This is the absolute best place to go for help with a damaged drive, lost data, and majorly…read moreimportant help when you have a serious data recovery issue. I was hesitant at first because you want to make sure you are going to the best place and getting the best value. I found it here and then some. Data Retrieval in Temecula was able to save all of our files, photos, etc., we are talking years and years of work and memories that we had lost due to serious hard drive damage. It was literally a catastrophe until we found Tim and he saved the day! He is honest. Fair. and extremely talented and knowledgeable. Before this experience, I was very concerned that all was lost and I might lose more money on top of the data I had lost. It turned out that this was the best deal imaginable - the value he has restored to us is incredible and the price reasonable and fair. We were so happy with his service that we left him a huge tip on top of the fee for his work. He is 100% our first choice if I ever have another difficulty with my data storage.

Beware and run away from this fraud!…read more I called Tim and spoke to him about my hard drive issue. I had installed a backup software and it supposedly ran my hard drive so hard that it caused a malfunction. I told him that I took my drive to another local technician and that guy thought it was it a connection issue where it plugs in. But a day later, that guy said it was not and something that he couldn't work on. That's why I contacted Tim because he had better technology to work on newer drives. When I brought the drive in, he looked at and didn't see any visible issues with the physical aspects of the drive. He bragged and boasted about how he's gotten 99% of his customers data back. He talked about how he works with 2 types of people- those who want their data back and those who go through all lengths to make sure their data is lost. At the time of drop off, Tim said he was waiting for a new board to be delivered, that was OUT FOR DELIVERY at that specific time. He would know by the end of the day if he could get my data back, and to stop panicking... everything will be fine. A week went by without any communication so I called him for an update. He hadn't even started my job yet. He blamed it on slow delivery and "the war in Russia..." I called another week later and the new board finally arrived and that he would need a few days and my drive would be ready. Another week later and he said he had to send my drive to the FBI in West Virginia because his new board was not working. I didn't realize the FBI was 'for hire' on data retrieval. Funny, right? It was Friday and he said the drive would returned on Monday. And yet, still no update until another week later. My hard drive is all of sudden broken and none of their tools can help retrieve data. Tim says a "microscopic " scratch and break is why my data cannot be read. He sends me pictures of the broken piece. I can see it in the photo and he would have seen it when I dropped it off. So now he blames the original technician. My drive was NOT broken when I dropped it off but it was returned broken to me. Tim is full of fancy stories...retrieving data that has been smashed by hammers and run over on purpose by cars, thrown in lakes and dropped down 15 stories! He works for the "FBI" and can get any info. Yet...this tiny little scratch is preventing him from getting my data. I think his stories are fake! I don't think he even attempted to get my data. Tim kept saying to me "it's gonna cost some money..." I make tons of money and was willing to invest whatever I needed to get my 2 years worth of data back. Maybe Tim thought I couldn't afford it or maybe he just likes to tell stories. He made matters worse. He is not a professional. He just a guy that copies data and actually lives inside his office with his mattress and curtains. Thursday, March 31- First attempt to pick up my drive and he's not there. I call and he answers in a perky tone, then when I say my name, he's all of sudden changed his tone and he's sick. But he'll be in tomorrow Friday. Wednesday, April 6- second attempt to pick up my hard drive. I call and ask if he will be there and he promptly says YES! Then asks "who is this?" And soon as I told him who I was, he said "I won't be in until much later. I'm still fighting a cold. Like 330pm." I guess that's when the cold is scheduled to end. He said he's going to send me the drive with a tracking number. But given his history of poor communication, I didn't trust him. So we drove over anyways and I had my husband go knock on his door. And guess who's there? Yep, that's right...Tim answered the door for my husband and my hard drive was sitting on the desk. I should have listened to the other reviews. Let's face it...not everyone has great reviews when it comes to data retrieval. I took the one with less risk and as it turns out, these issues with Tim are way more common. I messaged other people who got the same service from Tim and they all said the same thing...delivery, wars, FBI, and a little scratch all got in the way.

Tim is a great guy to work with. He's got decades of experience with hard drive repair and data…read morerecovery he helped me fix the board on my hard drive and it's working like new. He finished the job in like a day or two as well so he's really quick. It's getting harder and harder to find people like him who can and will do the work to fix hard drives. Seagate and other hard drive manufacturers don't care about your data, if it breaks, they won't fix it. They'll just ask you to buy another one and prop up their share price. All I'm saying is that you'll get family friendly levels of customer service with Tim. He won't price gauge you like the big hard drive companies will (talking $800+ with the big corps that do this work).

These guys know their stuff. I had a hard drive that failed back in September, with a TON of…read moreimportant data on it (I know, back it up... doh!) It suddenly started clicking and wouldn't connect to my computer. I had hours and hours of video footage and live/studio music on that drive that we irreplaceable. I called several companies and they all wanted to charge way too much money. Then I found RMLD DataRetrieval in Temecula. They evaluated my hard drive for free and got back to me with a quote within a few hours. The process took a couple of weeks, but I got ALL OF MY DATA back and it was literally half the price of what some other places were charging! There were a couple of damaged files, (only 2 out of thousands) but they were things I didn't need. When I talked to the engineer he said he trained FBI agents on how to do Data Retrieval too! Wow. I'm writing this post now because one of my business partners had a hard drive problem a few weeks ago. I told him "DON'T MESS WITH IT, Take it to RMLD Data Recovery services. He did and now he has all of his data back too. I most definitely recommend these guys. Great work!

Wayne, Words cannot…read morebegin to describe the process from start to finish. I had a 512GB sd card that went bad a few days ago and I was frantically searching for places to assist in this recovery. I sent out a yelp project request and Wayne was one of the few people that was willing to take on the request. Mind you I asked on a weekend and Wayne said to bring it on in for an evaluation. WITHIN MINUTES, saw it was recoverable and so the rest is history. Wayne and his team made sure I knew what was going on through reports and multiple phone calls. I paid additional for rush but STILL ALL WORTH EVERY CENT. Exceeded the standards for sure. Best part is not only the level of service and hospitality, but my data has been saved. So thank you very much Wayne and your team! It may sound as if I'm overexaggerating but honestly come to Wayne and his team and you'll understand where I'm coming from. I will return for future recoveries! -John

Another note to add is that though I belong to the newer generation, my tech experience is very little . He was never condescending. Overall, I would definitely come back should I have another problems with my data!!

It had a cracked screen and the "2" zoom camera is busted. I feel like although this is the case, the 11 is a lot better than my iPhone 8 which I have had since 2015. I tried to reset the phone back to its factory settings, but it was frustrating that I got phantom typing and many frustrating glitches. I decided to look on Yelp and see what the best-rated iPhone repair we is in Temecula. JI repair was on top of the list. It's located in Murrieta and I gave them a quick call. The person I was dealing with was professional and knowledgeable about the repairs. I feel like with investing a little I would have graduated from the eighth version instead of spending more money. Long story short, I stopped by the shop and they offered to replace the damaged screen with a high-quality screen protector and make a repair on my busted camera for only $140 instead of spending $700 or so for a new version. I didn't feel too confident at first about this phone working again. I was surprised that JI did an amazing job and it came out as if it were brand new again. Everything is operating as it should be with no issues at all. The work only took three hours and the price is quite affordable. The technician was thorough with their delivery. Provided the service as expected. I will certainly come back to JI again for all my mobile repairs.
