Services
We began doing computer repair at a shop on Laurel Street in 1999. Computer Zone knows that our Santa Cruz customers are our priority. Computer systems have changed over the last 20 years, but our attention to our customers has never changed! Our technicians are qualified experts in a variety of Mac and Windows systems as well as iPhone repair and Android repair.
We carry a wide assortment of Laptops, Desktops, printers, ethernet cables, networking equiptment, wireless routers, video cards, motherboards, processors, keyboards, computer mice, monitors, cases and power supplies, accessories, and much more so you don't have to go outside of Santa Cruz for that need-to-have item.
If your computer is slow, freezes or re-directs your search then it might be infected with Viruses or Spyware. Through normal use your computer builds up with PUP's, viruses and spyware which will slow your device down. Don't wait for your PC to stop working, have it checked and cleaned at the first sign of any trouble.
Your data can be lost in many ways. Accidental deletion, emptying the recycle bin, file corruption, system failure, hard disk failure, scratched CDs. We can recover most information even if you have reformatted your hard drive. Even if your computer has suffered catastrophic damage, odds are your data is still recoverable.
We are thoroughly versed in repairing any problems you may be experiencing. Call us to set up a service call and we will troubleshoot your network with an on-site service call. IT is in the middle of transformation. This is driven by the desire to increase productivity, improve efficiency, and meet the rising demands of business.

GREAT experience. Had an iPad that got disabled. They explained what they would do, how much they would charge and that it would probably take 2-3 days. BUT less than 24 hours it was fixed, is back in our house and working just fine... and all for less than $100 which they told me upfront. Truly appreciate. Many folks came and went while we were there and they were extremely nice, informative and helpful. Thanks

Needed a new screen for my iPhone, chose the tempered glass. After I got back home I noticed there was a bubble along the right edge & along the top. They were kind enough to redo it when I brought it back in.
Dealt with a couple different employees; they were both knowledgeable and friendly. This is a tiny easy-to-miss shop but they do excellent work at a reasonable price.

My MacBook Pro crashed last week, and the next morning I called Computer Zone when they opened. They told me to bring it in right away, quickly identified the problem, explained to me what was going on, and patiently talked through the various repair options and costs with me. The repairs were completed quickly, and my computer is working great… again. I appreciated the tech guys from Computer Zone taking the time to teach me a little bit about how my computer works, and I really appreciate their high quality work. I highly recommend Computer Zone!

UPDATE: my screen now turns blue randomly... about a month after getting my screen "repaired."my screen is still very insensitive, lots of VERY hard pressing to type (it sucks so much). Again please don't go here, I beg you. just go to a verified repair shop and spend the extra $10 or so on getting your phone actually fixed, I suggest mobile kangaroo!

Price gouging at its finest, too bad too as I'd always rather support local businesses. I was charged full price today ($90) for a USB C laptop power supply that was used. Had to buy it as no one else in town had one and I could t wait for it to be shipped. You guys lost my business and I will not recommend anyone go here either.
If you're selling used gear, you shouldn't charge full retail price, pretty simple. If I could give zero stars I would

I kept trying this place, and I feel disappointed each time. I had one experience with the owner who was very rude, though all the employees were kind, and gave me a discount later. The $50 screen fix they advertised does not include parts--aka false advertising for a $100 screen repair. Now a few months after the repair, my screen isn't working. Go to other places in the neighborhood and save your time/money!

First, the person working was so rude. Then, I was charged a service fee for them to look at my phone - which is fine. Then they charged an additional fee and told me they could do nothing.
So they charged me extra money, provided no service and told me to come back and try again on Monday, where they would charge me to do the same thing they just did! I wouldn't tell my worst enemy to go to this place. This is absolutely the worst service of any place I have been in Santa Cruz. I could not be more disappointed.

Never go here for an screen replacement! They sell you a cheap piece of crap screen that breaks ~40days after so you aren't covered by the warranty. Woke up today and backlight doesn't work anymore, thin lines of dead pixels starting to creep across screen, and a weird green tint to the screen.
I repeat NEVER GO HERE for an iPhone screen replacement.

6/27/17 - Update
RadMax 380W PSU that Computer Zone installed in July 2014 finally died 6/26/17.
The technician at the new shop (see my excellent review for the new place) discovered that the vibration noise that the RadMax PSU was making shortly after it was installed by Computer Zone, was due to the fact that the power supply harness was missing. The PSU was being held in with three screws, making it unstable and causing it to vibrate against the metal side panel at power on. The rest of the screws were missing, as was the plate covering the PSU on the outside. I wonder what else they stole

I have worked in the customer service industry for over 20 years. This business is surprisingly still in business. I paid 80 bucks to remove the data from my laptop. When I did not hear from them after five days I called to be told that I need to bring in a flash drive in order to get the data. I was told that the cost of 80 bucks was to get my data off the computer but not on a disc or usb. Which is not what was said when I brought the computer in. Horrible service not being forthcoming and explaining what your are getting with their services. The guy on the phone told me that the ball is in
