The "Beast" died and would not boot up...3 weeks before my daughter's wedding. Fortunately I use…read moreTime Machine and all files were backed up. Jon Kennedy was patient on the phone, explained his process and was very clear. Although Apple products are not his personal first choice, his Apple knowledge surprised me. Personally, Jon is a delightful guy, personable, friendly, upbeat and caring. We chatted a lot then discussed his process. Honestly, I was so distracted by my daughter's wedding logistics, that I didn't care how calm and laid-back Jon's approach was. (Normally, I would expect urgency and "yesterday" in my computer concerns.) Jon was communicative and positive, presenting caveats when necessary. I'm impressed that a normally PC user was so incredibly knowledgeable about Macs. Thank you, Jon, for 2 lessons. 1. I have a trusted new vendor. 2. Making me slow down and be patient with you, turned into a non-issue. I had my ancient (but working) Mac Book and access to all necessary files. The Beast is roaring and the wedding was gorgeous!

The strategy upon which we agreed was for him to upload my files onto a flash drive and recycle the machine. Jim took care of everything--he salvaged my files, provided the flash drive, and for an extra nominal fee, took care of the recycling. Jim's hourly rate is very reasonable, and he accomplished everything that needed doing in a short amount of time. He is professional, consummately knowledgable about computers, and a friendly guy. I'm grateful to have found Jim, and I would recommend him to anyone.

DO NOT GIVE THIS MAN YOUR TECH. **VERY SKETCHY** DO NOT GO TO HIS HOUSE EITHER. (PICS INCLUDED)…read more TLDR: he took my solid state drive and won't give it back. ghosting my texts and calls since May 14th, 2024 in beginning of May 2024, i contacted (i believe his name is Charles, older fellow, i believe uses a cane) Main Street Computers to save my solid state drive that was recently damaged. Promised he was the best in the area on this service, even gloated it's his specialty. Told me to drive to his house in Sebastopol/Graton and drop the solid state off. Interaction was a little weird (social skills and ques wise) but he was confident and promised me he would be done within the week. I also gave him an external hard drive to use in case he needed more space for the recovery. Calls me two days later and says he's done. I got to his house, invited me in, and inside he handed me the invoice; however, as i was about to sign. i realized he didn't recover the files on my computer, but the 3 videos saved on the external hard drive and just slapped them into the computer... -_- I told him and he was not happy. i then realized - inside his kitchen and dining area - he had a set up of 3 cameras all around the space. one at the end of the dining area, one in the kitchen, one at the end of the living space (kind of down the hall). he exclaimed, "F*ck, Dammit", then promised me he'd do it right this time within the next couple days. the next day he calls me to return with my laptop as the solid state was encrypted. i arrived at 9:17 pm. i knocked on the door a couple times, heard some arguing upstairs so i waited on the porch. I then called him and then he said he'd come downstairs. i then hear some running, a couple second go by, and then i heard him coming down the stairs inside. He takes a brisk look at me, he looked a bit confused. out of it. he then takes 2 steps towards me and FALLS AGAINST THE WALL!!! I then thought he could've been drunk or on some something(?) I thought maybe i should go inside and pick him up, but i felt a weird energy and felt very skeptical, so i yelled through the door if he was okay. he just laid there. i then noticed the cameras outside on the porch too. this whole thing felt so on purpose. flight or flight came on so i ran back to my car. i looked behind me as i drove away and noticed a different man had ran outside, standing and watching me drive away, right where i stood. i drove to a lit gas station, gathered myself, and texted him if he was okay. he said "yes just hurt like hell." i couldn't shake off the thought that this was an attempted kidnapping or robbery. felt very much like a set up. to this day, he won't respond to any calls or texts. he also still has my solid state drive... thinking of getting the police involved. honestly i'm DEVASTED. I had very important files for my business and client's projects in that solid state. i was young when i started this business and did not know to back up files to an external. i then lost those clients, as well as all my personal files. an absolute NIGHTMARE

I originally had my Rivian wrapped here three years ago, and it still looks great. I needed to come…read moreback because my car was hit and had to have part of the wrap removed for the repair. I was quoted a price over text, but when I arrived and he realized I had the SUV, not the truck, he immediately told me it would be less. He could have easily gone with the original quote that I already thought was fair, but he didn't. You don't find that type of honesty and integrity every day. Besides doing a great job on the new wrap, he cleaned up a few other spots on my car that I wasn't expecting to make sure he gave it back to me looking brand new. Plus, he took the time to walk me through his clay bar and wax process, which he definitely didn't need to do, but I very much appreciated and will be using myself at home. Can't recommend Juan enough. I'll be back in the future.
