Front desk person was super nice. But that was about it. Whoever is doing the actual diagnosis was simply not competent enough to recognize the real issue of my laptop, which was just a loose cable. Wanted to charge 170(on top of the flat rate of 69 plus 30 dollars for priority) for a whole replacement of pretty much everything. So I took my laptop to another repair shop instead(don't wanna say the name but it's only like a block away) and they fixed it in less than 4 hours and only charged 120 bucks. So I basically wasted 2 days and 40 dollars here when I could've walked an extra

Ok good job. Sam did great work for me, took a broken laptop/dead hard drive and asked him to retrieve the data and see if it can be fixed. He got my data and fixed the laptop too, also made it slightly better by fixing the fan that was heating up too much since my laptop is old over 6 years plus. So far so good, also didn't ask me for more money, only charged me flat $69, I told him I am student so he helped. Thanks

Sam at American tech came to my house in San Francisco to perform a complete set up of my new computer with anti virus application and printer. Everything was completed with expert knowledge and professionalism. Sam also conducts remote computer maintenance and care. I have been using American Tech for over 5 years and Sam always provides professional expert service for a fair price. I highly recommend American Tech for all your computer needs.

Sam was great: answered every questioned I asked with honesty, respected my need to take another day to consider pricing and ordering, gave expert advice irregardless of how much/little money it would add to my bill, cleaned my computer when doing the repairs, and was a real person. Yes, do they not aaaalways open right at 11am and do I always call before headed over to make sure staff are on hand, yes. But it takes me 30sec to do that. Finding a business established on customer needs and acknowledgement would take me much longer & cost way more these days. Their flat repair rate is hard to

Sam is the best! Before walking into American Tech I was ready to get rid of my laptop that wouldn't even turn on. A few people already tried to repair it unsuccessfully, but since it was an expensive laptop, I wanted to see one more time if anything can be done. Initially, Sam told me that its most likely a goner, since the motherboard will have to be replaced. However, he didn't give up and proceeded to give my laptop a more detailed look. He ended up fixing a few connectivity and cooling issues. A week and a half service later my laptop is turning on and its the fastest it can be

Awesome business! That is the least to say regarding my experience. I had an unexpected glitch come up via the Microsoft boys and my operating system. I called the local computer repair shops and it looked like an open ended situation and more technology funds down the drain. American Tech offered me their flat fee service which seemed more than fair and in my case, more than fair it was.. They had awesome follow up and in the end I recommended that they should raise their $69 fee a bit but I understand that it is working out for all or most parties at this point. Thanks to Sean and American Tech

Incompetent technician. I went there to clean up my fans to solve my overheating problem. When I got my laptop back, the case was improperly closed, and the fan remained the same (covered by dust). I asked him about the dust, and he told me that it was just the fan. (He also told me that the pc is hard to open.) I ended up using a screw to reopen and close the case for it to fit, and use a knife to get some of the dust out. Couple weeks later I went to another repair shop, and they told me they saw no sign that it was cleaned just weeks before.
My guess is, this guy tried to open my laptop, failed

BE CAREFUL going here! After having my PC in the store for 2 days getting a tune up, I asked for a quote to do some upgrades. The nice young guy helping me said that the owner had to do the quote. After 2 days quote was not done so I went into the store. The owner was there and when I spoke to him he did not even know my PC was even in his store. The other guy was working on my PC right in front of him while we were talking. Kind of scary trying to trust the owner if he does not know what PC's are even in the shop. What would happen if the other guy got sick for a few days? If that happens

This place saved my life! My laptop died inexplicably (wouldn't power on) the day before I was going to take a trip out of town and I had homework/files that I needed to turn in. I was incredibly stressed out b/c the computer wasn't even that old (3 years ish) and I really didn't want to buy a new one.
I went to ComputerLand first and the lady quoted me $45 for a diagnostic with a 3-5 business day turnaround, or $95 for a 1-2 business day turnaround, NOT including any labor/cost to repair. I thought it was outrageous, plus the express option wouldn't help at all since I was

Delighted, satisfied customer here. My son and husband decided to build a computer, they bought all the parts and a case, monitor, etc. Problem was, neither one of them had the first clue as to how to build a computer and proceeded to bumble and fumble around around running into various glitches. After many frustrated hours and a bunch of "screw this!" they still could not get a signal from the monitor (worse still they bought it at Best Buy which seems to only sell products that will fall apart or break after approximately seven days). So they didn't even know if the monitor was

After my Mac crashed I brought it to Apple with the hopes that they would be able to extract files off of my hard drive that I needed urgently for work. They were unable to do that and referred me to a specialist in Novato who were ready to charge me between $700 and $2000 for the file extraction... Thank god I decided to call these guys instead and they got the job done for $70 overnight! I'm back to coding and my wallet is not bleeding. :)

I wrote a review for these guys after getting my computer fixed. However, when I took it home I found that the repair man had broken one of the keys on my keyboard. With further observation to the keyboard I could see small chips in the keyboard where it looked like someone had stuck a screwdriver down where the keys are. I will never use these guys again. they didn't even have the decency to at least mention the damage.

Right before leaving for Christmas holidays my notebook crashed and I brought it for the repair to American Tech.
It took 1,5 days to get my notebook repaired. Service was provided in a timely and effective manner. Neccesary explanations as to what the problem was and what has been done were received. I got my notebook back fixed and properly working. I'm glad to have used their services.

NEVER again will I take my chances on a Craigslist find for these kinds of services.
I found this place on a Craigslist ad for Computer services. Sounded like a decent deal and honest offer. I took my Macbook Pro with my own diagnosis in hand (I work in IT and know my way around a mac fairly) hoping this guy would maybe know more than I do and have some solution that I was not aware of. But it didn't turn out that way.
His diagnosis: Bad partition (which I was aware of already)
Solution: to erase and reformat the HD for $69 (without saving data)
Price with data extraction was

I did not have any upgrades so I can not speak to that. I usually go to a place in Menlo park that I like but my guy was very busy and it would have taken me a week to get my pc back so I decided to come here even though it was far. Scottie was very nice and knowledgeable, he admitted that he didn't know certain things. I paid 30 dollars extra to have my computer seen that day. Ended up being 100 dollars to get the virus off and they had it done by 6 so I was happy!

"Flat Rate $69 In-store computer repair sevices" ??? Not quite. Brought my computer in for a cracked screen and when the guy hands me my initial contract, the charge is $99. "What about $69?" -- Oh, that's just the flat rate for all repairs; any hardware issue has an add-on charge".
I had already purchased a replacement screen and only wanted to put so much additional money into this little netbook. And didn't I see "no repair - no charge" somewhere? Not quite. Once you ask them to look at it you have to pay that flat rate, whether or not the cost of

I was excited when I took my computer in to be repaired as they had one of the best rates available. Other places wanted to charge double the rate. This shouldve been my first clue that the service would be shotty. I brought my computer in, they repaired it and talked me into paying for an extra *heat coating* to keep my computer from overheating. The issue I was having was the power connection on my dell laptop, of which these laptops are notorious for having this problem. In any case...the computer seemed to work when I got it home, but I noticed if I even just lightly moved the computer the
