The power supply died on my desktop PC, and Dan came to the rescue yet again. He had me back up and running in less than a day. Effortless to work with, honest, reasonably priced; you will not find a better person. Thanks again, Dan! read more

The wireless radio on my laptop wouldn't turn on, so, after seeing the great reviews here, I called Dan hoping to bring it in. He spent 15 minutes with me on the phone with some simple troubleshooting, then gave me some instructions for further research and tools to fix it myself. I worked on it a bit, unsuccessfully, then had to go to work. Dan called back a few hours later to see if I was able to resolve the issue. When I couldn't (user error, surely), I dropped my laptop off with him at 10 am and he called by 4 pm to say it was fixed and ready for pickup -- all at just one hour of labor ($40)! Dan was very professional. The only pause I had was that he works out of his gated apartment, so it felt a little weird dropping off my laptop to a "stranger" (it was the first time I'd met him) on the sidewalk outside his apartment. But with the great reviews here, I decided to trust, and my fears were unwarranted. read more

Dan is freakin amazing. I'm a retired computer engineering executive. I've been fixing or building my own computers since the early 70's. So I know a thing or two. Due to physical limitations, i can no longer fix anything, so i found Dan on Yelp. I described the problem using his website. Within 30 minutes, as promised, I received an email reply. The reply described the suspected cause of my problem in much more detail than I provided. He referenced a known problem with my motherboard. Then he fixed it. In this day and age, nobody even tries to fix motherboards. Dan does. In my case, he figured out which chip was failing due to heat and applied an improved heatsink and fan (HP had a crappy heatsink and no fan.) If you are not a technie, you may not appreciate how much time and money this saved me. Anyone else would have simply swapped out the motherboard, which would have cost several hundred dollars more, and would have made me reinstall everything. I only wish I could have hired Dan back when I was working. Sighhh.. He is far and away more knowledgeable about fixing PCs than anyone I have ever hired, worked with, or even met. read more

Thank you again Daniel! I thought all my data was being backed up and saved to a secure and safe place, a portable hard drive. LOL Little known fact is they fail...often. After researching the internet on all the ways to fix this I tried everything short of sending it out to a very expensive data recovery clean room. I turned to Yelp as a last resort and found Keating Technical Consulting. The owner, Daniel, is a life saver (data saver) and very very helpful. Daniel was very knowledgeable about hard drives and how much the recovery costs are. He was very honest in giving me the hard reality that my data may not be recoverable at a reasonable cost and gave me a very helpful suggestion to be able to pay for recovery at the more expensive places that cost **thousands**, not kidding. Low and behold he WAS able to get all my data off and only charged me his hourly rate, which is amazingly low for his level of expertise. All this with a quick turnaround time as well. I was amazed and SO grateful. I would have paid him much more ;) I am giving 5 stars for everything: his constant communication throughout the entire job, his availability, his expertise, his hourly rate, and how nice he is. You will not be disappointed in turning the Keating Technical Consulting for all your computer needs. read more

Daniel is great! I went to him based on others' Yelp reviews and I'm so glad I did. He is as great as everyone describes here. Strongly recommended. I work from home so my PC is critical. It completely locked up - wouldn't respond to anything; it would reboot but not run any programs - not even in Safe Mode. I was out of my league and knew I needed help. Daniel not only returned my panicked call quickly, he walked me through some of the basic trouble shooting via phone. I ended up dropping my PC to him and he fixed it in LESS than 24 hours. I was so relieved to have it back and fixed. He also gave me some good software advice. I was so impressed with his service that I've already dropped my laptop to him. It's just running slower lately and I feel confident Daniel will check it out thoroughly and take care of any problems. I hope not to need Daniel for any PC emergencies again soon, but - when I do - he will be my only call. Thanks again, Daniel! read more

