LA Computer Company

Hight marks for these folks. They souped up my 2009 mac mini. They installed a new solid state drive and expanded ram to 8 gigs. All in one afternoon. Very friendly and professional. Thanks to Nate and the staff.

I had a great experience with LA Computers. First off, the technicians are friendly and very knowledgeable. I had to bring my MacBook in because it had water damage and they we’re able recover my hard drive with my life on it with no problem and for a great cost. I will come back if needed and recommend them for sure!

An outstanding alternative to the Apple Store.
I’ve been an Apple fan for years — can’t believe LA Computer Company has been open since 1993 and is only a few blocks from my house!
Based on the name only, I wouldn’t have thought they were the place to go for Mac’s, however they’re very similar in look and the feel of an Apple store — with less of a crowd, lower prices, faster friendlier service, and deals on trade ins, refurbished and slightly used MacBooks.
My hard drive died on my MacBook Pro after work on a Friday. Wasn’t sure if I would need to purchase a whole new laptop or what! Tried to make an appointment for service at the Apple Store, next available appointment was on the following Tuesday, unless I wanted to drive about an hour away for an 8:30 pm appointment (no way it would’ve gotten fixed on the spot!)
For years I’ve only went to the Apple Store for purchases and service — ever since experiencing a «train wreck» getting service at Fry’s years ago. I was hesitant to go elsewhere. After searching Unilocal for Apple Repair and checking the reviews decided I’d give them a try.
So glad I did — No up selling. Service Technician Jorge knew exactly what it was, did a quick test and told me he’d have it done in an hour! He recommended a 1 TB drive — which for only $ 20 more than the drive I had, was double the size.
He said the rest of my computer was in great shape — and for about $ 180 out the door — it would be better than new!
It was done in and hour, in addition Jorge cleaned the screen, keyboard and case and upgraded my system to the latest version of Yosemite.
They specialize in all Apple products, so a great place for your iPhone, iPad and iPod needs.
LA Computer Company also services any make of computer.
From the reviews, it looks like they’ve been doing a great job for years. it’s great their so close for me, but i’d make the drive if this store was farther away. It will be my first stop before ever going to the Apple Store again!

I was very happy with the service I received. The staff are friendly and professional. I traded in my iMac for a Mac Pro so I expected to wait a day or two to get my laptop after the data transfer. I was pleasantly surprised when Nate called me to say my Mac Pro was ready to pick up that same day! Excellent service! I won’t be going to the Apple store anymore!

Great service and great prices. The staff is very friendly and helpful. I trust this company with all of my computer needs.

I have been going to LA Computer for over 10 years and have shopped here to purchase and service my Apple computers. I have had only excellent service from them and appreciate their friendly and professional service. The sales staff are great without the pressure of some other places. The service department is always helpful when I have called with a problem — walking me through some simple solutions to my situation. When we have had to bring in a computer, the repairs were done in a timely fashion and at a reasonable cost. They are my first stop to buy or repair our Apple computers, and I love how conveniently located they are to my home.

This has always been one of my favorite places to bring my Mac products. They are very pleasant to work with and knowledgable. I recommend this place to anyone who needs work in their Mac or are looking for «new» refurbished laptop/​MacBooks.

Have has everything from CPUs, laptops and iPhones repaired there. Also purchased a used computer from them. We own. Small business in Fullerton and ONLY use macs. Very helpful. Nice people. Good prices. Trust them.
I have called before had gotten help over the phone. Recommend them to people all the time. Wish they had more weekend hours, but otherwise love them.

Great service. Sold my 15″ MBP to them form PA. Yusuf took care of everything, Shipping, return shipping for the check, and even promised me if i didn’t like his offer he’d ship the computer back to me. I ended up taking his offer, and he sent me a check that cleared. He does keep his word and is a great guy. DEAL WITH THIS COMPANY FOR YOUR APPLE NEEDS. YOU WON’T GO WRONG.

Where do I begin? Cameron and Nate are the best! This is THE place for all Apple computer repair and Apple product repairs. My iMac (just outside it’s warranty period, of course) began giving me error windows about two thirds the way through backing up with Time Machine so I used Drive Genius to check my disk and it said there were data blocks that couldn’t be repaired. Oh Oh. So now I think I’m screwed because Time Machine wasn’t backing everything up. I brought it to LA Computer and they were able to back up all my data AND install a new drive in 2 days. But that’s not all. A week later my wife’s Mac Air suddenly won’t boot up. Fortunately, it IS still under warranty but, unfortunately, she wasn’t backing up her data. So I took it to the Apple Genius Bar and they determined it was a bad drive needing replacement. They recommended Kroll Ontrac in Fountain Valley for recovering the data. I drove out to FV and gave them the laptop and they quoted $ 600-​$ 1800 to recover the data. But they would diagnose it first and then provide an accurate cost. 4 days go by with no word so I call them and I find out the laptop needs to be shipped to their Minnesota office because they don’t have the right adapter. Ugh. So off I go with the Mac Air to LA Computer like I should have in the beginning. Nate says no problem, Cameron can do this. Get a a call the next day «We’ve recovered all your data». Picked up the laptop and took it back to the Apple Store to get the new hard drive installed. Transferred all the data back on to it and LA Computer saves me again. Only $ 199. Two lessons learned: Take your Apple computers to LA Computer for everything Apple repair related and back up all your files all the time…

