Computer Doctor — Local services in Davis

My experience with the Jamie, The Davis Computer Doctor, over many years, has been simply beyond description, with --

Countless rescues, some I thought unlikely or doubtful,

Charges always considerably below others' rates, and

Great advice, often free, saving me money time and again.

In the most recent case, well over a year ago and still ongoing, I have saved hundreds of dollars by taking Jamie's advice on a difficult (for me) decision which involved switching from one operating system to another. His advice proved right, but the dollars I have saved have come right out of Jamie's own pocket -- and he knew they would if I followed his advice. I had been paying Jamie over a long period of time for removal of viruses contracted by my computers due to my persistence in opening email solicitations from unknown sources. My visits to Jamie were "high anxiety" time -- excepting for his charges.

One day Jamie began telling me that those expenditures could be avoided if I would simply switch to a different brand of computer, one whose operating system was extremely hacker-unfriendly and known for the paltry rewards it allowed hackers in return for their efforts. Jamie cautioned me that hackers around the world were beginning to ramp up their attempts to break through this brand's defenses and that this safe-haven might not last forever. So, despite having to learn a new computer operating system, I went ahead with his suggestion, hopeful for some relief from the "virus" torture even for a limited time.

Fast forward to today. The computer he recommended has been remarkably free of viruses and problems since I took Jamie's advice. Today, I can truthfully say from long personal experience that Jamie the Computer Doctor is an expert in a class all by himself, with integrity to match his awesome expertise. (dcm -...

I called to ask if my laptop could be fixed. I had accidentally spilled coffee on it and turned it off immediately. An hour later, after all of the water had been pushed out by a compressed- gas duster, I turned it back on. Everything was working fine but 6 keys were sticky. I wanted to know if they were able to clean these keys underneath the key board. When I told the man on the phone that I had a ASUS Chromebook, he laughed, said they do not work on computers that have so little value, and told me that no computer repair shop would help me. When I replied with my laptop cost me over $500 dollars he responded with, it is what elementary schools provide for students, the only way to break them is to pour liquid on them which you apparently did. You are better off getting another computer that is capable of doing more then checking your email. He also told me to just keep it off for a few days and hope for the best. The man was extremely rude and assumed that because I had a Chromebook it was worth no more than $150. I have a feeling he treated me this was because I am a female college...

My dad's computer (Windows 10) had a boot failure and he needed to get it fixed or have his data recovered so he could do his taxes (I am out of state and couldn't fix it). I found Computer Doctor online and they had some good reviews so I gave them a call. I was quoted the prices for the various repair scenarios and they were good prices. I then saw on their website that they did in home repairs which was perfect as my dad would have problems taking apart and hooking his computer back up. I called on Friday and he said he had a open appointment the following day. It wasn't an easy repair but Jamie was able to recover all of the data, re-image the OS, and reinstall all of the data during the in house appointment. While he was recovering my dad's computer he gave me the detailed information over the phone of what he was doing and what issues he found. He also took the time to set up some apps and my dad had a fully functional computer and has already started his taxes. I would give more than 5 stars and definitely recommend this place for...
