When I called and asked if they work on MacBooks, they said yes. When I brought in mine, which wasn't powering on, and asked them to check the power rails and power path to narrow down the cause, they said no problem. A couple days later they called and said they blew fans on it and it wasn't powering on. I asked them if they checked the power rails and they said no but they'd look at it further. When I came back in to pick it up, they recommended I go to another place that works on macs. While they were nice and agreed to look at in further, I felt like they didn't really have much experience with Macs based on their minimal troubleshooting plan. read more

Just drove to Computer clinic and visited my first trip. I wanted to look around and speak to someone to see the general awareness of systems. Good looking, relaxed atmosphere and fantastic feedback/ knowledge from Jake is a pleasant outcome. I requested a cpu/ microprocessor replacement (i5 245k to i7 270k). I explained my concern, MOBO sockets have the pins and the CPU/ BGA just has pads, and in my day it was the other way around. Since I've had macula off retinal detachment in my R. eye and multiple retinal tears/ surgeries in my left doing it myself without possibly bending pins compelled me to get help. And I stated that I would supply thermal paste and processor. Jake provided a written quote and was overtly careful to remove the nominal charge for in house thermal paste. He showed concern for the misery of 8 eye procedures. But we also enjoyed a chat about technique spreading the paste. Two days later I brought the system in and in 24 hours I had it back. Clean, no smeared paste, secured, the system is physically as I delivered it. Once home I checked operating temperatures, device manager, and several other things. All systems are functional. I'm not a gamer and I am picky about stuff running at startup so changing a few things from automatic to manual, turning off Intel application optimization, and deleting an orphaned startup icon is all I needed- btw the icon was the malware/ virus scan shortcut. Next, was going to be a gpu upgrade, pny 5060 8gb to asus dual 5060ti 16gb OC. I did that myself, carefully with plenty of light. Thank you Jake (Computer Clinic).. Outstanding! If you bring them a computer neglected and abused don't dump on them when they can't make it like new. They may work a miracle but you cannot escape your responsibility. read more

I have been using Computer Clinic/Brentech for about 30 years. I don't use them often, because I don't have problems, but when I do, their always there. The are professional and extremely knowledgeable in what they do. Scott was able to fix my problem today, over the phone and in a very short period of time. I have zero tech skills and he walked me right through it. I truly appreciated his help. Thanks for your help, Robin A. read more

It took me a while to get around to writing this review, but Brentech Managed IT Solutions truly saved my business. The IT company I originally hired for what they assured me was a simple job that should take 4-5 hours turned it into a month-long disastrous nightmare. Each "fix" left me in worse shape than before. Thankfully, a woman in my business networking group heard about my situation and recommended I call Brentech. After describing my predicament, Brentech scheduled an appointment for the next day. I was introduced to Josh, who, within a couple of days, managed to piece back together 20 years of client data, business contacts, files, and email communications. Losing this information would have seriously crippled my business, at a minimum. I am forever grateful and wouldn't hesitate to refer them to anyone in need of IT solutions. I have to admit, when I first arrived at their office, I was concerned. My initial impression was one of doubt--beat-up furniture, a serious need for fresh paint and flooring, just plain worn down. I suspect few of their clients ever enter their office. If you do need to visit in person, don't let the office fool you. The brains and expertise are what truly count. read more

We have a Synology NAS that would not power on. I called a number of computer repair shops, but none were familiar with these types of devices. When I called Computer Clinic they said that they were familiar with them and offered to have a look. They were able to identify the problem and fix it at a very reasonable cost. Although I did not request rush service, they had it turned around within one day. They will have all my business from now on. read more

My desktop computer stopped working, acting as if it was maybe corrupted. I took it to Computer Clinic/BrenTech in Rancho Penasquitos. After a couple of days, they had the problem identified and resolved. The cost was reasonable, way cheaper than buying a new computer. Thank you! read more

I took my laptop in for a broken hinge. They ended up cracking my screen and having to replace it. After three months of going back to them because the screens they were buying were faulty, and kept giving me issues with phantom touch, they still did not replace the screen correctly, and it was never flush with the surface of the laptop. This caused the screen to crack easily. So what started as a very simple hinge replacement ended up causing me months of inconvenience and at the end of it all, a broken laptop for a reason I didn't even bring it in for. To their credit, they did their best to work with me and did not charge me when they were trying to "fix" their mistakes. They are also very kind people. I was as patient as possible, but in the end they had poor quality of work, and now I have to take it somewhere else. I would not recommend their service. read more

