My review stands from 2009. Les just saved the day for me again last week. If you're looking for somebody who has your back, he's the guy. I made millions filming in Hollywood land and in 23 countries. I could drop a lot of names but I'll just say I shot two ZZ top videos and leave it at that. Two Emmys and a bunch of other stuff. All the heavy hitters I know would be hanging around Manco waiting for their computers so they could finish a sound track for the big boys. My Macs were the core of my work and Les, Jerry and Margie handled the whacko computerland issues. Service. Service. Service and personalities that would keep you coming back even just to visit. These cats will help you live long and prosper. 10x better than that t-shirt wearing store. read more

When you need brain surgery you want the best surgeon in town. The same is true when your computer needs brain surgery. ManCo is the ultimate Apple Emergency Hospital. I wouldn't take Mac anywhere else. Cordial, imminently knowledgable, and fairly priced. Win-Win-Win read more

The best. Knowledgeable, friendly, quick and reasonably priced. Would not take my Macs anyplace else.

They are the true magicians of Mac. So grateful I found them. Lee saved my workloads laptop and he upgraded it and got me the important software I needed desperately updated. All with such kindness and a low price too. I know in the future if anything happens to my Mac, ever, I'll be back there .Manco, is Where I should have been taking all my business computers for all these years!I Wish I'd found them sooner. Ps, they appreciate and speak music business! read more

It's the only place I trust to buy and service my family's Apple computers. They are seasoned, friendly Mac experts; honest, decent and fair. I've had only good experiences over 15 years at Manco. Can't say the same about the Apple Store or even Melrose Mac. read more

This place is a great Macintosh repair center. Les and his gang are very knowledgeable, easy to work with and they are fast and affordable. This place is an approved Macintosh Repair center. This means that your AppleCare will be honored here. I have taken my personal and work equipment here for about five years and they consistently make great, affordable repairs. As an example, last week, I had a right fan stop working on my MacBookPro . 1 month after my Apple Care expired. Ugh. I called three of the leading repair places in Los Angeles. Manco was able to do it for cheaper and faster than anyone else and they use OE parts. Most of all, I can trust them. In a world of identity theft, I have no qualms about taking my computers to Manco. Which I couldn't say about the other guys. Try them out. You'll never go to an Apple store ever again. read more

The most amazing computer place for sales and support on the planet! Les, Margie and Jerry help with everything and are always so kind! I will only buy and service Mac products here. I didn't think places existed like this anymore! It's like Mayberry! :)) read more

I've only had very good experiences here. These Mac experts have been at this same location for more than a decade with no advertising. Since they are under the radar, all of their business comes from word-of-mouth. That's how I found out about them--from students at Art Center. Once I brought a laser printer, with a very bad paper jam to them after I had called around and no one else would even look at it for less than $125. Les worked on it for about 20 minutes, fixed it, and didn't charge me (I wasn't getting anything else done). This and several other experiences with them has led me to trust them completely. Although good work on computers doesn't come cheap, it costs a lot less if you're not paying for things that aren't broke... They'll update your programs, replace your CD burner, load new programs, sell you computers and back up drives, add memory, any and everything you might need for your Mac. Jerry is great and stuck with me for hours resolving some really whacked email issues. I highly recommend the experts at Manco. As a side note, I suggest you check whomever you want to use for computer repairs with the BBB (www.bbb.org). There are some very shady computer repair places around here. Just an update (as of September 2016). Still the best. Great knowledge and service to make my Mac run as quickly as possible. Also great help on the mouse and wireless keyboard. read more

Boy, do I love these guys! My '09 MacBook pro wasn't loading. I tried and tried to get it to work. I called these guys , whom I had used before and brought it in. I was really worried when Les called and told me that It might be the hard drive and my computer may be toast. He kept it on the weekend and By Monday it was as good as new. The Fee? 75.00... Unbelievable... I am so impressed with their customer service and their knowledge of Apple products. They will be getting my business for a long long time! If you are looking for a great tech guy ... look no further! read more

Very good and professional service. I searched different companies on Yelp and happy tat found them. Easy going people and upgraded my MacBook Pro 2013 Retina, new SSD installed and loaded Siera OS. Les was very helpful and explained everything about efficient use of MacBook and gave me a lot of good tips. Service is brilliant everyone works like a team pleased to work with. Recommend everyone looking for computer service!!! read more

Les sells and services Apple products. He is a very fair, honest and competent technician. Buy your computer from him and he will provide you invaluable assistance throughout it's life, most for free. Some things like parts he of course charges fairly for. I am a Mac abuser and they have kept me running through it all. Les and the staff could not be more helpful and valuable, Go there and you will never set foot in another apple store zoo situation. Highest recommendation and Les can also recommend a good bottle of wine. read more

