Gave three stars because they did what I asked, but it ended up that I didnt even need to extract data. I didnt specifically ask them to see if there was another option, but feel like they might have been able to determine I did not need this when they evaluated the issue.

I had replaced my battery and a few weeks later, it just didnt charge anymore. I was concerned so I called the DC Computer, they told me to bring it in so I did. I am attached to my computer because of my work so I told them if they can do it quickly... BOOM 1.5hr later they called me and apologize for having me to come back again for their error and they put a BRAND NEW battery for free! I cant thank enough!

Had a great experience working with Daniel @ DC Computers this week. He is extremely knowledgeable, pointed me in the right direction to get the best computer for my needs. I was in and out of there super quick! Its always best to work with a small business on this kind of thing because you never know what your going to get when you blindly purchase things online! Will definitely come back again!

After the manufacturers of my computer told me it would be $400 (TO START!!!) to replace one hinge...... DC Computers replaced both hinges, discovered a failing battery and replaced it, at a total cost of $290. They were fast, friendly and frighteningly efficient. I would give them 7 stars if I could, but Google isnt having it. I love my computer like some people love their pets and leaving it with anyone is hard; thank Buddha I found this place.

Such a phenomenal staff there at DC Computers!! Between the owner Chris and his amazing staff, I was able to receive top notch service. Not only did they prepare me with a new MacBook, but I had stopped in numerous of times with simple questions that they answered for me every time. They even went as far as to not only answer the million and one questions I had, but they also gave me one on one training in terms of how to solve the problems myself in case they were not available.I would recommend anyone looking for Affordable computers or services to reach out to these awesome humans. And as someone transitioning in life, They were nothing but mindful and sincere. P.s. there is a guy there we awesome eyes that is very mysterious haha. Check him and them out yall!

I bought a computer from them in 2015 when i needed to upgrade for a new job. I have always been an Apple customer, but wasn’t making Apple money, so i was stoked to find a local option that offered that product at a lower cost. I didn’t need the newest of new, i just needed something that worked and was more reasonably secure than buying off of Craigslist or something. These guys far exceeded that. They were helpful, steering me away from a more expensive, but unnecessary option, and reassured me that they would guarantee the purchase.I still have and use that computer every day. It works great and i MAY upgrade from them soon, just cause you can’t change the battery in an Airbook.

Im so lucky these guys are around.Unfortunately for them, I am the customer that comes only once in a while, always with an emergency and THEY ALWAYS DELIVER. ALWAYS.While I dont take them or their expertise for granted, I am looking forward to working with them on a non emergency, non code blue type of computer repair situation.Thank you guys for being so reliable!

Upgrading to a newer Macbook Pro and DC Computers has been extremely helpful and knowledgeable. Theyre a one stop shop for migrating data and getting everything setup correctly. I will continue to rely on them for all my computer needs.

DC C. reapplied thermal paste to my late 2013 MBP. The service was quick and the computer was returned completely cleaned up, including all the keys on the keyboard.Another time I needed to ask an expert how to find something on some software of our banking records. Nobody seemed to know the answer, but they had a very good idea that worked. Anyway they helped me for free.I highly recommend them and will continue using their services.

These guys are a class act.I brought them a 2013 macbook pro that wouldnt turn on. They recommended a new logic board. Pricing for the repair was fair and I was on the fence about fixing my older computer. They gave great advice to help me decide if fixing v. buying a new laptop was the right choice. I talked to multiple employees and communication and friendliness was consistent across all Representatives.The diagnosis fee of $40 was also fair.Id recommend DC coomputers if you need your computer diagnosed and fixed!

These guys are fantastic. When I called to ask for advice buying a used computer for my flight simulator they took lots of time with me on the phone to explain what I needed. I bought an almost new gaming laptop from them for 1/3 the price of a new one. When I had a small problem a month later with a configuration setting they explained clearly what I needed to do and even did the Google search for me to make sure I was directed to the right instructions. Everyone in their store is extremely knowledgeable about computers and they have a great customer service attitude.

DC Computers in Hillcrest is the best computer store in San Diego. I honestly like it better than the Apple Store. They have MacBooks, MacBook Pros, iMacs, MacBook Airs, Mac Pros, Mac Minis + PCs for Sale, like IBM ThinkPads and Lenovo laptops.I got a MacBook Pro from them for my personal computer and they upgraded the RAM and the SSD Hard Drive. For my business, DC provided me with a powerful 27 inch iMac, and even replaced a cracked screen on a laptop for me and saved the data.Plus, they have some of the best deals on iPhones & iPads in town.They are so cool and understanding, and their customer service is terrific.Thank you DC Computers!

I am very grateful to DG Computers and recommend them highly. I bought a 2013 macbook pro from them about 6 years ago which worked great until I spilled coffee all over the keyboard last week. I took it to DG Computers and although they could fix it....it was expensive, and since it was an old computer I purchased a newer 2020 macbook pro with Daniels help. Subsequently, the spacebar stuck on this computer and it was fixed the same day when I took it back to the store. Everyone I have encountered at this place knows what they are doing and are very knowledgeable about computers. Thanks again for your help!

Very nice staff. Quick service. However, check the price before using. Cost to fix my old iMac with a new drive was 50 dollars less than a refurbished same year and model with double the storage. Therefore, you are paying for speed and location of service. Up to you.

My labtop for a while wasnt charging properly so I decided to take it in to DC computers. Chris was super helpful and very easy to work with. He explained what was wrong and let me know that everything was going to be okay! This is not my first time coming since my company has their apple products fixed here all the time. after a couple of days my labtop was running like new! 10/10 5 stars! Thank you Chris!

