Tony @ Sonoma Valley Tech is the BEST!! Recently, my computer just upped and died .... leaving me in a panic as my business is dependent on it. Like many older persons my comfort level with the amazing uses of 'high tech' is fragile at best... so I was beside myself in my tech crisis. Tony was 'cool calm/collected' from the get go and under his experienced knowledge, I was led to a fully functional and very easy to adapt to a new computer. I was of course worried and preoccupied with how 'difficult ' the switch to a new computer would be. The process was painless! And the new machine seamlessly picked up where the old has finished. No problems with pass words and losing data.... it was ALL preserved and 'at my finger tips'. I cannot THANK TONY ENOUGH for his excellent service. I'm no longer gonna be afraid of tech problems as I know I have the perfect 'go to solution'! MANY THANKS!!! read more

This the second time that I needed my PC diagnosed and repaired. The first time my PC desktop was slow to boot up and process activities and Tony recommended an upgrade to an SSD which turned out great. This time my PC was crashing and again Tony figured out that it had corrupted memory cards and replaced them and my PC is working like new (it's ten years old). And the cost was reasonable both times. I highly recommend Sonoma Valley Tech. read more

All these 5-star reviews are well-deserved. Tony is knowledgeable, efficient, and provides excellent customer service at reasonable rates. Highly recommended. read more

I seldom write reviews, but in this case I felt compelled to highly recommend Sonoma Valley Tech for all things computer repair. I recently had an interesting problem with the sound system in my relatively new Dell. I wasn't sure if it was an issue with Microsoft, the sound drivers, or the plug-in speakers themselves. Not wanting to unplug all the speakers, I contacted Tony to see if he was able to make a housecall. He was able to come out the same day and was on time. He resolved the problem quickly and I am very happy with his work. Prices very fair. I will certainly use Sonoma Valley Tech in the future, should the need arise. read more

My business computer suddenly decided that it would not connect to the internet. Tony's consistent 5 star Yelp rating is well-deserved. He quickly diagnosed and repaired the computer with same day service at an extremely reasonable price. As I am not at all tech savvy, I also appreciated his friendly, understandable explanation of the computer problem and its resolution. Tony is indeed a Computer Support Specialist and I highly recommend him. read more

How lucky is Sonoma to have Sonoma Valley Tech! I went in the usual frazzled customer who thinks their computer crashed. Tony was calming and responsive. I received a phone call within 30 minutes of dropping off my computer that it was a simple fix and my computer was ready to pick up. Their prices are more than fair and I would encourage anyone in Sonoma to bring their computer repair to Sonoma Valley Tech. read more

Sonoma Valley Tech to the rescue! My HP laptop fan/heat sink simply stopped working; Computers Corner in Vallejo offered no explanation as to what might be wrong or what might need to be done, and curtly quoted me $120. I had a feeling that I wasn't going to get the service that I wanted there, so after looking up the service manual and realizing that the job required taking the whole freaking thing apart, I called up Sonoma Valley Tech to see if they could give me a ballpark of how much it'd cost me to have someone else do my dirty work. They were super nice and took the time to walk me through a few scenarios of what might need to be done, and gave me a rough quote--which I know is a hard thing to do in the service business because it's all about real time when you work by the hour. I was sold! They cleaned out huge dust bunnies and rocks (rocks!) from inside the fan/heat sink, and voila, the darn thing works! Damage: $70, and they had it done the same day! Breakdown: great customer service, transparent, efficient, affordable! read more

It may sound odd to give five stars to a shop that could not resolve my problems: a broken Lacie drive internal arm, but it is just what Tony deserves. That, all my future business. After determining he could not help me, which I suspected from my online research, Tony (at my asking) called three different data recovery specialist shops (that have sterile rooms) all over the US. He obtained quotes for me and discussed the specific pros/cons of each place. He then gave me a recommendation based on his experience. We narrowed it down to a facility in Novato. He charged me very little for what would have taken me a lot of time and created a lot of angst since I am a complete technophobe. Tony was calm, knowledgeable, clear and extremely helpful. I totally agree with the person who used the word "integrity" to describe his services. read more

My computer slowly began having issues and finally crashed. After having a friend who had some tech experience look at it and after spending 3 hours on the phone with Microsoft and not getting it fixed and running properly I called Sonoma Valley Tech. I asked him to come to the house instead of me taking the tower there since it was also having issues with the wireless printer. Tony charged me for an hour up front before he came. At that point I was so frustrated going days without my computer I would have paid anything to get it fixed! I was sure it was going to take hours getting it up and running. He came that day, he was very likable and he fixed it within the hour charge. In fact, he had it in perfect condition within 15-20 minutes!! Now I know why he charges up front. Tony also gave me some very good advice. I highly recommend Sonoma Valley Tech! read more

Brought in my computer that needed memory and a hard-drive installed. gave me a price I was totally happy with and had my computer ready for pick up in just a few hours. Tony provided great service, I am satisfied and would recommend this business to others. read more

Great service! Recommend without reservation. Tony is competent professional . My laptop was fixed next day as he said it would be. Diagnosis within a few hours. Cost of repair was as estimated even though took more time to repair than he thought it would read more

Tony is superb. Recently I had an issue with Outlook that caused me to lose my email body from all my clients sending me requests. I have been building a startup during the pandemic and this could have been a disaster. He quickly assessed the situation, issue and within an hour resolved it so I could continue on without significant interruption. It is so difficult to find competent tech support today that does not gouge you as they solve your issue. His price was extremely reasonable and he has the trusting demeaner to keep me coming back. Take your tech to Tony! read more

My laptop 's hard-drive crashed! Took computer in, Tony confirms the problem and quotes $179 to replace AND 'clone' all content from old one onto the new drive. It turned out to be a longer, more difficult task, BUT he did it perfectly and computer works faster /better than ever! At no more than original quoted price! Thanks for saving me. read more

I kept getting the blue screen of death. I ran a memory diagnostic and found out i had a hardware problem - mostly like need to swap out my RAM. I took it to Tony and he ran a full diagnostic on it. He called me that same day to give me an update which i really appreciated. Once the complete diagnostic was finished he called me with his findings - it was more than the RAM, my OS had gotten corrupted by the repeated crashes. He fixed it and my laptop is like brand new. Never realized how poorly my laptop was running until Tony performed his magic. The price was super reasonable too! I will be taking all my computer repairs to him in the future! Tony was amazing, responsive and honest. read more

Tony always is able to fix my laptop...and then explain what he has done and changes made so that I, a Luddite, can understand. Thanks.

