The screen had lines and would black out, making the laptop unusable. When I took it to the Apple Store, I was quoted $1,100 just to send it in for diagnosis, or $1,400 for a new laptop. 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!

He did not have to do that. But he wanted to make sure I didn't get scr3w3d over. He didn't want to see me fail. For that reason, Piedmont Avenue will be the first place I come to once I'm ready for a deeper strategic conversation and more hands-on assistance. Will update once I have more to say. Thanks David!

Some may disagree with the ratings and some will love you for it. I love when I am traveling and I check on Yelp for my surrounding restaurants and shops to venture out. I especially get all giddy when I find a restaurant with over 5K of positive reviews! I turn into a little Sherlock Holmes ready to investigate and indulge that exquisite dish! What is even more incredible about Yelp is the people! Most maybe virtual reality friends, but I have met so many AWESOME and ABOVE and BEYOND people. I have messaged people about stuff, and I get heartfelt responses. People taking the time to give you suggestions or just a "Have a great day" kind of thing! I feel very fortunate and blessed! I am rambling..... See you on Yelp ( SYOY ) !!!

Unfortunately, our metro is ^once again out a community manager. So sometimes it's a little sad to see all of the incredible Yelp elite events that we don't get to participate in. It was so much better when Ventura and Santa Barbara were separate, but for some reason Yelp combined them into the central coast. It's never been the same since they made that merge. :-( But trying to stay hopeful that we will have a community manager soon and be able to network with each other and local businesses. My motto is the more you put in the more you get back. Yelp works when you work it. And I have had some incredible dining experiences and exposure to local businesses. And I do have Yelp to thank for that. Thanks Yelp!

I had called his office and Tom had responded to look into it, but I have now been ignored by Tom as well. As of 2/1/2024 (one year later!!), I have sent an email to Jason and Tom to just close the project. They can refund me some portion of my 100% paid job, but they have not responded. I have changed the password to my web hosting as a precaution. I am willing to call this a loss and mark it as a lesson learned working with design companies.

I handed them my master CD, and after that I was sold ... While they also do data CD replication as well, it's obvious the people who work there are interested in music and personal promotion. All the CDs I've had made are top quality. The graphics always come out looking great (they've even phoned me when they think I've made a mistake), they are always prompt or early with their delivery, and since it's in town I can come pick them up and save on shipping. The only beef I have with them is the price ... they aren't exactly cheap. You can use this coupon code for a one-time 10% off: SR-P71820

Inept idiots. I was…read morewaiting for CreateSpace to validate my order and wanted to do an early cheap run of my new album. First, as a VERY MAJOR WTF, is that when you log in, not only do your credentials get sent in plaintext, it actually passes in your email address and password on the URL. This means that anyone can look at your browser history and get your password. There are all sorts of fun XSS vectors that can be used to get that, and of course any HTTP proxy that is recording a connection log will just have that stuff for free. VERY insecure, VERY stupid. I can understand if they were feeling lazy about auth and HTTPS and just wanted to return a single-use session identifier, but using the password in the query string? STUPID. The only reason I found that out, incidentally, was I tried logging in again from a different browser (this issue wasn't there on the account creation page), because their .wav file uploader (a very badly-written Java applet) was rejecting my .wav files as being "corrupted," despite these .wav files being perfectly usable and working in every other piece of software. I switched browsers because maybe it was having trouble with Chrome, but Firefox was having trouble too. It turned out that the issue was that Logic emits some (perfectly legal) metadata chunks for various uses, and their validator was barfing on those. So I submitted a customer service request, and their response was extremely condescending, and said that if it's saying my files are corrupted then they must be and I should upload them as MP3 instead. Uh, WHAT?! You do not use MP3s as a delivery format for CD audio! So I replied saying that mp3 is not a suitable master delivery format, and the next condescending response was that "mp3 works just fine for our other customers." There were some other weird issues too, even before I got to that point; for example, their artwork templates show a huge unsafe crop region (which means that they must have very very high tolerances on their printing processes — some tolerance is acceptable but this had a "safe area" of close to half an inch!) and also for images it was very unclear as to whether they were using the pixel sizes or the DPI sizes, but in any case they wanted something that was marked as 300DPI (i.e. I had to use Photoshop's "save as copy" rather than "save for web" to get the metadata set correctly) and a particular pixel resolution, but they wouldn't say what that resolution was, which made me worry that the positioning and sizing was just going to be all sorts of weird arbitrary with shitty nearest-neighbor filtering or something similarly messed-up. So, no, avoid Mixonic. They are a service by the clueless, for the clueless. So what if they cost only $2.50/copy? You totally get what you pay for. The best bit: there's no way to close your account, so I changed my password to "mixonic_sucks" so that I could safely take a screenshot of the login process that shows how stupid it is. (And of course the password change form items went into the URL as well.) Then I logged out, and tried to log back in — and the password field only accepts an 8-character password. Which was not enforced or even hinted at on the password change form, so now I can't even access the account. (Fortunately I had deleted my content first. I'm not positive it's actually gone from there, but whatever.) Miserable failure of a shitty ass company. How are they still around?

The reds on my outdoor signs faded, and when I called him to discuss, he came out to see the work, patiently explained to me about the chemistry involved in paint, and the new EPA regulations that affect pigment, especially reds, and then redid the signs AT NO CHARGE. 2. Scooter is diligent. Sometimes it seems to me that he works slower than I would be on a project, but I am a bit of a slapdash, and he is not. The work gets done, sometimes slower than one would expect, but it is done to an extremely high standard, and (see #1) if not, he stands by his work. 3. For the quality of the work, he is quite reasonable. Sure you can go to a sign franchise and get machine produced stuff, but there is a difference. Ultimately will your customer notice the difference between fine artisan quality work and something from FASTSIGNS? Who knows, but you sure will when you open your shop every day. I am a small business that sells artisanal products, so it's important to me that all of my collateral reflect that. Your business might be different... 4. In reading the one and two star reviews, the complaints seem to be that Scooter is a bit uncommunicative when it comes to complaints and timelines. I've never found him to be so, and he is always accurate with his estimates of time and cost, and when he couldn't meet a deadline, he let me know. He's as honest as the day is long; but he does march to the beat of a slightly slower drummer than some of us.
