He got the job done in a reasonable and timely manner and made sure we got the best quality work. I couldn't recommend him more, and I'll definitely be going back if I have more printing needs.

When something happens or if I have a question, I feel like it gets handled almost immediately. The other thing that I really like is the training that's available. Smack Happy has really empowered me to update things on our website myself. I love that they make these videos for me just showing me how to do things and I've gone back and referenced them a few times. We are a small business, so everybody wears a lot of hats. The website is not really one of my hats, it just sort of falls in my lap. With Smack Happy, I'm able to talk to them about what's in my head, what I want to do, and then they just kind of run with it. I feel like generally everyone I've worked with has always been very easy to talk to, and very professional.

I contacted two other repair shops, but they didn't handle Macs or water damage. Thankfully, I found San Francisco Bay Computer Services. They quoted me $467 for the repair, which included a screen with the Apple logo. I paid a 50% deposit, and they ordered the part, which arrived in just one day. I dropped off the laptop in the morning and picked it up the same day--fully repaired and working perfectly! They also provided a 30-day warranty on labor and assured me the parts have a manufacturer warranty. To top it off, I received a 20% discount on labor for my next visit (not that I hope to need it anytime soon!). Ed was responsive on the phone and texted me when laptop was ready for pickup. Their professionalism, efficiency, and fair pricing make them stand out. I highly recommend this business to anyone in need of computer repairs, especially for Macs!

The day before I was supposed to pick it up, they called me and told me they had "lost" my stole. Instead of taking accountability, they told me to go buy another stole myself and that they would embroider the replacement "on the spot." I ended up taking time off work trying to deal with this mess, and to make things worse, I could barely even get ahold of the store while trying to figure out what was going on. When I asked if they could at least reimburse me for losing my stole, they told me they couldn't because they were "no longer making a profit" off my order. There was little to no apology, no urgency, and absolutely no professionalism. Then after all the back and forth, they suddenly "found" my stole and told me to come pick it up at 5:30. It became pretty obvious that they never actually lost it -- they just lied about it to buy themselves more time. This was one of the most stressful customer service experiences I've had, especially considering this was for a major life event. Really shitty service. I would not recommend trusting them with anything important or time-sensitive.
