I had a terrifying moment last week where my iMac filled up with an insane amount of useless data, and got to the point where it wouldn't turn on. I am a wedding photographer, so 80% of what I do is on my computer (editing). I tried not to panic right away, and gave apple support a call. Everything that they told me I had already found online, and already tried. My conversation ended with them saying, "Sorry, there's nothing further we can do, you need to wipe your computer." They were so useless and unhelpful. As soon as I gave the Tech Doctor's a call, they immediately restored all of my hope. They reassured me they would be able to help in some way, if not, completely fix the problem. Within 30 minutes of hanging up I was in my car driving to Carpinteria with my iMac. Henri greeted me at their office and was eager to help! I sat with him for about 20 minutes while he worked to get to the root of the problem. SO kind, respectful, knowledgable, professional. I can't say enough good things about my experience here. I ended up leaving my computer there for the weekend to reboot, picked it up the next week and it was like new, and EVERYTHING was intact. Literally saved my @$$. Hands down the best computer repair company I have ever worked with. Don't even bother looking somewhere else to get your stuff fixed, take it to the tech doctors, they will not disappoint! read more

they were very helpful. I went to the mac store and the mac repair shop; i was charged over $300, had to wait several days, for something Henri at Dukky did in an hour for much less. it seems so many stores make computer services seem like a big deal when they are easily reparable - probably just to charge you more. Before i came in for my appointment, Henri researched what apps would be best for my new pc ( I transferred from apple), and then quickly helped me out. the owner also fixed my iphone screen in less than 20 minutes. relaxed and nice atmosphere. Additionally, my family home is out in the wilderness. For 10 years our internet never worked consistently. We hired countless people who didn't help. Henri came to the house and fixed everything in a day. no more problems. Thank you! read more

These guys are awesome! I heard great things about them and last year had them change out the HD in my iMac. This time I asked them to reorganize a 2TB iTunes music library spread out over 4 separate external drives, with numerous duplications and my computer pointing seemingly arbitrarily to different drives for different files. Basically, it was a mess and a disaster waiting to happen. I honestly didn't think there was any way they were going to be able to reorganize it all on a single drive without losing or jumbling files, but they assured me they could and would and, indeed, they did. And at a very reasonable price and with a smile. We are fortunate to have Tech Doctors in our little beach town and I wouldn't think of going anywhere else for tech work. read more

I had the blue death screen with a Bitlocker endless cycle from hell for a couple days after my laptop crashed after I tried to reinstall Windows 10. The online site makes it sound like they are booked for weeks, but a phone call led to Henri at the Carpinteria Tech Doctors the same morning. By the next day I was back in business with the laptop in hand and the charges were clear and reasonable. I referred my wife with her ongoing annoying slowdowns and lockouts on her computer and Henri was very straightforward with his analysis/prognosis was that her $ was better spent on a new one than paying him for an expensive repair. Seems like a stand up guy and a good operation here in Carp. I would recommend A+. read more

What a great experience! When I brought my computer to Henry there were multiple issues with my 2012 MacBook Pro - liquid damage to the keyboard, slow/old hard drive, loose screen. He explained what the issues were, how he planned to fix them, and what the estimated cost would be. A few hours later my computer was fixed and ready to go for exactly the (very fair) price he quoted. When I asked if I needed more memory to increase the speed he said there was no need, and he was right. His work brought new life to my computer, and I'm thrilled with he results! If you are looking for a repair service that is responsive, friendly, quick and honest, I highly recommend Henry at Dukky Computer Repair and Recovery. read more

20 years ago I felt I was computer savvy--no more. I use Tech Doctors at least 10 times yearly for various tasks or training. Need a new machine set up, transfer files from the old device to the new one, correct a glitch in your email, need a new WIFI system, or recover lost data on your hard drive. CALL TECH DOCTORS. These guys may not be able to fix every problem you may encounter but if they can't fix it or the cost will surpass the price of buying a new machine, they will tell you upfront be for you waste your money on expensive repairs. These guys are a pleasure to work with and offer a friendly, reasonably-priced service. I highly recommend them! Charles G. read more

Excellent Service I highly recommend Tech Doctors for any of your computer needs. I spilled water directly into the vent of my computer , and I was devastated when I thought I would have to completely replace it. Henri and the team were very communicative and honest about pricing, length of time for repair, and wiping the computer to begin repairing. You can tell the entire team takes pride in their work which is hard to find nowadays. On top of all of this, they were extremely accommodating and graceful when I wasn't able to pick up my computer on time. I will definitely return if I need help with any type of general maintenance for any of my devices! read more

I felt hesitant to have a remote service call because I had never done it before but once we got going it was great to have my problem fixed that way. I needed a missing piece of data for my new printer for the scanning part as well as some other fixes. I received recommendations and professional service. I was happy to get my scanner working and some other adjustments to my WIndows 11 which had changed some aspects of my online experiences. It was worth what I paid for this assistance. read more

Amazing service right in downtown Carpinteria right behind Nutbelly Pizza! It was so great to not have to drive to Santa Barbara or Ventura for service. They were super responsive on Yelp, and quickly repaired my computer (in about a day) and returned my old drive to me. The price was very reasonable, especially considering the quick turnaround. Previously when I sent computers off to Apple, they were gone for a week. Great local business worth supporting! read more

I brought in my 3 year old IMac that was never fast and just kept getting slower. Henri took it the same day I called, put in a new solid state drive, transferred all my files and data, and had it ready to go the next day. When I picked it up Henri helped me out with a few basic questions about my computer that had been bugging me. I brought it home plugged it in, and it's lightning fast! No more frustrations! Sooo much better! Highly recomend. read more

I had an issue with my computer, thinking it might have a virus. It turned out that I had just logged on to a bad site but no major issues. I was very pleased to have the Tech Doctors check it out to make sure everything was okay. I'm now back in operation with peace of mind. They have helped me out with various issues over the years and I am always grateful for their fast service. read more

Would recommend 100 percent! Henri was awesome, he had amazing costumer service. I needed a new battery in my Mac Book Pro and the mouse pad wasn't working properly, Dukky repair had it replaced in minutes and even fixed the mouse pad at no extra cost! Forget the Apple Store, this place is has no wait and reasonable prices for the same result! Thanks again and keep up the good work! read more

My refurbished laptop (purchased elsewhere) had an issue with freezing easily when moved or having the power cable plugged/unplugged, and another issue where it sometimes (and eventually always) wouldn't power on at all. Henri replaced the CMOS battery and reseated the RAM, and I got the computer back the next day working better than when I first got it! Definitely recommend! read more

Tech Doctors are by far the best tech service I've found in my long life. They have helped me with everything from fixing a modern digital recording rig to re-wiring an old tube radio from the 1940's. Henry at the Carpinteria location is an absolute wizard and put me on a new computer system that has changed my life no cap. Thank you Tech Doctors!! -Will Loomis read more

By far the best repairs and data recovery in SB! Anytime I have any technical issues with either my Mac or PC, I take it to Henri who's knowledgeable and can explain even the most confusing concepts in layman's terms. In this hectic digital world, its calming to know who I can turn to when the shit hits the fan (or hard drive). read more
