DO NOT GIVE THIS MAN YOUR TECH. **VERY SKETCHY** DO NOT GO TO HIS HOUSE EITHER. (PICS INCLUDED)…read more TLDR: he took my solid state drive and won't give it back. ghosting my texts and calls since May 14th, 2024 in beginning of May 2024, i contacted (i believe his name is Charles, older fellow, i believe uses a cane) Main Street Computers to save my solid state drive that was recently damaged. Promised he was the best in the area on this service, even gloated it's his specialty. Told me to drive to his house in Sebastopol/Graton and drop the solid state off. Interaction was a little weird (social skills and ques wise) but he was confident and promised me he would be done within the week. I also gave him an external hard drive to use in case he needed more space for the recovery. Calls me two days later and says he's done. I got to his house, invited me in, and inside he handed me the invoice; however, as i was about to sign. i realized he didn't recover the files on my computer, but the 3 videos saved on the external hard drive and just slapped them into the computer... -_- I told him and he was not happy. i then realized - inside his kitchen and dining area - he had a set up of 3 cameras all around the space. one at the end of the dining area, one in the kitchen, one at the end of the living space (kind of down the hall). he exclaimed, "F*ck, Dammit", then promised me he'd do it right this time within the next couple days. the next day he calls me to return with my laptop as the solid state was encrypted. i arrived at 9:17 pm. i knocked on the door a couple times, heard some arguing upstairs so i waited on the porch. I then called him and then he said he'd come downstairs. i then hear some running, a couple second go by, and then i heard him coming down the stairs inside. He takes a brisk look at me, he looked a bit confused. out of it. he then takes 2 steps towards me and FALLS AGAINST THE WALL!!! I then thought he could've been drunk or on some something(?) I thought maybe i should go inside and pick him up, but i felt a weird energy and felt very skeptical, so i yelled through the door if he was okay. he just laid there. i then noticed the cameras outside on the porch too. this whole thing felt so on purpose. flight or flight came on so i ran back to my car. i looked behind me as i drove away and noticed a different man had ran outside, standing and watching me drive away, right where i stood. i drove to a lit gas station, gathered myself, and texted him if he was okay. he said "yes just hurt like hell." i couldn't shake off the thought that this was an attempted kidnapping or robbery. felt very much like a set up. to this day, he won't respond to any calls or texts. he also still has my solid state drive... thinking of getting the police involved. honestly i'm DEVASTED. I had very important files for my business and client's projects in that solid state. i was young when i started this business and did not know to back up files to an external. i then lost those clients, as well as all my personal files. an absolute NIGHTMARE

He ended up putting my hard drive in an old laptop which he had, which was NOT as he represented. when I took it to another repair shop later the tech pointed out how poorly the work had been done. The owner did not return my calls. I desperately needed it for a day, when I didnt hear from him I stopped by but he was not in. Some woman answered the door and promised to get the message to him. I called again later that evening, no answer. So I stopped by in the morning, after 8 am and knocked on the door. He came to the door without a shirt or t-shirt on. He was SWEARING at me. He handed me back my computer and REFUSED to finish the work I had already paid for. then he followed me to my car, and then stood behind my car and leaned against it, blocking me from leaving! I found out much later that he LIED about what he had done, made false claims about me and what I had said. BEWARE OF THIS BUSINESS!!!
