My home PC was infected by malware and was sending out virus-containing emails to all of my contacts. Dan answered my call immediately and was at my house within a couple of hours. He not only fixed the malware issue, but he then accompanied me to Best Buy to help me pick out a new computer system. Once purchased, Dan installed the system and set it up so that it now works quickly and flawlessly. I never post reviews. But Dan was so good that I think it will be a true community service for me to let all of you know of his efficiency and high-quality of work. read more

I can't say enough good things about **West LA Computer Expert** and especially Dan. I recently discovered fraudulent charges on my bank account that were traced back to my computer being infected. Dan thoroughly cleaned and secured my computer, explained what had happened in clear, simple terms, and made sure everything was safe. He went above and beyond. He didn't just fix the technical problem -- he gave me practical, step-by-step advice on how to report the fraud properly and improve my chances of getting my money returned from the bank. Thanks to his guidance, the process felt much more manageable. Dan is knowledgeable, patient, and genuinely cares about helping his clients. If you're dealing with viruses, security issues, or just need an honest computer expert in West LA, I highly recommend him. 5 stars all the way. read more

I highly recommend Dan and his company. Very knowledgeable, knew all the right questions to ask while trying to diagnose the problem and very pleasant to work with. His prices are very reasonable and he's very thorough. My computer (which is 5-6 years old) behaves like its brand new Thanks Dan‼ read more

Dan brought my laptop back to life in just a fewchours. I dropped it off at 2 pm on a Sunday and I came to pick it up a few hours later. I think I handed him a machine bogged down by human error or negligence, but everything is right as rain now. Reasonably priced and tremendously convenient. Recommend!! Thank you Dan. read more

Dan was a huge help and extremely prompt. I had an issue (data recovery & transfer to a new machine) that had been plaguing me for months with my PC. When I finally decided to get help I contacted these guys and Dan came over and fixed the issue same day. Cost was *extremely* reasonable as well. If I have any other hardware or software issues in the future I will be giving him another call. read more

I would give Dan SIX stars if I could. Very knowledgeable, professional, fast turnaround, fair rates...and a nice guy! He addressed my issues within the hour! read more

Dan is one of a kind! I guarantee you will not find another like him. Brilliant, personable, and available! Honest and fair. Where are you going to find all of these qualities in a person providing a critical service job. There was an issue with my laptop that he could not resolve (although he tried), but unlike many in that situation, he knew where to refer me and did so without hesitation knowing how critical it was for me to get back online ASAP. I've had IT people who won't admit their limitations and lead you down some regretful path. Dan is the guy for all my future computer needs. read more

Quick and expert service. All the 5-star reviews here are legitimate. Dan knows what he's doing and will be there when you need him.

Dan was AMAZING. He got to work on my laptop right away and checked in with me every hour with an update. I've tried other computer repair shops on the westside before, and most places don't provide an update for hours. Dan understood how important my computer was to me and handled it with professionalism and care. His price was very reasonable as well. Highly recommend! read more

I had no idea what was going wrong with my laptop, it was just moving slow and not letting me do a single thing. So I took it in and Dan had it fixed up in an hour (for $90, his hourly rate). He was very nice, offered me water, and was very knowledgeable about computers. He gave me some tips on how to prevent my issue from happening again. I highly recommend him! Also, his elderly cat Chrissy was an excellent tech assistant. Cat tax included! read more

Dan helped us fix our computer issue promptly and securely, fair pricing, would recommend!

Dan Zivetz helped me with an email issue back in 2018 so I went to him for an issue with my laptop yesterday. He solved it and got me back up and running in no time. He's still your best bet for computer issues on the West Side. Highly, highly recommended. I hope I don't have to go back to him as I don't want any issues with my computer, but if something does come up, he's my guy. read more

Dan is like that Doctor who provides excellent care, than follows up to check on you just to make sure you are ok. If you can't appreciate that in 2025, I don't know what to say to you. He goes beyond the call of duty, he is thorough and knows his business. read more

Dan helped diagnose why my old PC wouldn't turn on, which turned out to be a power supply issue. He offered to take the PC to a repair shop he works with, where it was fixed quickly and with no issues. He also installed new memory for me on my PC for a good price and gave clear directions how I could do it myself if I wanted. read more

outstanding expert service with fast results. Dan restored my laptop to its new settings for a reasonable fee and arrived on time to proposed location. read more