Went in after getting a computer message about the battery. The sales rep gave me some options, and was honest about them. There was no need for any repair, and when I am ready, Im definitely going back to buy my next laptop from them. Their professionalism and honesty was much appreciated.

Came in to get my iPhone battery replaced. The store was clean and had some cool looking dismantled computer displays. The cost was about $70, and took about an hour to do. The guy was very friendly and straightforward, and he was correct in that the battery would help my trusty iPhone 6 pick up speed again. I would bring my computer to get repaired here again.

The guys were not wearing masks, and when I asked why not, they just said they didnt have to. The service was mediocre - sort of whatever. I did buy a newer computer as my old one died, and they give a discount on data recovery. But when it was ready, they said they didnt remove the corrupted files.Picking up today and will update after I get it.

I had a few issues with my gaming rig and took it in to get looked at a few weeks ago. I dropped off my computer acting foolishly like I had no idea what was wrong with it. I needed a little bit more help when it comes to certain things with my custom built rig. I came back the next day thinking they called me in to bring my monitor since my BIOS would not come up? When I brought in the monitor, guy at the front counter said it would be looked at by Monday? I simply repeated myself letting him know that I was picking up my computer and wanted to see what was wrong with it. As soon as I gave him the specs. He mumbled a bit and I could tell he was trying to blow me off at first. Started throwing numbers at me $1,500-$1,900 for a new build that I didnt want? I asked him what type of upgrades would be possible?? Younger guy working in the back on the computers was very nice and knowledgeable when I asked about CPU and motherboards. I walked out of DC Computers more disappointed than when I brought it in. I understand he has a service to provide, but not like that. Needs better customer service.

My husband and I purchased an Apple laptop through DC Computers and had a fantastic experience. Someone was always available to take calls, any programming or request for upgrades were a smooth process, questions or concerns were all answered with confidence. I received a great product at a fantastic price and have recommended DC Computers to my sister and mother who have also purchased laptops and each had an equally great experience. I would highly recommend DC Computers for a great product, personal customer service and incredible prices.

Review №47

They do a good job. Its hard selling and maintaining computers day in and day out so they do get a bit weary. And their prices are steep but are also backed up by their integrity and fairness. When I need a sure thing fast for a client I go here. They never disappoint. Be sure to help them make sure you have all you need at the time of purchase. These guys get tired and a little grumpy once in awhile... Hell, its hard work dealing with this stuff all day long... so make sure you are careful about what you purchase, that it is right for you and has all the components you need. If not theyll still come through for you. Youll pay a premium but you will never get ripped off here. Ask for Chris Donnelly. Hes the best.

Brought my computer in with something wrong with the monitor or graphics card. They got it to work again but were unable to recreate the issue. They ran it through the ringer to see if they could find it. Asked them a few questions about what would happen again and told me that Apple would have to be the ones to fix it. Hooked me up in a day. These guys are awesome. Did this all same day! Will be bring my computer back to them if anything happens again.

I don’t really do reviews anymore since I deleted my Yelp account, but I have to write one on here for Daniel & Chris. I have been going to them for years and they always stand behind what they repair and what they sell 100% with no BS and they go that extra mile for their customers. I wouldn’t buy a used Mac or have my computer repaired anywhere else.

This is my second time visiting, and both were easy and economical. The first involved adding memory and a larger drive to my old desktop. Today I picked up my daughter’s MacBook. She had taken it to the Apple store after spilling water on it. Apple quoted $1,500 minimum for repair and encouraged her to consider a new laptop. DC fixed it for $95. Doesn’t get much better than that.

The motherboard (ASUS) on my 6-year old rebuild of a Dell desktop finally bit the dust. Since DC Computers is only a few blocks from my house, and since they had been recommended to me many times by friends and work colleagues, I took the corpse to them. They recommended a Lenovo desktop with roughly the same speed and data storage as my old system so I bought it. That came with a complete transfer of my Windows 10 and all the data. In 24 hours it was ready for pick-up. My experience when I got it home and turned it on was unbelievably smooth. Everything was where it was, all the files were intact, and the machine was far faster than the relic. The staff couldnt have been more helpful or knowledgeable, especially Chris D. who answered all my questions in jargon-free English. I recommend them unreservedly.

This is an excellent place of business. It is run by professionals, not a bunch of geniuses. Chris was able to figure out what I needed for my computer simply by listening to my amateur discription of what the problem was and he gave me what I needed for free. I will be bringing my laptop in soon for a cleanup.

Bought my MacBook Pro here last year and it is still working like the first day I bought it. Stopped in and got some more RAM now it is lightning fast. Thanks guys! You made it easy and fast once again to get service completed on my workhorse! They swapped out the RAM in minutes. They even cleaned my computer for me (Inside and out!) Now thats service.

They could have replaced the hard drive in my computer under warranty but said it would be too much of a hassle and that they wouldnt do it. Its because they would only be making money off labor why waste their precious time . I even advised i would gather purchase date and manufacturer name and number and he still wouldnt touch it. Two thumbs down for DC computers boo😞never helpful .

Ive had a 06 macbook and up until recently it was working kinda slow. I knew someday I was going to need to invest in a more newer mac. So I decided to check out DC Computers to see if they could help me out.Daniel did a on the spot diagnostic test and let me know that trying to fix/upgrade my current mac would not be the best route to go with and eventually I would be spending more $$$ trying to always upgrade it. So I after looking at about 3 different macs with various price levels, made the decision. Got a MacBook Pro for a lot less then a new one!! Daniel hooked it up with a great price and threw in Adobe Suite. Since my purchase Ive had no issues with my Mac.Amazing service and experience! Highly recommend this place to anyone looking to fix or in my case, buy a mac.
