I am on a fixed budget and needed an upgrade. The thing that I appreciated about Neil is that he is willing to work with you based on your budget and needs. You just have to communicate, open up a working dialogue, and hear out all the options. Neil found me a refurbished Lenovo ThinkPad with all the right features and software. He could have also sourced me a new gaming laptop with the best speeds and processing power but of course- out of my budget. If you get to know Neil, you realize he does care about his clients and wants to make things right. So far I am satisfied with my laptop computer and if I run into an issue I can always call him and he'll do his best to help - obviously within reason.

Even the HDMI message disappeared after I checked and double-checked all my cables and connections. I took my desktop tower to Central Computers, not knowing whether the monitor, the cables or the computer were at fault. Pedro quickly determined that the computer was fine -- it was NVIDIA trying (with no warning) to update a driver that brought my system to a halt. He and Stirling monitored the update, then NVIDIA started a second one, which seemed stuck. Stirling downloaded the update directly from NVIDIA and finally got the job done. The wait (about 2 hours) was well worth it to regain my sanity. Pedro and Stirling were very kind, explaining everything and chatting with me when I wasn't browsing the aisles. This is now my go-to place for computer help.

Saw the Sony Ult 5 speaker on sale for $199.99 at Sony's website. Got excited and went down to…read moreBestbuy in Colma to see if they had it (knowing they price match). They had the speaker, brought it to the counter, the lady there (Lily or LeeLee) told me they didn't do price matching for Sony (total lie). I called Bestbuy customer service they also said that yes she should have done the price matching. This ruined my day. I will not be going back to this location. They also gave me bs when I bought another speaker back in March and a couple weeks later it went on sale $100 off. I had to go back into the store twice before they gave me the rebate. Worst customer service here, they should be ashamed. Her name was Lily or Leelee. *update I found the item on Bestbuy's website for the price I was asking to price match (sale must have updated since I went to the store) so I ended up getting it there and cancelling my Sony order. Complained to one of the managers there and they knew exactly who I was talking about. She's a short skinny asian lady with wavy hair.

As promised, I received a phone call from him, exactly 24 hours later. The problem with my laptop was not a problem at all. I was charged an incredibly low price for his expertise. Ed had excellent manners, patience and a positive attitude. I am 100% satisfied with our interaction.

They were able to complete this in half a day and I picked it up next morning. Odometer on my 2001 Toyota Camry was having issues on high temp days that cause the odometer to not display and the speedometer to remain only at zero. It seems to be a common issue with older 1997-2001 Camrys and the solution was to replace with a new resistor (I tried replacing the VSS, transmission solenoids, spark packs/wires/plugs, new alternator and battery) per a video on YouTube. They did a great job with the soldering of the new resistor and I put the odometer/speedometer back together and into the car with no issues. Now to see if this resolves my Camry issues! Big thank you to Andrea for her prompt replies to my questions and Carlos for ensuring that the techs knew what needed to be done!

I've been coming here for about a year to service my PS5 and controllers, and up until recently,…read moreI've had positive experiences. The staff is usually helpful, and turnaround times are pretty quick. However, my last experience was really disappointing. I brought in my DualSense controllers to fix analog stick issues and paid $100 to repair three knobs. Just one week later, I had the exact same issue with one of the supposedly repaired sticks. When I brought it back, I was charged an additional $60 to fix what should have already been resolved. What's most frustrating is that I couldn't get a clear explanation as to why I was being charged again for the same issue. If a repair doesn't hold up after a week, that should fall under some kind of workmanship guarantee--not an additional charge. I want to continue supporting this business because I've had good experiences in the past, but this situation felt unfair and left me questioning the quality and accountability of the repairs.