This is the place you want to go to buy a computer. AMAZING service, during the purchase and after. Les is totally professional and the most knowledgeable computer wiz out there. On my 3rd computer in over 22 years and the last one is fairly recent. The old ones were nursed along until I absolutely needed to upgrade. 5 stars isn't enough! read more

If you enjoy matching t-shirts, glass staircases, and shiny counters populated with young hipsters, the genius bar at the Apple store may be a better match for you. Hey, I love the Apple Store, but if you want great service at a more than fair price given by warmhearted people in a casual atmosphere, you are going to love Manco. Although I'm an avid Yelp user, this is my first review. Manco is so good that I had to get off the bench and get into the game. Forgive me in advance if I make some rookie mistakes. I'm going to do this in list form. 1. They can take care of any problem you throw at them. The big, the small, the stupid and the annoying. That in and of itself makes a trip to Manco well worth it. 2. They are honest. There have been several times that I've walked in with a problem, fully expecting to pay for the solution, and walked out with my problem solved and not a penny spent. How often have you heard of service providers charging or overcharging for unnecessary repairs and parts. That's not going to happen at Manco. 3. I love these people. Les, Margie, and Jerry are like those relatives that you actually LOVE, but never seem to see often enough. You know how you never really want to go to a family funeral, but still enjoy seeing your favorite cousin? That's how I look at computer problems now. I hate to have a broken Mac, but I love the opportunity to see my friends at Manco. 4. Manco manages to be up to date on the latest technology but still feel like a throwback. It sort of feels like you're back in Mayberry with Sheriff Andy, Aunt Bee, and Opie. You're part of the family the moment you walk in the door. 5. Where computers are concerned, there's a tendency for the experts to condescend or talk down to the poor folks with the problems. That attitude is nowhere to be found at Manco. They meet me and every customer I've ever seen at their level with no attitude. 6. I've never been in this joint without being offered a little something to eat or drink. Hospitality is alive and well and living in Glendale. I could go on and on, but I'm sure you get my point. Lastly, and least importantly, everyone is entitled to their opinion, and Yelp is and should be a forum for the free exchange of thoughts about businesses. That said, I have to say that I find the one star review from Cyrus G. offensive, and I would urge you to consider that it's the only negative review for Manco and discount it. Cyrus - I'm sure you're a nice guy, and I would really enjoy having a beer with you some time, but geez... Why use obscenities? Why criticize people for their age or for having an impairment that requires crutches? I doubt your comments reflect your capacity for compassion. I doubt that the folks at Manco would judge you as harshly for what I am hoping is youth and inexperience. I imagine that finding a less expensive solution to your problem was vexing, but having patronized this business for over a decade I'm willing to bet that a rare mistake was made rather than any attempt to take advantage of you. I'm truthfully impressed that you fixed your trackpad yourself. I'm a pretty big compute guy, and that would scare the heck out of me. You're clearly a smart and capable person. Please consider demonstrating that more clearly in your future reviews. read more

http://mancomacs.com -- I recommend Les and his Apple Certified shop "ManCo" very highly. He is infinitely better than going to the Apple Store (example below). I've used ManCo several times since my first G3 Blue & White gave me troubles in the late 90's. Les, Jerry and Margie are awesome. So, please consider them for both in-warranty and out-of-warranty repairs, as well as upgrades and other purchases (like monitors). They offer a lot of bonus services at no extra cost on a new purchase (see one of the earlier reviews here on Yelp for a good list) and are just all-around-helpful and honest. Whether you are in the Burbank or Glendale area or not, it is worth the drive to do business with them. RECENT EXAMPLE: I bought a top of the line MacBook Pro in January 2012, and 4.5 months later the main logic board failed (the main "mother board" of the system). My first impulse was to take it to the Apple Store in Glendale (what was I thinking?!). While the folks there are certainly very courteous and helpful, they have to follow a corporate dictated set of steps when performing a repair. This includes _erasing_ your hard drive and re-installing the operating system! Based on all the tests and symptoms, it was abundantly clear that there was nothing wrong with my hard drive, operating system, or some other application. All symptoms pointed to the logic board. After several days waiting on the new logic board to arrive, the folks at the Apple store would _not_ install the replacement board without first _erasing_ my hard drive and re-installing the operating system. So I declined their assistance, and then banged my head on the desk, wondering why I didn't go to Les first?! I had lost several valuable days by first going to Apple Corporate. I just got my MBP back today from Les/ManCo with all my data intact. Being that this is my work computer (graphic design and video editing), the fact that I do not have to reinstall a myriad of applications, and reconfigure everything, will save me a great deal of time and frustration, and get me back to work a whole lot faster. Thanks Les and ManCo! / read more

