I wish I could give more than 5 stars! Although I've never been to PC Parlor in person, I was blown away by the service. I called after seeing all the great Yelp reviews, hoping they sold computers. While they don't, Tony still took the time to chat with me at length and generously shared his honest insights on the options I had been considering from a few big box stores. His help was incredibly thoughtful and much appreciated. Thank you, Tony--you went above and beyond! read more

Tony and his staff took care of my son's PC quickly, efficiently, and also showed my son how to do it and explained to him every step of the way. Can't say enough about this business, great job to Tony and his staff! Thank you. read more

My laptop crashed, and I use my laptop primarily for my work, Ivan & Tony were able to restore and replace the hard drives with new ones, you saved me. Always helpful, honest, and finally great results. read more

AMAZING!!! If I could give this place 10 stars I would! If you are in the South Bay Area this is the place for computer help. I was locked out of my computer and both Samsung and Microsoft and even Best Buy geek squad could not help me. I bought it to Tony at PC Parlor based on the other great reviews and he did not disappoint. Not only did he have a solution and fix for my computer quickly but at a very reasonable cost!! He also had flexibility with payments!! Great experience and great work !! My computer is all back up a running perfectly!! read more

Yelp reviews are spot on with this business. I needed to upgrade the HDD to an SSD on my 2013 late model iMac. Buying a newer upgraded iMac was not an option, and this desktop still runs great but needed a slight upgrade because it was starting to get sluggish. I reached out to PC Parlor via Yelp, and Tony was prompt in responding and thorough with the responses. Prices were more than fair, and the turnaround time was speedy fast. I literally got my computer back within 1 business day. Currently writing this review on what feels like a brand new computer. Customer service was top notch. They make you feel like a seasoned customer although it was my very first time doing business. HIGHLY RECOMMEND for all your computer/tech/IT needs. read more

This place is amazing. They saved my $7000 PC build for $300. I tried to build the CPU myself, but missed a few things. The staff was able to tell me exactly why my build didn't work and solved all of the issues. Not only that, they were able to make my PC build better than I could have imagined. They were able to install 9 cooling fans (including liquid cooler), an E-ATX motherboard, Sound Card, 4090 Nvidia GPU, my processor, hard drive, SSD, and RAM. Their cable management is impeccable. Couldn't be more pleased with the service. They have my business! If you are thinking of ordering a pre-build, please reconsider. Buy your parts on NewEgg and bring them here, you won't be disappointed! read more

My Alienware gaming laptop had been lagging a lot recently, and over the past year it had been overheating to the point where it was burning my fingers. I assumed it was just getting older, and never considered getting it cleaned. It was on my sister's suggestion that I take it in to be cleaned, and that's how I found PC Parlor. They had overwhelmingly positive reviews, so I thought I'd give them a try. I've never been more shocked and overjoyed with the results!! I told them the overheating and lagging issue, and Tony promised to have the computer for me the next day. True to his word, it was ready! Unfortunately I was at work when it was done, so I couldn't pick it up until the following day. Tony went above and beyond by using the extra time to run FIVE benchmark videos on my computer simultaneously, letting it run all night to test if it would begin overheating. When I came to pick it up, I felt the computer myself and it wasn't hot at all! He not only disassembled the laptop to clean out the vents, but he and Ivan added a thermal grease inside of it because the original grease had gone dry and flaky. Tony showed me pictures of it (I was pretty grossed out at how bad it had become), and he was very kind about explaining everything in a professional manner, and wasn't judgmental as he showed me the photos. And the price? For them to disassemble the laptop, take photos, clean out the vents, detangle the fan, add the thermal grease, reassemble it, run it all night long, and to take the time to explain what they did and show me photos? Only $150. My computer runs beautifully now, and I feel safe leaving my computer with them anytime! PC Parlor is the only one I'll trust with my computer's needs from now on. read more

The customer service here was wonderful. They fixed my granddaughters gaming device and didn't even charge us! Thank you PC Parlor!!