I brought in an older pc and a new pc to get the older pc cloned to the new pc. However, while I saw lots of files new on the newer pc and I knew they were from the older PC, they were randomly distributed in the pc. The older pc was completely unfunctional. It had a hard drive but no operating system because it had been removed. I was VERY unhappy. I brought it back and they reinstalled Windows 11. After discussions with them, I understood what why they did but it was not cloning the older pc. I needed that older PC for a project I was going to do after it was cloned. I assumed that if they had a problem cloning, they would call me and let me decide what to do. Now it will take a long, long time to restructure and distribute data properly across the PCs. I won't use them again because I can't trust them again. I don't understand why they would send back a perfectly good PC that was unfunctional and think I would accept it. Be careful with them and make sure the know what and how to do what you want them to do!!! read more

November 2019 RE: Brentech COMPUTER CLINIC in Rancho Penasquitos/San Diego I want to thank you Dan and Scotty for helping me upgrade my Windows 7 computer(s) to Windows 10. Your prices are fair and I appreciate that you itemize the prices of the work that will need to be done, allowing me to choose what I need and want but mostly that you talk in plain and easy to understand terms, so that even a 'dumb blonde' can grasp it. And Scotty even answered a few back-to-back phone questions as I was learning my new WIN10. I highly recommend Brentech/Computer Clinic to any person that needs certified Microsoft expert help. Thanks again guys from a loyal customer. read more

I've been bringing my computers here for years. It's local and I've always been able to drop off my computer and most times it's been repaired and ready for pick-up same day. No matter who you talk to they are always pleasant and never make me feel dumb for not knowing what's wrong. Even better? To this point over countless visits there's never been a problem they couldn't resolve. read more

I was so disappointed with my experience here. I brought in my laptop that needed a new fan. I had seen an error message as such. They took it and determined that yes it needed a new fan, but fortunately there were no other problems they said. They ordered the fan, and it took 2 weeks to come in to the location that they ordered it from. When that company received it, it was shipped to Brentech, but instead of Brentech requesting it be shipped over night or two day, it took another WEEK to arrive. I then had to call several times to see if it was in because they told me the wrong day. After I picked it up, I brought it home, plugged it in and was unable to log into any websites. I kept getting an error message about the date not agreeing with the site's certificate. I called Brentech and they suggested a few things that didn't work. I told him about the message about the date and he said "that's strange" and that he had had to adjust the date when he "updated the bios". He then asked if I wanted to bring it back in! Well, duh! I just picked it up and now it wasn't working so of course I was going to bring it back. When I brought it in, the technician also couldn't log into any sites. He told me it was a "Facebook" problem, then he said it was a "Firefox" problem. After guessing a few times, he asked if I wanted to leave it so he could run a scan because he thought it was corrupted. I agreed because at that moment I didn't feel I had any choice. However, when he started writing up a work order and said it would be ANOTHER $89, (I had paid almost 300 for the total repair already), I couldn't believe it. I had literally picked it up from them just hours earlier, and it was supposedly fine. I said forget it, and I took it back home. I ran a virus scan which found nothing. Then for some reason I looked at the date and realized that the date was set to January instead of June. I corrected the date...and everything worked fine from then on. So I fixed the problem that was created by Brentech! But they would have charged me to look into it further. That's not even close to good customer service. I don't recommend anyone go here. To see where I do recommend, see my other reviews. read more

My computer had been acting up for a while and I was getting worried since I use it for the office. I took my computer to Brentech, got a call 2 hours later saying my computer is in good shape, just needs more memory to keep up. They had my computer ready by the end of the SAME day I dropped it off and everything, parts and labor, was under 150.00!!! Before I came, someone else gave a quote of $400 and was told me I probably needed a new computer. These guys are honest and do incredible work! My computer is working like new and I couldn't be happier!! read more

Great service and troubleshooting. They were able to find the problem with my daughter's gaming PC (bad Windows USB key) and even went the extra mile to re-install Windows 10, which saved me hours of work. read more

Brentech is a great locally owned company which provides exceptional customer service for clients. We have taken our business computers from Tate and Son contractors and our personal laptops in for services and always pleased with the speed of services and quality of repairs. The other day Brentech went above and beyond when our charger for a critical unit went down he helped us out while we were waiting for a replacement component. This is a shop that knows how to take care of its clients. As it turns out we have even worked for some of his family members in the PQ area as he set up shop in his own neighborhood to be close with family. Can't say enough about this place.

I had a laptop & the fan on it wasn't running, causing it to get very hot. Because the fan was incredibly difficult to access on this particular laptop, I decided I needed to take it in. Computer Clinic was near my house, so I stopped in & left the computer with Scotty, who was He got the fan working again promptly (I picked the computer up the next day) & also did some hardware and virus checks. Scotty also showed me the proper way to clean dust from the fan. The service was great and I would definitely recommend them, particularly if you live in Rancho Penasquitos or nearby.

I love what it can do for me, but I can't stand the viruses and other issues that slow it down and threaten the security of my information.

More importantly, I feel that my confidential information is secure and that I won't be charged unreasonable fees. What more can I ask for? read more
