Before moving to Fresno, I worked for a semiconductor manufacturer in the 'Silicon Valley'. One day last week, my Windows 10 desktop computer decided not to boot to the desktop. I performed some Windows updates the day prior, and coincidentally, the computer would not boot to a state where I could try to return to a restoration point. So, it was time to try and find someone with the tech 'savvy' to restore/repair it. After a quick search on the web, I identified Valley Support, as my choice, based on their customer ratings, and the content of said ratings. I called and talked to Carlos, who is a 'one man show'. He listened to what I had to say about my issue, and suggested that I bring my computer in for a quick diagnosis. I took it in that same day, and had the pleasure of meeting, and speaking with, Carlos. He is very knowledgeable, and has a great understanding of the inner workings of computers and software. I left the computer with Carlos so that he could take a deeper look. I received an update from him later that same afternoon with the problem diagnosis. He, also, called to follow-up and suggested/recommended a data back-up, SSD drive to replace my corrupted hard drive, and a suite of beneficial software programs that would not only protect my computer, but also make it more efficient moving forward. Windows 10 would be re-installed as well. The cost of the repair, and software addition/installation, was extremely reasonable, and made a great deal of sense. I opted to go with his suggestion/recommendation. The work was completed in a couple of days, and exceeded my expectations. All the while he made sure that the impact on me was minimal. Customer service as it should be. Although the majority of my data was recovered, specific programs still had to be re-installed. Nothing out of the ordinary for a repair of this nature. I completed the program re-installation in a couple of days, and now have my fully functioning Windows 10 computer back. I had to call after the fact, and have him help me with a re-installation issue I encountered with my scanner. Again, he was very willing to help me with the issue, and resolved the issue over the phone. I can't begin to say enough about Carlos and his customer service, communication, and extremely high level of computer related knowledge. I highly recommend, without reservation, Carlos, and Valley Support, for any/all computer related issues that might present themselves. read more

Earlier this year, I encountered a very serious problem with my 2T external hard drive. While on a trip, I had uploaded my daily photo shoots onto my 10" notebook I use for travel. Upon returning home I then transfer theses files into my 2T external hard drive. When I got ready to edit these photos from this last trip on my home computer, I brought up these files from the 2T external hard drive (HD). These files originally came up on the home computer laptop screen, but then right before my very eyes, these files started disappearing off the computer screen!! I tried to bring these files up again from the 2T external HD, but these files from my last trip were all gone!! I did a total search on the 2T HD, but these files could not be found. I found Carlos Diaz Yelp for laptops and data recovery. I spoke with him over the phone about all my issues. He explained what might had occurred, and also that my 2T HD might have gotten corrupted. He said he would look at my 2T HD, and also my notebook and my home computer laptop, and advised me of the possible outcomes including no data recovery. He also advised to remove any viruses and malware in laptop and notebook. Carlos also recommended to purchase a new external hard drive to backup all files from the corrupted HD and files in both computers before he begins troubleshooting. Carlos quoted a flat fee for the data recovery (and the possibility of no data recoverable) and another flat fee for virus and malware removal. Summary: Carlos performed all the above functions he had recommended: backed up all files from corrupt HD and files from both my computers into the new Hard Drive; ran programs onto the corrupt HD to attempt data recovery; performed virus removal and tuned up both computers. In addition, Carlos installed several very useful programs for my computers at no additional cost. Carlos was very efficient and very professional. All the above work was performed within a week's time. Carlos was great to work with; very professional, very efficient, and his price is very reasonable. I would definitely use him again, and highly recommend Carlos to anyone having computer issues or needing computer support. Thank You Again Carlos for your expert service in my time of need. read more

I recently had the pleasure of visiting the friendly professionals at Valley Support. I must say, their exceptional service truly exceeded my expectations. From the moment I walked in, I knew I was in good hands. First and foremost, Carlos was incredibly knowledgeable and skilled.

I felt confident in his ability to resolve any issue that came his way. What impressed me the most was his transparency and honesty. Instead of trying to upsell unnecessary services or hardware, he genuinely cared about finding the most cost-effective solution for me. He patiently explained the problem and various options available, making me feel involved in the decision-making process. It was refreshing to receive such honest and trustworthy advice.

