Thx you much! Steve is an upfront person and knows his stuff. He came out and assessed the situation, and helped get my wifi up and running. Others wanted to replace routers before they even came out, which was not needed! Steve is knowledgeable with a fair price, not trying to upcharge. I would recommend Steve to my friends and family. Thx again read more

We had a sudden, unexpected home internet mess on our hands and I reached out to Steve at Roving Technology more in hope than confidence. To my amazement, he came the same day, jumped right in, diagnosed the problem quickly, and when a part was missing, drove out and got it without hesitation. What could have been hours of frustration turned into a huge relief. More than that, it was genuinely comforting to know there's someone we can call who actually knows what they're doing and is willing to help until the job is done. Reliable, calm, generous with his time, and clearly skilled. We feel lucky to have found Steve and won't hesitate to call again. Highly recommend. read more

Steven was incredibly knowledgeable, sweet and caring of doing a good job. We hadn't been successful using other guys, but he finally managed to fix our WiFi issues, and taught me how to monitor it in the future. He's great - would absolutely recommend him! read more

Highly recommend Steven and Roving Technology for your tech issues. read more

Any problem that I had with the cameras he responded in a reasonable amount of time. I strongly recommend this gentleman's business. The pricing is fair, and reasonable. read more

Steve did an outstanding job helping me set up a new ubiquiti system in my home. He was extremely generous with his time and very fair with costs. Highly recommend! read more

I had an odd problem with in home network Steve Rottman had installed about 3 years ago. I called him for help and he spent at least 2 hours walking me through troubleshooting. We finally discovered an oddity about the way my Frontier provided router was functioning and Steve figured out how to fix it without my having to call Frontier. And then he refused to charge me. That gets him 6 stars in my book, but apparently I have to stop at 5. read more

Wow, I have to say... Steve is awesome! I called him this morning to see if by some off-chance he carried a particular router because I needed a specific one ASAP. He didn't. But he was happy to help me find somebody local who did, and continued to provide great help over the phone. Steve is a standup guy who definitely deserves your business! I saved his number and look forward to working with Steve in the future. read more

I did not use steve's services but I'd like to write this review to appreciate his lending his ear (and expertise) when I inquired about our 27inch imac. He patiently troubleshooted and also explained possible scenarios, and referred two certified Apple repair shops, one of which I went to. He was genuine in his desire to help and that meant a lot, because most people brushes you off if its not leaning towards them being hired for service. Thank you, Steve. read more

Left a message and he called back. He made a suggestion that worked for my 3 in 1 Printer. I appreciate polite and professional people. I will be working with him here on. I highly recommend him to the world. Thank you Steve. read more

Although I wasn't able to use Steve's services, since he's an independent business, he helped me with what I needed regarding my PC, as well as additionally spoke to me on a multitude of extra questions and eloquently explained everything in a friendly, helpful manner. He was even able to call me back past his posted hours and suggested some programs and things I could do to manage and free up space on my PC. He also provided constructive tips and things to keep aware of. I am genuinely so thankful for his patience, his passion for his job, and the helpful information he provided me with. Thank you Steve! read more

First of all, this review is sort of an apology to Steve. I meant to call or text him back to let him know he helped me solve my problem, but never got around to it. He kindly followed up to make sure I was all good after our first chat, which was lovely. Basically, Steve helped me troubleshoot my own problem for free because he felt like I would be able to fix my own issue. I could not for the life of me figure out how to set up my home office dual monitor from a MacBook Pro. He turned out to be right, and I would totally pay him $50 just for the remote guidance alone. The fact that he did it from his car on the way to the grocery store without compensation is what makes him a class act. I will definitely reach out to him in the future if I ever have any real stumpers. Thank you, Steve! read more

Best IT service I ever had! Steve was a life saver! If could give him 10 stars I would! He is very knowledeable, resourceful and fast. He communicated the issues my computer had and assured it was going to be fixed. I highly recommend him and I will definitely go back for all my IT services. read more

Can't really say enough about Steve Rottman and Roving technologies, really knows his stuff! when I first called him, he answered the phone, and came by to give me a quote. He made the process of making our newly renovated house a smart house pleasurable and easy, and at a fraction of what the electrical contractor wanted to do the same work, and now my house has wired and wireless internet throughout the house, and a beautifully organized and neat media closet. read more

See all

Best IT service and help I have ever received! Had an last minute emergency dual monitor computer set up issue on a Sunday and called Steve after finding him online. With no appointment he called back very quickly. Steve sat on the phone with me while I described all the parts I had and the history of the computers etc very patiently. He walked me through testing out what worked, what didn't, and trouble shooting to figure out what I needed and set up a call later for further help. He was so incredibly knowledgeable, patient, helpful, and kind. I fully plan on using him for all my tech needs and will be setting up lessons with him to further my tech knowledge. Could not recommend more highly. If you need help - call Steve. read more

