    My new/refurbished 2017 MacBook Pro from MPC. We are beyond happy with the service.
    Janie J.

    Thomas and team were absolutely amazing!!!! My 2012 MacBook Pro screen was cracked. They checked it out and ordered a new screen and replaced it. Unfortunately as we found out two screens later it was my system not their work. But they never gave up nor charged a dime extra to get me up and running. During Covid Mail delivery has been slow. Because I had to still work from home, Thomas went above and beyond and provided me a loaner monitor to plug into my Mac and I could keep working till we had this all handled. Because of their AWESOME service, my daughters and I ended up buying 3 Mac's from Thomas and we are beyond happy. For repairs, sales and customer service Thomas and his team at MPC are my go to from now on for all electronics.

    Comparable cards from MSI on Amazon $50-100 more than MPC's $200. Earliest (Prime) delivery date in SIX DAYS.

    I've been going to MPC for 17 years (2 locations). Tom is a great guy and extremely helpful. Today, I got an entry-level gaming graphics card. (PNY GTX 1650) for $200. SAME card on Amazon is over $300 (best price I could find, shipped) with 30-day delivery date. Im a Prime member, that's awful. Similar cards from MSI were $250-300, prime delivery in 6 days was $280. Electronics and computer components are a fluctuating commodity market. One must know what they want in their computer and get educated on the components that will fit the bill. Tom and his staff will take the time to explain such things if you're not an expert. You will NOT get that on Amazon, or usually at Fry's (The "F" word.) I've seen Tom show a great ability to adjust his explanations to fit the customer's knowledge. He can talk over locking the latest socket 1200 CPUs with a hardcore tech customer, then shift gears to gather info and explain pros & cons to a novice, putting her at ease. More important than just the rock bottom price (which I think Tom cannot always offer on every item), is having a FULL SERVICE, CUSTOMER-ORIENTED BRICK & MORTAR STORE in our community. So valuable: so convenient. I have not gotten ALL of my computers/components at MPC, so I'm well-versed on other retail & internet sources. But I keep coming back to MPC because their combination of price, service, information and same-day retail experience is unbeatable. ALSO, MPC's "Weekly Flyer" on their web page is practically a public service! In compact form, it lists wide ranges of components, systems, market/sale prices, all organized/labelled with socket/port compatibility. The flyer is a goldmine of the premium, 2nd tier, to entry-level market/pricing data for EVERYTHING PC and other products. I don't chase the technology curve by getting the absolute latest & greatest CPU/GPU etc. MPC can provide new release hardware, too. But if you want to exploit the savings available for getting, say, 9th generation CPUs instead of 10th, or get simple solutions for a small business that only needs to run MS Office, maybe some database, and access a LAN/WAN/internet, then MPC can help you buy the PC you need, and not also pay for bells & whistles you don't need (but would get & pay for from big box retail/internet sources) . I've built my own systems (or used Macs) for over 25 years, with one exception where I had MPC built a custom office workstation for me.... but I've referred a number of other lawyers/CPAs and small office professionals (not particularly tech-savvy types) to Tom at MPC for workstations/software builds. I always get rave feedback and usually hear how they saved hundreds compared to Dell (or Gateway way back when it existed) by having Tom's folks at MPC build a custom solution for them. Tom has expanded into surveillance gear/electronics and has had a channel of distribution for prior generation Mac products. I still have a MacBookPro i7 I got from MPC around 5 years ago for less than $500 and it's still my daily laptop at home. Thanks for everything Tom, and FIGHT ON! Joe

    I was gonna order my pc parts online but I like the convenience of having everything local (in case anything didn't work). I came into the store with a part list to build a gaming computer from scratch and they had almost everything i wanted except the motherboard. Tom quickly helped me find a similar replacement. Everything i bought worked and turned out great! I called them probably 6 times to ask questions during the build and no matter how busy they were they answered my questions and helped me find solutions. I am extremely satisfied and will be continuing to come to them for any computer parts and accessories. Tom is very informative and helps explain any components and their differences if needed. Excellent Service!

    Thanks very much MPC Electronic for solving the problem you are the best in electronics.

