Let's get the reason for the loss of a star out of the way - Communication could be better. I am a gamer. I have an MSI gaming laptop. I started having issues with my video card overheating, despite being on a cooling pad. After some research I determined that the issue was that the fans were probably either dead or failing and needed to be replaced. I called Adrian, who was able to pick up my laptop at my house and returned it to my house (sweet!). It did take almost 2 weeks for my laptop to be repaired as it is a computer that he doesn't usually work on so he didn't have spare parts just lying around (completely cool - I knew that was doing to happen). I had to reach out to him a few times for updates though. He also suggested that while he had it open he could upgrade the RAM which is a no brainer for me. All in all it works great - no issues now. I would recommend AZ Computer Services. read more

I got scammed by this service. I paid almost 700$ to " fix " my gaming PC. When Adrian delivered the computer, he assured me that the computer was fixed and it is not. The game crashing problems remain. I tried contacting him for the last three weeks and he never responded. He also never provided me with an invoice for his services. Do not make the same mistake as me and ask for his services. read more

What a sham this business is, scamming people of their money. Shame on you, Adrian. The owner is quick to get you in the door and charge your credit card, but he doesn't care about you or your data after that. ASK FOR EVERYTHING IN WRITING, and do not take him at his word. When I arrived to this home-office with my device (October 2025), he told me that the diagnostic charge he had quoted me over the phone ($150) was ACTUALLY $250. By that time, I had already driven 30 minutes to get there, so I hesitantly agreed to the $250 charge, and proceeded with the (verbal only) agreement that he would run diagnostics on my device. After that - I never received even an email, invoice, or receipt from him - NOTHING! I got a phonecall a few days later, in which he old me the data is not recoverable and I might as well toss the device, because it's useless. I picked up my device immediately, and shipped it off to a real company for accurate diagnostics. I will be disputing this with my credit card company, and going to the BBB if I have to. read more

My computer broke down, and my daughter found me a place with excellent recommendations. Consequently, I visited AZ; the owner, Adrian, performed a diagnostic analysis to repair my computer and charged $300.00 for his services. This is where my ordeal began: the estimated repair time was two hours, yet he didn't return the computer to me until five hours later. When I received it, the computer was covered in poorly applied glue--so much so that if I touch it, the whole thing threatens to fall apart. To make matters worse, due to his shoddy work, I cannot even use the computer because the keyboard settings are completely messed up. In short, the quality of his work is abysmal. But my situation didn't end there; I called him to explain that I was dissatisfied with his work and that my keyboard wasn't functioning. Mr. Adrian responded with offensive language and a complete lack of professionalism, stating that while he *could* take another look at it if I wanted, doing so would incur an additional cost. I thought long and hard before writing about my grievance--especially since he threatened me with legal action via his lawyers--but I ultimately decided to speak out. I realized that just as I suffered through this negative experience, there must be others who have gone through the same thing; however, because Mr. Adrian is so intimidating, people often prefer to simply stay silent and say nothing. Exercise extreme caution before hiring the services of this company. read more

See all

Where do I start. I overpaid for everything, he didn't get approval before charging me, i told him I needed a keyboard and he gave me one with no box and didn't even get my approval/opinion about make and model, charged me 3x what I could buy it for myself. He also wiped my entire computer as a "standard" practice. Run, don't walk. read more

This owner is a crook. I do have his charges on my card. Also, he said he was going to send me a warranty and a copy of the paperwork, and I am still waiting. Liar a big time. DO NOT DEAL with him!! read more

AZ Computer Services - IT Services & Computer Repair Near Me - Gaithersburg, Maryland

I want rate negative 5 stars, but only have 1 star. I asked power jack and mouse not working, so I took cpu and mouse and power code. So Adorian said need diagnose. i paid $158 for that, few day after he colled me ready to pick up, he also charge $580 for fix probrems. Then I started cpu and one time turn on, my all data has gone and cpu never on again. Amaingly horrible repair shop!!!!! read more

