My experience was more than I expected! Nathan is a fantastic help with his customers and answered any and all questions I had throughout the entire process (in person, via phone call and even through text). Nathan even helped me find a new intenral hard drive to install on my Mac desktop to purchase on my own. Thanks to him and his suggestions, all the while fixing my hardware problem, I now have double the size of my internal memory!! If you're looking for first-class costumer service with an unbeatable price, EliteMacTechs is where you need to do your business! Highly recommended!! A++ read more

I brought in a 21.5 iMac for an SSD and RAM upgrade. Very pleased to have dealt with EliteMacTechs. I had multiple correspondences via message with Nathan and he was quick to answer and detailed with his responses. The shop sends you progress updates via email and text. Installation was quick and well priced. Knowledgeable and expert shop. Highly recommended vendor. A++++++ infinity. read more

What a tremendously professional outfit. Cory greeted me, took my computer, gave me the info, and within hours, I had a quote from Nathan. It was a detailed quote with came with a lot of questions.Those questions were answered within minutes. All in, I paid $240 for basically a new computer in an old shell. I adore how smooth the process went and they are ON TOP of their communication which is key to me. I'll definitely be back next time my comp needs an update. read more

I've owned a Macbook for 10 years. Runs like a BMW 3 series. And this place is the reason for it! They've replaced my RAM, video cards - anything to help me keep it in Herculean-shape. So this year - when I decided to trade up - who do you think I went to? Damn right. This place is like the elusive auto mechanic whose actually honest and fair priced. But these guys are the real article. Give this place a fair shake and they'll save you thousands. For real. read more

Excellent Service. Very Knowledgeable. Patiently worked with me to help solve the problem. Nobody else could replicate the problem to figure out how to fix it: even the Apple Store! I would highly recommend you take your Mac to them! Rev. Dea Warford read more

I called in to check wether they could help me repair my computer but they couldn't (due to the rarity of the part I needed fixing). Instead, the man on the phone recommended an alternate solution and gave me step by step advice to most efficiently fix my computer. I regret not to having gotten his name but if this is any indication of the service they provide I would highly recommend them. Super friendly and extremely knowledgeable. Thank you! read more

I discovered this unassuming shop after my drive had sat in MACHOLLYWOOD, another shop for 4 days before being looked at and told they couldnt fix it. Nathan turned around my data recovery in less than 24 hours for $200. That's less than $600 quoted by his next door neighbor $300 DATA RECOVERY. Nathan and his team are reliable, fast and professional. His automated text and email system to notify you of your repair status makes communication easy. Thank you for being straight up, reasonable and reliable! read more

Nathan! Thank you!! Found this gem a few months back and Nathan fixed my macbook...fast!!! Customer service is top notch and very friendly. Def would recommend his service to friends and family. Thank you again Nathan! read more

Years ago, when I didn't have a technical background, I used to believe these guys were good. Good in customer service, and fixing things. They told me my MacBook's logic board was fried and was going to cost me $600. Now at present time, and with a little bit of maturity, confidence, plus knowing that my computer is fried anyway so might as well try to fix it. A few YouTube videos later, all I had to do was switch the memory around, et voila! It's now working. I had to pay $70 for them to inspect it and give me a diagnosis. Now I see these guys as a bunch of mechanics wanting the higher pay of the job. Lost my complete trust, and I'm retracting what I previously said in my old review. $600 worth of work was just 30 mins of googling, YouTubing, and Turing some screws. If your having the same situation where the cost don't make sense, please use google. read more

I've worked with computers for years so I thought it would be easy to upgrade the hard drive in a friends iMac. I was about 95% there but needed help properly connecting the LCD back to the computer. The DisplayPort cable is very fragile. EliteMacTechs went above and beyond to help me get the computer back up and running in no time without wasting money on unnecessary parts. I'd highly recommend them to anyone in need of Mac support. read more

Very helpful and friendly, in person and over the phone. They're easy to get a hold of and keep in contact with you while working on your computer. They opened up my computer and gave me recommendations as to what my next steps should be, FOR FREE! Thanks guys! read more

Just as everyone says, Nathan is pretty great. I needed to replace the battery on my wife's MacBook Air and his price was significantly less than Melrose Mac, and he finished the order in an hour (instead of a week, as quoted by Melrose). Good price, fast service. But I was especially impressed that he was generous with his time and wisdom as I asked for advice on a new iMac configuration (which he would make no money from). He clearly knows his stuff. Highly recommend. read more

