Talk about great service: Sal volunteered to me (without me asking) on how to do a simple fix myself and where to buy a part at cost -- $150 in work that he was genuine and honest about. You don't see that much anymore and really speaks to how he does business. This is definitely a guy you can take at his word. read more

Don't be confused when the address leads you to a house - Sal works on computers and whatnot from his home. I'd recommend giving Sal a call before swinging by. I have an external hard-drive that bit the dust, and I was hoping to be able to recover the data inside. I brought it to Sal after finding him with all of the positive reviews. Sal took a look, and unfortunately wasn't able to recover the data, since it REALLY bit the dust. I thanked him for his time, and to my surprise, he didn't charge me! Definitely coming to him again for future services. read more

I took my HP Mini laptop to Sal at East Bay Computer Services. It was so full of malware, viruses and who knows what that it was useless. Sal cleaned it up so I can use it again, charged less than other computer repair businesses in the area and had it done the next day. Thumbs up to East Bay Computer Services!

Sal is the BEST. I gave him a call about a broken Toshiba laptop (charging issues) and he told me to bring it in right away. He was able to get back to me in two days or so. The repairs required welding which was out of his range but he took the time to explain what was wrong and what needed to be done. Didn't charge me anything. He is professional, knowledgeable and his passion for computers is very evident. He was very easy to reach by phone and was also very accommodating to my schedule. Definitely recommend Sal and his services! read more

My computer has problems connecting to any internet or wifi source and I couldn't understand what the problem is. Looked on yelp for computer fixing in my area and found Sal! With the great reputation that he have here I was amazed to find out how comfortable his prices are. Great experience! He found out that I have lots of viruses on my computer he took care of it for 3 days in a row running scans and cleaning it up of any viruses. Also he upgraded my anti virus program without me even asking for that. All of this for a ridiculous price and great service with updated and contact all along the process. He let me know that he can get it done in one day but suggested that if its not urgent I'll leave it so he can get better results than what I asked for. Which he did! Thank you Sal Highly recommended!!! read more

Sal is awesome! My laptop wasn't turning on so I brought it to Sal to take a look. He took time and figured out that my hard drive was the issue. Did he not only replace my hard drive, he backed up all my files and got everything back to work in a tip top shape. He is friendly and is very affordable! Highly highly recommend!! read more

After trying to do everything I knew I could to fix pc on my own I called it quits and decided to inquire the help of others Gotta say that I was a little hesitant at first leaving my pc at someone's house, but don't let that discourage you! Sal is extremely professional and the best part is he texts you periodically to let you know how the progress is going so you're never in the dark about things. AND his prices are super competitive! Literally HALF of what most other places were quoting me. Sal is definitely the guy to go to. You will not be disappointed with his service. I guarantee it. read more

Hands down 5-star service! Great customer service, fast turnaround, and honest credible advice. This review is slightly belated, but I had to make sure that I represented. My son had seriously abused his laptop, it was berated with viruses, add-ons, etc. I was contemplating getting a new laptop because it is sometimes more expensive to repair a computer than it is to simply buy a new one...but I knew there had to be a better way. I found this place on yelp and decided to give it a try...so glad that I did! within two days he had my son's laptop up and running in tip top shape. His prices are fair and reasonable. read more

Sal has always come through for and always there for me when I need him. His service is competent, polite and strongly knowledge based. I have been going to him for 5+ years you can't go wrong with him. read more

took my all in one computer to Sal after calling a few places and after a few days he had my computer running better then ever and installed some anti software virus to keep my all in one from getting another virus. I would definitely recommend Sal to anyone who has any computer issues. read more

Very kind and helpful responds quickly and will answer any question you may have! very accommodating and great price! I went to get my external hard drive checked it was bugging out on me and he was able to help me transfer my data and make sure I got what I needed.P.S. I locked my keys in the trunk of my car and he was kind enough to ask his neighbor and help me get my keys! read more

Gave him my laptop to replace the screen and he got it done in less than 24 hrs. Very good! :)

I have never gone to Sal before and the condition of my desktop after some kind of virus was ugly. I had read good things here on Yelp and decided to give him a try. Sal worked with me to determine the best course of action and took care of my important personal documents in the process. he kept me informed on each step as he went and at the end of the day gave me back a system working better than before my system got the virus and at a very reasonable price. I would highly recommend him! read more

