Computer Business Center — Local services in Santa Monica

I took my gaming pc to get fixed after getting multiple BSOD. After leaving it here we are Stil unsure what is wrong with it. He said it could be a CPU issue or a motherboard issue. He then proceeded to recommend to buy a motherboard from Amazon to test out. Which I did. He took and tested it, Still nothing worked and he stated it could be the CPU issue, to which he then said buy a CPU and we can try that. On top of that it is very disorganized he speaks to you in a very condescending way almost as if he's doing you favor. I always had to call to find out when my pc was ready. Rather than him letting me know and giving me and ETA, I was pretty much in the dark with my updates unless I was proactive and asking him. Hisplace may be good for data recovery as I see hard drives all over the place but for new gaming pcs from my experience was no help. $250 for no resolution. If I knew this would have been the outcome I would have just went somewhere else, I've been to other computer repair centers where they only charge if they can fix it. I truly feel I have been ripped off, and he just took advantage of someone who needed help with a new computer. Hopefully the next person has a better experience with this establishment.

Update: I was able to fix the computer myself. I decided I would just try rebooting on windows 10 vs windows 11. Voila! Even more frustrating that I spent $250 and he didn't even offer this as an option. I searched this up on google and found some people with a similar issue and they recommended...

I don't like to write bad reviews, but this was the worse experience I ever had. The gentleman that "fixed" my laptop said he has no unhappy customers, but that's the first lie he will tell you. Originally my laptop screen's right posterior and anterior parts were separating, so I needed them to be sealed, he claimed he will be able to get fixed by the weekend. What really happened is I had to call him twice a week to remind him about my laptop and it took him about month, to do a D- job, he ended up just puting visible nails through the opening parts, and placed visible black duct tape from top to bottom and left and right to hold it together, I could of done this myself. originally I wasn't going to write a review because he claimed he lost money by giving me discount of charging me 100 instead of 125, but when I tried to video chat with my friends on facebook not only my microphone didn't work, but my camera wouldn't work either! In conclusion if you want to get someone that doesn't care about your product and brings your more issues than you had in the first place, than this place is perfect for you, otherwise your better of...

My experience with Computer Business Center was very upsetting. I brought my son’s laptop for repair. Dell’s cover was broken. My son was devastated. We recently moved from our house. It was a huge hurtful transition. Understandably, playing or watching something on his computer helped my son to deal with it. That’s why when Jacob offered two options: to glue a cover for $150 or replace it for $300, I went with the second one. Jacob called me few days later saying that computer is ready and that a cover is replaced. I happily paid $300 knowing how happy will be my son to have his computer back. Few weeks later, though, we found out that a cover was not replaced, it was glued very sloppily and the glue almost destroyed a screen... I don’t understand how people like Jacob can lie so shamelessly. Maybe because I told him that I am a single mother, or because I said that we are not in position to buy a new computer. Or he just does it to any one. Nevertheless, I would not trust him with any of your electronics...
