Computer Repair In Thousand Oaks

One of the common google searches in our area is Computer Repair In Thousand Oaks near me. It produces many results. But how do you know which one to choose.

Few common factors you want to consider when choosing a competent computer repair in Thousand Oaks are these:

1. How fast will your device be fixed?

Most computer shops in Thousand Oaks are so inexperienced they can’t tell you how long it will take to fix something. They will tell they have to look at it first. Or they don’t know how long it will take.

And while with some repairs, like “water damage repair” it may be difficult to predict how long it will take. In most cases even that shouldn’t take more that 3-4 days to repair. While for the most repairs it shouldn’t take more than a day. unless maybe some parts have to be ordered, which then may take 3-4 days to receive them also.

However most shops don’t know, nor can give you an answer because they simply are not good at fixing things, because they are either new or don’t have proper expertise to know how most laptops are built in order to give you a straight answer.

At Fastest Mac Repair and Pc Repair Newbury Park, you will get an answer as soon as you call and give us the details of your issue. You will get an answer how long it will take to fix within minutes. Or in some cases you will be told we need to see the device in order to give you a quote and time frame. no messing around here

We also carry most of the common parts in stock and only in certain cases do we have to order parts that need to be shipped. Most computers and macbooks are fixed in few hours or the next day.

2. How much does it cost to fix my mac or PC or an iPhone?

Again, what many shops will do, mainly due to lack of experience or some other shady tactics. They will tell you they need to see the device in order to give you a quote, because they want you to come into their place of business. And once you are there they will make it look like they are looking it up and then give you a quote with the hopes that you will not go anywhere else since you already have gone through the troubles of getting here. You will be reluctant to go look for other competitive options.

In reality, only less than 3% of devices need actually to be looked at, before you can give a person a quote on how much it will cost to fix them. That includes pc laptops that have physical damage, especially when the hinge breaks and it is hard to tell over the phone what is actually broken.

But in 97% of cases when you call Fastest Mac Repair and Pc Repair Newbury park, we will give you a quote over the phone in less than 2 minutes. With experience we JUST KNOW, most of devices and the cost of fixing them. There is no hesitation and no beating around the bush of any kind!

And plus we carry most of the parts on site also.

most other shops will take their time or make up all kinds of excuses on why they need to see your device in order to give you a quote. But that is just a lack of experience. In 97% of cases you don’t need to see anything in order to give a price for a computer repair!

3. Should I go to Geek Squad To Repair My Device Or A Local Shop

Often people get sold on the idea of going to a big name/brand store because they “trust” them better because that is what the advertising on television told them.

In many other industries that is a great choice. Because big brands have figured out distribution, products, customer service, warranties and other things very well. However this is not the case for computer repair, especially.

In fact big name brand stores like Geek Squad, struggle quite a bit with finding great repair technicians. Because there aren’t many of them available. Because those who are really great for most part don’t want to go work for a store with set hours for a meager hourly rate. When they know they can open their own little business get a customer and make the same money in couple hours. Instead of standing all day behind the counter all day!

That is why the repairs geek squad can do are very limited. They can only fix some basic software issues on site. Even then, they take way too long, because people they employ are often not experienced who are forced to follows cookie cutter instructions and aren’t allowed to think on their feet, which is what required in most cases when fixing phones and computers.

This is why geek squad doesn’t fix mac computers. They send them out to Apple. And most PC repairs are being sent out to their repair center in Kansas. Because the repair techs they hire also don’t know how to fix things on site for the lack of experience and other bureaucracy issues.

To sum up, if you want your device to be fixed fast and properly. Geek Squad is definitely a bad choice. People working there are usually inexperienced and are not very motivated to do things fast or whatever serves customer best. They are trained to sell you a two year service more than anything!

4. 20 year old Computer Repair in Thousand Oaks business means nothing

Many computer repair shops pride themselves on being in business 20 years in order to impress you that supposedly they know something about computer repair business.

In fact, we just had one guy call us offering to buy his customer list after being in business for 20 years. he was closing the doors cause he couldn’t afford to pay rent. Yet he thinks his customer list was worth a sizeable sum of money!

The problem with guys like these is that they don’t really keep up with the technology after being 20 years in computer repair business. They still operate as if they are living in the 1990s, while technology is passing right by them at the speed of light.

They usually are slow to adapt, will take your computer or an imac (assuming they even know how to work on imacs) and sit on it for days telling you they are looking for a problem, when in reality they are simply not able to keep up with the progress in tech and are falling far behind on everything.

While the fundamentals inside the computers are still the same. There are many details that are always being implemented into new devices in order to make them slimmer, slicker, lighter, smaller and faster.

And if you are sitting on one device for 2 days, I can’t imagine you are learning much keeping up with the new trends. Not surprisingly, later we found out just in 4 years of being in business at this location. We are doing 4 times amount of business than the guy who was in business over 20 years.

This is probably one of those cases where the tortoise doesn’t win the race. If you don’t keep up, you get left behind quickly here. Apple innovates rapidly. PC market is copying apple and is not that far behind. Things change quickly. You have to stay on top of things otherwise you get left behind and can’t afford to pay rent on your location.

I’m proud to say Fastest Mac Repair And Pc Repair Newbury Park has crossed a 5 year mark at this location this August and we are going strong, because we keep up with innovations, do things fast (the fastest) and provide best (NO BS) customer service in the area!