I went to Manco because of the fine reviews I read here on Yelp. I needed to get more RAM installed in my 4 year old MacBook so I could upgrade to Lion. I called Manco, and they had what I needed and invited me to stop by without an appointment. I've never had any computer repairs done before, so I had no idea what to expect when walking in. The staff COULDN'T have been nicer. Margie was a doll, and Les was amazing. Les installed my RAM and did some other stuff on my computer to make sure everything was in tip-top shape. The prices were beyond fair, and I was done within an hour. If you need anything done to your Apple products, I highly recommend Manco for your needs. They are an approved Apple repair shop, and they absolutely know what they're doing. read more

I'll make my review short & sweet. I thought it was all over... Well, my business that is. Les, Jerry and Margie are a Godsend. I was back to business the very next day. Their customer service went well above my expectation. THIS IS THE ONLY PLACE TO GO WHEN YOU HAVE A MAC ATTACK! Thank you, thank you & thank you again! read more

If you're looking for a one-stop shop for anything Mac related (including repairs) this is THE place to go! Les is one of the most knowledgeable computer guys I know, and best of all, you can trust his word. I've dealt with several Apple 'experts' over the years... and trust me, there's so many con artists out there, it's not even funny. The folks at Manco are honest, efficient and wonderful to deal with. I purchased my first Macbook Pro here a couple years ago, and will direct any future Mac purchases to this outstanding business. Great job, Manco! Highly recommended read more

I have been dealing with Manco for as long as I can remember. I have bought all my macs from them. I trust them 100% to set me up right. It is great to have a local repair facility. When I need something new, I call them and they set me up right. read more

This place is incredible. They did such an amazing job and I highly recommend this location. I took my computer here and gave me a reasonable price but absolutely excellent service. They are definitely the mac experts. The reviews speak for themselves. This is the place to go!!!! read more

I have been a MANCO customer since I first purchased my first Mac SE30. Having MANCO based here in Los Angeles is simply the best solution for computer hardware, software, trouble shooting and repairs. When it comes to moving forward with new computers for graphics and business solutions, I always reach out to MANCO. read more

Manco probably has more Entertainment Industry clients than William Morris, but even if you're not in the industry, they're the best. Most places will charge you just to LOOK at your problem. Not at Manco. They've been doing this for YEARS, so they really know what they're doing. And they don't up-sell at all. Even if you have old stuff, they'll make it work. read more

Les and crew have been doing this since the dawn of Apple, literally, and it shows, epic good service and things known that no one would ever know are just second nature to them, both software and hardware. It also helps that they have a stock of old hardware for parts and thereby can give and get details and favors due this and history, Manco, win. I only wish they sold stuff online but no big. read more

We've been going to Manco for years. They are #1 Honest, #2 Gurus of anything Mac. We are forever grateful for their incredible service and friendship. They take away fear and anxiety just knowing that they can resolve anything and THAT is priceless. read more

I wish I could bestow more than five (5) measly stars! MANCO is simply THE BEST! Margie and Les are always calm and reassuring. And today I got lucky - they had great coffee cake! I was ready to throw in the towel on my six-year-old MacBookPro. When I first got it, someone recommended MANCO to me, and I took it there and Les transferred contents of my PC. A few years later, I took it back for a bit of a tune-up and more memory. This time, though, it stopped working completely. I figured laptop a victim of planned obsolescence, but took it to MANCO anyway. I did not want to face the "geniuses" at the Genius Bar at my local Apple Store. Les worked his magic on it, and it's running better and FASTER than when I first got it. He always makes sure everything is set-up the way you like it, and that everything is working to your specific order. You can trust everyone at MANCO implicitly. They're down-to-earth, very responsible and will always provide the best customer service. THE BEST! read more

The BEST. Bar None. You will not find better Mac Men than Les and Jerry. Fast, honest and fun. And Margie keeps them on their toes. I do not know what I will do if Les ever decides to retire. They are irreplaceable. Thank you Les. read more

We brought our Mac Retina Display to the Apple Store because the computer wasn't charging for some reason. At Apple, they told us the issue was the circuit board and was a $300-$400 fix. We brought it in here for a second opinion and Les simply cleaned out the charging port and it was working again. Best of all, they fixed it free of charge! Everyone there was incredibly nice and helpful, and they saved us literally hundreds of dollars. Will be going back there for any issue we have in the future. read more

Thank you again Les for the new battery for my old MacBook Pro! Les has been around forever, knows computers and is so very helpful and pleasant to talk to. Oh and even though he doesn't stock the parts, he had available to me the next day! Les can save from having to buy new when you're told " you must replace, the parts aren't made anymore..." Everybody there are all wonderfully helpful! Thanks again Manco!! read more