My laptop wouldn't boot, HP support was no help and a tech support guy I trust quoted me a price of about $400 to retrieve my files and reinstall Windows. I called the West LA Computer Expert and he was at my door in less than 20 minutes... and it was about 7:30 PM, well after other places had closed. He got my laptop up and running again in no time and charged me a VERY reasonable price. When it looked like I might need an external drive, he offered to go to Best Buy with me and help me look! I was very impressed. read more

I would highly recommend Dan at West LA Computer for any computer issues you might have. My Windows laptop had been experiencing more and more frequent freezes requiring restarts, and the issue would not go away. Having a presentation to give the next day at an important meeting, I called Dan on a Sunday, not expecting anyone to answer or be available. To my happy surprise, he answered and told me to drive over right then. He took the laptop and started working his magic, told me to come back in an hour, and when I returned, the problem was permanently fixed. This guy is extremely knowledgeable, friendly, capable, and available, and the price he charged was extremely fair. I will be going back to him whenever future issues arise. read more

I highly recommend Dan at West LA Computer Expert svc. One of our computers crashed. Dan responded quickly, he was able to retrieve information we thought we lost, he also did a great job updating all of our computers so they are all running much better. He even called to follow up to make sure we were all set. read more

Extremely knowledgable, competent, and fast with repairs. Dan knew exactly what he was doing, and was able to get my computer back up and running quickly. I would definitely use him again if I run into future problems. read more

Great service and great referral to a company when he didn't offer a specific service.

Dan was great to work with. Not only is he local to my neighborhood (so I could walk to his house) but he's analytical and very detailed. He specializes in Windows products - of which I'm not terribly savvy with since I'm a Mac user. The computer he reconfigured was a former company's "Think Pad" which he completely wiped out for me to have for casual use. This computer is now running smoothly. He also asked questions as we went along as to what apps I want to have brought onto the laptop including MS Office. He also confirmed the amount of memory on the machine so I could eventually do video editing on the device. The cost was also cheap for this type of reconfiguration. I would think for the work completed it would cost a lot more at other local retailers. Just know he takes Venmo or Zelle, so make sure to have your accounts ready to go (no debit cards) before going onsite. read more

Dan! What a guy! So helpful and quick to respond. My computer needs were all completed in less than a day. Dan was not only able to help with all my PC needs but he also linked me up with someone who could help with an old phone. So great! 10 out of 10! read more

Dan, the owner of this computer repair business is a Saint! On Valentines Day afternoon no less, I had a 5-alarm laptop emergency when Windows 10 crashed and would not boot up no matter what I would do! My very critical and confidential data was not backed up! I have never had this type of problem with a computer before and I have been working with computers since Cobol IBM card compiler systems. I owned one of the first Windows 95 laptops in the day very few people owned a laptop, let alone a computer. Worse, the electronic address of this laptop has security clearance so I cannot just borrow a laptop--only that laptop will get me into the database to work and it would take 7-10 days to get clearance on another one and a lot of explaining. So what do you do in this situation? I immediately went on YELP and searched, "Immediate Laptop Repair." I called Dan and he actually answered the phone on Sunday Valentine's Day 4 pm! I told him what the problem was and he said, "Come on over." I responded: "What?!, come on over where on a Sunday evening? You are in your shop? You have time on Valentine's Day to deal with this? Is this going to create problems with your significant other?" Dan replied, "don't worry about it now--just come over to my house--you have an emergency." I raced on over to Dan's house with light's and siren blaring. He got right on it while I was there watching. Unfortunately, the HDD drive was corrupted his diagnostics determined. Dan was going to need to do emergency surgery on the Hard Drive, but he wanted to get into the drive and backup all my valuable and confidential data first just in case. He offered to back it up to a drive he had on hand, but I could not allow that with this data so he had me run out to Best Buy just 2 miles from his place and he gave me the name of a 1 TB drive to buy that I will now own and do regular backups on. When I got back from Best Buy with the 1TB back-up drive he went to work again on the computer at 7 PM on Valentine's Day. I left him with the Laptop at 7.30 pm and raced to my own Valentine's Day dinner before I would need my head backed up. He called me at 11.30 pm to let me know that he successfully located and saved my data on the 1 TB backup drive (I was so relieved!) but that he is going to need more time to repair the laptop drive, if it can be repaired, and reinstall the data. He texted me at 2:45 am to give me a list of data recovered and make sure that I was not missing any other data. He called me late Monday morning to give me a status report and again in the afternoon to let me know that it was fixed and ready for pickup. He transferred all my data back onto the Laptop and gave me the 1 TB backup drive back still containing my data just in case. The laptop has been working fine for the week afterwards, and in fact Outlook is not buggy anymore (It used to not display some of my appointments at random--Microsoft looked at it a few months ago and could not figure out a solution.) I also took this opportunity to clean up the cluttered Desktop. Dan gave me some helpful suggestions for backing up the computer as well as purchasing a new one if I was so inclined. His charges for this service were reasonable and I would return to him if I had more computer problems or if I wanted to replace a drive or upgrade a computer or reinstall software. He told me that he also builds computers but does not work on Apple computers. Dan is a non-smoker and has a pleasant welcoming personality and was able to stay calm and focused dealing with a stressed-out, aggravated client (me). He called me with status reports exactly when he said he would. I really appreciated that level of responsibility you don't see very often in other businesses. I recommend his Windows computer services to anyone that needs them--even on Valentine's Day. read more