Nathan is the best! I am a technology coordinator for a private elementary school on the westside and I bring all my school MacBook repairs to EliteMac Techs. The prices are reasonable and the turnaround time the best. I always recommend EliteMacTechs to everyone. read more

Just want to say thank you very much to Nathan for fixing my Mac in a middle of Covid 19 pandemic. He is very professional, honest, polite, fast, friendly. He is perfect. Nathan is communicative, giving you very honest and professional advices and made the whole process, specially at today's stressful time, absolutely stress free. I highly recommend his service. Thank you very much again. Stay safe! read more

My computer crashed in the middle of the Covid-19 virus pandemic. I went to them due to a referral from a friend. Nathan Irvine of EliteMacTechs came to my rescue, still having a plan to keep us both safe from the virus. What I appreciated most was how detailed Nathan was in explaining what the problem was with my computer, and laid out my options as clear as day. My price was completely fair. I feel like they don't just go by the book every time, but kind of assess everyones situation individually as far as pricing go. 5 stars all the way and they will continue to have my business. read more

I took my Mac in at 5pm on Monday. By 12pm Tuesday it was done. Very fast no hassle service. He didn't try and upsell me anything. The service was $100. Labor and new track pad. I'll be coming back for anything Mac related hence forth. read more

My Mac Pro had a loose ribbon cable & Nathan told me to come and he would of it for free. I'm definitely a returning customer and will tell my friends. Thanks a million!!! read more

Nathan is extremely knowledgeable and honest. I've worked with a handful of Apple repair shops and they don't even come close to the customer service he provides. I got the chance to chat with him today for a while and he's definitely my new go to repair shop for all Apple computer needs read more

Had a SSD collapse on me and EliteMacTechs rescued the data, sent it back to me, ordered a new hard-drive, and installed the new drive with haste. It was done quickly and professionally. I recommend them to anyone suffering a similar calamity!! read more

Incredible customer service. My laptop wasn't turning on, after some back and forth with APPLE, I decided it's not worth paying the arm and leg they wanted to repair my laptop. I read some great reviews about this company and decided to give it a go - I worked with Nathan. Talk about - kind, timely and receptive! Today I received a notice that my lap top is ready and fixed for a quarter of the price Apple was going to charge me. I am ecstatic and super grateful for the excellent customer service here. All my questions were answered, all timeframes given were as promised and not a single grey area. Highly recommend! Thank you Nathan and team! read more

Really grateful I got a recommendation to come to Nathan and EliteMacTechs! I got the same repair I needed from Apple for 25% of the cost, and in only 90 minutes (rather than two weeks). More than that, I was promised a refund and a new quote if the problem persisted. Nathan was kind, knowledgable, and professional--very much worth the drive to the valley :) read more

All of the above. Great fast communication, correct price to replace macbook air screen, contactless delivery all done in under 24 hours!!!

So heres the deal, my MacBook Pro couldn't connect to the wifi due to a spill. Apple Store:$750 EliteMacTechs: $216 Ummmm HUGE difference! They fixed it super fast! Took it in Thursday got it back the next day Friday So if you need some fixing on your Apple computer, skip the Apple Store and head over to EliteMacTechs :) read more

I am a graphic designer who can not live without my MacPro. I am very picky about the repair shop. When my MacPro booting problem happened, I researched a lot where to ask for repair. Then, thanks, Yelpers! I am so glad I found EliteMacTechs! Nathan found out the problem fast (with free diagnose) and ordered & replaced a new graphics card very quickly. He is knowledgeable, fast and good communication, everything so seamlessly without any stress. I highly recommend! read more

I'm writing this review feeling fairly euphoric now that my beloved MacBook Pro is safely back into my arms after it spent some days in the very capable hands of Brian Cometa. Just like a real baby, it's always hard to let them go, but if they're with someone trustworthy, you can rest a little easier. Last week, my laptop began to make some very uncharacteristic and horrible noises, which my smart cookie boyfriend diagnosed as being a busted fan. I quickly logged onto Yelp and looked around for an affordable, trusted, and fairly local Mac repair expert. I came across Brian, and after looking at his reviews I was sure he was the man to see about my computer woes. I stopped in to see Brian and in about 5 seconds he confirmed my suspicious about the fan, told me how long it would be to fix, how much it would cost, and our business was done in 15 minutes flat! Since he needed to wait for an ordered part to fix my laptop, it took a few days but I still got my computer back in less than a week and it's all better! I also paid $100 for a tune-up and my baby is working much faster and smoother than she was before. I highly recommend Brian's services! read more