Steve was amazing. I did not end up needing to hire him because he just helped me over the phone with problem that was a straightforward fix for him - but not one that my husband or I could find anywhere on troubleshooting internet sites. He called me back immediately after I left him a message and said he thought he could probably fix my issue over the phone. He ran me through a couple of tests and we found and fixed the problem within 10 minutes. He saved my workday and told me how to avoid the issue in the future. I would not hesitate to call him again, and when we look to upgrade our home or business services, he'll be the first one we call. Thanks again, Steve! read more

Thought I had lost an network hard drive that succumbed to old age. Steve to the rescue! Walked me through a few options, and was able to get it re-mapped. Back in business in less than 45min! Easy to understand instructions, patient and very knowledgeable - would highly recommend. Thank you good sir, you are a lifesaver!! read more

He was a great help after my brother clicked an internet link and let god-knows-who load software on his machine. Steve cleaned up the machine and gave him guidelines on what not to do until he got there. read more

I am so thrilled to have contacted Steve, the owner of Roving Technology! My experience working with him was not 5 - it was 10‼ I am admittedly a low tech gal. My Mac told me I needed a new battery. After a fraudulent experience with PC Mall in Santa Monica (now deservedly closed long before COVID), I am uncomfortable dealing with tech issues. I found Roving Technology on Yelp, called and left a VM. Before I finished reading all his 5 reviews, he returned my call! How's that for fast & great customer service? This type of attention is unheard of in 2020. But there's so much more to Roving Technology's standard operating procedures which go way beyond any other business. Steve has more compassion than my doctor! Although he, personally, could not replace my battery because even Apple no longer stocks batteries from 2008. But Steve did not stop there, after confirming my Serial Number. He offered to spend the time checking around for me to find someone I can trust and who has the extinct battery, at a very reasonable price & delivery service. Meanwhile my search on Yelp triggered a massive storm of businesses telling me they could replace my battery, before they even knew the Serial Number. They offered unbelievably low prices. But I was skeptical and read your Yelper reviews. The people were not businesses I could trust based on my fellow Yelpers. But Steve called me back again, very quickly. Apparently he took the time to review the specs for my MacBook Air laptop, circa 2008. He discussed with me the valid reasons why I might not want to spend the money for the battery replacement. He took the time and care to explain the operating system problems which would exist and needing to take additional steps necessary for our new Zoom World. Then he called me back today with a very cost effective solution and vetted the business for me. He charged $0, ZERO for all his time and trouble. Now that's not an invitation to abuse such a kind and generous professional, especially since his work is focused on larger issues than simple battery replacement. I am posting this review to let my fellow Yelpers know, not only how GREAT Roving Technology is, but also how much Yelp reviews mean to people like me. Thank you, Steve! You are a treasure for those of us who are technically challenged. read more

Steve is nothing short of fantastic! He listened closely as I explained my laptop's issues. He quickly identified potential causes and clearly explained what might be required to resolve them. Steve is honest, fair, knowledgeable and responsive. I highly recommend him. Oh, I forgot to mention one very important detail: he is very nice person! read more

Helpful is not a big enough word when talking about Steve, his scope of knowledge, and patience. Can't recommend his services with higher certainty. Thanks again, Steve. read more

Set up my new computer and gave me lots of Valuable suggestions re tech! Would use again Barbara holman read more

As all the other reviews accurately state - Steve is amazing. He loves what he does and it shows in the way he supports those lucky enough to contact him. I called a few weeks back to get some advice and estimates on upgrading our network hardware. We are not a large enterprise by any means but do have roughly 50 devices connected to our network. Most would jump at the chance to sell equipment and services. Instead, Steve told me to take a step back and see if we could find another way to alleviate our network issues WITHOUT unnecessarily upgrading expensive equipment. He took no less than an hour of his own, unpaid time to learn about our business and thoroughly explain methods to test our network. To top it off, he ended up giving me a contact for someone who could better service our needs. All this to say that Steve is a rare breed. He is patient, knowledgeable, and honest. Although I am technically not a customer of his (yet), I am confident his work ethic will yield exceptional results for anyone considering hiring Roving Technology. Thank you for all your help, Steve! read more

This guy is a saint! He helped me get my WiFi network up and running remotely when I was in a jam and needed it for our baby monitor. He's super knowledgeable and explained things in digestible terms (for a layman), and most importantly, he was very patient when walking me through a long series of steps to fix our network. Also, reasonably priced. I'd recommend. read more

