Dustin of Moranda Minds Computer Service, provided superb customer service, was very professional, and extremely efficient and patient with all of my questions. I needed to transfer files from one computer to another, add and upgrade software, back up files, etc and he did so with a quick turn around time, with very reasonable rates and kept to his word/estimate. He explained everything, tried to save me money by offering options, never tried to up-sell, and asked me about options prior to implementing them. Would highly recommend and will return for future computer needs. Thanks so much Dustin! read more

I couldn't get my laptop to power on and they took it apart and fixed the problem on the spot. I figured I'd be down at least hours, if not days, and they had me out in 15 minutes! Very reasonable price too! Thanks Doug and Dustin for your help! read more

These folks are so ON THE CASE! I had an "accident" while on travel w/my laptop (a VIAO jewel). Doug fixed it w/in 24 hours and charged a very reasonable price. This is my second rescue experience by MMCS. The first incident was crazy virus attack overtaking my desktop computer. They cleaned it up expeditiously and were fair about pricing. I actually TRUST these folks. And, I can honestly say that when my computers are in trouble: "I have a guy!" YEAH! Prof S read more

The team at Moranda Minds is nothing short of amazing! I was having multiple problems with my laptop and finally decided to bring it in for a diagnosis. The results were not good, terminal actually, a virus had corrupted everything! So Doug backed up my hard drive, wiped it clean and reinstalled my programs. The results, my computer was as good as new (better actually)! But the team isn't just about doing amazing repairs, their customer service is top-notch and the pricing is beyond fair! read more

My PS3 got the yellow light of death. I called Moranda Minds and they had it fixed and back to me in 24 hours. Sony was going to take 2 weeks and charge me a lot of money. I highly recommend them. read more

Based on the following unhappy experience, I suggest you avoid Moranda Minds and take your business elsewhere. I like to support local businesses, so last Monday I took a new Acer laptop into Moranda for an estimate on a simple job - cleaning manufacturer-installed bloatware off the machine so that it would have a clean start page and a minimum of stuff running in the background. Moranda assured me they were completely familiar with both Acer hardware and bloatware-cleaning methods, and gave me an estimate of less than an hour's work to complete the task. Their hourly charge would be $85 - a bit high, I thought, but in the spirit of supporting a local entrepreneur, I said okay. They said they'd call when the job was done. Four days later I still hadn't heard from them , either by phone or email. When I called, someone there said they had tried to phone me to say the laptop was ready, but kept getting a busy signal. (My phone is rarely used and when it is in use, it gives me a "call waiting" signal when another call comes in so I can interrupt and intercept. I very much doubt the "tried to phone you" excuse.) When I went to pick up the laptop, the bill was not $85 but $125 - a 50% hike from the estimate for this "simple" job. When I asked why, the answer was, "It took longer." I paid it and left, vowing to take my future computer needs (I have a number of other computers that need servicing and maintenance) elsewhere. Supporting a local business shouldn't mean being subjected to rip-offs. read more

You could not find a better computer service assistance than at MMCS. They recovered and saved all my files on 3 computers and are totally service oriented. They all are focused on integrity. read more

My laptop got a nasty virus. I took it to Moranda Minds and met Dustin. He got rid of the virus and helped me with a few other issues I had with my computer. It is so nice to have found a reliable, honest IT professional. read more

Honest, fair and professional! I brought in a toasted hard drive in hopes they might be able to recover some data from it. They were honest about what may happen. Gave me prices for what they think it could be and said if they are unable to recover anything that I wouldn't be charged. Unfortunately my hard drive was too far gone but they held to their word and didn't charge me. I don't wish for computer troubles but I would like to go back to give them my business. They work on apple (mac)! read more

Dustin at Moranda Minds Computer Services really came to the rescue when my computer was acting up. He was nice enough to troubleshoot the problem over the phone without an appointment or anything.

If you want an honest IT professional, Moranda Minds Computer Services is the place to go on the Monterey Peninsula. read more

I looked at Yelp! to find computer repair and Dustin (Moranda Minds ) got 5 stars. He was very pleasant to deal with and ,though my issue turned out to be minor, he was very quick and efficient at taking care of it at a most reasonablr price .I would highly recommend him! read more

I cannot say enough about how terrific this company is. I am in a hospice situation with no means of getting around. Dustin came to my house, picked up all my old computer stuff, and set up a new laptop for me with ALL my data on it. This is one terrific company, and I heartedly recommend it. read more

Once again, extremely pleased with Justin and Moranda Minds. He "took over" my computer remotely, solved my immediate problems, and then suggested some features that could be deleted if I wanted. Really nice clean up on my HP. Love the remote assistance he provides. I can stay at home, and with us on the phone, he works magic with your computer. No hesitation in recommending him. read more

They repaired my junk email in about 12 seconds. Yes, it was fast. I have an Macbook Air; whether it was Dustin or Doug I don't know-but I was just glad it was fixed. It was convenient and I didn't have to wait-I was in and out of that store in 6 minutes.:))) read more

This review is long overdue. Yesterday I dropped off a few old hard drives to be scrubbed and disposed of at Moranda Minds. Paul was wonderfully helpful and the price so reasonable! It reminded me that they built my new PC almost a year ago and I have been meaning to review my excellent experience with that process. Can not say enough good things about Manny! He helped me figure out what I needed, transferred my data, and even came to my home to hook it up and attach my printer. Since I went from Windows XP to Windows 10, I was a little lost. Through their remote support, Manny helped me navigate through it all. He helped me with my iTunes library and basically gave me a tutorial on the new operating system. But best of all, he did all this while explaining things clearly and not making me feel like an obsolete senior citizen. I wrote my first Yelp review about Moranda Minds 5 years ago when Dustin came to my home to fix my old computer. I said then that he was a rare find-a very personable and kind computer geek. Well, somehow Dustin was able to find employees with the same qualities. Manny even remembered me yesterday when I saw him again! What a wonderful work crew you have, Dustin - and your prices are so reasonable! And on top of all that, you keep me educated and informed with your monthly newsletter. I love seeing your gorgeous baby every month in the DottieGram. Dustin, you have grown your business and your family beautifully! Thank you for providing me peace of mind knowing that you and your crew are always there with answers and the very best customer service! read more