Needed to have a laptop battery replaced, and the service was great! They were so fast, within the hour, and the price was very reasonable... read more

Tony answered the phone and to my surprise started to diagnose the issue with my computer!! I did not have to take it to the office because Tony is so skilled over the phone with pinpointing the issue that he could resolve the issue by providing clear instructions on what to do while he was on the phone with me the entire time and PROBLEM SOLVED!! I could not be happier!! Thank you Tony!!! read more

My home desktop PC had a software crash and I thought it was time to wipe it clean and update the OS. I called PC Parlor to see if this work was something that they handled and to get an idea of what it would cost me. Tony answered the phone and, after thoroughly listening to me to get an idea of my issue, he tried everything he could over the phone in the most helpful way possible to guide me in performing the job myself to save on costs. I admitted that I didn't know anything about PCs or Windows and that I could use the help by simply bringing it into the shop. He opened up his schedule and told me I could come by with my PC ASAP. When I arrived, I received immediate assistance from his teammate Ivan. Having read a short blurb on Tony's website about his background, I got to talking with him and learned that Tony was a Petty Officer 1st Class (E-6) in the United States Navy. Being an Air-Force guy myself, we instantly hit it off and exchanged some stories about all the best bases & places we'd been to. What I also gleaned was that Tony made E-6 in just six years of total active federal military service (TAFMS). If you know anything about the enlisted force structure then you'd know that's nearly unheard of/impossible in today's military. A person must be sharp, intelligent, and an extraordinary craftsman in his military specialty to achieve such a milestone so quickly. But it was no surprise to me--Tony was very friendly, very savvy, and very respectful. My PC was ready for pick-up after just an hour and a half. I probably shouldn't say this, but since the scope of work was so minimal, Tony insisted that I only pay him a fraction of the price he quoted me over the phone. Tony is not only a generous man, but an outstanding American as well. I will return to his shop if another PC need ever arises. read more

Owner reached out to discuss reimbursement for the bad customer experience, (issue was not fixed, key was damaged, why would a customer be charged $150 for this? It's like buying a defective product, you certainly should get a refund, plus the price was technically double what I was expecting) Owner also followed up, putting some words in my mouth. To be 100% clear, the other shop offered $180, which I declined. I'm not sure why he mentioned $250 as the comparison price. Either way, I would not have proceeded with the service if I had know it would be over $100. I declined the extra service to repair the one button that was damaged because, well, like I said this is a computer I rarely use. Updated review to 3 stars because the owner did reach out to correct the situation, and I do believe they generally would do a good job, in my case it was a bad experience though. Owner seemed confused as to why I also basically claimed the store associates didn't believe me - I'm not necessarily saying they don't believe me, but common sense would say look: this customer came in with a number in his head, (I knew the hourly rate, your min. amount, etc) so obviously I had comparison shopped. When I got the machine back and the price was $150, again that wasn't a huge deal by itself. But then the issue is not resolved. The keyboard is not more functional than it was before I brought it in, plus a key is gone. If you actually thought from the customer perspective, you'd agree that's a bad deal. Pay $50 more than I was told, and not solve the issue. I'm not saying the store didn't believe me, but either they didn't believe me or they thought as a business it was okay to charge someone $150 and not solve the issue. By the way, the owner also mentioned the laptop was returned a few days earlier than originally expected. That's irrelevant due to the above issues, and not a plus. I mean the issue wasn't solved, so who cares if they did it faster than anticipated? I had said I would come on Mon to pick it up, I was out of town and couldn't come in before then, so this is not something which needs to be mentioned. He also mentioned he offered to replace the entire keyboard for free. That's just throwing money at the problem. I'm not trying to get a new/free keyboard at all. Owner mentioned "you can't please everyone", which again missed the point. I didn't ask them to do anything extra, I just expected a professional experience where the business acknowledges their fault instead of deflecting. If they truly did believe me, the tone would be much more apologetic and sincere. Which I did not get. I also offered to bring the laptop in to show them that the issue still persists. There is very minimal improvement, and it objectively still has the same issue. Multiple keys stick and you cannot type quickly with this keys. This was the issue before and it still persists. I cannot prove I was given the offer of $100 over the phone, but again if management believed me, the tone would be very different. I've wasted way more time than I should on this, but I also believe the only way to improve is to actually listen and learn from your mistakes. I hope this helps management learn from this experience so it doesn't happen again in the future. Make sure to double confirm the estimate/payment before you leave the shop! read more