I appreciated his attention to detail, as he ensured that I understood what was being done to my computer every step of the way.

Their knowledgeable, genuine care, computer repairs or maintenance. Rest assured, they will go the extra mile to ensure your satisfaction. read more

I wish I could give Carlos TEN stars, as he certainly deserves them!!! I chose him because of his YELP reviews to begin with, so it's only fitting that I should add to them. My computer had crashed and despite what little I knew to try, it was evident this wasn't going to be an easy fix. I was running CS6 on High Sierra, and regardless of what lots of blogs may tell you, we were getting along just fine, until...my hard drive crashed. Carlos installed a new SSD, and then was able to recover most, if not all of my documents. However, without a backup, you don't get back your Apps like Creative Suite, Microsoft Office...ones I had paid for outright, which are now both Subscription only!!! I did still have the product keys, but once I got home and tried to reinstall those, nothing! I called Adobe and the first person I talked to basically told me I was out of luck ( maybe he was on commission for selling subscriptions???). Carlos said no, just bring it back and we'll get this done. I had bought CS5.5 initially, then upgraded to 6. He was able to get 5.5 installed, as well as the latest version of Office (pre-subscription!). I got it home, got a sweet girl with a very different attitude at Adobe...like sure, no big deal, and CS6 is back up and running. Carlos put in several extra hours and didn't charge me extra. And he just text'd to see if everything was working properly! Not a lot of businesses follow up like that anymore!!! I am SO GRATEFUL, and cannot recommend him and Valley Support highly enough!!!! read more

It's my pleasure to share how very pleasant my experience with Carlos at Valley Support has been. My four-year-old Lenovo laptop stopped working, so I spent hours reading reviews, before choosing Valley Support. It's a one-man operation in one room. The room is clean, quiet and peaceful and the man is wonderful - intelligent, animated and knowledgeable. Carlos has a gift for being able to explain things to people like myself, people who've been using computers for years, but don't really know how they work. My computer's ills were such he felt I should put the repair money into a new computer. I asked for suggestions and was so relieved when his first choice for me was the one I'd been mooning over for quite awhile. So I purchased it and Carlos got it all ready for me to take home. I highly recommend Carlos at Valley Support for anyone who has an ailing computer. My experience there was the best, least stressful one I've ever had when faced with a computer problem. Valley Support is housed in a small commercial complex, and they share an adopted pet cat, who is a real sweetheart. And Carlos has provided her a lovely, clean bed in his space. I wasn't surprised. He's a good guy. read more

Our older PC running XP (we have a couple of old bookkeeping programs that are not compatible with 7 running on our newer computer) kept cycling through start-ups. It would sometimes appear to run but the display was out of register or would go to a pattern, then crash. We called Carlos at Valley Support and, after a few questions, suggested a few culprits. We took the desktop in and he ran a few tests which seemed to verify his speculation. We left it in his care and by the next day he told us that in was what he suspected. Carlos also mentioned that we had a fair amount of malware and viruses that had gotten past Norton anti-virus we have installed. He said he could remove the viruses, clean things up and do some research to find some good anti-virus software that would be compatible with our older system. We authorized the repair and took him up on his suggestion. By the next business day he gave us a call to let us know our computer was ready to go. We have it back home and it appears to be running better than before and it was nice not to lose all the old data. Thanks! read more

My call to Valley Support came when the hard drive in my wife's laptop started to die, and I had no where else to turn. This was the best call I could have made. Carlos walked me through a few quick diagnostic steps and confirmed my suspicion. He came the next day to pick up the laptop and had it back to me ready to go within 3 days. I did call one other shop and they had told me they could take a look at it in about a week to see what it needed. Then, about 6 weeks later the camera on the laptop stopped working. It was a Sunday night, right before my wife had an important work Zoom session the next day. I called Valley Support to leave a message for the next day, but Carlos answered the phone. He was able to log-in to the computer, check the problem. research the issue (a bad software update) and fix it remotely. All on a Sunday night. I am not saying this immediate action will always be the case, but he is quick, professional, and very easy to work with. Valley Support is our first call for any computer issues. read more