Wow. Hole in the wall: yes. Quality service: most definitely! I couldn't believe how good of a deal I got on my computer repair for the wonderful service I received. Sal was very helpful and diagnosed my computer as soon as I brought it in. My hard drive had to be completely reformatted because it had been so badly corrupted and he charged me just $45 to back everything up and reformat, and on top of that he gave me a ton of software. In a few days I was back in business with a better computer. He even stayed late to get the job done before I had to go out of town. I would recommend this place 1000 times!!! Really nice guy + really knows his stuff = really top drawer! read more

I found Sal on Yelp & chose him because of the good reviews. Definitely worth it. Sal works quickly, keeps you informed with what's going on & has fair prices. I brought my (very old!) laptop bc it wouldn't connect to my Wi-Fi. Sal fixed it in 1 day & then my old laptop & I were on our merry way. He also reminded me to back up my files & recommended what to look for when I get a new laptop. Thanks Sal! read more

Really late to review the great service from Sal but still so grateful for taking my laptop to him. I thought my computer was done with and prepared to buy a new one when I came across this business. Sal was professional from start to finish. A couple days later and only $60 for a laptop that was an extreme mess, it was like brand new. Didn't lose any files in the process. Have recommended Sal to several people already and they have been pleased with service as well. read more

My laptop doesn't work suddenly. It can not go to main system even though I restore it. I am so worried so I call Sal. He is a nice guy who takes my issue seriously. He listens to me, and explains the solution to me in details. Finally my system restore successfully. I am so happy. Definite recommecond him as your laptop solution profession! read more

My desktop had kept making noise then stop working. So I called Sal and dropped my desktop with Sal. Later he found the problem and let me know what I need to buy to fix the problem. so I ordered a new drive from amazon and shipped directly to him. He installed the new drive and installed windows and anti-virus program for me. Now all problem solved and his service was great and very affordable thanks Sal!!! read more

Sal recovered my data and corrected the problem with my computer, all at a reasonable price. I definitely would use him again.

My daughter's laptop gave a warning that the cooling fan was not functioning. We called a large computer store that does repairs and they quoted $69.95 just to diagnose. Looked at Yelp and found great reviews for East Bay Computer Services. Called early this afternoon (Sunday!) and Sal said bring it over. Within a couple of hours we had it back at only about a third of the cost of the computer store! Will definitely go back if we need repairs in the future! read more

I just got my laptop repaired by this guy. He is very nice and friendly. Unlike other places, he offers reasonable price and provides quick service. read more

I called Sal beacause my computer kept crashing. I was sure my computer was almost done for and was scared all my important pictures and data would be lost. I wanted it fix but also didn't want to pay top dollar. I met Sal, explained my concerns and was very amiable. He called me back a few days later and and told me it was ready for pick up and my computer was just really badly infected with viruses and malware .He cleaned it out He even backed my files, installed a antivirus all for $60 bucks! I truly appreciate his honesty and his quality work becuz there are many IT guys that would charge for unnecessary things and if you are not computer savvy its easy for people to take advantage of you. I will always from now on have Sal fix my computer issues. Its nice to meet friendly and honest ppl these days! Thanks Sal! read more

My laptop was running extremely slow and after one frustrating Saturday afternoon I called Sal. I described my issue and he told me to bring my laptop to him a few hours later. He had to keep it a few days but it was worth the wait. All of the error messages I was receiving have disappeared! My very old laptop runs almost like new. The entire time Sal kept my posted on the progress. When I picked up my laptop he gave me advice on how to get it to run even faster. I would highly recommend him. read more

I'm writing this review for my boyfriend Mark because he doesn't have a Yelp account. I can tell ya, Mark was very pleased! Sal did a great job! He saved me from buying a new computer and he was a great deal at $60.00 for repairs. Prompt response and service. I definitely recommend him for computer repairs. read more

I brought an older laptop to Sal after experiencing software issues (missing files) after upgrading to the latest OS. Not only did he solve the issues, he gave my laptop a "tune up" so it runs better than before. Thank you for the prompt and friendly service and reasonable repair fees. I recommend this business for handling computer issues/repairs. read more

