The screen had lines and would black out, making the laptop unusable. When I took it to the Apple Store, I was quoted $1,100 just to send it in for diagnosis, or $1,400 for a new laptop. I contacted two other repair shops, but they didn't handle Macs or water damage. Thankfully, I found San Francisco Bay Computer Services. They quoted me $467 for the repair, which included a screen with the Apple logo. I paid a 50% deposit, and they ordered the part, which arrived in just one day. I dropped off the laptop in the morning and picked it up the same day--fully repaired and working perfectly! They also provided a 30-day warranty on labor and assured me the parts have a manufacturer warranty. To top it off, I received a 20% discount on labor for my next visit (not that I hope to need it anytime soon!). Ed was responsive on the phone and texted me when laptop was ready for pickup. Their professionalism, efficiency, and fair pricing make them stand out. I highly recommend this business to anyone in need of computer repairs, especially for Macs!

Not a simple problem to diagnose, no matter how many Reddit posts I read! Took it to this shop, and the problem was solved in about 2 days, and the price was extremely reasonable. My experience exceeded expectations in every way!

I can't rely 100% on my own limited experience. David Mitroff (the man in the picture) was extremely generous with his time over the phone. I told him abt a potentially risky sales contract I was considering. He took at least 20 minutes to go over with me how I can mitigate that risk and what I should do to prepare for negotiation. He did not have to do that. But he wanted to make sure I didn't get scr3w3d over. He didn't want to see me fail. For that reason, Piedmont Avenue will be the first place I come to once I'm ready for a deeper strategic conversation and more hands-on assistance. Will update once I have more to say. Thanks David!

I have no idea what's on it or how long it was, but was able to work with Paul for $35 + $10 additional for a higher resolution. There was also another $8 fee for the digital copy.

The studio could be a little hard to find, but gave Paul a call when I was outside and he walked over to grab me. Appreciated that!

This is more shocking than Jordan going to play baseball or Barry Sanders retiring in the midst of his prime. Streets are already calling me Johnny "What If" Novo, but I know it's time. I had to look in the mirror and have that God-honest conversation with myself that elite athletes seemingly always put off until it's too late. "Do you still love it enough to compete at the highest level? Is the hunger still there to wake up at 5am to write 3 reviews before the workday?" The answer, my dear reader, is no. I've always told myself I would leave the game before I cheat the game. Sticking around just to feel the love from the fans, shake hands, kiss babies, and rack up sponsorship deals would be cheating the game that I fell so deeply in love with as a little kid. While I feel my pen is better than ever, I don't have the time, bandwidth, or energy to keep up with the generational greats like Marianne W and Phil H, or the young hungry lions coming up looking to make a name for themselves. The blessing of being well fed has cursed me to not be hungry. I'd love to sit here and thank Yelp, but they've done next to nothing for me even though I promoted their platform relentlessly for the past 3 years. So why did I do it? For pure love of the dying genre that is the written word. I will be focusing more on short stories and a novel. I have a few ideas that light a fire in me that I can no longer ignore.

This is one of the worst companies I have ever done business with. They allow anyone to post…read morereviews and complaints, even people who were never customers. False and misleading information can remain online and damage a business's reputation. When you contact their support team for help, they seem to look for every possible reason not to assist you. Instead of investigating legitimate concerns, they hide behind policies and provide little to no meaningful support. As a business owner, it is extremely frustrating to deal with a company that has so much influence over your reputation but so little accountability. I would not recommend relying on this platform if you value fair treatment and responsive customer service.
