PC Parlor

Oh my goodness they’re such lifesavers! Upgrading the graphics card was easy… or so we thought. They helped us with our novice mistake of plugging the monitor to the old 15-​pin instead of plugging in to our newly installed graphics card and VIOLA… we have visual. For non-​techies like us — we thought we broke the computer. But thanks to PC Parlor, they schooled us on our novice mistake and sent us along without charging us.
We came here because of their 5-​star rating on Unilocal and that’s the service we got. Thanks PC Parlor. Hope we never have a computer problem again. But if we do, you’ll be the first one we will call for sure.

3 days after I installed window 10, my wifi stopped working. I did a diagnostic run, it showed a message of network card cable whatever is broken. I called PC Parlor and spoke to Tony. He immediately told me the was new window compatibility issue. I revered the window back to original one and still not working. I brought my computer to PC parlor and Tony asked me to check the computer with him. !!! wifi was working somehow. Tony did not charge me for his time and was a honest guy. Another repair place could just easily charge me to replace a new network card. I will not hesitate to contact this place again if I need computer assistant.

I have used PC Parlor for a long time now. The staff is bright and understands my problems. They can correct most issues online but are also available for office/​home visits. The fees they charge are more than fair. After a couple of visits it is like family. They are never too busy to address your needs. I would and have recommend them to any one with ANY computer issue. You walk in with a problem and walk out with a solution… Kudos to Tony and his staff.

Eric, Autumn, and Tony were the perfect help needed to fix my wife’s Windows 10 desktop.
From now on, I know where to go to get help.

These guys are great. They are highly professional.
I took my Dell 1464 to them, all of a sudden it wouldn’t bootup. Ali took a look at my laptop and diagnosed that the power button was not working, he fixed it. I was greatly relieved. A week ago I went to another computer repair center and the guy over there told me that my mother board was dead. I came to PC Parlor only with the hope of getting data out from my hard drive, but ended up saving my laptop.
They did definitely save me from getting a new laptop, so I would rate them as cost effective as well.

This is a 5-​star review for PC Parlor, and especially Eric.
My mom fell victim to a common hoax where ultimately a ‘hacker’ was able to remotely access and control her computer. Aside from helping her turn on airplane mode and remotely change her important passwords, the situation was beyond me. The potential for an ongoing security breach was obvious, so we thought it best to bring the laptop in to an expert, who could re-​secure it and make appropriate recommendations.
But who to trust for honest advice, to not up-​sell on products or overcharge on time, to do a thorough job, and to treat my somewhat technologically challenged mother with kindness? There were so many places to choose from within a 5 mile radius, but I chose PC Parlor because of their rave reviews for the integrity and kindness of their staff, paired with their competitive rates. (When it comes to sifting through endless choices on Unilocal,I’m all about the quality over quantity of reviews!) Also, I really liked the small-​business, non-​flashy feel given off by their website and photos: D
Eric did not disappoint, and in fact wowed our expectations. I emailed them (a somewhat lengthy story) in advance, so my mom would not have to explain what happened when she got there. Eric responded promptly, and his email was warm, personal, and gave me confidence that he would be expecting my mom. My mom walked in, introduced herself, and Eric knew who she was — I can’t tell you how much of a relief this was for her, as she felt incredibly overwhelmed and helpless with the situation to begin with.
Eric explained his plan and what she should expect — in layman’s terms — and then my mom conveniently was on her way to get on with her day. He called promptly, when he said he would, explained his findings to her, and told her he fixed the problem with XYZ. Simple and stress free, problem fixed in half a day (your mileage will obviously vary with the size of your computer problem), laptop back home working worry-​free like it never happened — what a relief the whole experience was :)
My mom was so impressed by Eric’s professionalism and the outstanding service he and PC Parlor provided, that she asked me to leave a review. The best part is that she will never have to look any further for computer repair help in the future. Thanks again!

