Benjamin is a small business owner that provides big customer service. He helped me in recovering data from a corrupted hard drive. He made sure I understood his processes and exactly what work he was going to perform. Benjamin provided status updates and didn t perform any work that wasn t authorized by me. And he charged what he said he would. Excellent job!

I had a Great Experience! Ben is so professional, kind & honest. He explained the different scenarios that could happen along with pricing, he also said if the repair was more than $250.000 he would not recommend the repair, rather use the money towards a new laptop. Ben, was able to repair the problems. Hopefully I won't have to repair my laptop again, but if I do I would not hesitate to call Ben. Highly Recommend!

The technician was forthright and honest. Even though they did have have the bandwidth to accommodate my personal requirements they offered a reliable referral. Professional and should I have an opportunity to use them I will absolutely give them the first call!

Ben is a really great guy! He's very knowledgeable and super friendly. It's took him less than a day to recover the data. I didn't expect my computer to be fixable, but he DID within a couple days and it looks like a brand new one.

You were not only buying a service for your pc there, you gain the friendship. Benjamin is a very kind and positive man with proficency, he jokes around but responsible for his work. If you were near the neighbourhood, I highly recommend you go there, get your stuff fixed. You can also ask Benjamin for some further suggestions about your device. His service is 30 day worry free guarantee, so try it out as I did. He is a hard working man who makes you feel comfortable all the time!

I had a computer network adapter issue. I tried 2 other shops before this one and both did not solve my problem. They also didn't find out what the problem was. Benjamin from the Alhambra computer services was really nice and helpful. He gave me updates on my computer every day and looked deep into it for 3 days. He found similar cases like this online with my model of computer. Turns out that this model of dell was one of the defective ones so my problem could not get fixed due to dell's system restrictions and not letting me update my adapter. Benjamin did not charge me a single dollar at the end, not even the diagnostic fees. Nicest computer guy ever, I will recommend him to everyone.

Fantastic work! Technician is communicative regarding price and issues with the devices. I consider this to be my primary place to go to for computer repair and data back up/retrieval. Kind and honest customer service.

Data recovery is a service you wish you never need. I tried multiple recoveries option for my hard drive and I thought I was out of luck. I figured I would give Alhambra Computer Services a shot since it is a "no data, no charge" policy. Ben was very professional, knowledgeable, and was actually able to recover 100% of my data within a day. Definitely recommend to anyone needing his service.

Benjamin is responsive and reliable. He answered an important question for me that required some data gathering and research on his part. He got back to me quickly and essentially resolved my issue over the phone without charge. I will continue to use him for both Mac and PC issues in the future.

Super quick and helpful service! My ASUS laptop was stuck in a reboot cycle after a Windows update and I was unable to get to the sign-in screen. Benjamin was able to fix my laptop quickly and gave me informative updates along the way. He also gave many recommendations for the future, which I appreciated. The total came out to be $99 ($69 for the diagnostic and $30 for the service), and after the $10 Yelp discount, it came out to $89, which is amazing for such amazing service! Definitely recommend!

Ben has been our go-to computer repair guy for several years now; He Always responds quickly Does his diagnostic reviews quickly Gives you a clear plan on what needs to be done and has always provided very close estimates on costs. Any changes are always discussed with you before action is taken. Additionally, Ben has also been great at upgrading some of our old laptops so they can be used for our friends who needed one.

I could not have asked for a better professional to fix my laptop. From start to finish, Ben was extremely friendly and accommodating. I'm a grad student with not a lot of funds but I needed my laptop as soon as possible because we've switched to online learning so I couldn't afford the priority fee. Ben was extremely understanding of my circumstances and came back with a diagnosis result by the end of the night.

He also finished fixing my laptop within the next day and kept me updated at every step. His prices are more than fair and I was more than happy with his services. His personality makes him a delight to talk to! I would recommend him to any and all of my friends and family if they ever have computer issues.

Really great, honest, and efficient service! Ben replied promptly and answered all my questions before dropping off a gaming laptop to be repaired in secret for my partner : He was able to diagnose all the issues and offered multiple solutions. It was nice to get text updates about everything throughout the entire process. Ben was a pleasure to work with and I'll be sure to hit him up again for future repairs!

Ben was great! He couldn't actually fix my laptop in person with the precautions he is taking ( which was 100% understandable), however, he was so helpful to recommend other trusted repair shops. He was very responsive and even followed up with me to see how my repair went or how esle he could help. I thought that was just great, and I will be keeping his shop in mind if I ever need furture repairs! Thanks Ben so much!