I'm happy to add another five-star rating to Keating Technical Consulting. Dan provided outstanding service in resolving my father's challenging computer problems in a friendly and professional way. It was a relief to turn it over to his expertise, and we know that he went the extra mile to correct all of the issues. We're very glad to have found such an honest and helpful person like Dan who provides top-notch service at a great price. Highly recommended! read more

My laptop was in bad shape. It took Dan a bit of tinkering but, he stuck with it. After about a week, my baby was returned to me in perfect working order. Thanks Dan! read more

Dan..is the man for broken laptops...he finds the root cause of problem...in minutes infront of us... .he fixed all kinds of issues we gave..today also we gave 2 laptops(one is Dell and another one is Acer around 1.00pm) he fixed Dell and gave us back in couple of hours..its perfectly working fine..just waiting on Acer..as of today he FIXED....the following for my friends...Thanks a lot Dan..... 1. HP laptop -4 no's 2. One Dell Pc 3. Acer laptop... All of them are working perfectly....thanks a lot Dan for you help. Dan- Fantastic job....Keep up the good work.... Thank you. read more

I was truly shocked at the extermely high quality of service I received from Dan. My computer was infected with a pretty serious virus that prevented me from even logging in in safe mode. I called Dan the following morning and he got back to me within a half hour. I met with him that morning, and the problem was resolved within a half hour. Throughout the day, Dan followed up to see how things were going and helped me take steps to prevent the problem from happening again. If you have a computer issue, I recommend calling Keating Technology Consulting. Dan commnicates well to people who don't have a deep understanding of computers, and obviosuly knows what he is doing. read more

My Sony Vista laptop was on the verge of a complete catastrophic meltdown. It would freeze on the loading screen when running windows normally, at the last known good configuration, and any safe mode. I couldn't do a thing with it! Luckily I went on yelp and saw reviews for Daniel and let me tell you...the reviews are 100% right! This guy is a wizard when is comes to computers. I thought I'd either have to buy a new one or restore to default settings. He fixed my computer in the same day I brought it in and was incredibly reasonable with the price. He knows his craft and is amazing at it. If you have any troubles with your computer, feel free to call him and he will definitely help you with your problems. He already has me as a loyal satisfied customer! read more

Yelp does it again, these ratings really mean something people! Dan definitely saved us some heartache with a broken DC power jack on our laptop. He was able to fix the problem for much cheaper than other places that I checked. Dan was able to get the laptop back to us the next day even when I took it to him on a holiday. He also cleaned the laptop and cleared up some dust issues that were causing the laptop to shut down so now it runs great and much quieter. He did that last part on his own which shows the awesome service he provides. Thanks Dan. read more

Daniel is AMAZING! I have gone to him twice already and both times he managed to solve my computer problems with ease. My laptop had a charging problem, and I thought it was the jack itself, but Daniel figured out that it was the charger itself and went above and beyond by giving me an old charger to a laptop he used to have of the same brand. He could have just given back my laptop and I would have had to buy myself another charger, but since he didn't need his, he gave it to me. Talk about great customer service! The second time, I experienced the BSOD, and my laptop would not start normally at all. Turns out my hard drive was failing, and Dan took a lot of time working on it. He replaced the hard drive and now it works like new! This guy obviously knows what he's doing, and he is such a great guy. I didn't even bother buying the Yelp deal because Daniel deserves every single dollar. If you have any computer problems, Dan is your guy. read more

Daniel really helped me out the other day when my camera's memory card stopped working (corrupted) leaving me stressed out thinking I had lost all the photos. Daniel was able to recover all 692 photos in just a couple days and I could not be happier. I would highly recommend Daniel for all your data recovery needs and computer problems, he's help both me and my family get through some difficult situations. Thanks Daniel. read more