I manage the IT department for a construction company based in San Francisco. We needed to find someone in the LA area for on-site support at our office in Venice. After combing through Yelp reviews, I decided to go with Roving Technology. Steve was really great to work with and I'm glad I went with him. He takes the time to thoroughly review your project to make sure everything will go smoothly. He provided regular updates during the project and even sent me photos as the work was done since I'm not able to be on-site at that office. We'll definitely be using Roving Technology for any future projects we have in the LA area. Thank you Steve! read more

Just spoke to Steve and it's so refreshing to find straightforward and honest help, with integrity. Steve walked me through a quick diagnostic, FOC, and suggested my next steps. I can tell you who I'll be calling should I need anyone to work on my Mac! Thanks you sir! read more

Steven gave me a quote (estimate) here on Yelp which I thought was fair. He and I coordinated a time for him to visit our office and he showed up on time (maybe even early) and got to work. His advice was practical, honest and of course, most importantly, he got the job done. We had a couple of printers that just weren't connecting to the network properly and he fixed them up in no time. I recommend him with confidence. read more

My screen on my older Acer needs to be replaced and I needed advice if it's worth replacing or if I should purchase a new one. My concern was that a computer repair person would, of course, tell me to go for the repair! So, I called Roving Tech, and left a message. Within minutes Steve called back. After he gathered the info about my pc, he suggested I buy new and gave me detailed reasons why I should (and no, he didn't offer a great refurbished one that he just so happens to have) He also took the time to educate me on what to look for in a new pc to be sure the purchase is warranted. AND not only that, but Steve doesn't do those types of repairs, so he wasn't even speaking to a potential customer! If I should ever need the type of service he offers, I will be sure to call him. Great help and great vibes. read more

Steve Rottman of Roving Technology has provided outstanding tech support to our non-profit organization for several years. Whenever we have an IT issue, he responds within minutes and either offers clear, detailed instructions over the phone or via remote access, or if needed he will come to our workplace to resolve the issue. Steve recently guided me through purchasing an executive level PC and set it up for me so that I didn't lose any work time. His professional work ethic, combined with his confident yet calming communication style, make him the perfect choice for all of your technological needs. Look no further! - Carla Adivi Education Director, Valley Outreach Synagogue read more

Steve is the man! I had a Wifi network that could barely keep up with my Zoom needs. I gave Steve a call and he walked me through my situation and gave me solutions to try - he also decided it wouldn't make sense for him to come out to my house as I could handle it myself. Following the advice I fixed my broken 16/MBPS network and am now getting 400/MBPS. Amazing customer service and still can't believe he took the time out of his day to walk me through my issues without a charge - I owe Steve a beer (or six pack). read more

I remember searching for an IT person... and I contacted a couple of businesses before I talked to Steve. The other two business didn't come back to me but Steve was super quick returning my phone call. When he called me I explained to him what my needs were and he, right there, in that same phone call, spent 20 minutes of his time to get to know my business and what my options were. I was really surprised. I guess because here in the States, you have to pay in advance for any consultation or whatever. It was a no-brainer, I hired him. Throughout the process he has shown he cares, he was always available immediately, and he had a lot of patience educating me about NAS servers, RAIDs, Online Backups and so. I can't say enough about how good he was. He went beyond my expectations and I felt I was in good hands. read more

Steven provided incredible assistance with a network error that I was having trouble solving. He is extremely patient and kind, and made sure to explain thoroughly how to troubleshoot the problem over the phone. I am going to continue to ask Steven for guidance with technical issues and I HIGHLY recommend that anyone who needs this kind of support give Steven a call. read more

I'm thrilled to have Steve work on my project. Haven't worked along side someone as professional. Clearly understands his line of work and very responsive to my needs.100% satisfied, will recommend anyone that needs any technology services or just needs network consulting, he will definitely direct you on the right path. read more

We will definitely call again if we run into more trouble! Steven was very helpful in simmering high emotions as well as knowledgeable about the computer itself. We lost an extremely valuable document and wasted a ton of time trying to recover it before we called. Was nice to just put the document out to pasture after having an expert say so! Saved us a bunch of time and driving! read more

I found Steve on Yelp and contacted him on a Sunday with an emergency issue. He took time from his weekend to patiently walk through solutions with me. I will definitely use his services in the future. I strongly recommend him. read more

Best IT in LA! This guys is on it! Great Pricing and most helpful and knowledgable computer repair in LA.

We wanted fast, stable WiFi throughout our challenging 1929 home, including the detached garage and outside areas. We also needed some additional ethernet ports for some select hard-wired connections. Steve delivered on all counts. He tested lots of various placements for WiFi access points and was able to find a great/optimized setup for us. All the access points are tucked away and hidden from view, but they blanket our house and we are getting blazing fast, consistent speeds. Also want to mention how responsive and flexible Steve was. We had various other projects going on in the house (including refinishing of floors, rendering the house inaccessible at times), and he was able to work around these other projects. Highly recommended. read more
