I called last Friday to get a technician to come out today, Monday, to activate my ethernet port…read morehere at home. I had a 1:30 pm appointment. I figure things happen and take time so I didn't call until 2:30 pm or so to check on where the technician was. I was told that my job had "not been added to the schedule" but they would see when a tech could be there. I was then told 3:45-4:00pm. No one arrived. I called at 4:15 pm and was told they were 25 minutes away. I called at 5:01 and the voicemail said the office was CLOSED and here it is 5:15 and no one EVER ARRIVED. I realize compared to other jobs this company has, my job was small and not worth a lot of money. However, the measure of a great business is to treat small customers as well as your big customers. If you don't show up when scheduled, fail to add a job to your schedule, and keep lying to your customer about the arrival time of your tech who NEVER shows up at all...why would I trust this company with my larger corporate work? How you treat people matters, whether the job is big or small. This was unacceptable today and I did not appreciate that I had to keep calling YOUR business to find out what was going on, what happened to the tech, etc. Why aren't YOUR people communicating with customers? Why didn't anyone apologize? Why didn't anyone call before close of business to say, "Hey, we're not coming!" I was extremely unhappy because no one cared that I had taken time off work to meet the tech and no one cared enough to even CALL me and let me know what was going on. You guys dropped the ball big time here and were incredibly thoughtless and rude. Update: They just arrived at 5:36 pm. The techs themselves were GREAT and were able to do the work and complete the job. However, I wanted someone to know about the lack of transparency and communication today as it was very upsetting to me. The quality of work and the people you hired to do the actual technical job were terrific, knowledgeable and qualified. I realized it was not THEIR fault today, but I think it's important for people to know about the communication problems. I updated my review from 1 star to 3 because of the actual techs and their skills.

I also asked about missing bolts for my PC case and they actually took the time to look for some at the store for me. Most places wouldn't bother. Pricing was fair: paid a diagnostic fee to find the problem, then $130 to fix everything. Other shops quoted me way higher just to look at it. No upselling, just honest work. Highly recommend if you're in HB. I'll definitely be back for any computer issues.

These guys are awesome! I shopped around a few weeks before I decided to use OC smalltech and I was very disappointed with prices for repairing a broken screen on my wife's Apple Watch 4. I called OC smalltech and they were substantially less than other repair shops I called and they got it done in 36 hours at my request. I requested to expedite it to surprise my wife for her birthday and they helped me out without any additional charge. I highly recommend these guys. Good prices and quality work! read more

I thought, "OMG, I'm here in Orange County - not exactly known for its tech community. What am I gonna do?" I found iSolution and brought my MacBook in. The guy fixed it right away while I watched. He didn't even charge me. Then on Saturday, Feb. 11, everytime I put my password in to log on, I got the whirligig. After waiting 5 attempts at about 15 minutes each with no progress, I realized this was a bigger problem than restart could fix. I brought my laptop into iSolution and the guy watched the whirligig and said, "This is an OS problem." Luckily I had my WD back up drive and it was current, so I told him if he had to wipe the laptop, so be it. Well, after a few hours he called and said the OS was corrupted and that he'd been able to fix it without wiping my laptop. No need to reinstall everything. I picked it up and he charged me reasonably. It is completely fixed and am on my laptop right now! I am a super happy camper. Both experiences with iSolution were fantastic. Susan

I saw how he was testing it and it was a pretty much checking the generic swipe motions. My issue was closing out screens/sites/pages and using the left side of the keyboard.

But currently I do notice my a and s not working too well just like before. I guess I'll have to wait and see if anything else is really better or not. A+ for his after service. ----end----- I had them replace my iphone 7plus screen and they were pretty quick about it. But the touch isnt too great. The accuracy is off too. Like when im typing, it suddenly skips somewhere else. And that never happened before.... But the worst is the touch sensors at the corners of the screen. The top right corner is the worst bc thats what i use the most....whether for closing a window/browser and when on sns. That corner touch is very important. I could have gotten this screen replaced for $10 cheaper but i decided to use them bc they had a 5 star reviews! But my advice is to just use the cheapest bc its probably all the same. At least its not cracked....and it "works"...

I tried to fix it however due to the poor quality it won't show correct colors. Also, the touch screen now doesn't work very well. When typing it will not recognize all the letters. When on safari and scrolling it will just randomly open windows and web pages that I barely touch. I have called several times as well today trying to speak to someone and they are not answering. I'm taking my phone to Apple to see if they can replace this screen with one that is acceptable. I wouldn't recommend this business if you are looking for your phone to be restored back to its original state. I wish I could get my money back for this job, it wasn't worth it.

When I returned (a 30-mile drive), they refused to check it despite arriving 40 minutes before closing. The "6-month warranty" was useless. They claimed the screen was cracked even though I only removed the protector to help them see the freezing issue. As an Uber driver, I couldn't be without a phone, so I had to settle for a broken, taped-up LCD for another $10. That also failed within two weeks. I eventually had to go to another branch listed on their card, where a low-quality, non-original LCD was installed. The phone still freezes constantly. I have wasted time, money, and gas. I expect a full refund for the faulty parts and the terrible experience I've had to endure. Avoid this place if you value your time and money.