What a nightmare. Brought my laptop in Friday 8/31 for repair and was told that the price for diagnosis is $150 which would be deducted from any repairs. I was also told I would get an estimate in 24-48 hrs. When I got home and recorded the receipt it said $157.50, I thought that was odd but figured it must be taxes. 3 days later on Tuesday he finally called and said the repair would be $483 LESS the 150. On the same phone call he came back and said 'oh wait the price is $483 plus the $150 I had already paid. Reluctantly I came to pick it up today 9/3/2025 and guess what--the price was now $509.25 due to a 5% surcharge for credit cards which was NEVER mentioned in any discussion. To top it off he REFUSED to give me a paper receipt claiming he would send it via email--and guess what ---the receipt never came . I called him back on the phone and he said "we sent the receipt" I said please resend---he said no he will not. Would not even give me the courtesy of a receipt. Now what happens if the computer breaks down? I have no proof of purchase. Basically i just got defrauded. Now hopefully this guy will do the right thing. I have never seen anything like this. Stay away is my advice. NOTE: The response below from AZ Computers contains false information. The reason I brought it in was random crashes and after paying $600 + dollars it STILL crashes randomly. And yes I did contact them within hours of picking the computer up to: Ask for an itemized receipt and report the continued crashing. Once again the owner told me he emailed a receipt (which I never received) and when asked to resend he refused. I also emailed him and texted him about the continued crashing and receive NO response. WARRANTY you say? read more

Did a good job of diagnosing and recommending . Prompt and detailed . Professional. Responsive.

Adrian from AZ Computer Services found viruses on my computer and other problems, and he efficiently cleaned up the computer and installed virus protection. He was on time, personable and skilled. I highly recommend this company. read more

Excellent, efficient, and very knowledgeable! Highly recommend. If you ever need computers fixed this is your guy!

If I could, i'd make the review a 2.5 stars, but i'm not able to. Adrian was a decent guy. Came by my house and told me he had to take my PC to his place to "diagnose" it. I'm not too informed with computers or else I would've done this myself, but I hoped for the best leaving it in his hands. It was urgent for me to get this done so I might've been too quick to jumping the gun on this transaction. One of my SSD's wasn't working whatsoever and I wanted to see if it could be repaired or salvaged in some way. He was very quick with responding. There seemed to be a mistake in the communication because he didn't do anything with the SSD that ended up being dead and I had to go to get a new one regardless. The memory wasn't recovered, but it's not the end of the world since it wasn't important information. I practically paid him almost $1k to clean up the pc, throw some thermal paste on the cpu, and allocate memory which i just learned in 5-10 minutes and did with the new SSD. It was my first time with this type of service and I ended up stressed at the end of the day. Down a lot of money and had to get a new SSD at Best Buy on my way back home from picking up the PC. Lost a lot in this transaction with little to no value of the service. The positives is that he was decent, quick with responding, and efficient in timing, but that's not much to say for a couple minutes of storage allocation. I personally believe I deserve compensation since I paid way more than I should have, but what am I going to do ‍ Anyways, I hope this was helpful. I hope for others to have a better experience than I did. read more

After almost a month of fighting with a gaming desktop, having replaced the PSU, RAM and reinstalling Windows on two of four SSD's I called AZ Computers. They charged me $155.90 upfront to pick up mu PC and perform a diagnostic. Two days later they called and said I had a short and wanted $650 to re-wire it. I declined and had them drop it off. I replaced the Motherboard, cpu and rewired the entire unit myself only to find I had the same boot issue/automatic repair. Spoke to another shop, they suggested a a fresh SSD with a fresh copy of Windows on ALL my SSD's and guess what, it works. AZ took $155.90 for nothing! I'd never let them work on another of my PC's!!!! read more

This is the second time I have used the services of this company and I have been totally satisfied with their professional and high quality repair work for my laptop, their responsiveness, and punctuality!! Thank you very much!, Adrian. read more

