5 Star Computer Service

Well Greg definitely lived up to his company’s name. It was a very quick and easy issue to deal with luckily but I couldn’t have asked for a quicker fix. I left my computer with Greg and he was done within an hour if not less. No lines, set a time to come in and he was there and ready. I figured I would be looking at dishing out an arm and a leg as with most electronic fixes but it wasn’t. If I ever have computer issues in the future I will definitely be going back to him! Thanks Greg!

Left Greg my computer Thursday because the computer would not send a signal to my monitor so I could see anything.
First he tried to help me diagnose it over the phone, but I wasn’t much help since im not too computer savvy. So i scheduled to drop it off that night. He called me 2 days later and it was ready to-​go, he diagnosed it for free and just charged me $ 20 to fix it! That was a fast turn around and cheap considering he has a full time job doing something else and he does this PART TIME! Real nice guy too. Thanks Greg! I will ALWAYS RECOMMEND YOU and will continue using your services.

5 Star Computer Service is the best find! I was standing in an hour + line at a large computer retailer (to have my computer serviced) when I thought, «there has to be a better way.» So, I looked on Unilocal and found Greg. With excellent, fast service and fair pricing, I’ll be calling him again and again. Thanks, Greg! Well done!

Very friendly Chap and Awesome service!!! This guy surely earned one more life time Customer. Keep it up.

Greg is top notch. He explained everything in detail that he was going to do and was very quick. He even added a part to my computer at no extra charge. Will definitely do business with him again. Thank You!!!

Greg is an excellent technician. Fixes problems quickly and at a more than reasonable price. Highly recommend his service.

I couldn’t be happier as a customer. Service was fast. Pricing was fair. Communication was great. Scheduling was flexible. It was a one-​stop shop for everything I needed. I was even advised about ways to save money on the services I was requesting. Greg replaced a few laptop parts for me and recovered data from a bunch of old hard drives. Overall, it was a job well done. I would recommend to my family and friends. Thank you, Greg!

Greg is fantastic. Got a computer problem? Stop worrying, call Greg.

Excellent service!!! Greg was quick in upgrading my laptop in 48 hours. Discussed with me any part replacement before any work was done. I also needed a laptop battery replaced. Even though he didn’t carry the part himself, he did an online search for me and found an original dell battery at a great price. As a busy working mom who is not the most computer savy, I greatly appreciated saving the time of doing my own research. I look forward to have Greg care for our family PC’s in the future.

Seriously I could go on and on about Greg and his business but there isn’t enough
space. Suffice it to say if you have a PC problem save yourself the time and hassle and go here!

I wish I could give 6 stars. He fixed my sons gaming computer and made it better than new. He is like an old time craftsman in the new technology world. He really cares that you get what you need. He even helped me decide on my new computer. THE BEST!

I was feeling down for days, not able to replace my CD/​DVD drive due to a completely stubborn screw I did a great job destroying out of desperation when it stripped almost immediately. I tried everything under the sun to get it out. It was destroyed beyond recognition. I was feeling defeated & ready to give up… but then I came here.
Beautiful place, and workshop, and even though what I needed was minor, I could tell this guy knows his stuff. He had my computer fixed, and the two people’s computer’s after me done, in probably a half an hour. He replaced my example of what you do NOT do to a screw, with a new one and helped to replace the fronts so that it would fit better (something I had not considered). Again, something minor, but I felt a huge weight lift off of my shoulders and heard the angels sing.
I thanked him profusely and told him he was a life-​saver. He reassured me it was just a computer. Five stars. Fast service. Great price. Don’t hesitate to call and set up an appointment.

I’ve never written a review on Unilocal before mainly because I can’t usually be bothered but I really just had to tell everyone that Greg is AMAZING. I am so happy that I at least READ reviews and based on the feedback chose 5 Star for my computer repair needs.
Greg always made me feel like my questions were smart (even when I know they weren’t!) and fixed my computer fast, perfectly, and gave me awesome recommendations for virus protection, hardware I needed, and more.
The prices are FAIR, even low by comparison and the first time I came for something small, he didn’t even charge me… which of course won me over as a customer and I came back with something trickier. He took care of me after I got the computer home and couldn’t figure out how to reconnect some things, and spent time with me on the phone until I got back on track.
I give Greg and 5 Star my HIGHEST (and so far ONLY recommendation!) Lisa

I can echo all of the positive reviews of Greg’s computer repair services. Greg was able to diagnose the problems with my laptop and provided an accurate estimate for the repair. In addition, he really cleaned the machine up and offered suggestions for protecting it. He treated the computer as if it was his own! Thanks, Greg, for saving the day!

Ok.
So.
We already had an amazing impression of Greg just from his telephone assessment of our Toshiba trauma a few weeks back.
My husband Michael M. went to deliver the Toshiba to Greg on Thursday May 29 in the evening.
Greg delivered a polished up, security firewalled, spiffy running Toshiba to us today on ⁶⁄₃.
The computer is like new. Security has been installed.
All we had to do was link up to the wireless network and to our wireless printer.
Of all the 600+ reviews I have written, the 5 red stars you see up above should be 10 red stars. Fervently, with respect, Greg, we bow to you.

Great guy!
I lost my recovery disc for my computer, called him up, and I had one in my hands within the hour. For VERY cheap too! I highly recommend this guy for all your computer needs, I know I will be going to see him again to get more RAM put in my computer, and fairly soon, too.

