Computer Business Center
2222 Pico Blvd Ste 101, Santa Monica, CA 90405, United States
I’ve been a Computer Business Center client since 2014, as has my brother. Over the years we’ve brought in various business as well as personal computers in for service, repairs, upgrades, etc. Joe always exceeds our expectations. His work is excellent and fairly priced, and his turn around time always meets our needs.Whether it’s a MacBook Air, MacBook Pro, Lenovo, HP, etc., Joe has extended the lives of our computers and saved us thousands of dollars in the process. He’s a professional as well as a great person to do business with. I recommend him highly and so will you!

AVENUE 18 COMPUTER
2118 Wilshire Blvd Unit #511, Santa Monica, CA 90403, United States
I had a pretty awful experience with Avenue 18 computer and the owner.I had a waterdamged computer. I called and enquited about the 65 dollar diagnostic offer that they had and it was stated that they would check my commputer for 65 dollars to see what was wrong. I was very specific about only wanting basic diagnostics to see what worked and what didnt.The owner picked up my PC (in an old van that was not clean or organized). I do not remember even signing anything. After he left, i realized how much of a vulnerable spot I was in.He kept on mentioning replacing hardware, usb drives, etc - trying to do an up-sell. Whatever, thats fine, i declined.He said the system was zapped, but the hard drives were OK and the SSD had some errors. He told me he copied the contents of the SSD to one of the hard drives. (i didnt ask for that, but that was nice of him).He then sent an invoice when I declined further service. The invoice was listed as being $165! He charged $100 for Standard Field Service Labor. I dont know what that means, as the $65 covered all of the diagnostics that we agreed upon. However, since I had no contract form the start, it put me at a loss - he had my computer and my personal data. I had to pay up or else. Instead of apologizing and adjusting his error for overcharging, he insisted I pay for service not requested ($100 to transfer 128gb? Seriously?). I declined and he argued over text with me. I finally agreed to pay him $80 (which i dont think was reasonable, as it should have been $65 as my word is my word, and his should have been too). He deleted the data he backed up on my hard drive and made me wait an extra day.TL;DR - Dishonest. Agreed to $65 of service and he asked for $165 at time of invoice. I feel vulnerable violated that I trusted this guy with my personal data. Unprofessional. He has lost all trust.EDIT - My reply after owners response below: Im not blaming them for lost data or a damaged computer - Im blaming him and giving a 1 star because he charged me $100 more than we agreed upon. I dont question his technical ability, only his honesty.

Computer Palace
11322 Santa Monica Blvd, Los Angeles, CA 90025, United States
A great experience every time. The owner Navid offers top customer service and very competitive prices. He also stands behind his sales with a Computer Palace warranty on top of what is offered by the manufacturers. He is knowledgeable, helpful, and personable. He is happy to answer even the most basic computer questions.I recommend Computer Palace to everyone on L.A.s Westside who either needs their computer repaired or wants to find something new. It is refreshing to still be able to find a neighborhood computer store with great service, like Computer Palace.

Mac911 Inc - Apple Aut...
2510 Main St Suite A, Santa Monica, CA 90405, United States
Excellent service! I needed a battery for my 2019 MacBook Pro. Im pretty handy, so I youtubed how to replace the battery - forget it, its VERY complicated and a genius is needed. It would take almost a week for Apple to replace, but only took 24 hrs at Mac 911 (once I had the battery!). They supplied all the necessary information, were pleasant and my computer was returned with a new battery, and all cleaned up! Will definitely come back!!

PC Quick Digital Services
1959 Cloverfield Blvd Suite 114, Santa Monica, CA 90404, United States
I would 100% recommend his services to anyone needing to fix a PC. My computer had absolutely crashed and not only did he he completely fix it quickly and save all my files but I was blown away by his professionalism and honesty. He was upfront with the problems he saw and communicated what the potential outcomes would be from the outset. I cannot recommend his business enough for anyone that needs PC work done. There is no one else I will bring my computer to again other than PC Quick Digital Services moving forward

The last time I visited Apple 3rd Street, the store was between Wilshire and Arizona, but today I found it between Broadway and Santa Monica. The new location is really beautiful and has great customer service. What other computer company allows you to bring your laptop to a store for in-person support.Genius bar appointment was pleasant and efficient. Loyal customer here for life. Thank you, Bradley.