I brought two failed hard drives to Mr. Zegarra. I explained to him that one had failed from age and use and the other, my backup HD, had died because it had fallen to the floor (roughly 18 inches) 3 times. I also told Mr. Zegarra that I had tried connecting both hard drives to my PC as external drives (I have the necessary equipment to do this) with no luck. I further explained that I had opened the backup HD in the hope of fixing it myself and, after failing, when I reassembled it, I was unable to get all the screws fully in place. This was EVIDENT by the way two of the screws stood out from their proper seats. Standing outside his house or business, Mr. Zegarra came up to my car and all the above was done out on the street. Mr. Zegarra told me that he would try to recover data from the HDs; I told him to start with the still sealed drive. IF successful, there was no need to look at the other since it was a backup of the first. Mr. Zegarra then told me there was a non-refundable $150 "diagnostic" fee and that it would take him about two weeks to work on the drives. I FOOLISHLY agreed to the above without any written contract. JUST TWO DAYS later, Mr. Zegarra called to tell me that both Hard Drives were dead. EXACTLY what I had told him up front! He told me that he was unable to retrieve any data and told me that he would deliver the drives to my home at no charge. He called back a few minutes later and told me there would be a DELIVERY CHARGE. When I declined, he told me that I would need to pick the drives up in Gaithersburg. I agreed. He then called me again to tell me he was in Maryland close to the DC border but would be in Leisure World that is very near my home. Ironically, at the moment of this call, i was in Costco in Gaithersburg, a few miles from his home/business address. He tried to convince me to go to his home and wait for him, telling me he could be there within 20 minutes. Remember, he was down near the DC border. NO WAY could he go from there to Leisure World, take care of business there and get home in 20 minutes. I did NOT want to sit around waiting for him! I asked him to deliver the hard drives to my home and leave them in my mail box. My home is no more than 5 minutes from Leisure World. He balked but agreed to do so. When I got home, the drives were safely in my mail box. I examined them and was SHOCKED to see that NEITHER had been opened! The out of place screws that I had left that way in the HD I opened were in exactly the same position. The FACTORY SEALS were still in place on the other hard drive. Then began a series of requests from me to Mr. Zegarra asking for a WRITTEN description of the work he had done to "diagnose" the two hard drives since neither had been opened. IF all he had done, if anything, was to connect the hard drives to try to read them, I already told him that failed! I sent him emails and text messages requesting a WRITTEN description of the work he allegedly did in 2 days time. He REFUSED to do so. He did call me and tried to give me a verbal explanation, but that was NOT suitable and not what I requested. In the end, Mr. Zegarra got $150 for work that, as far as I can tell, was NEVER done! His failure to provide a written description of work he allegedly did suggests that he did NOTHING and took the money under false pretenses. This failure also told me that he is NOT an honorable person. I agree with Cristofer S. - AVOID this business! Interesting that Mr. Zegarra responds to all the people who had a bad experience with this business "we don't have any record of you ever having visited us. Maybe you have us confused with another company? In case he decides to respond the same way to my review, I am POSITIVE that I dealt with Adrian Zegarra personally. IF there is no record, it is because he works without written contracts. I DO have my credit card receipt! read more

If I could give 0 I would ! Take advantage of customers. Refuse to fix a problem that they caused. Charged me Almost 600 dollars ! For a MacBook screen read more

I just phoned this repair store today 9/6/23 @4:10pm. The person who answered the phone was very abrupt and spoke with me very harshly. when he had decided who I was he would not give me the address, and said he could look at my computer for diagnostics in 5 days but i could not make an appointment until I paid him today $85. When I inquired again for his location, he hung up on me. CERTAINLY WILL NOT SPEND MY MONEY HERE. read more

Today I took my laptop to Geek Squad Shady Grove, Gaithersburg, Unfortunately, they could not fix it claiming they did not have the tools to open it- ( I found that very strange) but they mentioned AZ computer services. After talking to a guy I agreed to take my computer to him. However, when in the phone, I noticed a hurried/rude tone of voice. When I got to the place, this man was nothing but rude. Very hurried, proud and feeling like the VIP. Additionally, while he mentioned the fees he charges never mentioned the additional fees depending on the method of payment. What did made me very uncomfortable was his attitude, very rude and hurried. I declined to used his services. He was very unhappy and said in a rude tone of voice- "Thank you for making me waste my time" got into his car and drove away. I am wondered if his treatment towards to me was because I am a woman. He will never do that to a man, I am sure. I felt nothing but sorry for this guy. He will continue to fix computers but with that attitude that is the further that will get. read more

Top notch and excellent service. I was about to buy a new MacBook, but thought I would see how far I could get with the repair shop. And these guys came through, installing new software, fixing my corrupt hard drive, and really making it new for a fraction of the price. Couldn't be happier and would definitely recommend them for any computer repair needs. read more