Just picked up my IPAD 3. I had dropped it and shattered the glass. There are many companies that advertised repairs for less but I did not want to ship it to the unknown. After reading reviews on Unilocal I decided to give these guys a try and walked it in. The customer service was excellent. They kept me posted as to the disposition of my IPAD and when I picked it up, it looks and works perfectly. I’m a customer service director for a very large company and we are known for our customer service. This is what I expect to see from our employees and it is good to see a company who feels the same way. I feel as I got a bargin and would recommend them highly. Good job boys!

Awesome service at this place. I rate it higher than the Apple Store «Genius Bar». I have been getting my Macs repaired & upgraded there for the past 8 years and their customer service, turn-​around time and value for the money is hard to beat.
Today, I called about repairing a problem that my 2008 MacBook Pro recently developed in which the select button below the trackpad stopped working. Before suggesting that I bring it in for an expensive and time-​consuming repair, the technician I spoke with told me to check the battery to see if it was swollen, because that was a common cause of my problem. Sure enough, he was correct. I replaced the slightly-​swollen (but still working battery) with my spare battery and my MacBook was as good as new.
I can’t say enough good things about this place. In my past experience, they even cleaned off all the grime on my case, keyboard and trackpad when I brought it in for a memory upgrade.
AFAIK, they are a certified Apple service center, and will honor all AppleCare issues the same way an Apple Store would. Please correct me if I am wrong. :-)

I would give this place 6 stars if I could. The reason our family keeps coming back here to buy our mac computers is because of the excellent customer service. The salespeople here don’t try to sell you anything that you don’t need. The staff is very knowledgeable, helpful and non-​pretentious and they have very good follow up. I would recommend anyone who is interested in buying a mac to come here

The Genius at Apple told us we needed a new logic board and recommended that we junk it and buy a new computer. WRONG. Cameron diagnosed it and fixed it, all for a reasonable fee of $ 99.00. And they are really friendly guys and explain thing very well.

the employee pretty kind to me. I had a bad experience with the owner. I had a quote for memory at $ 80 at two times. I went the store with my computer. After they install the memory, the owner ask $ 120 so I was little upset and I want to know why the price change without notice. The owner took my computer from my hand and took out the memory and yelling to me. This is not make sense to me and not acceptable attitude in US. I paid by credit the memory. After the transaction completed, the memory in the my computer is mine. But he steal my memory, and he didn’t give any cancellation paper. I regret that I purchase the MacPro for my church last Tuesday.

The service from behind the repair counter is very good. The guy was helpful and was able to fix my laptop without having to replace some parts that we thought might have needed to be replaced, therefore saving me some money.
But here’s the problem: I cannot get my computer because they have a policy where you cannot have someone else go pick up a repair for you. Even if you call and give all of your personal information to verify your identity, they will not allow it. I was told it is to «protect me», but I am me. And since they open at 9am and close at 6pm during the week, if you work, that pretty much means the only day you can pick up your repair is on Saturday between 11am and 3pm. So, here I am on a Tuesday with my computer ready, and I’ll probably have to wait until the weekend to get it.

They picked up on the third ring and I got a good deal on my AppleCare.

I’ve been there 2 times for servicing my MacBook. The people are very helpful and fair. The last time I went, I had dropped my computer, I thought it was dead. The Tech straightened it all out for FREE and I only needed a $ 30. part.
They do have a great selection of «Closeouts» on the website. Refurbished certified Macs at unbelievable prices! I’ll be back!

I’m in a weird place because I’ve been a PC and I don’t see that changing, yet, I’m also now a Mac. I really like my mac, I lurve it!
That said I needed to upgrade the memory for it and came here. They had the memory in stock and did the upgrade right in front of me and I was in there and out of there quicker than a college kid at Adelita’s in Tijuana.
Go to there!

I took my old ass lap top in here for some TLC. I needed a new battery and memory. I checked
and they didn’t even have the upgrades I needed for my computer, apparently my computers obsolete. it’s only 4 years old geez!
I came in here and was in and out in a flash with everything I needed. I was assuming they would have to order what I needed but they had it in stock! They even installed my memory free of charge on the spot. The employees were so helpful! I know nothing about computers and they helped me find just what I needed. I was pleased when they told me that the cheaper generic battery was better then the more expensive ones. No up selling, I didn’t feel like I was taken advantage of at all.
My computer is running like new now!
