I really challenged the guys. My dear friend Ursula, dumped her PC 4 years ago at my urging, and bought an iMac. On her external backup drive were hundreds of photos taken over a decade ago with proprietary Olympus software. Moving them from the old backup to her iMac with their folder structure intact was confounding. Apple Care and the Apple store were not able to make it happen, so it ended up on Del's desk at this place. Moving the photos was doable, but keeping the folder structure was a problem: a big problem. Del was dogged, and with the help of Adobe Photoshop, he crushed it. These guys are more than competent, they're patient, polite and generous with their advice. I overheard them listening to prospective clients and proposing the least expensive solution, including how to do it yourself.

Expertise and honest. Tony fixed a problem with my older MacBook Pro motherboard and replaced the battery. He was even nice enough to drop the computer charger off at my house that he forgot to give me when I picked up my computer.

Very knowledgeable and helpful. The proprietor went the extra mile and recommended other places of business that could provide the service I needed.

Absolutely the best computer shop I have ever been in. I was looking for thermal paste (unfortunately they don't sell it) to see if I could fix an issue I was having with thermal control on my self built computer. After a short chatting with one of the staff, they helped me think of a few things I had overlooked. To give prospective, I have been building computers for myself for a long time (+15 years) but we all forget a thing or two as time goes on. I tested out the few solutions we had come up with, and it fixed my problem. Absolutely the best.

Tony wasn't able to help me w/ my issue but I don't hold that against him. I'd reached out to more than a dozen repair shops in my area &, of the couple that were willing to help, YY Computer had the fastest turnaround & best pricing. It turns out using an SD card for "internal storage" w/ Android encrypts it so only your device can access it. The person @ the MetroPCS store thought pulling the card prior to factory reset would be no problem. It was a problem. My phone was unable to recognize the data I'd backed up & now I have no choice but to format the card & lose my backup. Tony billed me $25 for the initial diagnostic but simply returned the SD card to me a couple of days later, free of charge, because no data was able to be recovered after multiple scans.

Saved my PC! Tony is a genius problem solver. I did a custom PC build in April and was experiencing crashes whenever I ran a specific 3D software. I had taken my computer to 3 other repair people who all told me I needed to replace parts and when I did that and it still was crashing, I was frustrated and stumped. Thankfully my girlfriend, (feeling sorry for my months of crashes) looked online and found YY Computers. Tony treated the computer as if it were his own and was able to create the right circumstances to identify the mysterious crash. He swapped out parts and confirmed what I needed. I ordered a new motherboard and he installed it and setup Windows for me. I'm so grateful. My PC has been working smooth since. I highly recommend this shop .Communication is great and turnaround was quick once the problem was found. So grateful!

They took care to fix my computer at a good price point while describing and explaining all the issues I had, while keeping me updated on every adjustment they made. Can’t recommend enough

I have worked with YY previously while moonlighting for Easy Mac Support, a tech support service in the East Bay. I brought my laptop to them to have the display sorted out because they were available before my appointment with ComputerLand of Berekely who is an Authorized Apple Repair facility and was set up for me by Apple. When I arrived the shop owner took a look at it and then alerted me to a recall issued by Apple for this exact thing. He recommended I save my appiontment with ComputerLand as they would be able to fix it completely free. This didn't turn out to be the case (because ComputerLand refused to honor the recall) however, after an over-the-phone diagnosis with Apple (for a second time) I shipped the laptop out and it was indeed a recall issue for which I had to pay nothing. Thanks YY for not taking my money unneccesrily!