Looking for a quick, reliable guy in the Burbank, Toluca Lake, Studio City/NOHO general area to repair your Mac? This is your guy, period. He quoted a competitive price and told us to give him a day...Had our laptop back with a new hard drive in 45 minutes at a fair price...45 minutes- enough said. This is what great service is all about! read more

Brian Cometa is a really nice guy but it will break your heart to see him because your computer is dead and you want to cry. I bought a used Macbook Pro, being the poor grad student that I am. It had worked perfectly for the 4 months since I've had it. Then I tried to watch Hulu on my computer for the first time. All those Pizza Hut ads and random commercials for indigestion gave my computer a bad case of kernel panics. I could no longer boot my computer without it making a sad kernel panic face at me. Poor computer!! I took it to Brian and he found that the video card/logic board was the culprit. Unfortunately, logic boards are really expensive to replace. But!! Brian found out that my computer model had a defective video card and Apple had a recall for it. Brian printed off all the information for me and safely transferred my data onto an external hard drive. He said Apple may replace the video card/logic board for free due to the recall. It was up to Apple now to save my computer's life... So I went to Apple. And yes!! Apple fixed my computer!!!!!! I have it now in my hands. If I see Brian again, my heart would fill with joy because my computer is back!! Well, as long as my computer is not broken.... ;) read more

Once again the indie business owner holding its own it re affirming quality work and friend service. Ladies and gentleman, I present you to EliteMacTechs. Small little store front in a strip mall at Ventura Blvd & Tujunga (south side of the street) but boy do they pack a punch. Had an issue with my becoming antiquated MacBookPro and for pennies on the dollar compared to what everyone else was charging, they gave me a brand new 17" screen. IN 24 FREAKIN' HOURS! WOW! Smart, friendly, nice, great service. Skip Melrose Mac and go directly to EliteMacTechs....do not pass Tujunga pay no more than $250.... Thanks again guys! read more

Another wonderful experience. If you have a repair need and are out of warranty, I have no idea why you would not give him a call. Nice, cool guy - good work - honest. Thanks, Brian. read more

God bless America! And God bless Brian Cometa! This business will undoubtably become a well known gem of Los Angeles! I read too many horror stories about other mac repair shops like Mac Enthusiast and Melrose Mac. As cheesy of a cliché opening as that sounds, its true. The last thing you want when you're about to lose half of your life to a broken hard drive is to get screwed over by an untrustworthy mini corporate machine that just wants your money. I fear those places are like broken vending machines that eat your first dollar, forcing you to pay extra for something that isn't even that good or good for you. All you need is ONE GUY that knows how to fix the problem, efficiently for a fair price. And Brian is no tenth grader working out of his mother's basement playing pretend. This is an APPLE CERTIFIED BUSINESS, folks - you just have to get past the fact its in an apartment, if that's a worry. I was impressed to sign my contract on a touch screen! He absolutely saved me in a day without any stress. He had a variety of hard drive replacements for me to choose from and he was able to transfer everything. My computer is back exactly the way it was and now I've got over 200GB of more space! In one day, for $260! Don't bother with the headache from those other places - not knowing when you'll computer will be fixed and how much you'll have to shell out for it, and the genius people are useless, just make an appointment for Brian's service. Soon as you meet him, you'll know your computer will be alright. Holy crap am I grateful he was around! You won't find one bad review about him! (first thing I did when I got my computer back was sign up and post this) read more

What I experienced has already been echoed in the other reviews. I had an issue, it was immediately solved. I wish I handled my relationships like these guys handle computer repair. read more

Once again, the work performed by Nathan at EliteMacTechs has exceeded all expectations. My laptop needed a little maintenance and Nathan delivered and I now have a more efficient running computer. Also, he is a delight to work with and with the new drop off and pick up guidelines made the entire transition easy. These guys are the best! read more

