My desktop computer was savaged by One Drive. Everything was in the cloud. I prefer to keep my files at home. I did not know what to do as I was overwhelmed by One Drive. I called Dan and he quickly responded to my home to rescue me. It was obvious he was very knowledgeable and easily addressed all the issues with my old computer before he transferred any information onto my new computer. After he finished his work, he presented me with the bill. Don't tell him, I thought he did not charge enough. I had to call Dan several times over the next few days as I was trying to figure out the new computer. He was always available to help me. He is reliable, knowledgeable, and won't overcharge you. And he is one hell of a nice guy. I would strongly recommend him to anyone who needs help with their computer problems. read more

I rarely do reviews but this is a few weeks past due.. Dan is unbelievably talented with finding what the problem is. After having spectrum here four times changing router changing modem etc our Wi-Fi and network was horrible . We are in main location in downtown Carlsbad so there should be no issues ... he figured it out in ten minutes !! Told us what Wi-Fi router to get on Amazon and we have not lost our connection one time since he changed it. We lost our connection every hour multiple times for the past year and it's crazy to not have our tv streaming and Wi-Fi to go out . Thank you a million times Dan !!!!!! read more

Dan is fantastic! Not only is he responsive, he honors the customer's requests. For example, I needed a new hard drive for an old machine and wanted to continue using Windows 7. Instead of lecturing me, he told me about some of the disadvantages I might encounter and was totally willing to support me. He also installed his own personal script that does back ups for me. My desktop now has a brand new hard drive (I bought exactly what he recommended) and no longer has disk errors --- and he did it all on the same day! He also cleaned up my Microsoft Surface Pro's memory and saved me from having to buy a new machine. He is a super expert and his prices are super reasonable. Bless you Dan, you are the BEST!!!!!! read more

Dan provided professional, same-day service that was excellent. Good advice and good recommendations. I recommend Dan without hesitation.

Dan was very knowledgeable, friendly, & fast but what I liked about him the most is that he is honest. The keyboard on my daughter's laptop needed to be replaced so I took it to him & not even 20 mins later, he called me & told me he can fix it but because of the way the keyboard was assembled, it might not be worth fixing due to the value of the laptop. He could have fixed it & made money but instead, he acted on my best interest. Went back to his place & got the laptop back, free of charge. If I ever need a pc or laptop to be fixed, I know where to go. I highly recommend Dan & will definitely refer people to him. May God continue to bless him & his family abundantly. read more

Dan is reliable, knowledgeable, efficient and friendly. I only use him for all my computer, printer, and any electronics I have when I need repair, consultation about best products on the market, and when my printer acts up. I've used other IT people in the past. I only use Dan now. He comes to me so I don't have to be inconvenienced with carrying equipment anywhere else. I use him for my home electronics and especially at work. Donna Wilson Westturf Landscape Management read more

Thanks to software updates, my programs became painstakingly slow (think Adobe Photoshop and Premiere, among others).

Dan did an overall scan of my computer system. He verified that I had a backup system and made recommendations to improve this process. Dan recommended that we only make certain changes until we could verify that the initial corrections where working properly. Dan spent the time explaining his recommendations to me. He is patient and respectful and answered my question no matter how basic. Dan Pastel solved the problems in the time allotted and at the price told. One year later I purchased a new computer.

Love Intelligent Solutions! Dan saved me from complete meltdown. I was forced to buy a new computer when my 11 year old iMac finally gave out. The Apple Store wouldn't even help me transfer my data to my new iMac, stating that it was an "Antique" and they won't touch it. I had stressed out so much trying to handle it myself before I called and Dan calmly told me what I needed to do and then came out to get everything up and running.