After trying a few other computer technicians out there, I found Keating Technical Consulting through Yelp. Now I will never go anywhere else when it comes to my computer needs; I've called upon Daniel twice. We've been struggling with an extremely slow computer and were ready to throw it out the window. Daniel first suggested adding more memory on it, but we were ready to get rid of our 10-year-old computer and huge monitor. We had considered a Dell or HP, but he helped find us a new Compaq system at an incredible price and saved us $200-300. He also analyzed a problem with a broken laptop to determine it wasn't worth saving. He certainly knows his stuff! Keating Technical Consulting's rates are also very reasonable, and I feel as though I can trust Daniel to do the work in the appropriate amount of time and not be overcharged. Oh, and did I say that he is super nice and has great customer service? Daniel is busy with corporate clients but never once made me feel like my job was too small. I would not hesitate to recommend his services to anyone. read more

Well my computer finally died. On a Sunday. So I scrambled around town to find the best deal, bought a new one, called Dan, ans asked for help. He spent several hours that Sunday evening carefully setting up applications and then porting over all the data from my hard drive to the new computer. He painstakingly went through my .pst files and email structure to make sure it all looked the same and worked the same on the new machine. He helped with software for which I no longer had disks. And then he met me for an hour the next morning to make sure everything worked as planned and that I could navigate around properly. All at an extremely reasonable price! This review is an update from an older review, and once again I would not hesitate to recommend Dan to anyone with a computer issue. He's the best. read more

The power cord jack on my laptop became loose so I had to jiggle or prop the cord up to make sure my laptop charged. I called around and Keating had the lowest price and had a ton of good reviews on Yelp so I decided to try him out. A few days later I had my laptop back working good as new. Overall he did a great job and I would recommend Keating Technical Consulting to anyone having computer troubles. read more

I am thrilled to recommend Dan! Although there was no real fix for the issue I was having with my laptop (Dell should be ashamed) he worked tirelessly to attempt to repair it, pulling it apart several times and trying several different methods. He was communicative and easy to understand when we started communicating in tech language. He was more than fair in his pricing and I would go back to him for help anytime! read more

Ditto many other reviewers - Dan is fabulous, quick response, honest, solid service. Diagnostic on my 5 year old laptop and upgraded my RAM all in less than 24 hours, and it's working just fine now. I am already recommending him to my friends and will go back to him without question! read more

Excellent, fast and fairly priced service. My PC crashed when we moved the desk around to paint the family room, I took my PC to Dan on Saturday afternoon and picked it up at noon on Monday. Dan diagnosed the problem, quoted a price and delivered. Highly recommended. read more

Second time, I've used Keating Technical Consulting. Quick, fast, and affordable prices.

Great experience. I was unable to reload my recovery software on my laptop so I called just to ask about possible issues that might be affecting it. He thought it was an overheating issue right away (and he was right), but also was able to tell me what else it could be and approximately how much the repair would cost. I dropped off the laptop Tuesday evening and had it back Thursday morning. It is amazing how much an overheating issue can impact PC function. Super happy with my experience. Friendly, honest advice and repair. Resolved my computer issues quickly and communicated with me through the process. Definitely recommended! read more

I called Dan about replacing my Dell keyboard. He looked the model up and said it could not be done because if its design. I explained the reason I wanted it replaced. The cursor moved on its own when typing. I took it to him and he disconnected the touch pad. Took less than 10 minutes. Problem solved. No charge. If needed, I would use him again and recommend him highly. read more

Dan went out of his way to make sure that I had my laptop when I needed it. I called around before calling Dan, and had a couple different suggestions as to why my computer was having problems. Dan's phone diagnoses made the most sense - my hardrive was failing and I needed to replace it. He suggested a good drive (faster than what I had before) to buy that was only $50. He installed the drive and was able to pull all my files over from the previous harddrive. When I got my laptop back the next day (which happened to be over the weekend) everything was working perfectly - and a little faster too! I braces myself, expecting a decent sized bill due to what I had been quoted by other computer guys. I was very releived when I got the bill (which he sent through PayPal so I could put it on my credit card) - he only charged me for a couple hours work at a very reasonable rate!..More than $30 cheaper than what other people and quoted me. read more

Dan Keating was punctual, professional, and thoroughly helpful. His service is honest and he follows through.