Brian Cometa is my hero. He saved my 24" iMac from the spinning beachball of death and the $600 that Apple wanted to charge me for a new hard drive. He diagnosed the problem in a few hours, replaced the HD for a fair price and turned the whole thing around in less than 24 hours. I found him to be extremely reliable, professional and responsive. He's now my go-to guy for all things Mac and I would not hesitate to recommend him and use his services again. read more

EliteMacTechs saved the day again. They easily fixed an issue that had to do with an upgrade I did interfering with an older license from the last job they did. Instead of charging me they added it to the older ticket and closed it out. Couldn't be happier and I recommend them to everyone I know who has a Mac. It's very hard to find people as honest and hard working as those employed at EliteMacTechs. On top of that their prices are amazingly fair. Side note: I received my initial recommendation from someone who lives in Maryland, so their reputation is highly trusted nationally. read more

If there was a way to give 10 stars to a company, We would give them to Elite Mac Techs! I found Elite Mac Techs on Yelp. They had ALL five star reviews and let me tell you, they deserve every one of them. One of our offices had a drive failure in an iMac that was used for customer invoicing. The only backup was several months old (another story) and without this computer functioning, the office was dead in the water. They diagnosed the computer as having a dead drive and then started the data recovery. They kept us notified on their progress every several hours. By the end of the day, they had recovered ALL of the data, replaced the iMac internal drive with a new 1 terabyte drive, installed a new version of the Mac operating system and copied the data back. The computer now works perfectly and the office is now back in full operation thanks to Elite Mac Techs. Thank you for the great service! read more

Was referred by my office manager, who found him on Yelp. She highly recommended Brian, so I thought I would try him out. He's extremely organized and professional, which made a great first impression. Showed up early, and got right down to business with the Macs in our office. I ended up giving him another computer to take with him and work on at his facility. Very pleased, and will definitely use his services again and again. read more

I never write yelp reviews unless it matters. I recently took my computer to Emily. She was nice enough, just not smart enough. I had forgotten my password encrypted on my Mac, The little ? mark that helps you remember are 2 questions: Your registry key and your Apple ID to reset your password. I could not reset due to not being on line with my laptop. I took my laptop in and she could not fix it. I asked her what the registry key and tried to show her the ? and point it out and she was just blank. Had no idea what I was asking, like she did not click on the little ? mark. I came home and felt so stupid myself (and I am not a Mac Repair business owner) that all I had to do was plug the Mac in to my hard line from the modem, I simply plugged in the Mac to the modem, and was able to use my Apple ID password and reset my password. Why would she not know that and then charge me the 25 bucks? read more

Talk about getting lucky. I went on the internet looking for help for my MAC PowerBook G4. BTW...You could not pay me to go back to the Apple Store. They are just plain rude. My screen had a white line 2 inches wide and growing. After some research I decided to try Brian. YIPPIE. The service was GREAT. I needed a new LCD. My computer has everything on it and I needed it back yesterday. One day turn around. Can't beat the service or price. Brian is the BOMB. JJB read more

Nathan is honest, friendly, helpful, and thorough! I brought in my MacBook Pro for a free diagnosis, since I was frustrated with trying to figure out an audio issue on my own. He kept my laptop for about 24 hours and then messaged me with a detailed explanation. Instead of aggressively pushing his services, he recommended I try reinstalling the operating system on my own (which he also could have done for a fee, if I felt uncomfortable doing myself). Then, if his suggestion didn't work, I could bring it back for further testing and diagnostics. I got lots of great advice and didn't even pay anything! I can't think of very many businesses today that offer this level of service, and I would not hesitate one moment to return to him for my future Mac needs. I'll definitely refer him to anyone I know who needs Mac repair. Thanks, Nathan! read more

I was going to lose my mind when I spilled water on my Macbook pro which then stopped working. I hastily bought a 13 inch macbook to take to France with me (humble brag) because I needed it for work. That stupid computer was built so cheaply that when I put it in my backpack in the overhead of the airplane it somehow did impact damage to the retina display. I took it back to Apple thinking of course they would replace it but they said no. It would cost upwards of $500 and take three or four days. I took it to Elite Mac Techs and they fixed it for $400 flat in under two hours. Then, my water damaged computer - which Apple said would cost a minimum of $1200 to fix -- these guys waived the consultation fee ($75), cleaned it TWICE and then said they could fix it all for just $250, including the tiny screws I myself took off and promptly lost. I have never gotten service THIS GOOD. I recommend them as highly as I possibly can. read more