    I don't know where to start but there were so many attempts and failures. I had bought a Dell monitor online and the cables or inputs were totally different. To connect to my computer I was like this for up to a month without seeing my monitor turned on, I bought so many cables, trying many times I felt defeated. I went to Best buy, it is only a monitor sales warehouse and other things, a worker was not so efficient in telling me the truth, lack of experience. I searched in Google and I found the best electronic store. They solved the problem for me in seconds, they returned that happiness to me seeing my computer turned on for the first time. They changed my computer disk for an HDMI wow! I saw it and I don't believe it, it was in seconds the truth, you don't think about it anymore. I recommend it 100%, very experts and professionals know what they do. Now I can say it is my favorite store and do not think twice if you have a problem with your monitor or computer, it is already solved. the best in electronics of San Diego I want to congratulate you and give you 5 stars. I recommend it 100%, you will not regret it or lose your money.Thanks very much for your big help!! You are the best in electronic.

    Some very nice stuff for PCs on display

When I scanned the QR code on the digital shelf tag, it showed a price of $383. The tag itself showed $439, and the cameras were sitting directly behind that tag inside the glass case labeled "Action Pro 2." I asked a sales associate if the price could be honored if that's what it scanned, and he told me yes. Based on that, I brought the camera to the front. At checkout I was then told the price was actually $419 and that the QR code was for a different product. The problem is the camera was placed directly behind that tag and barcode inside a locked glass case. If a product is behind glass with a label and barcode directly in front of it, customers will reasonably believe that tag belongs to that item. Misplaced products and incorrect shelf labels are misleading and should be honored. That is a store merchandising issue, not a customer mistake. The staff helping me was friendly, but the manager's response felt dismissive when I tried to explain the confusion.

Checked out their website, then gave them a call about cleaning up my Mac before my vacation. I put it off to the last minute and wasn't sure they could help. Luckily, they could help me, and the rush fee was $100. I love that fact they picked up the phone and it wasn't some dead doornail employee who could care less about my computer issue. Chris, the owner, actually answered the phone. He said to bring it down. I came in that same day and he told me they would: clean it up, install new OS, remove junk, and speed it up overall. He quoted me end of the week, but it was ready sooner, so happy about because it would be ready for vacation. Total came out to about $430 with the rush fee. It's been about 6 weeks now and my computer is running amazing, so fast! They also have refurbished Macs for sale, which I'll be back for when my current computer stops working. Super 5 Stars for DC Computers! They care about their business and customers. So glad I found them.

As someone who has a small business, seeing their attention to detail was inspiring, it actually makes me want to be a better expert in my own field!

I marked that I was on my way got there, checked in with my spot number and waited and waited. After about 10 minutes I started noticing cars that arrived after me were already getting their orders and leaving. This kept happening over and over. Meanwhile, I was on my way to an event in LA and already on a time crunch, so every minute mattered. After waiting over 35 minutes with no updates at all, I tried flagging down employees and even had to honk just to get someone's attention. When someone finally came over, who was actually one of the leads, I was told they couldn't find my item and that employees were still looking for it. That was one of the most frustrating parts that no communication was given. If I had known earlier, I could of just canceled and gone inside or made other plans instead of sitting there pressed for time. That being said, my most recent visit was actually fast and smooth. Everything came out quickly, and the experience was what curbside should be. So overall, it really depends. When it's good, it's great, but when it's not the lack of communication can be a big issue. Hoping the consistency improves because curbside here has a lot of potential!

Came in today to see if they could remove a stripped screw. Said "$35 if we could take it out". $35 for a stripped screw. I respected it regardless and said ok. 45 minutes later told me they couldn't and then showed me an even worse screw. First of all, the technician of the shop didn't talk to me then. It was another employee who couldn't tell much about the result, besides that they couldn't. I had to ask for the tech, and then when he came out, he didn't tell me anything besides that "he tried" and ignored me, looking at his TV or something. I walked away and he sarcastically told me to "have a good day" afterwards. I came back after looking at the device and seeing how badly they messed it up. Told me that they worked for "free" and that I was "bitching" and told me to "get the fuck out of here". Firstly, why would you pay anyone for a failed repair, much less one that made more damage? I understand that he worked for the device to be fixed, but now I have no way to repair this device because of the damage that the technician made. I wanted a fair shake, but instead he cursed me out. I would rate it lower if I could!!