I had a brand new PC laptop I had bought about a year ago. It was my first year in college, and I only had about a semester with the laptop before it stopped turning on, or never loaded fully to turn on. I could barely afford the laptop, so I couldn't purchase the warranty. So I had a broken laptop all year. Once I was able to afford to fix my laptop, I did some research on laptop repair places. Valley Support had the overall best ratings, so they were the first place I tried. Carlos was awesome! He found the problem right away, and gave me a quote on the spot with a few different options. He broke down what everything was and what were the outcomes. I knew my laptop would be in great hands, even better he said it would be ready the same day!!! I left, not even 2 hours later it was ready to pick up!!! Great price for everything I got! Beyond satisfied!!! read more

Okay so I went in a few days ago and I am not disappointed! Carlos was very helpful and very professional! And his dog is awesome! Brought in my laptop because my screen was cracked but everything else was still functioning. Turns out I had a virus on my computer as well that I had NO IDEA about. He removed that for me and installed cool programs as well. He has very fair pricing. If I would've taken it somewhere else they would've over charged me. All together it was 170. The screen was 80 and for him to fix it was 50. To have the virus removed it was another 40 dollars but it was money well spent! This guy definitely knows what he's doing and honestly cares about the network you're using and wants to make sure your computer is protected. I definitely recommend him you won't be disappointed. Thanks again Carlos. read more

I called Valley Support because I had a laptop that had water damage. I was able to take in the laptop the same day and was given a free diagnosis. Two days later, I received a video update with possible parts that may have to be replaced and suggestions on how to proceed. He ordered the 1st part and installed it, turns out that part wasn't the issue. He assured me that this part could be returned and I would only be charged for the part that was needed. He proceeded to purchase another part and was able to return the 1st part without any extra charge. Carlos even included the installation of virus protection software, in total my laptop was fixed and secured for $375. I would definitely recommend bringing your electronic device to Carlos, he is an honest person who is interested in helping people. read more

I built my computer myself about 3 years ago and finally had the idea to upgrade it just a bit -- a simple RAM upgrade from 16gb to 32gb. Get it all in and -- nothing. No signal sent to the monitor. Took it here and the service was prompt and communicative, the owner Carlos even gave me some tips and returned to me my working computer, though still unfinished. Fast forward a week later when my other two 8gb sticks came in, I followed his advice and-! Nothing still. Yet again. Turns out I didn't push them in all the way, and after some laughs shared he said no charge though I slipped him a $20. The previous PC store I was going to was nowhere near as friendly and communicative about the progress on my PC. Carlos has my future business and he should have yours too. read more

Carlos did a great job with my computer repair. I had 2 computers that were in need of repair; my old laptop was completely disassembled and non-functional, and he offered several options on how to proceed with the repair and well as data recovery if necessary. He was also honest about warranty information for my newer computer, and he gave me good advice about what to do next. He was very friendly and flexible with drop off/pick up times due to my work schedule, and he completed the repair very quickly! Another detail that I appreciated, was that he kept in contact with me about his progress so that I had a general idea of when it would be finished, as well as sending video of the repair process. Overall, his service was awesome and I would highly recommend him! read more

I could not reccomend any repair store more highly. Just as a recent Chromebook/Samsung hack had me feeling like DiCaprio in Shutter Island or someone in the laziest written episode of Black Mirror ever- Carlos confirmed that both of my devices had indeed been hacked with malware and possibly even screen hacking apps (several chrome extensions were found). Although he doesn't typically work on phones, Carlos was still able to wipe my Samsung clean of persistent malware while preserving all of my data for (a more than fair) $50. Nothing sucks more than having to say your phone's bugged out loud, attempting to not to sound like a total basket case. Thanks Carlos for the stellar work! And for keeping the padded room at bay... read more

I had a great experience with Valley Support. When I called, the owner answered the phone personally. He took the time to explain his workflow clearly and asked if I had any questions before we moved forward. That alone stood out. When I dropped off my PC, his workstation was clean, organized, and professional. He was courteous the entire time and regularly checked in to make sure I didn't have any concerns. He fixed my computer quickly and charged a very fair price. It's refreshing to work with someone who runs their business with clarity, professionalism, and integrity. I wouldn't hesitate to use Valley Support again. read more