I heard about Sal through a friend of mine and after being led through tireless attempts at having a chance to get my laptop in running order I finally had some time to get it fixed. He was incredibly prompt and had my laptop ready for pickup within a day. My laptop definitely had lots of viruses and was running very slow. By the time I got it home and restarted it, it started running as if I had just purchased it! I would highly recommend Sal for any computer services. He was prompt with communication via text or over the phone and arranged a pickup time according to my hectic weekly schedule. Thanks again Sal for all of your help! read more

Sal is amazing! My cat barfed onto (and into) my computer through the fan vent. I disassembled it, cleaned it, dried it out, and hoped for the best. I was able to reboot the computer and it promptly died after a few minutes. I brought it to Sal to see if he could troubleshoot and he was able to save it. I was convinced I needed a new motherboard (in the best case) and a whole new computer (in the worst case). But it was returned to me in working order. He even cleaned it up a bit so it would run faster. Prices are extremely reasonable and I wouldn't hesitate to contact Sal for any future computer needs. As others have mentioned, he works out of his home so don't be alarmed if you drive up expecting to see a store front. read more

I had an issue with my laptop being stuck on the start screen with the words "restarting" a week after upgrading to windows 10 from windows 7. Tried turning it on and off again but same result. Sal was very helpful and reasonable with the price. He originally quoted me 80 but in the end he only charged me 40 after taking a look. Very quick turnaround. He fixed my laptop within one day. I highly recommend him. read more

Sal was great!! Fast, efficient, and affordable

Sal worked on my desktop pc a week ago and did an excellent job. I found his business through yelp because of the 5 star rating and decided to go with him because of the close proximity. I dropped off my pc at his place because the hardrive was an issue and I needed for him to retrieve all my important documents and pics. He replaced the hardrive and transferred all the necessary docs and pics. The price for labor was good and he was done on time when I needed my pc back. read more

Great service...extremly fair prices. Sal is my computer guy from today forward. My sister gave me an old computer that needed to rebooted. Sal did the work fast, and the computer is now just as fast as the desktop she bought to replace the old one. Great work, easy transaction... read more

My laptops screen was cracked and I was looking to get it fixed when I came across east bay computer services on Yelp... I called Sal up and got an appointment.. He fixed my laptop within 10 mins and the price was really good! read more

So my laptop screen has been cracked for a couple of months just got around to fixing it. Tried to find some people on Yelp and most of them were charging way to much. So I contacted Sal and he told me all I needed was to buy the replacement screen and he'd put it on for me. I took it to him around 6 and it was done a couple hours later. He works from his house but it was totally fine. Friendly, fast and great price for the service. Will definitely be back! read more

East Bay Computer Service is a great company. I'm so glad I found them through Yelp. Other companies charge fees I can't even consider. Was in despair just getting price quotes. Howard is the tech for my Berkeley area and he is very knowledgeable and was willing to solve my malware and virus problem and even give me a deal beyond the already much lower than other companies fee. Easy going, professional, helpful--printed out instructions for how I can learn to change things on my PC--and generous. A great company. (Please don't filter me again; I'm a real customer !:) read more

Great IT experience with Sal today. I called and left a message, which he promptly returned (off to a great start already). I told him the problem and to my surprise he told me the solution--over the phone. I pushed two buttons, restarted my computer and Viola! it was fixed (insert Happy Dance here)!! He could have easily taken advantage of my lack of knowledge and had me bring it in, charge a service fee for his time, etc, etc. But he didn't. This is a man of integrity and he has my business for life. I remembered my niece was having issues so I immediately told her to call him-- her laptop is really messed up so he'll get more business as a result of our simple transaction. I love that referrals are a great way to pay it forward. Thanks Sal! read more

Fast !!! Freindly!! Honest !! Great prices .. Tried to load Windows 10 on my laptop did not work brought my system down was able to fix it and because I was giving it to a friend asked him to wipe the hard drive .. Will get my business in the future !!!! read more

I'm so happy that I found someone I can honestly trust with my computer, Sal is very honest knowledgable and very fair in his prices. I have another computer that I need the screen replaced and I will be going back once I get the screen from Amazon. I have already referred my friend to him. read more

My go-to when I have computer problems! Sal is awesome! He checked my laptops twice for free when other shops stated they would charge me! Would recommend to everyone! read more
