Computronics

These guys are crooks and scammers. Watch out for all these reviews that were written by the associates. This guy gave me a quote, and then he said to wait for few weeks. Later called my home and cursed me and said so many F words just because I said I do not want to have it repaired anymore. BE CAREFUL AND NEVER DEAL WITH THESE CROOKS !! REPORTED TO B B B. THESE MIDDLE EASTERN CROOKS SHOULD BE OUT OF BUSINESS. Cons: AVOID AVOID AVOID SCAMMERS more

My company relies on 5 major computers, each of which do specified tasks unique to the structure/drivers/programs. So when any of them crash, it's always a disaster, no matter HOW many times the info has been backed up. My LIFE, (literally, the CEREBRAL part of my brain and my input), is also stored and works in process on these computers. So when they break, my LIFE, (and the life of my company), is in peril. Jacob is the patient Doctor at COMPUTRONICS who jump starts and fixes bad wiring and ...does amazing things...fortunately, he doesn't charge like a neurosurgeon. The only bummer is, I had a meltdown last Friday and tried to call the number I've memorized, (310-444-4444, like so ""duh"" easy!!!), and ended up talking to a cab company. It took a while but I found Jacob again. THANK GOD! We're back in business again! Pros: From old PCs to the latest greatest laptops, they've got you covered. Cons: No ""on site"" service. more

As a Composer, I really rely on my ancient 1991 Dell with an old Dos program requiring 5 1/2"" and 3 1/2"" floppys...yes it's THAT old. The program I use is a little known DOS sequencing program, TEXTURE. It's my lucky program, and though I have all the new gadgets and wizards/programs for music sequencing, Texture is my LUCKY program...and it never breaks down unless there is a check waiting at the end of the project. Then the computer always crashes on FRIDAYS...(uncanny!)...Yet EACH time, Jacob could be found Saturday, working to fix it, calling around to find antiquated floppy drives and interfaces...and EACH time, Jacob Bahar and COMPUTRONICS saved the DAY! BUT! To make SURE I'm never caught without again, Computronics/Jacob is building me a ""new-OLD"" pc...and all for SUCH a reasonable price. THIS PLACE IS WORTH ITS WEIGHT IN GOLD! Pros: Trustworthy, reliable relief from Computer woes! Cons: I have to drive a long way to get here...but it's worth the drive more

Okay, bad bad bad bad news... Called in and asked if he had used screens for my lappy (screen was cracked( and he said 'I definitely have it, i have everything Toshiba.'\r \r I bring it in, and he shows me like 3 huge shelves full of used toshiba lappy screens, but says 'oh yours is too new, we need to order a new one' -- My computer was purchased the day after thanksgiving of 2006, and i took this thing in in January 08, and its too new. right\r \r Then i saw a tech who was talking to a cust. after just looking at his computer, and the owner (Jacob) calls tech into the backroom with a series of urgent hand gestures, and then starts explaining something in whispering tones at about 10000 miles an hour- then when tech walked away, Jacob makes an offhanded comment (for all to hear) about the guys girlfriend. Sorry, but thats not what you were just talking about...\r \r Stupidly, I left comp anyway and then got it back, and 2 months later, screen goes white. He charges me to look at it again (which seemed like he shouldnt have) then says its a monitor cable, that has been 'cut/pulled out' (per the work order)... then charges again to fix that. Well which one was it i wonder, doesnt seem like it could be both cut AND pulled...hmm...\r \r Then i get the thing back, and now all of a sudden, the speakers stop working within days. I totally don't think this guys on the up and up, and he's rude on top of it, as the complaints say.\r \r Now what he didnt know is that even though i walk around in an old hoodie and sandals alot, I am an attorney, and i dont appreciate getting ripped off, and would like to let everyone know that if they are suspicious about this businesses practices/treatment of them, there is legal recourse in the form of a class action claim (if there are enough people)-you can get $ back + more (if entitled).\r \r Please email me at timetosnuffit@yahoo. if you have a similar story, I would like to learn more about this guys business practices and/or hear similar stories. more

This place is a nice place where you can get any services for your computer done effectively and fast. Also the prices are amazing and the treatment is perfect and flexible. more

I was called by George as a follow up and I am very happy that he called because Jacob does a marvelous job of repairing the computers. He also teaches you how to maintain your own computer. I really wont go anywhere else even though I live in Glendale and his shop is in Santa Monica which is about 25 miles from my home. Thanks again more

I would not go no where else but, to Computronics service for repair on my computer. I am gone to get all my friends to bring in their computer. Pros: they fix it same day cheaper than everybody ,no need to buy new computer more

Computronics in West LA is fabulous! I used other computer repair services in the area for the last few years and I walked into computronics and will never go anywhere else. The service is not only great and fast, but the gentleman in store spent extra time with me and explained many things on my laptop in order to help make it run faster. All the while the store was busy and the phone was ringing, but he was extremely personable and always came right back to me. It so rare to find this kind of service! HIghly recommend. more

I brought my printer which would not feed the paper. Jacob fixed my printer just perfectly. I will come back to COMPUTRONICS Pros: fast response and good job more

A wonderful experience getting my laptop repaired. Prompt, economical, and efficient. I had keyboard and touchpad problem and that was perfectly fixed. Additionally, the computer was checked.\r Same Day Service. When other people said a week. more

I brought my computer in on a Wednesday and he said he would try to have the part by Monday. The part got in just 2 days later on Friday and he installed it that day within a few hours! Great service and gives suggestions on other computer enhancements but does not tell you things that are wrong with your computer that are not. Prices are fair as well. more

I had an immediate and excellent service with my laptop. \r I found out that their price is lower than other places.\r I will certainly recommend this Computronics to others! more

this place was extremely helpful. they know everything about computers and are very nice. a great place to go!! more

This place definitely provides much more personal, useful service than any big-name store. They definitely helped me out to not only discover with my laptop's battery, but they also gave me a discount on the correct product that I needed. more

I spent an entire day calling computer places hoping to find someone who could fix my broken DC jack on my laptop. I was so relieved when I finally called Computronics. Not only were they able to fix my computer for an extremely reasonable price, but the friendly staff was informative and showed me ways to clean up the computer to increase its operational speed. If I ever need any further work done on my computer, I will without a doubt call Computronics immediately. I would recommend them to anyone for their computer repair or maintenance needs. Pros: Helpful and reasonably priced computer repair!!! more

I thought they provided great service......until I took my computer back a week later. They offered to fix it......for another $75. I found out at another computer shop that they had not installed all the updates they should have. This left my system vulnerable to viruses, of course it got them, froze up, and is now worthless. Pros: nice first time Cons: keep charging more

Bad-mannered owner, overpriced service. When I got home after they ""fixed"" my computer, it froze up. Had an IT specialist (personal friend) look at it, he noted that not all the drivers were installed, some were installed improperly. Would not recommend to anyone, go somewhere where they will offer a service guarantee. Cons: incomplete work more
