I have called tech doctors for service a couple of times and each time, the computer problem was resolved. They are experts with technology and I was fortunate to become aware of their business. I will call them for all future issues that arise.

Its amazing what these guys can do. They were very professional and friendly. I didn't think my computer had any life still but they saved it and even cleaned it. It ran and looked like the day I bought it. I highly recommend them for all your computer issues.

Above and beyond solving a difficult software and hardware problem on my business Mac Pros these guys, Henri in particular, advised me on improvements that vastly improved the productivity and safety of our operations. Much better service than I have received from any technical resources before. Highly recommend Tech Doctors!

My MacBook Pro lap top (only a few years old!) suddenly died while in Hawaii. I waited 3 weeks for a technician on island to diagnose it "unknown." I shipped it back to my hometown to Tech Doctors & Henri had it fixed and shipped back to me in 24 hours. Simply Amazing. I'm a customer for life.

I had a time deadline for a trip and my computer wasn't holding a charge well. When I went in to Tech Doctors, it turned out that my battery was swelling. I didn't even know that was a thing. I found out that sometimes swelling batteries explode because of the changing air pressure in an airplane. They had a rental laptop for me. But the morning I was leaving on my trip, my battery came in to their office, they installed it immediately, and I went and picked it up shortly before I needed to leave for the airport.
I appreciate them understanding how much I love my computer and would much have preferred to take my computer than the rental that I had from them. They were friendly, knowledgeable, and I will totally go back there again.

I went to tech doctors once a year ago after frying my computer, and needing major help to save it. Henry was great then, so when I had an issue I couldn't fix on my own recently, I called and got a same day appointment. Great help once again. This kind of expertise is expensive, and I feel like I've always gotten a really good deal on the services.

They are the best computer repair my husband & I have ever been to. My husband was finishing a document that he needed to get out that day. His laptop was acting strange, so he restarted it, but when he did, he only got a blue screen. It wouldn't boot up. Frantic, because my husband was on a deadline with his document, I started calling computer repair companies. Tech Doctors had the best price for running a diagnostic.
It was 3:45 in the afternoon & they closed at 4, but kindly, they said they would wait another 15 minutes for my husband to get his computer to them. The next morning they called us & the hard drive needed to be replaced. They were able to do it that same day. They put in a better hard drive, transferred all the data & it runs so much better than before, at an incredibly reasonable price & my husband was able to get his document out that afternoon.
We are so grateful & will forever be taking our computers to them. Also found out that he builds computers as well. We will be having that done soon too. We highly recommend them. Thank you Tech Doctors!

My computer died over the weekend so I reached out to a few different places I found here and Henry was the first to return my call. He made is super easy to say YES to choosing him, his prices are extremely affordable and his service is completely professional and impeccable. After the initial diagnostic, he mentioned it might be better to replace my computer and gave me excellent recommendations to consider that would not benefit him in any way.
He made me feel like he really cared about helping me, as opposed to just making a buck. I ended up having him fix what I have for now and it's working like a champ! I highly recommend him and Dukkey's. I can't say enough about how great they are.

It's awesome to have computer repair shop locally in Carpinteria, and Dukky Repair is top notch and a great value. Previously when located in Santa Barbara, Dukky was able to fix our computer that had minor water damage for a reasonable rate, that the Apple store wouldn't touch. And I just recently had him replace the battery on my MacBook Air, and now it's working great, better than ever.

Tech Doctors was there the moment I needed help- they gave me a free consult which saved me an expensive mistake- I almost worked with another company that would have charged me hundreds of dollars. Tech doctors came to me within the day, and found out there was a dirty wire inside my computer that was causing the entire problem. I am so grateful and they clearly are exceptional at what they do.

After spilling coffee all over my laptop, I thought my computer was doomed. I took it in to Dukky after flipping it upside down and trying to let the liquid drain out, not having much hope. Henry got it back up and running after just a couple hours, and replaced the keyboard as well. He also backed everything up on an external hard drive for me. It was returned as good as new for a fraction of what I'm sure apple would charge me. Henry is super smart, nice, and professional, definitely go here with your electronics issues.

AMAZING! I spilled a HUGE glass of water allllll over my laptop two days ago late at night while studying for a midterm. I felt hopeless, but I immediately went on yelp and emailed them at like 3 am from my phone explaining the situation. I was delighted to wake up to an email from Henri, the owner, reassuring me that he could help and saying that I could bring it in any time after 9. I got off class a little late and knew i wouldn't get there before they closed.
I called in just to say i would take it in the next day, but instead, Henri said he would just stay open until I got there! SO SWEET. He opened it up on the spot and showed me where the damage was, even explaining what he would do to help me. The very next day, I picked it up and now I'm happy to say I'm writing this review on the laptop that I thought was completely toast. I will definitely be going back to Henri for any future electronic issues. :))

GO HERE for computer repairs! Super friendly and knowledgeable, Henri diagnosed and fixed my problem quickly and economically. He communicated exactly what was wrong and his proposed fix in a clear, non-patronizing manner--unlike some other Mac repair places. A more well known shop quoted me a high price for an uncertain outcome, and Henri's price and prognosis were far better than theirs.

Henri noticed my computer was running slow while I was opening a PDF file on my iMac desktop at my office. He told me that my hard-drive is most likely old and needed replacement. He explained to me that hard-drives can go bad because it is constantly spinning like a CD and after many years it will cause the computer to 'crash.' He replaced my hard-drive with a new SSD which stands for 'Solid State Drive' which means it's a newer style of hard-drive that doesn't spin. Henri was able to transfer all my data (photos, programs, files etc) to the new SSD drive and installed it in my iMac.
My computer now runs fast and efficient which saves me time when I'm working on big Photoshop files. He is an Apple Certified Tech but now works independently, which in my opinion behooves the customer because he is not restricted by corporate protocols. The coolest thing about my experience is that Henri clarified many things without using techie vernacular and I not only got a fast working computer at a great price, but I learned a heap of information. Thank you.

Paul came to the rescue in the middle of midterms when my son clicked on a fake Adobe update popup. My son's new MacBook Air was disabled from the malware.

Tech doctors have come to my rescue more than once. They were a massive help in integrating a brand new, wireless restaurant pos (point of sale) system into an existing, very old infrastructure. They successfully installed the new software and connected all iPads and wireless networks across 3 floors and a large outdoor dining area, (where others had failed before). They were also always available for trouble-shooting and follow up.
I subsequently mentioned that my MacBook Pro (that I love) was becoming frustrating to use because it was so slow (rainbow spinning wheel all the time). They recommended I replace the hard drive with a solid state drive. They came to me to switch it (and transfer all of my data), and now my 7-year old computer runs like it's brand new! I highly recommend them, for small and big Mac projects.

For weeks, I spent countless hours trying to diagnose and solve an issue I was having on my laptop. The Internet was giving me all the advice in the world but still, no luck. I was losing motivation and was giving up. I thought I was going to have to buy a new computer.
I asked Facebook friends for help and one forwarded me the Tech Doctors info. I emailed and called Tech Doctors hoping they could help me out that week. I received a phone call an hour later and they fixed the problem that day! You guys rock! I can't thank these guys enough.
