In the 12 years I've known John, there has never been a computer problem he hasn't fixed! Genius doesn't come close to describe him! I guarantee he'll be the last repair guy you'll ever have to search on this site, ever! "John is One of a Kind!" Salvador Beverly Hills, CA

With more time working from home due to recent pandemic, I needed speed and IT assistance to ensure my work was accessible and updates were accurate. I was referred to John Compton at Avenue 18 by a friend in the entertainment business of screenwriting who had worked with him for many years. She highly recommended him. John is quick, professional, and is a life saver for my IT needs in more ways than I can ever say.
As a senior vice president of a large insurance international brokerage, my home office needs to be efficient and easy to operate. Thankfully Avenue 18 is here to my personal IT office problem solver. It is why I highly recommend him to others, especially now that remote office work is my new normal. Thank you, Avenue 18.

Been using John Compton for almost five years when I realized I was no longer capable of keeping my machine going efficiently. First he tuned the old computer, added memory, to make it last a little longer and added sorely needed backup systems. When I needed more power John built a very fast quad screen machine that should go for a long time. I am paranoid about loosing data, so John has several automated backup systems going.
He seems to know all the techie maintenance and diagnostic tools available and keeps up on the latest versions Mostly remote servicing. Logs onto my machine and does whatever is necessary. The last time he came here was to install the 4-screen. He does regular remote maintenance to make sure the backups are up to date, the latest software versions are on the computer, and restore performance if it has deteriorated. Needless to say, I am satisfied with what he does for me. Tom Budlong Los Angeles

I made a huge error by only giving him one star I meant it for someone else who was here the day before. On a scale of 1-10 he definitely is a 10 therefore deserving 5 STARS. Stupid error on my part he's also very personable.

I have been using Avenue 18 Computer for over 10 years now, and would't think of taking my computer' to any other place. They have saved me hundreds of dollars over the years. They are very courteous, and do excellent work. They have a quick turnaround, and at times, fix my computer on line. Their prices are fair and cannot give enough thanks to them. To me, they are the best in the business. Happy customer, A. Gaston

These guys saved my computer. It was my birthday. There was a work mishap. I called and ran over. They brought it back from the dead, and did so in the same day. Super generous. Smart. Hard working. Honest. I am now a loyal enthusiastic customer. Thank you Avenue 18 Computer Service!