Dan was great! He came out on a SATURDAY! I had issues porting mail and sharing calendars between business exchange servers and home PC All is good now. This man know his stuff! read more

My laptop had the black screen of death. My husband went to Yelp and we found Dan Keating and read his reviews. He answered my panicked phone call right away and despite being busy, he said he would be able to look at my computer right away. We dropped it off early afternoon and he contacted me later that evening with the good news that my screen did not need to be replaced but was an easy fix! He charged a very nominal fee, in my opinion he charged far less than he could ask for. I have a touch screen and he even cleaned my screen for me! I would not hesitate to contact him again should any future issues arise, but I am hoping that I won't have to. read more

Love this guy! Sent an email with a description of my inability to connect the laptop to the wireless printer. He responded that he was busy but would call back after 5. He did, and spent an hour and 15 mins walking me through every step of the process. Made sure it was working before closing the conversation. Very reasonable charge (paid through PayPal). Even sent me a thank you email after I paid. Very knowledgeable and patient. Wish he did car repairs! read more

I wish there were 10 stars because that is what Dan the IT Man would receive. He has come to our rescue countless times. Dan is professional and computer/software/printer/network knowledgeable - almost unbelievably so. In addition, his cost is fair and square. There is no need to call/go anywhere else with computer problems, maintenance, woes, or extraordinary support. Dan is one-stop shopping. read more

Thanks to all the yelp reviewers who helped me find Dan. He is as good as everyone says. He is very helpful and was able to fix my husband's 'dead' laptop and greatly improve the speed of my laptop in record time. He always had cost savings in mind for us when recommending repairs. He takes time to be sure you understand the repair and answers any questions you have with patience and respect. read more

My computer is on the old side, but I wanted to hold on to it as long as possible, it's a Windows 7 and I don't feel like going through a learning curve at this time. But it crashed big so I took it down to Dan at Keating Technical for repair. It was kind of a leap of faith based on just Yelp reviews, but man, does this guy have anything less than five stars? Not only did it stop dead, but the virus it picked up actually started with some odd computer behavior a month before, so actually there were three issues involved here. Not to be denied, Dan returned it to me in about four days and I was actually surprised after getting it home that the thing worked perfectly, all the issues were gone! Not only did he fix what appeared to be a complicated matter, he did it with reasonable rates. I would highly recommend his services and if I ever have another computer problem and you know its just a matter of time before something happens, I'm taking it to Dan. John - Lincoln, Ca. read more

After days of aggravation with my new Outlook 2013 program, I finally gave up and enlisted the help of Keating Technical Consulting. Right from the start, Dan was quick to listen to the issues at hand and sought to remedy the glitches. It took a couple of hours over the course of the day but he called me along the way and updated me on progress. In the end, Dan was able to figure out glitches that I never would have been able to remedy on my own. And his price was incredibly reasonable. You can tell that he is not in this to take advantage of anyone. He truly wants to help you out for the best price possible. If you are experiencing computer trouble, I highly recommend this company. Dan will not steer you wrong! read more

Dan is not only a knowledge fund when it comes to computer repairs, he's also a kind and decent man, very agreeable and provides the greatest customer service. I'd take any and all computers to him from now on. He truly is the BEST. read more

Dan was great in repairing my laptop that was infested with viruses. His customer service was simply amazing! He even offered to deliver the laptop in person to us when we said we need it right away but tied up to come and pick it up. He seems to be a very honest and trust worthy nice person!!! We fully recommend him for any computer issues. Kathy and Mike read more

If you have compter problems Dan is your man. Reasonable, informative and gets the job done