Jerry, Margie and Les have been my Mac saviors since before the year 2000. I even called them when I lived in Panama-yes,the country not the city in FL. No one is better at what they do-care for Macs & their owners. Don't bother going anywhere else, it's a waste of time. Really... read more

These guys are the best! I'll never take my computer anywhere else. They were able to see me within minutes of me calling, and fixed my computer quickly. I'm recommending them to all of my friends. Thank you Les and Jerry! read more

I came in with two severely sick hard drives that would no longer mount to the desk top. Les worked his magic and was able to recover all of my data. I wasn't expecting such good news. I'm SO glad these guys were recommended to me. This makes my day! Thanks Les!! read more

I've had the pleasure of doing business with Les and Margie since the early 1990s. They are honest and go out of their way to provide advice and recommendations you won't find at an Apple Store. Every piece of equipment my husband and I have purchased from them has been a good value and never defective. We feel very lucky to know them and highly recommend them for all Apple computers and service. read more

Les and Margie are great. Just what the Dr. ordered when you get that pesky computer problem!

Les is great. He is very calm, clear, knowledgeable, friendly, and straight forward. He repairs Apple products and sells Apple products, too. read more

The only place to go if you have a MAC. Fabulous, helpful people and Margie makes lovely porcelain, wheel thrown, pots which are on display and for sale! I've been in such trouble many times, I was very happy to have found THEM!Beverlee Nelson read more

Such great people and such amazing service - I have been coming here for the past 15 years - they saved me in the beginning by retrieving a magazine cover story on a crashed computer, and since then have become my electronic saviors in every way possible. I go to the Apple store to look, and then to Manco to buy. Les, Margie and Jerry are terrific folks - the shop is a bit idiosyncratic with snacks to eat while you wait and an eclectic collection of magazines, but they never seem hurried and it is a always a fun hang. Their clients are equally eclectic, and include major film composers and writers. Much appreciation to this phenomenal crew. read more

i have been coming to Manco for years based on a friend's recommendation. this mom and pop type of shop has easy street parking (no meters) and the most knowledgable mac people i have ever encountered. I have had nothing less than fantastic service. My poor abused mac has been through the ringer over the years and they always seem to bring her back to life! Great honest people...wouldn't go anywhere else. I hate that they are not open during the weekend but it's the only negative i can think of! Love this place. read more

Best lil Mac shop in SoCal! I'm a long time fan of Manco. It's a small shop, staff is friendly, and they know their stuff. I'm an advanced Mac user, and I keep coming back to them in a pinch. 100% satisfied. Good rates, timely turn-around. They have resurrected many a Mac for me. I have nothing bad to say about Manco. read more

Amazing would be putting it mildly! These guys run the kind of business that reminds me why America was once the greatest country in the world: individually owned, extraordinary knowledge, friendly, family working together, the ability to think outside the box, and not out to take my last dollar. I had been to the 'genius' bar at the Mac store on four different occasions to get my iMac working properly. I won't go into the horror stories; those kids are doing the best they can. It's just that they don't have the kind of knowledge that Les and Jerry have. Here's what happened: I went to Manco thinking I was going to have to give up. Les and I talked about the problems (so many of them) I was having and then he gave me a quote and we thought I would be able to pick up my computer the next day. I'll cut to the chase here and just say that it took a week to find and then get rid of 1,440,000 finder preferences that had been replicating themselves for who knows how long! Almost a million and a half of these files! No one knows how it happened. No one had ever heard of anything like it. Anyone else (and by that I mean everyone) would have told me it was time to get a new computer but not Jerry. He said he even woke up one night with a new idea for getting the files out of there. Just amazing. Oh, yeah, and here's the part that is so much like the America I remember--when it was clear that this was a major job I told Les that he would have to give me some kind of estimate on cost (I didn't have a lot for this). He said he had quoted me a price on the first day and that's what the price would be. Astonishing! I love these guys. I wish I could do something for them. Haircuts, anyone? Ha ha. Manco is approved by Apple to service their computers and they sell new ones as well. I will never go anywhere else for anything Mac again. They even do work for people in Paris. Thanks Les and Jerry and Marjorie (Les' sister)! Thank you so much. read more

I've been taking my Macs to Manco for more than ten years. Jerry is the absolute Mac aficionado/genius. I wouldn't take my computer anywhere else. read more

It would be impossible to rate these guys higher but if there was a 10, they'd get it. I took a 2009 Macbook Pro Unibody in because I'd knocked the subwoofer cable loose trying to do a repair. Les showed me exactly what was going on, and suggested how I could fix it myself and it worked perfectly! Because he's such a knowledgeable Apple pro, he even knew how Apple had manufactured the cable seating on the logic board. He didn't charge me but I mailed him a check, anyway. You couldn't find anyone better in the Burbank/Glendale or San Fernando Valley or Los Angeles area. Go go Manco! read more
