I am on a fixed budget and needed an upgrade. The thing that I appreciated about Neil is that he is willing to work with you based on your budget and needs. You just have to communicate, open up a working dialogue, and hear out all the options. Neil found me a refurbished Lenovo ThinkPad with all the right features and software. He could have also sourced me a new gaming laptop with the best speeds and processing power but of course- out of my budget. If you get to know Neil, you realize he does care about his clients and wants to make things right. So far I am satisfied with my laptop computer and if I run into an issue I can always call him and he'll do his best to help - obviously within reason.

~ I am a very happy recurring 2+yrs Customer ~ * Services provided by Neil October.2018 Dear Yelp'ers, Neil, Bay Area Computer Repairs, in my experience a SUPERSTAR! I am wow'ed by Neil's service over and over again. The most recent service provided; I have a brand new laptop Windows 10 I purchased in 2016. This laptop never worked well. It had countless Windows 10 updates and if it was not updating then DELL was updating. I felt like I could not use this laptop it was too busy updating!!! It was also slow, and finally would not boot-up. Feeling like I had a "lemon", and now it's out of warranty, I brought it to Neil. Doing a diagnostic he found the registry had been corrupt due to Windows 10 update! Neil went straight to work on my laptop. He insured my data was backed up, he did a factory reset (wiped the HD) AND in less than 48-hrs I now have a like-new Laptop!!! The best part Neil listened to my complaints about the way the computer was running, and what I do NOT like about Windows 10. When I brought my laptop home and booted it up I was SO HAPPY and surprised everything I hoped to change about my experience with my laptop and Windows 10... Neil made all my dreams come true! I even have "Windows Classic View Start Menu", Neil de-cluttered unnecessary Windows & Dell features that I do not want, and do not need. Thank You Neil, I couldn't be happier with my experience working with you at Bay Area Computer Repairs! read more

I recently had the pleasure of using the computer repair services provided by Neil and I must say, I am thoroughly impressed. From start to finish, the experience was seamless and professional. Firstly, scheduling an appointment was a breeze. Their website offered a user-friendly interface where I could easily input my information and select a convenient time slot. Within minutes, I received a confirmation email detailing the appointment details. Upon arrival, the technician, John, greeted me with a warm smile and immediately got to work assessing the issue with my computer. His expertise was evident from the get-go, as he quickly diagnosed the problem and explained the necessary repairs in layman's terms. Throughout the repair process, John kept me informed every step of the way, providing updates on the progress and estimated completion time. He was courteous, knowledgeable, and went above and beyond to ensure that my computer was functioning optimally before he left. The quality of the repair work was exceptional, and my computer now runs like new. Additionally, the pricing was fair and transparent, with no hidden fees or surprises. Overall, I couldn't be happier with the service I received from Neil . Their professionalism, expertise, and commitment to customer satisfaction truly set them apart. I wholeheartedly recommend their services to anyone in need of computer repair assistance. read more

I needed to recover data from my internal hard drive which had failed. I wasted my time with Best Buy's Geek Squad, only to explain them how to do their own job properly They analyzed the backup drive and not the main drive... and insightfully diagnosed it to be empty - I could have told them so myself. After what they told me they weren't equipped with the technology to read my Solid State internal hard drive - that is, after I pointed out to them which internal hard drive had data that needed to be recovered -, that The drive would have to send it out to a lab, and it would cost like $3600. and would take 6 to 8 weeks.i did not agree with the price too high decided to get second try.Went online did some research found Bay Area Computer Repairs i setup an appointment, Neil is geniuses.Had a five star experience at this place.He told me the drive lost its partition. I thought lost all my pics and neil did his best and got all the pics and docs back. I had valuable family pics from 2006 all over my laptop on pics docs desktop folders and had to organized them again but at least it was alll recovered.

I wish I could give Coastside Computer Repair more stars!!!! They were fantastic! Fair! Effective! Friendly! And most of all HONEST!!! I made a appointment with Neil this morning for most effective way to fix my problem, I was there at 10 am, Neil look at my computer discuss the pricing and I agreed on the price and he ordered the part right away I (needed a new hard drive) the price was VERY FAIR. My laptop was ready in in 2 days cause the part takes time to come. What I have to mention, is that yesterday I went to best buy, such a rip-off, they were going to charge me $250.00 just too look at it and I would have been without my laptop for 2 weeks because the technician said he would have to "order" the part. Not nice!!! When the hard drive they sell was on the store. Highly recommended if anyone want to use his service. read more

Neil was generous to come to my house and within a sec he was able to find the fault in my computer.

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!

Seeing a company rated 5 stars is rare but then after the service the Micheal gave to my computer at a great pice, he was able to clean everything and run everything back to almost when my computer was new. Very straight forward and assuring on getting my computer fixed and up and running. Highly recomend them and i know if anything else happens to my computer im hitting TechinSF first. They really rep earning those 5 stars.

In both cases I felt they evaluated the problems well and provided great solutions at a reasonable cost. I can recommend this business for your computer maintenance needs strongly. However, it is advised that the customer communicate clearly about expectations during the diagnosis phase. That is, if you want Pacifica Computer Pros to contact you *after* they have determined the next steps in solving your problem, but *before* spending your money to solve it, you should make this clear to them.