I took my nephew's gaming computer to PC parlor and couldn't be happier with the results. Nathan help me every step of the way and went above and beyond. I took 2 computers in and the team at PC not only fixed both but made 1 of them to the specific demands for better gaming. I highly recommend going to the expert here. Help support your local small business and feel good knowing your computer is in excellent hands. read more

Tony is extremely helpful and friendly. I brought four computers here a few years back and he fixed them all and they all still are working great. They were older when I brought them then. The prices are extremely competitive. This time I needed a simple fix, and was in and out of there in 15 minutes or less with my problem resolved. Highly recommend this place. There is tons of parking And lots of things to do nearby if you want to get errands done and get your computer the same day. At least 5 stars. read more

Best service you can find! Much more than just a computer repair shop! Bought parts to build 2 custom gaming PCs. I began to put it together myself and while I could have done it, cable management becomes a serious issue for it to look legit. Tony at PC Parlor said no problem and to bring it in. Ivan worked on both systems and he did a great job! Ivan provided sound advice and let me know i was missing some items. They ordered it right there and as soon as they came in, got it up and running! Could not be happier with them and they charge a very reasonable price to put it together! I know several people that will be coming to them to build their gaming PC's as soon as they can get their hands on those elusive graphics cards! :D We built a top of the line dual set with RTX 3090's and RGB everything and Ivan made it look so clean! Price: 5/5 Service: 5/5 Expertise: 5/5 I have honestly been trying to think of something they could improve on, but nothing comes to mind. Maybe an increased social media presence so they are easier to find but other than that, they are a gem of a PC shop! I want to stop by every week just to talk technology with them! :D -MJB read more

PC Parlor - RTX 3090 Beast of a Gaming Rig put together by Ivan! - IT Services & Computer Repair Near Me - Torrance, California

Ivan and Tony are the best. My hard drive crashed on my laptop, which wasn't very old. Totally gone. They tested to be sure, installed a new drive with double the capacity for much less cost than unanticipated. And they did it fast!! Kept me informed all the way and got me back up and running in no time. I won't go anywhere else, highly recommend you don't either. - Jim read more

Called and spoke to Ivan, right away he was able to solve my problem when walking in. The staff is very friendly and kind. Will be coming back here no matter how far I have to drive as I'm all the way on the other side of LA. Really appreciate their attention to detail, exceptional service and communication. Thank you Ivan & the PC Parlor. read more

PC Parlor is the best!! They do excellent work with fair prices. They needed extra time transferring my data from my old laptop to my new laptop due to some issues with my new laptop, so they cloned my old laptop to a "loaner" laptop of their own so I wouldn't be without a PC over the weekend. Tony and his crew do excellent work and are very honest people. They have a customer for life in me. read more

The shop looks more like a boutique than an IT repair shop. God knows they didn't seem busy. Hi labor costs. (Probably very high rent.)

Recently moved back from the bay and needed to assemble a high-end PC for my son. Chatted with Ivan and Tony at PC Parlor and never looked elsewhere. Evident in the reviews, the PP team is incredibly knowledgeable in all platforms and amazingly efficient in their turnaround. Ivan and Tony exuded professionalism and provided impeccable customer service. I lead a digital team in a Top 100 tech giant...I engage with technical vendors in my day to day. If you need hardware / software support that's fast, trustworthy and respectful to their clients...I recommend PC Parlor. DM me if you have any questions. read more

This guy was so nice and helpful, and saved me from having to buy an $80 charger from BestBuy. Saved me!

