    text chain part 3

    WARNING: If you purchase a laptop screen replacement from Steven, it is only covered by a 3 month warranty. He uses cheap and faulty screens and then expects you to replace your screen in 5-6 months. He is a scam artist. Initially, Steven reached out to me when I asked for quotes on Yelp for my cracked screen. He was fast and polite in his reply and quoted me a fair amount. I drove all the way to his shop on 7212 1/2 S Broadway Los Angeles, CA 90003. Which was quite the drive, but he seemed trustworthy enough. The repair was done quickly and he even dropped the laptop off at my residence when it was repaired. So far, it was an excellent experience and I was very pleased with his professionalism. He assured me that he installed a high quality screen in my computer. However, now 5 months after the repair, the bottom of my screen has what are called "stage lights", caused by a faulty cable attached to the screen. After consulting with other repairmen, they confirmed it was due to cheap wiring and a cheap screen. They also said it should have been covered by at least a 6 month warranty. I texted Steven today with my screen problem. He first offered to replace my screen with a new screen for $289 (5 months later). I then explained that it should be covered under warranty. He then attempted to gaslight me into thinking it was another issue, which I didn't fall for. He then simply stated that the screen only had a 90 day warranty. He refused to fix the problem. I'm attaching our entire text chain below so you can see his 90 day screen policy in writing. You'll also be able to see his true character.

    Steven has helped me tremendously. I brought in my Mac A107 for screen. There were more issues than expected and he finished earlier than agreed. He helped fix and update my logic board, backlight, and screen repair for the best price ever! Thank you again for your hard work and dedication.

    I've been a client of Steven for a few years now and he has always come through for all of my computer repair needs! He is extremely skilled at what he does! He will give you a very detailed report of your computer and do a thorough diagnostic that goes into the very specific details on the workings of your computer. I was blown away by Steven's tremendous knowledge in computer science and circuitry! For e.g. in my particular case, I had a high/low voltage coming from the logic board, the power transmitter of the retina light wasn't working properly, a bad circuit, and a few other things (my laptop wasn't working which is why I had brought it to Steven). He knows his stuff! In addition to his professionalism, he is a down-to-earth and humble guy who genuinely cares about helping you with your computer repairs. His passion and integrity in the field of computer science and technology is super inspiring. On top of that, he saved me hundreds of dollars. Communication was great, he answered all my questions with kindness and professionalism, and he's a really nice guy! It'll be one of the best decisions you can make for your computer repairs if you go to Steven~ I'm so happy with the entire experience and I'll be referring my friends to him too. Thanks so much for everything Steven and for all your kindness

    This dude is rude as hell. Incredibly unprofessional. You can find better elsewhere for sure! Tried to work with Steven about a time sensitive screen replacement on a Sunday morning. I texted him LIKE HE ASKED ME TO, and had several questions to help me very figure out whether I wanted to get the part myself or let him handle (because I needed the service ASAP and he was talking up to 5 days just to order the part). He eventually just stopped responding, meanwhile other shops were giving me answers in a timely manner. I go to another shop 1st thing in morning the next day, who handles my screen in ONE HOUR of me walking through the door. Meanwhile Steven finally decides to respond, mid-day next day (despite claiming to be a 7-day open business). When I politely let him know someone got to me quicker. He takes it upon himself to lie to my face saying I contacted him at midnight and was being wishy-washy (all you had to do was answer the question like literally 6 other shops did in minutes) so therefore it's "Not our fault". Who the hell does that!? Just move on! Steven is an asshole and doesn't deserve your business. I know Steven LOVES to talk back and play the victim so let me provide the easily retrieved proof that I did NOT "contact him at midnight"

    All brand new!

    I needed my Macbook screen fixed and he was there to help. I got quotes from multiple shops on here and Steven gave me the best value. Loved working with Steven! He was very quick to get back to me, the service looks amazing, and goes above and beyond anything I expected! He picked up and dropped my computer, made sure I got it by the deadline I needed. He can definitely count on me to come back and recommend in the future!

    Replaced a broken charging port on my MSI GF75 Thin 10SCXK. Charged a very fair price, and was quick to respond to my inquiries. They even delivered it to me, which was very helpful.

    MacBook Air good as new

    I am a return customer of Steven Rivas Computer repair. My first visit was to upgrade my 2009 Macbook, it is a cult classic among the mac community and it is so fast and efficient now. My 2nd computer (2020 MacBook Air) had the dreaded black screen. Steven is very professional, helpful and gets the job done. I definitely recommend his service without hesitation.

    I reached out to fix my computer screen after having an good experience buying it from this place in April. I was told I had a warranty on the computer at the time of purchase but after bringing this up, he said that this was considered "accidental damage" and would have to pay. Not being tech savvy, I explained that I hadn't stepped on or dropped my computer so I could not understand why I opened it one morning and half the screen was white. As you can see from the screenshots below, he was very rude in addressing me. I would absolutely not recommend bringing your devices here if you're looking for someone with any respect for his customers.

    Actual payments made to Steven Rivas. $748 for MacBook upgrade $284 for iMac

Harout quickly diagnosed the situation and replaced the access point as well as installed a new system under my control. He tested my other access points (which are old), which we had discussed replacing but after doing factory resets didn't need replacing. He honored is initial consult quote and came out at the end of the day ON THE DAY I SUBMITTED THE REQUEST. Excellent service - he is now our home IT guy.

    Secure Sight did a great job for me -- I had them run 27 ethernet runs into a network closet, and…read moremounted 3 access points, 5 cameras, a couple chimes, and many wall jacks with cat6a. All in a tight 1.5 week time window. I had just purchased a new-to-me, but old, house, and I wanted to get ethernet in every room, with cameras on all the angles I care about, and a couple extras for potential future projects. I have my own network gear, but I didn't want to do the runs myself. Harout, Sevak, and Victor were great. They answered my inquiry quickly, came out to inspect (with 2 people), gave me an immediate quote, and walked through their estimation about how'd they'd do it. I got multiple other quotes for the same job. Secure Sight was not the cheapest, but it had the greatest value, and the job was amazing. Harout replied to every inquiry very quickly. They took 4 days for my run, and it was not an easy job -- my house is on a hill and it is difficult to do the runs I requested. I was amazed at the minimal amount of holes they needed to do to actually fish everything up, and they did it better than I could have imagined -- making the holes on the outside in invisible places, covered by color-matched covers. They even talked me through potential other places to mount things to prevent extra holes in my drywall. They went above and beyond and told me that they noticed I may not have a suitable coax cable wired to my house for cable internet, and helped me talk through the tech that arrived to do the coax run in a way that would minimize anything visible on the house, and even helped the tech run the coax in. Amazing job, would recommend for anything you need here -- I was familiar with the gear I wanted exactly, and they respected it and hooked everything up. They are also knowledgeable about the gear if you aren't and would be familiar enough to walk you through it. If anything is amiss, Harout personally takes it upon himself to make sure it's perfect, even after the job is done.