Another 5-star review. My dog (literally) ate my keyboard and destroyed several keys on my Lenovo laptop. I weighed the decision between buying a new laptop or having someone replace the keyboard; I'm so happy I took the latter path, which saved me a couple grand. Benjamin was a swift, efficient communicator and got the job done quickly and when he promised. Hard to complain with that level of service! Highly recommended for those considering a computer repair : )

My son's computer specially his hard drive got attacked by a virus and he could not retrieve his data even in safe mode. I called this company and the owner was very frank and said that he was swamped and he could not take on the job: he nevertheless set us up with an USB drive so we could try to start the machine externally. It did not work but the 5 stars are for the honesty and courtesy of this store!

Excellent service. I was in a panic because my HP laptop hinge snapped. The next day, I was unable to open my computer. I remembered that I took my previous laptop to Alhambra Computer Services a couple years ago, and was very satisfied with the prompt and efficient repair. So I put in a request via Yelp, and was pleased that Benjamin replied immediately, and it was the weekend.

Although he was wasn't able to give me a quote for the repair without seeing my laptop, he was very helpful in his communication. I was also able to schedule an appointment via Yelp, for the next day. Upon inspecting my laptop, Benjamin was honest, and said that it would not be worth getting it fixed. He clearly explained what had happened, and the difficulty of getting parts for HP computers, etc.

But the great news is that he was able to open up my laptop without creating any damage, and I am able to use it until I get a new one! This was such a relief. I would highly recommend Benjamin, as he is extremely knowledgeable, honest, and has excellent communication skills. Also very responsive and his system for setting up an appointment is very efficient and smooth. Overall, a great experience during a stressful time of having your computer go out on you.

Place was recommended by a friend I was very happy about the service and how fast my MacBook Pro was back in my hands and faster than it was before. MacBook was more than 5yrs old and stopped starting up again few years back, I needed an extra working computer for home use and Ben brought my laptop back to life at an affordable price. Ben was Friendly, very knowledgeable gave me feedback by text along the way and about options with getting this one fixed vs buying new one.

This one works just as new, I'm fully satisfied. His # is saved in my contacts for sure. Set up an appointment with no waiting. Great place near freeway with plenty easy parking. I'll be telling my friends about this place for sure.

If I could give this business six stars I would. I went here looking to recover some data from an external hard drive with my photos, documents from work/school, etc that stopped working. Within 24 hours Ben said that there was good news and that the data was all there. It was only a power issue so he didn't have to actually do any data recovery. He was completely honest!

He could've said here's your data that I recovered and collected the money! Additionally, Ben is very knowledgeable, accommodating, and has fair prices to begin with as I have gone to him for another service. Highly recommended.

Great experience dealing with Ben. Went in for a diagnostic to check why my PC wasn't working. Issue was that the power supply was dead but luckily it was still under warranty. After installing the replaced unit, it still wasn't working. So I messaged Ben and he went above and beyond what he had to do even after I had already paid the diagnostic fee to check on my computer afterwards. Thanks again Ben!

Ben is a very informative and honest worker. He kindly opened our Mac and checked for damage. He let us know possible situations and the cost of each situation and part. He didn't charge us for the a brief examination and had a clean set up. I would definitely recommend him because he is honest, professional and did not appear to be greedy. Great service!

In the world of technology, it is sometimes very difficult to find someone who is reliable, trusting, and willing to put in the effort to find problems and errors. Benjamin, the owner, however, provided great customer service, was communicative throughout the entire process, and willing to put in the effort to find out what was wrong with my computer.

He walked me through step by step, explained everything he was doing thoroughly, and far exceeded my expectations. He would communicate when parts would come in and provided reasonable updates regarding an expected pickup time and date. I highly recommend anyone wanting to fix there computer! 10/5 stars! Probably the best part was, his prices were extremely reasonable! With that said! Leave a great tip and help these smaller businesses thrive!

I visited here because I couldn't turn on my laptop for some unknown reasons. It was working yesterday and suddenly it is not being charged, and then power is off. I made an appointment in the early morning because this was urgent. I also asked if he can check noise issue on my laptop. Benjamin explained the process and details nicely, and told me to wait for his reply by late night. Sounds really fast.