This was my first attempt at finding IT support on Yelp and major fail. The guy showed up, took my laptop and TWELVE days later I got it back, supposedly because he opened it up and broke a wire (why did he need to open it for a virus clean???)...only it's Not My Laptop! I'm not stupid enough to be told I'm wrong. I know the feel of my laptop like most of us know our phones. And when the USB connection doesn't work 'turn it off and back on again' is NOT going to help. After more than a week using this device, I am simultaneously wondering 1) what did he do with mine? 2) how much of my digital personal life has been sold off? 3) should I press charges? And 4) who can I possibly trust to fix my (new to me) machine that now has several glitches? Oh and 5) he told me I needed a new printer cartridge to make my printer work? Nope. Tried the old: take it out, shake it. Put it back. Works fine. Should I sue for the $50 printer cartridge that I bought, too? Honestly, I have always been a trusting person and NEVER posted a negative review on Yelp, which I use a lot. But I am so disappointed in this, it will take me a long time to trust reviews again. Do not use these guys ever. read more

Can't say enough good things about Adrian! He's been fast and reliable in all my families computer work for over 10 years. He's always on top of my repair, big or small. His personalized service is what brings him over the top. Don't overlook the entrepreneurs out here! He will take good care of you for years to come And stands behind his work. read more

Adrian knows cabling, ethernet jacks, security cameras, virus removal, wifi setup, more.

I normally do not do bad reviews but the way he handle the call is not acceptable. Super defensive and borderline annoyed that I was calling. Towards the end he said, "we do not do walk-ins by the way", and hung up before me being able to say anything back. This is not how you treat a potential customer. From reading other reviews, it looks like a bunch of other people have experienced the same. As a small business owner, you should be talking to customers in a COMPLETELY different manner. read more

My daughter accidentally formatted her sdk disk and I thought they were gone . I called AZ and they were able to recover the 2,000 files that were on the formatted disk . He told me ahead of time they may not recover all, but they got them . I highly recommend them . read more

Adrian installed Windows 10 on my desktop and did a fine job. He replaced my hard drive as well. He knows his stuff. Pricing is fair and reasonable. Highly recommended. read more

I did not want to use Best Buy - it is just so sterile and meh in those stores and I was determined to find a locally-owned and operated one person -shop! I found him! Adrian was very professional, knowledgeable, calm, helpful, easy to talk to, and very accommodating. And his home office was so clean, neat, really good signage, etc. he is very professional and you can tell he takes pride in his business. For sure hire him! He did a wonderful job and it was fast service for what we had done. Thank you, Adrian! truly grateful for your help! read more

Please please! I beg you to avoid this place at all cost. Adrian never explained what was wrong with my computer and he was always rude since the moment I took my pc there. He was always on a hurry as if fixing my pc didn't matter. Also, he said that my gpu (3060ti) was broken and proceed to "recycle it"" without even asking me if I wanted to keep it or something. After that, I picked up my pc and when I got home I realized that they forgot to give me my AC power cable which resulted in me going back to their place wasting my time and gas just to get the AC cord back. Going to this place was just such a horrible experience! read more

If I could give Adrian six stars I would. Have used him twice now for computer repairs and couldn't be happier. Great price, quick turnaround, and just a great experience. read more

Adrian represents the entrepreneurial spirit that has made this country great (and that we certainly need more of). Sans appointment or previous servicing, Adrian made time for me immediately on a very rainy Saturday afternoon. He not only replaced my MacBook's battery but also made sure to clean the interior casing of debris, which could potentially cause headaches in the future. Extremely affable, professional and dedicated to his growing business, Adrian provided a level of service that exceeded all expectations and is far beyond what you would receive at a traditional retailer. With servicing complete in well under a hour, I was able to enjoy the rest of the day without the need to sacrifice countless hours waiting for the completion of repair. read more

Went for emergency repair, very rude, thought he was better than everyone else so he could charge more money. He knew he would reformat hard drive without even attempting to restore. Go to geek squad, more honest. read more

Highly responsive. Called back quickly and completed the job in just a day. I needed a new screen and battery.