Very unprofessional, he told me my apple laptop was ruined and offered me $30 for it with it's "damaged motherboard" I ended up taking it to apple, they replaced the hard drive and it has worked fine since. Also I wouldn't reccomend going to his apartment alone. He was courteous upon me dropping off my laptop but upon pick up he asked if I wanted some wine and if I was single making me feel real uncomfortable. He finally got the point and let me leave with my computer but gosh what a creep. read more

Last Sunday my computer crashed, I had neglected to back up my data, and I was definitely worried. I called several places that day and Dan was the only one to pick up right away. He calmly worked with my situation, and despite already having a very full slate, helped me recover my data the same day. Dan never rushed me and maintained excellent communication about how the work was progressing. I really appreciated that he took the time to explain what was happening with the computer, and in understandable terms (even for not so tech-savvy people like me!). There was a quick turnaround on the computer despite the fact it turned out to have numerous issues. And, although he quoted me for fixing a single hardware issue, he went well above and beyond in his comprehensive approach to the repair. It is rare to find such an honest technician who looks out for his clients' interests to the extent he does. I would definitely recommend him to anyone with any kind of computer repair problem. read more

I recently needed to find a reputable and knowledgeable PC repair person as my computer was starting to give me some issues I could not diagnose nor repair. I searched many on- line sites for reviews and found the overwhelmingly positive Yelp reviews on him be be believable and realistic, so I emailed Dan initially to inquire about the issues I was having. He answered my email in less than 10 minutes (his website promises less than 30 minutes for him to reply which is already amazing!). We chatted and that same day he remotely accessed my PC and fixed my issues! Last week my PC really started doing bad things so I called on him again and he once again accessed my PC and it was fascinating to be on the phone with him while watching him bravely start diagnosing...and soon he found the issue - one of my mirrored drives was failing. I work from my home office and rely heavily on my PC and Dan not only said he could fix this, but that he would do it that weekend! And he did! I just got the PC back home and it's running better than ever! He goes the extra mile too as he updated a few things while he was at it and even cleaned the PC! This guy is humble, extraordinarily gifted in his craft, more professional than most any service person I have ever dealt with, and cheerfully answers all my questions! Even his price is reasonable! Dan, thank you again for all of your help and know I will be your loyal customer forEVER! read more

My wife, Rosie, and I called Dan about a problem we were having getting Windows Live Mail working with gmail accounts on Comcast's Xfinity internet. While Dan stated he was not very familiar with Live Mail, he went right ahead and talked us through the process and checked that everything was working. Since it took about 30 minutes to do this we asked how much we owed him. He said it was a quick call and nothing. My wife said that she would like to call him in the future on other items like this and insisted on sending him a check. She made an offer and asked it that was OK. He said, yes, that was about the right amount for a half hour, so that was perfect. I am sure that we will be calling him in the future to help walk us through some software configuring issues or other problems. This exceeded our expectations and solved issues we had been struggling with for a couple of weeks. Well done! read more

This was my first time using Keating Technical Consulting. I did so based on the 5 Start Yelp reviews I read beforehand. I took three laptops in to see what Dan could do for them. Two had developed issues at about the same time and a third was one I assumed was not worth repairing. I was getting ready to sell the third one for parts, but decided to give Dan a try with it. Dan was very busy, but managed to turn them all around in about a week. I was just amazed at the very reasonable price he charged for all three. He was able to put a new hard drive in my "parts" laptop and now it's like having a new one. I had tried putting a different hard drive in it and using restore discs, but for some reason couldn't succeed in getting the discs to work. Dan had no problem at all. He explained the problem with the other two and they are also working like new. Dan is very busy and I can see why. People will keep coming back because of his superior service and great pricing. Next month I plan on taking an older desktop to him that my kids play on. If you're wondering whether to try getting your laptop repaired or buy a new one, don't hesitate to take your computer to Dan for his opinion first. Dan told me that all of his business is referral only and I can see why. He's outstanding. Thank you Dan! read more