My elderly mom lives a mile away and she needed browser software installed. I found PC Parlor on Unilocal and told her to go there. Simple mission. She took a taxi there. They installed the latest version of Firefox on her 2008 windows vista laptop. I left them a v-​mail before she got there. Never needed to talk with them. They got her all straightened out to a tee and then Tony offered her a ride back home. She was so so happy that they put the shortcuts on her desktop so now she can get to her chior songs and email without effort. MISSION ACCOMPLISHED!

PC Parlor does a great and thorough job, quick too! I highly recommend going to PC Parlor for all your computer relates woes!

Eric was awesome! Came in at 1pm with a loose vid cable in my laptop, the problem was fixed by 6:30. Complete teardown of the machine and on top of it all, gave me a $ 65 discount! Definitely a business that wants to earn you as a customer. 5 stars!

Nice, reliable, fast, honest, hard working. best place to get computers fixed. They know what they are doing and do it well. I have been a few times and each time I am given the same great service. Very impressed. Thanks you, PC Parlor!

These are my go-​to guys for all computer service. They’re knowledgeable, friendly and provide fixes promptly.

PC Parlor is great! I cant say enough about these guys. I bought a very expensive computer, and it was running extremely slow due to a myriad of issues (malware, pre-​installed programs, etc.). Ali was able to get it sorted out very quickly, and it works like a charm, and at an extremely reasonable rate.
I am very happy with the great service i get here. I have used them many times in the past, and I highly recommend them.

Felt is was appropriate to come out of my near 3 year review hiatus to give a shout out to Tony, Ali, Autumn and the rest of the gang at PC Parlor.
Unexpectedly, my 2011 MacBook Pro shut down and completely stopped working. It wouldn’t even start. After taking it to the Apple Store, they ran diagnostic tests and confirmed my inkling that my hard drive was failing. The genius bar employee that helped me said there were places that do data recovery, but Apple does not provide this service. He offered to replace my hard drive, but all my files would be lost. Thus began my Unilocal search.
I found PC Parlor to have great reviews and they even offered a free quote via Unilocal so I sent them a message. Within a few hours, Tony had messaged me back with some optimistic news that they have a good track record with data recovery, as well as a reasonable price quote to provide this service. I was sold.
I took my MacBook Pro to them and was introduced to Ali, one of the computer technicians. He explained to me the process and steps he would take to attempt to recover my files, as well as possible alternatives should he not be able to. That same day, he called me back saying he was able to fully recover all of my files.
Furthermore, Ali went above and beyond saying he could replace my damaged hard drive and reinstall all my files, documents, music, and pictures. Basically, he restored my laptop as if the hard drive never failed. I had to configure some general settings and what not, but that was minor and didn’t take very long.
I highly recommend bringing your business to PC Parlor. Thank you guys!

Great place! Everyone is very nice and helpful. I’ve been here twice now and had a good experience both times. Had a hard drive that they installed go bad (not their fault) and they replaced it under warranty.
I will definitely recommend them to others.

These guys are amazing!!! Knowledgeable, efficient, they took care of my computer in a very timely and professional manner. Autumn was also awesome. This team is the best at what they do, and I couldn’t recommend them more highly. Thanks PC Parlor!

I am so happy PC Parlor was recommended to me! I would never consider going anywhere else.
I have used them several times from basic tech questions to major service needs to syncing computers from work to home. They are the best.
And I really appreciate the fact that they can be so knowledgeable yet still humble. They are able to break down the situation for me in terms that I can understand! Thank you!
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!

There is no other way to say it but, «This place is awesome!»
Here’s the story… My PC crashed. I took it in this morning at about 10:00 AM to be repaired. By 4:00 PM Corey called me, explained to me what the problem was, and said he would have it done in about an hour. I almost didn’t believe him. Me, I expected this repair would take days if not a week or more like I have experienced at other computer repair shops. I didn’t ask for expedited service or anything like that, he just got it done in a few hours. Amazing!
To describe the place, it is a very nice facility located just off of Hawthorne Blvd. in the back of a business complex. It is easy to get to and they have a lot of parking. Inside it is clean, well organized, and you can see where the techs work on their individual projects. The staff is nice and knowable. Their prices are more than fair for what they can accomplish in a short amount of time. In fact, I am typing this review on the computer they fixed right now.
Overall, though nobody wants their PC to go down, this was a great experience.
Thanks PC Parlor!