I’ve been scammed in the past by crooked computer repairmen (ex. COMPUTRONICS) and have since then about who I trust to look at my devices.
Greg was a breath of fresh air. He’s extremely knowledgeable about computers as he’s had over a decade of experience fixing them. He spent time diagnosing the cause of my hardware problems and suggested an EXTREMELY cheap fix (cost me $ 23).
He’s now my go-​to guy for computer repair, I HIGHLY RECOMMEND Greg. He deserves the 5-​star rating he has on Unilocal

Greg is a great guy, very honest and tells you like it is.
We had a laptop that had some water damage, he took a look at it, checked it and it ended up being just the keyboard. Said we could buy one and have it installed or we could do it ourselves. No scam, no nothing.
If only more people were like Greg in the world, I would highly recommend him.

Heavy breathing, fear, anger, fist pounding, panic, dark storm clouds… no, I’m not describing a zombie-​attack on modern day Los Angeles but instead my reaction when my much-​depended on computer crashed in the middle of an innocent internet foray. After freezing and no response when I tried to turn it on; an anxiety attack ensued and I reached for my Unilocal phone app in .01 seconds to research a nearby computer shop. That is how 5 Star Computer Service came into my life.
I am sure happy it did. After reading all 5-​star reviews (a few 4’ers) I decided to call 5 Star Computer. I understood that this was a computer-​repair shop out of someone’s home but the ratings spoke volumes. I spoke to Greg, the owner and proprietor; who was kind, professional, and patient. I explained my situation and he was quick to respond that I could bring it in immediately and assured me to think positive thoughts. Greg’s experience shines through as he has been working on computers for 19 years, has engineering training, and owned a computer shop for 8 years before relocating to his home-​front. Greg suggested I photograph my wires before I leave in order to know how to re-​set my computer at a later time. Off I went lugging my desk-​top computer tower (I know, I know… I am «old-​school»).
I arrived to a beautiful, marvelously landscaped home. Greg came outside to help carry the computer and led me to his Zen-​garden-​hot tub backyard where he has a compressor to clean all the dust (and in my case: cat hair) out of computers. This isn’t some scraggly air can you buy at Best Buy; I’m talking a full-​on work-​shop style compressor. To say the least, my computer hasn’t been this clean since I got it.
He then led me into his shop which is meticulously OCD. Everything is organized, labeled, and clean. If nothing else, this first impression helped calm me a bit. Greg offered me a chair and allowed me to sit and tag along for the process. Granted, we didn’t know what was wrong yet and it could take days but he wanted me to relax. Greg took apart my computer and began to try to isolate the problem. Luckily in my case, he found it quickly and it wasn’t too ‘bad’ (my upgrade v-​card has decided to end its life so I had to revert back to the on-​board one or purchase a new one for about $ 60).
Greg proceeded to repair the part and allow the computer to do its diagnostics repairs. In the mean time, he also checked and cleaned a couple other issues I complained of and searched for refurbished parts in his shop to offer me. Plus, he thoroughly answered all my questions regarding my computer, computer and external hard drive brands, plus whatever else I threw at him.
Overall, the experience took about 2 hours but Greg truly helped calm my nerves and I didn’t feel swindled or taken advantage of. His pro demeanor and genuine good-​nature shines through. He also affirmed that I can maintain contact with him in case I had any issues afterwords.
What did my repair cost my wallet? Drum roll please: $ 40! That’s it! To be honest, I hugged the man (I’m unemployed: even a $ 1 means a lot to me!). I was beyond thrilled. For the record: 5 Star Computer accepts cash, credit, or debit.
How has my computer faired? Well, I’m typing this review on it for one. I did have some initial problems turning it on but it has been fine since (I will continue to keep an eye on it). It has been super quiet to the point of not even being able to tell it is on (my fan used to ALWAYS be going on full-​speed). So far, all is well.
Please note that Greg has another day-​job so his hours are in the evening time of 4−8pm.
Greg is not only a terrific «computer guy» but also a great person. I have found my go-​to for computer repairs and would recommend him to anyone who owns computer. Which is everyone! So, my panic attack has subsided (and hopefully won’t return) and my computer is happy. Crisis over.

He is a God send!!!
You could not find a more honest, knowledgeable and fair repair person — or person for that matter. I had a computer that was only 6 months old and freaking out on me. Of course, it started 5 days after the factory warranty expired…
I called and stopped in so many places. I know more than the average bear about computers and, so, if things are at the place where I need to take it to someone, then, I am out of my knowledge area and they can tell me/​sell me anything.
Everyplace I went immediately started talking about putting in a new mother board for a few hundred dollars without even turning it on. Like cars, you have to find someone trustworthy to take a computer to, because, it is really easy to scam a person.
Then I found Greg… He worked hard to find the problem, updated me frequently and was extremely knowledgeable. He finally opened the back up and found that the battery had become loose. It shorted out the speakers, but, amazingly, nothing else!
He fixed it, checked everything to make sure things were running correctly, took pictures of the loose battery and his repair process (he showed them to me when I picked it up) and he EVEN researched USB speaker drives that I could use with portable speakers for sound and recommended me a place and brand for me to get it. I didn’t even ask.
Then came the price!!!
I almost sobbed it was so generous. I had been in an accident and was recovering from multiple broken bones, so, money was tight, but, he was so generous with his price.
I would never go to anyone else and worry he may move…