Best computer repair in town. Easy to deal with. Nice guy. Does a very good job at a reasonable rate!

I took my 94 year old dad's laptop to Tony on Friday at 11:30 am. Tony had it back to me by 4pm that same day. I live 3 hours from dad, I can't tell you how much it meant to me to get it back in one day. Thanks Tony! read more

My computer has recently been running very slowly and has generally been less effective. I brought my computer into Sonoma Valley Tech, and what I was most impressed with was the turnaround time. As a business owner, I need my computer in order to work. Their ability to fix the problem and get the computer back in my hands in approximately 24 hours was a major relief and allowed me to keep my business moving forward with minimal interruption. I will definitely return for all future computer needs. read more

I had work deadlines and was in a real rush. They repaired my laptop and then delivered it to me that evening at El Dorado Kitchen where I was having dinner. Incredible customer service and experienced. I highly recommend them! read more

See Tony Alire II, at Sonoma Valley Tech for all things computer. Integrity, that's what you need most when something has gone wrong with your pc. That's what you'll receive; honest appraisals and very fair pricing of services. Frankly, you couldn't ask for anything more. Tony is highly recommended - without reservation. See him even before something goes haywire. My computer was 5 years old and stopped booting up. Don't we always wait just a little too long anyway? I'll be back to see him when I transition data from the old computer into my new one not long from now. read more

We've used Sonoma Valley Tech twice over the past few of years. The first trip was to clean up our PC and our laptop, which were both running terribly with constant pop up messages due to kids accidentally downloading viruses. He cleaned both up and added a free anti-virus software to each. Then, a year later, my PC almost died so I bought a new one. He was able to save all my files and load them onto my new PC (which was no easy task because the old PC was barely functioning at that point). He got my new PC up and running. The PC is used for two businesses so I was very concerned about getting back to work quickly. He is very knowledgeable, professional, honest, patient with my many questions, and provided excellent customer service. Thank you very much! We recommend Sonoma Valley Tech to everyone! read more

Once again Tony @ Sonoma Valley Tech came through for me in a pinch! When I first acquired my Windows based laptop, I took it to Tony for a general cleanup and clean bill of health. He returned my machine in A+ condition and it has worked great. Now a year later it has become crudded up with viruses and acquired some particularly nasty malware causing it to slow to a crawl and ruin my experience as a user. In less than four hours and for a reasonable fee, once again he returned it to me completely refreshed and ready to go, with nary a blip in my schedule. What can I say? This guy is great! read more

Took my laptop in with an issue and Tony had it back to me lickety-split. Works better than before!

I'm thrilled with the work that was done on my PC. My hard drive took a dive (again) so I brought it here to SVT. Tony? not only copied what was on the fried drive to the new drive, but he also neatly organized my old files into a back up folder. I had no problems finding my music, 3d files, you name it :D My PC sings now!!.. Feels just about brand new!! Amazing work Sonoma Valley Tech. read more

I had the BEST experience with Tony @ Sonoma Valley Tech! One morning my work computer crashed and I was under a huge deadline. He answered my distress calls within minutes, took my computer within 30 minutes, and had it back to me working perfectly within hours. All this for a completely reasonable price! We are so fortunate to have a quality business like this in our little valley! read more

The service is fast and friendly, and the price for recovering the data off my daughter's dead hard-drive and installing a new one was fair. Don't waste your time at that other Sonoma computer shop. read more

I have used Sonoma Valley Tech 3 different times, for 3 separate computers. 2 hardware problems and one software/ virus problem. In all 3 cases, Tony was not only speedy with the fixes or recommendations, but really reasonable, too. He's so honest he recommended that, rather than spending $250 for him to fix the problem, I purchase an inexpensive monitor, which solved my problem. read more

Thank you yelpers!! I have had some serious computer stresses plus my technology skills are pretty poor, but that's all in the past now. Tony has fixed problems for me quite a few times now. I thought it was time to add my review to yelp since this is how I found this computer guru. One of the many great things about this business is that he actually does the work. My computer isn't sent to another part of the county like the big name stores. He takes pride in his work and he's super efficient and knowledgeable. Your computer doesn't have to broken, he also does tune ups. He can clean up your computer, help it run more efficiently, etc. We are so lucky to have this little gem in Sonoma, but to be honest, I would drive a considerable distance for this service. read more

Quick and personal service, reasonable pricing and clear explanations for my questions. Also, good follow up when I had additional questions. I'll go back. read more

I was told by my cable carrier that I had a modem/router issue. After two trips to Petaluma to get new equipment and several hours on the phone with their techs they decided it was actually a computer issue. I called SVT and Tony had me bring the computer right down. I was pleasantly surprised when he called me just over an hour later to tell me it was ready to go and repaired! WOW--where else are you going to get this service? He explained what he found, although it was over my head. All issues resolved. I was almost afraid to take it home and hook everything back up, but he actually told me to call on his cell phone if I was having problems. This will be the only place I call with any future computer problems--hopefully not too soon! read more