I was in desperate need of PC help and found Tony on Next Door. Jumped in my car before they closed at 5pm on Friday and they said, oh yea we do this all the time. Ordered part and had computer back Monday afternoon! You have to support great, caring and hard working small businesses! read more

I worked with Ivan. I brought in a 7 year old gaming laptop that in its day was a beast. I wanted to see if I could get the old boy a facelift and get some updated parts to speed performance. Ivan did a ton of research and even printed out a lot of what he found. Clearly went the extra mile to see if it could be done. Very much appreciate the time and honesty. I highly recommend these guys to everyone. Thanks Ivan Marc read more

This PC Repair service is the absolute best in the area. I lost of all my files on my PC following a Windows 10 update and was desperate since some of the lost data was critical for my projects. Not only did Tony and his team reinstate all the files, they also provided a very reasonable quote for the service if compared to the huge workload the recovery process entailed. The entire process took several days and they provided status updates every single day. The professionalism and friendliness of this establishment are second to none and I will gladly recommend them to anyone needing their services. read more

Got the dreaded blue screen of death and found PC Parlor on yelp. Based on all the great reviews, I decided to take my workstation there. I let Ivan and Tony know my situation and they were able to figure out the issue and fix it very quickly. Unfortunately a few other (new) issues then popped up and I had to bring the unit back. They were able to resolve those issues as well and didn't charge me extra for it, which I really appreciated. Tony even put in some work over the weekend (they're usually closed) and Ivan went as far as setting up my Synology server and VERY patiently answered all my (very) annoying questions. I was able to get my computer back during the first week of my new job, which was critical. Highly recommend PC Parlor for any of your PC needs. They will always have my business. Thank you again for everything Tony/ Ivan! Yall r the best! read more

Hello, I am a computer programmer/software engineer. I know how to write a new computer program but when I need my computer repaired, I take it to Tony's repair shop. I've used Tony for years and he is super honest and very thorough. I remember some time ago about 20 years ago. I brought him my desktop and I told him to double my memory. When I returned to pick up my computer, I asked How Much do I owe you? He said no charge. Why? Because the computer I had was using contained maximum memory. It was built into the PC. It will show you it contains the newly added extra memory. But the computer does not actually use any extra memory. This was unique to only this model. The next day I called the computer manufacturer and asked if there was a way to add additional memory to this PC. After waiting twenty minutes online (telephone) the desktop associate told me you cannot add additional memory to this computer model. The help desk associates had to look this one up he, told me he did not know this, and that it was something they just learned. After that, whatever Tony tells me I believe it. So yes, do, I recommend Tony's PC Parlor! YES, I DO. read more

5 stars all around. I managed to break my work laptop keyboard while traveling. This week my company announced a mandatory in person national sales meeting was scheduled to take place in New Jersey in only two weeks ... (IN PERSON!!!) I knew I had to fix my ghetto computer ASAP before any of my colleagues saw it :(. Thanks to PC Parlor, I got the job done in two days (because I came in with the wrong part the first day). I thought I could wing it and do it myself - i ended up breaking the keyboard even more and needed help. PC Parlor found the right part and installed it for me in less than 5 minutes at 4:45 on a Friday...! Despite my amateur, low price Laptop Repair request; I was treated with top notch customer service as if I were the highest paying customer in line. PC Parlor is a gem and I highly recommend them for ALL of your computer needs (including Mac's). Very friendly, knowledgeable, professional and easy to talk to. As a young, single, female I felt perfectly at ease here. Do yourself a favor and pick PC Parlor. i'm glad I did! read more

I just had my laptop screen repaired. My 5 year-old daughter accidentally dropped the laptop, which broke the LCD touchscreen display. I found PC Parlor on Yelp, and gave the business a call. Tony answered my call, and was kind to assess the computer and give an estimate, which was very kind because he said That I can stop by even though it was past closing time. The repair was well done and took 3 business days to finish the repair. The screen and display works great, as if nothing happened. Tony provided great service, great information about the repair, great communication about updates of the repair, and the repair went well. Tony also said that he can upgrade the hard drive if I wanted to in the future since I showed him that it was a little slow. I asked if he can upgrade my old Mac from 2008, and he said he can and explained how. I highly recommend PC Parlor, and I will be back again soon to upgrade my computers with them. read more

My gaming laptop was beginning to overheat while playing my games. I cleaned out the fans with compressed air but that didn't seem to fix the problem.
