Eric is a quiet genius. His knowledge of IT, commo, phones, etc. is in a single word - ENCYCLOPEDIC! If he doesn't know something, he will acknowledge it. No BS. He is efficient, carries the desirable 3,500 most needed spares in his car, and is wildly adept at making straws, masking tape, and bubble gum provide world class first echelon repairs. After his working with us for 7 years, we are nominating him for the Mr. God Wrench Award for IT. He ain't cheap but he is worth every penny and much more. WE credit him for saving us time, money, frustration, and giving us tons of peace of mind. On a scale of 1 to 5 stars, his badest days provide 9 star results. Normally, he gives you 12 stars. You can pay more but can't get better than Eric. Thanks Terry G read more

I read several reviews on The ComputerGuy and decided to use them to fix some issues on two personal computers and our home network today. Eric arrived at the house and got right to work. He had both of my major issues resolved in less then 30 minutes (2 other technicians had not been able to fix one of the network issues). While at the house Eric also found and fixed some problems on my wife's computer as well. Before he left he gave us several good recommendations for improving our overall computer system - our system is somewhat outdated and his recommendations were on point. I was very impressed with Eric's work ethic, his expertise & knowledge, and with his general approach to business. I would use his services again and I would recommend him to others. read more

My elderly father had a really slow computer and needed help. Eric was referred to him by a neighbor. He came out to the house, did an analysis and made some recommendations. We decided to go with a laptop. Eric researched and came up with some possibilities. The one we ordered from Costco was defective, so he researched more and the laptop came from Amazon yesterday. Eric came today, as scheduled, and installed the laptop, WiFi, Bluetooth speaker and a mouse. My dad is thrilled. Eric was polite, knowledgeable, responsive, patient and very kind to my 88-year old father. He was especially sensitive to my dad's needs and experience level. He answered all my questions in a timely and professional manner. My dad and I were both impressed and unhesitatingly recommend him. read more

I am a college student and I needed a screen repair for my MacBook Air (2017) ASAP for an affordable price, other places were charging me a ridiculous amount. Eric replied that same day and picked it up the next day. He got it done within 6 days! He knew exactly what he was doing and even updated the latest macOS on my laptop. Everything looks and feels new! So happy with the results, thank you again. read more

See all

I found computer guy on yelp and set up an appointment with Eric to help me out with a few problems on my computer...first time customer. He was so helpful, thought I might need a new hard drive, but he ran the first aid on my mac and indeed I did not need a new hard drive...we were both pretty happy about that. He cleaned up my computer, taught me a few things all mac users should know and was so helpful, funny and did not try to upsell me anything. Glad I had nothing major going on...but when I do I will get in touch with Eric for my computer needs. Great, fair and knowledgeable service. read more

Highly recommend! I reached out to Eric on a Sunday afternoon and the job was done Monday at 3 pm. The best thing was Eric was able to set up my Remote Desktop Connection on (3) computers REMOTELY! Eric helped limit the spread of the COVID-19 with his skills and experience in working remotely. He was able to walk me through over the phone and connect remotely for the first job and by the second job he got it done by text and connecting remotely. What a breeze! If you have computer issues you should call Eric, you will be happy you did. Got the job done as promised at a fair price. What more could you want? All the best! read more

Very good experience with Eric. Professional all the way. I had an urgent issue that he was able to address right away. After looking over many Yelp reviews I decided to give him a try. And noticing he was Microsoft certified was a definite plus. Although his office is in Encinitas, he was able to accommodate me dropping of my computer at his home. This helped both of us. He was able to diagnose my problem within minutes and repairs were competed by the next morning. The computer and all the data on it were able to be saved. I'm hoping not to need him again anytime soon. Although if I do, i know I'll be in good hands. Thanks, Eric! read more

I never felt like I was being pushed to do something I didn't need. I trusted his recommendations and I'm so glad I did because my computer is running so much better now.

Eric responded to my request for service within a couple hours. After explaining my problem to him and what I wanted out of my laptop he said he can re-install my OS and replace my hard drive. He completed this work in LESS than 24 hours!! I got my laptop back and it feels brand spanking new. I would recommend Eric to anyone who's having computer/laptop issues. He really is The Computer Guy! read more

Eric is the best! When my computer when down after a power outage last week, I contacted Eric. He came out and determined that the hard drive on this old computer was going out. He gave me several options for repair or replacement. He quizzed me regarding what I used the computer for. My computer needs are basic...surfing the Internet, paying bills, using Quicken. He suggested that he could replace my computer with a similar one that had a new hard drive in it. As I didn't want to buy a new computer I chose that option. He came back out, and in an hour's time set it up, transferred everything from my old computer and it works beautifully. Met my needs perfectly for a very reasonable price. He is knowledgeable, professional, honest, and trustworthy. I highly recommend him! read more
