hours and had availability first thing the following morning. He repaired it within an hour and it wasn't overpriced at all.

I caution people to not bring their computers to Shain. I'll add the caveat that we got our…read morecomputer repaired about three years ago, but I feel I should warn people if he's still doing to people what he did to us. We had a broken computer screen on a Lenovo Yoga 910. I brought it in and Shain said he could fix it. Everything was fine but he did ask me if he could have the login info to set things up with the new screen. This was the first warning sign I should have heeded. He completed the repair and it worked. Here's where the part comes in that shows the lack of integrity and respect for people's privacy he has. We noticed he was logged in on to one of my wife's accounts she didn't use. We dug in further to discover he had left 5 star reviews for himself on Google, Yelp, and anything else he could log into. I couldn't believe it and that's the reason he wanted our password. NEVER give him a password to your computer account Finally, the repairs were conducted in a sloppy way, which left parts hanging off the screen. Additionally, the screen was installed proud and the computer couldn't fully close. I sure hope he's not doing this anymore, and I caution anyone against having their privacy invaded.

I should be able to buy a power supply for my laptop no problem, right? Unfortunately, I quickly found out my laptop wasn't compatible with the universal 90-watt power supply at OfficeMax. My laptop took a whopping 240-watt power supply. I called the local Best Buy and had no luck. Since it was a specialty cord, I decided I needed consultation from local tech shops hoping maybe they had something laying around they could sell to me. Problem was it was a Sunday afternoon on a holiday weekend. I must've called a dozen computer repair tech shop before I finally reached Matt at Super PC. Matt was surprised to hear my laptop needed such a large power supply, he asked for my laptop specs to verify it took 240-watt himself. He was super knowledgeable and empathetic to my situation. He asked for my number and told me he'll check around. As promised, he called me and said he found my cord at a store south of his location in Goleta. He even offered to ride his motorcycle to pick up the cord and deliver to the wedding for a great rate. Wow! I've never experienced such excellent customer service than what Matt provided. Seriously, my hero that weekend! Thank you, Matt! Highly recommended!

He had a lot of trouble keeping track of my wiring and ended up trying to give me my computer back without the fan lights working. Let me be clear - I brought the computer to him with the side plate off, he saw firsthand what needed to be done right from the onset. In the end, I realized he was doing all this wiring work without consulting the motherboard manual.. Like basically guessing? I don't know what he was thinking but the way he was working was very inefficient. At a surprisingly high $75/hour higher skill level was anticipated. He then asked me to supply him with the motherboard name, claiming there was just no way for him to figure this out on his own.... Have you ever heard of Device Manager? I guess not.. Which is stunning. Even my computer illiterate parents know what Device Manager is. All in all I got my computer back in almost the condition I gave it to him in.. He refused to reattach the wire comb I had for my motherboard / CPU power so I will unfortunately have to re-open that side of my rig and reinstall that at some point. The cost for all this nonsense and ineptitude? A little over $200. To install an $80 HDD. He wanted to charge me a lot more, almost double that.. So I guess you could say I got a good deal? I don't feel like I did. I give two stars only because in the end he almost put my PC back together correctly. But I really would have rather avoided the literal *arguments* that got me to that point. I had to fight for my rights as a customer. Not fun. This man sucks, like I said, he should've retired around the time Windows Vista came out. He might be good if you're having issues with a PC running Windows 3.1 or '98. I would recommend you *not* contact this guy. Save yourself the headache and avoid the highway robbery.