Dan is a very knowledgable and pleasant person. Got my laptop back up and running in less than 2 hours with a very reasonable price!

My computer was stuck in an endless loop after failing to reset properly. It was an issue with Windows. Dan was able to install a fresh Windows 11 onto my PC to fix the issue and my computer is working fine again. Thanks Dan! read more

Mr. Zivetz responded quickly to my request to set up a new lap top for me. He set it up exactly how I wanted it. Later I bought a new printer that he came over and set up to connect by WiFi to my computer. I strongly recommend West LA Computer Expert. read more

Dan is an expert in his field! He is very knowledgeable, very easy to work with, does great work and delivers quickly. He also goes out of his way to take care of his clients. He cloned the data from my old computer to a new drive. He installed the new cloned drive in my new computer. And, he did a great job, quickly, efficiently and perfectly!! Everything works great!! Thank you, Dan! read more

Love Daniel! The best in the business. I trust him completely with my computer. He is reliable on time and honest. Would recommend!

This is the guy for tackling all your PC problems. I pretty much screwed up my PC laptop and plunged myself into online limbo, a pretty dark place. I found Dan on Yelp, phoned him, he was here in under an hour, and saved my helpless butt faster than I could imagine. He nows his stuff, and I highly recommend him and his computer knowledge. read more

Dan helped me on multiple fronts-getting an old computer running smoother, retrieving old photographs, and transferring email account from desk top to laptop. Then he added memory to my laptop at a much lower price than the manufacturer charged. It's rare to find pros who can solve an array of issues, and even rarer to find someone who can do so quickly and transparently. Dan is professional, dedicated and fair. There is a reason for all of the five star reviews! read more

Dan at West LA Computer Expert was fantastic at solving my Automatic Repair loop in Windows 10. He saved my 7 year old work computer from being wiped out, which is what Microsoft support suggested. His service was very quick and very reasonably priced. Highly recommended! read more

Dan is great. I was moving my email domain server from Go Daddy to G Suite and was trying to figure out how to sync my G Suite with my Outlook, while transferring over all of my old contacts/emails/calendars while keeping it all seperate from my personal Gmail account. I spent multiple hours on multiple days trying to figure it out to no avail. Dan comes over and figured it out within an hour. I am insanely impressed. He then pulled some tech wizardry to make my comp run faster. Do not let his humble nature deceive you, he's a legend. read more

perfect service thank you very much for keeping your work. he is a expert in all computers read more

Dan was a dream. He was very much available to take care of my problems. He knows his stuff and saved my whole work life of information that was threatened to disappear. Hi highly regard Dan's character and his working knowledge of all things computer. read more

My computer was very slow and the the charger quit working. I thought I was gonna need to replace it, but Dan took a look and was able to fix it. Now it works better than ever and his fee was very reasonable read more

I have to begin with full transparency; Dan did not end up doing any work for me, but he earned my respect and gratitude by taking the time to listen to me on the phone--and by letting me know that, based on what he heard, he did not think his workshop was adequately equipped to fully diagnose my complex issue. He went on to recommend a competitor--and that competitor was able to solve my problem. You rock, Dan. Your honesty and faith in a world of abundance by sending a Macys customer to Gimbles is a blessing. Thank you. read more

My gaming PC has been down for almost a year now and I could not figure out the issue. I reached out to Dan to check out my desktop and he completely solved the issue. Super nice guy and super responsive. He followed up with me the day after the service just to make sure everything was running smoothly. Great price too read more

Dan went above & beyond our request (that he fix a problem with our email). He helped with our provider, cleaned our whole system, and fixed issues we didn't even recognize as issues. Very quick, knowledgeable, and responsive. And beyond good value. read more

Dan managed to get my TurboTax running after all else failed. Even IT support could not figure it out. I was so excited I had Dan upgrade my hard drive. Computer is now super fast! Thank you again. Highly recommend! read more