In the afternoon, he already came back to me and said he found the issue on the connector. He fixed it, and also he found a cable placed improperly around the fan and sent me pictures for me to understand what was going on. Everything was clearly done within half day and I only need to wait for the part replacement now. That was the quickest service I have ever experienced here :

Since my laptop screen was damaged, I was searching around for a place that would repair my screen for a reasonable price. The OEM gave me some ridiculous price that was almost as expensive as the price I paid for the laptop itself, and another company offered to repair it for a rather hefty price while also shipping my laptop to another facility outside of the state, so I was not going to go with those options.

This is where I found ACS. After talking to Benjamin about the initial costs for things like the cost of repair/labor and parts, he gave me a rather reasonable price (plus, because he fixes things at his place, it's a convenient location should I need to grab my laptop for anything). Shipping took just about as long as he projected, and he was able to repair the screen in the same day he received the part.

Throughout the entire process, he kept me up to date (promptly) with things like shipping information, how much the total cost was, and any other question I had. Highly recommend bringing your computer needs to him!

Overview: Ben is not only a very professional and kind computer repairer, but a great friend you can count on. I had an issue with my mid-2012 MacBook pro and he ended up fixing it within a respectable amount of time. I really liked that he gave me specifics of what he did to track the source of the problem just in case it comes again and I need it to be fixed. Ben is a hidden gem when it comes to fixing computers and has no gimmicks to make you pay more than what you really need.

He's been at this place for 15 years and been fixing computers for 20 (?, Something like that) years, you can count on him. My final note on Ben is that he is very passionate and very one-on-one with his customers.

Alhambra's Computer Services is professional and their execution of repairs is excellent, I am extremely satisfied with their services. I recently encountered a serious error with my laptop's hard drive to the point where it was not operational and now it's running like new! I really appreciated Ben's help from beginning to end. I get anxious making inquiries but Ben is really friendly and more than happy to answer any questions you may have; I did not feel discouraged to text or call him during the repair process at all.

His response time is also impressively quick, he's transparent with what repairs need to be done, and is clear with his costs of services which are very fair prices. Overall, I highly recommend Alhambra Computer Services! I've never written a review for a business before but this place did such an amazing job that I wanted to show my appreciation by writing one.

I'll definitely support this professional small business over a big company any day without hesitation. If I happen to have any concerns or questions in the future regarding my computer, I know this is the place to go! :

Ben's expertise never ceases to amaze me. I went to him again a couple of years after he resolved my computer issue. This time it was Microsoft's faulty updates that caused my computer to freeze when it tried to start up. Ben fixed it in a couple of days. My computer is running like a brand new computer again! He did a wonderful job once again! During the entire process, he communicated with me and kept me posted with the progress of my computer.

When I was picking up my computer, he gave me a clear explanation of what he did during the process. This is how I can tell that he is a very meticulous professional who will thoroughly examine and fix your computer and not skimp on anything. He really genuinely cares about his customers. Ben is someone that I deeply trust and just like a lot of people, I am his lifelong customer.

5 star service, professionalism, knowledge, customer service, all around savior! My computer was hacked, locked and a big mess. Ben unlocked it, cleaned it up and got it back to better than before! I had a couple of minor glitches I only noticed after operating it after the repair and Ben so kindly, so graciously, so service oriented, remotely helped me to reset a couple Windows things - he is excellent. And, he did it on a moments notice, as soon as I contacted him he took care of it.

I'm really, really pleased with his work, his patience, professionalism and the price was fair, Very reasonable price for the work that was done, which included the later tune up after hours, thank you Ben! Great job, life saver, definitely HIGHLY recommend and will definitely use him again if ever needed.

I was in the area and needed computer repair services for my laptop for an overheating issue. I've repaired and replaced components in my own computers, built PCs, but just didn't have the parts available for the job. I knew this would be a reasonable challenge for a computer repair tech.

Ben was professional and courteous and explained what he would do in a straightforward manner. Service was done by the time expected and the fee was reasonable.

Our laptop got infected with a virus on a Saturday night, we could no longer log onto the internet. So we left the computer until Sunday morning. Sunday morning we stumbled across Alhambra Computer Services on yelp. We called about 8:30am, Ben answered, we told him the issue and he said bring it in. We took it to him at 10:00am Sunday morning and our laptop was ready Sunday evening.

The whole day he kept my husband informed of what was going on. We got it back and it's working like brand new. He's definitely our go-to guy! If you want fast great customer service, call Ben he's amazing. It's nice to have someone you can trust.