PC Parlor is knowledgeable, honest and quick. VERY HIGHLY RECOMMENDED. They are the best PC Repair place I’ve used.
I had my 5 year old high end PC torn apart doing some various upgrades/​maintenance. I’d installed a new wireless card and was seeing a new screen during the boot and booting failed.
After trying to fix the PC for half a day I decided to have someone who does this for a living fix it. I was afraid of losing all my programs (my data was 100% backed up but I didn’t want to lose all the software I’ve purchased). So, I buttoned up the partially disassembled PC and looked online for a repair shop.
PC Parlor appeared in the reviews. They were EXACTLY what I was looking for. Not only did they fix the boot problem, they found and fixed the Graphics card which was running very hot due to a stuck fan (would have cost me over $ 200 to replace), replaced a hard-​to-​reach internal chassis fan, cleaned up the SATA drive cables (5 total), and finished the installation of a 4 port motherboard to rear chassis panel I’d left unplugged when the problems started.
I’ve been involved with computers for 40 years and have built or had built 10’s of computers for myself, family and friends over the years. PC Parlor is the best repair store I’ve ever used.

My computer recently appeared to emit a burning smell that went away after a few seconds, but proceeded to work without issues. Paranoid that my machine was damaged, I decided to get it checked out. After calling about 12 repair centers, I spoke to the Corey and Eric at PC Parlor, who were very helpful. They walked through different repair scenarios over the phone and various options to save costs. What I appreciated most is that their diagnostic fee is applied to the repair, where most of the places I spoke to charged a separate repair fee on top of the diagnostic fee. Their rates were also very reasonable, so I decided to take my computer there.
It took only 10 minutes for them to determine that there was nothing wrong with my computer. The burning smell was most likely coming from a faulty power surge strip. On top of that, Tony cleaned out my computer (you won’t believe how many dust bunnies were blown out of what I thought was a clean machine) and gave me some advice on purchasing a battery backup. Since my computer seemed to be working fine, they didn’t charge me, even though they clearly spent time on it.
In this day and age, it’s rare to find an honest company that isn’t out to gouge their customers. They could have told me my PSU needed replacement or that other components in the computer were damaged. Instead, they saved me money and made my day. I will be going to PC Parlor for all my computer needs from now on.

We have been using PC Parlor for all our computer & IT needs since they opened 15 years ago. They have always been extremely responsive with incredible turn-​around times, and very reasonable pricing.
All the guys are so friendly and talk in terms that make sense to us normal folk — none of that high techy stuff! Even in those inevitable time of crisis, Tony and his crew always find a way to put our minds at ease, and get us back up and running in no time.
I couldn’t imagine going anywhere else since PC Parlor has always been our one stop computer shop!

I am the «tech-​y» among my friends and family. The one folks go to for advice on all things computer, internet, electronics, mechanical, etc. I have been into technology most all my life and have repaired, tinkered, and built a few computers in my time. So what to do when I have my own computer problems?! Take it to PC Parlor!
My computer which handled all my security cameras recently went down. It typically runs 24/​7, but then it suddenly it would not boot up. I did some initial diagnosis, but I was going out of town and just did not want to deal with it.
Eric took care of me and the entire experience was just great! Total professionalism– I had absolute confidence during my initial meeting with Eric that he would get this sorted out. Great Customer Service– they really do listen to you and recall all the details. Eric really took the time to understand my needs and goals. Awesome pricing– The pricing was really great! These guys are honest and take care of you!
In the end, my computer was fixed with a new motherboard and fan. The turn-​around time from diagnosis to repair was really quick. The only waiting was for a couple of days for the new motherboard and fan to arrive.
Their location is also easy to find with plenty of parking. They are on Madison in a business complex just across from Torrance Airport.
So in short, this «tech-​y» absolutely recommends PC Parlor with a full 5 Stars! These guys are legit and the real deal. Skilled professionals, awesome customer service, and great pricing!
