Special shout out to MANABU K. for fixing my issue and not once making me feel stupid, when he fixed a problem I had tried to fix myself with many attempts...it took him about 2 minutes! He was kind and patient. Thanks again!

He had a lot of trouble keeping track of my wiring and ended up trying to give me my computer back without the fan lights working. Let me be clear - I brought the computer to him with the side plate off, he saw firsthand what needed to be done right from the onset. In the end, I realized he was doing all this wiring work without consulting the motherboard manual.. Like basically guessing? I don't know what he was thinking but the way he was working was very inefficient. At a surprisingly high $75/hour higher skill level was anticipated. He then asked me to supply him with the motherboard name, claiming there was just no way for him to figure this out on his own.... Have you ever heard of Device Manager? I guess not.. Which is stunning. Even my computer illiterate parents know what Device Manager is. All in all I got my computer back in almost the condition I gave it to him in.. He refused to reattach the wire comb I had for my motherboard / CPU power so I will unfortunately have to re-open that side of my rig and reinstall that at some point. The cost for all this nonsense and ineptitude? A little over $200. To install an $80 HDD. He wanted to charge me a lot more, almost double that.. So I guess you could say I got a good deal? I don't feel like I did. I give two stars only because in the end he almost put my PC back together correctly. But I really would have rather avoided the literal *arguments* that got me to that point. I had to fight for my rights as a customer. Not fun. This man sucks, like I said, he should've retired around the time Windows Vista came out. He might be good if you're having issues with a PC running Windows 3.1 or '98. I would recommend you *not* contact this guy. Save yourself the headache and avoid the highway robbery.

I am admittedly not well versed, but how to go about finding someone on such short notice? I spoke to Mr. Ricardo who helped triage my situation and advise what the best course of action was. He was extremely professional, thoughtful and knowledgeable. Most times folks who seek help are in dire straits to begin with. The superb customer service, excellent value for price paid and lightning fast response time makes this business a GO-TO for your electronic needs. To be greeted with such empathy and care is what earned Mr. Ricardo and Santa Barbara Computer Repair PC Tech one of the easiest five star ratings I've given this year.

He was always on it right away, and worked diligently to get it back up and running as quickly as possible---but sometimes you just have to call it a day with your old hardware and upgrade. I don't regret it! We've stopped losing clients due to outages, so I'm very pleased. I've also asked Dane to come to my company to help with getting our office PCs updated and ready to meet HIPAA compliance standards and he even took care of sending out my personal Macbook for me when the screen stopped working. All I had to do was drop it off and he delivered it to my office after it was repaired! Dane works closely with my own, budding IT guy to give him guidance where needed and checks up on our servers regularly to make sure it's kept up-to-date and working. He even added in some kind of file or something that will give us protection against the dreaded ransomware virus. He's always friendly, personable, explains things at a level where I can understand them, doesn't waste my time, and tries to do his best to get us the exact equipment to meet our needs (instead of one of those guys who encourages you to overspend on things you don't need!). You won't find a better systems admin!
