Been coming here for several years and have 100%+++ confidence in John and his staff..They are honest, decent, customer oriented and so efficient. Wife and I last year bought refurbished desktops which we are thrilled with..everything was saved and transferred from our old. Recently had some small problems with 1 of the desktops as well as a laptop and John did an outstanding job in repairing.His prices are super fair as well and turn around time amazingly fast.Total recommendation for all your computer needs.

Probably one of the last mom and pop computer stores in riverside. The man running this store is extremely helpful kind and genuine. Really affordable and fast service highly recommended! Why waste your time trying to fix your own computer for months when you can come here and get it fixed in a day!

My son and I decided to build a gaming PC for him and during the build we realized we did not have enough fan ports on the motherboard. We called them up and asked if they had a fan splitter. He did not think he had one so we kept looking. We received a phone call from him almost immediately when he found one. This part was only 8 dollars but he went out of his way to make sure we had it. This was the reason that when we finished building the PC and it didnt work (because i dont know what Im doing) I brought it to him. Not only did he get it running but he also loaded windows for me and he charged me way less than I was expecting.

I 100% recommend this place. Human computer had my laptop working in one day! Hes professional and genuine. You can tell this is something he loves doing and isnt just trying to get over on someone. If your looking for repairs come here a place you can actually trust!

Review №11

Probably the best thing you can experience at a service/repair shop of any kind is getting genuinely good advice from a knowledgeable owner or employee WITHOUT them trying to sell you something. The man does great work, and helped me out with another issue with instructions on what I could do about it myself rather than paying extra. Will definitely be going back for any future computer troubles, cant recommend enough!

John was super helpful and super honest. These days that’s so hard to come by. He reset my settings on my broken computer and let know to just purchase a monitor since my desktop was fried. He saved me a good $500 which geek squad and HP were both charging me an arm, a leg plus my soul for something that isn’t even worth it. Thanks for looking out John.

I have worked with more than a few computer stores and techs. I use to own a large electronics business, we had more than a hundred computers and a large network to support it along with our own in-house tech support who was very experienced. But I have to say that Human Computers is my new computer store. John was very fast, courteous and knowledgeable. He know his stuff. I had a major problem, a person hacked my computer delegated all my passwords and took control of my computer. Ever other computer store said that they would have to delete all my files and wipe the computer before reinstalling windows. I had 4 years of business files that I could not loose. He was able to fix the problem in just a few hours in the same day. Thanks John you’re the best.

I took my iMac 27 2013 in for repair. It was running like a slug. Over a two week span, my computer got slower and slower until every little task would take a long time. The little spinning wheel just kept spinning! I used my disk utility and did everything I was supposed to with no luck. Apple has everything shut down so I couldnt take it to Apple. I was very lucky to hear about Human Computer. My computer was repaired and updated with a solid state hard drive. My Mac runs like a Jet !Thank you John for your great and prompt service! I would recommend the Human Computer to anybody looking for good and honest service.

This place is great! I needed an older processor in order to update the BIOS on my board which was not compatible with the latest processor without the update. They sold me an older cpu to use and then I was able to return it when I was done. It was a good price and I would definitely recommend this company to anyone with computer needs.

I was happy with the service and help they provided for me. I came in with my MacBook having a problem with not turning on and was worried that I had to get a new MacBook. I bought MacBook charger block from them a while back and exchanged my old block with a new block for free. They helped me solved my solution quickly and didn’t charge me at all. Thankful for their assistance and will be back for sure if there are any issues about technology!

My computer stopped getting power after changing my motherboard and case so I called the shop and took it in. They solved the problem within the hour and gave advice on what parts to get for my computer later on. If you have any computer issues definitely call this shop I guarantee they are the best in the area.

The must go to stop shop for all your computer necessities. I must admit I was neverous to have someone else build my first computer, but wow. The job of perfection Human Computer did is unspeakable. My pc runs very quiet and better than expected. Must give credit to the owner who is very nice and hardworking.

I’m not big on reviews but if any company deserves a five star review it is Human Computer. This is the only place I’d recommend for computer / tech repair. John is brilliant and seems to be able to fix anything. He is extremely honest and completely transparent throughout the repair process so there are no surprises when it comes time to pay your tab.

I have worked with them 3 times now. The first time he put a new hard drive in an old laptop. The second two times I went in with a laptop that wouldnt start. Both times I had really big projects for clients due and they got to my laptop right away and fixed it for me.Their service and the prices are great. I have a lot of faith in what he tells me. He is a trusted service provider. I wont hesitate to go back again if I need help with my computer again.

Review №52

I took in my desktop that kept freezing. I thought it might be a power supply issue but when I took it in but John thought it was a defective video card. He removed the card and it seemed to work fine until I took it home. Long story short, it ended up being the keyboard. It was the last thing that anyone would look at. John provided me with an old keyboard that worked and when I offered to pay for his time he politely declined me paying for his time and even the old keyboard. He may not have made any money from me that day but he will definitely get an opportunity to earn it back the next time I have a computer issue. I now trust him for being honest and will use him again and again. thank you.

I love this place. I will never buy a computer or phone from anyone else. John and Mike were extremely helpful and patient. Much more affordable than best buy!I recently bought a used phone from here and it turns out that not all of the screen sensors worked. I called the shop and the same day they replaced it with a brand new phone and I love this phone. The service was great and both John and Mike were understanding and accommodating!

I use my computer every day for work, so being without it for even a short time is extremely stressful. Human Computer was recommended to me by a friend and I gave them a try. I am so impressed! A 24 hour turn-around time! I have my computer back and I am at my desk, back to work. AND I was charged the lowest amount I had been quoted over the phone in my initial call. Seriously, how often does that happen?! Thank you from the bottom of my heart!

I recently suffered major water damage to a laptop that I use every day for work. I was referred to take my laptop in to Human Computer and BOY am I glad I was. John is my savior! He was able to recover all of my information off my old hard drive and transport in to my newest computer and it was like nothing had ever happened. He was so kind to even supply me with an extra hard drive back up in case I have another accident in the future. Im so grateful for his services and have already referred him to a friend of mine.Thank you John and Human Computer!

John said, Lets take a look at your computer. We went to the back where he worked on it for about 7 to 10 minutes. He let me know, Well, your computer kind of works. You could take it home and it looks like it will run. But, if you want, you can keep it here and Ill investigate it more. No charge for the work Ive just done.

Small businesss survive with great customer service. John Lim, owner of Human Computer, knows all about customer service. I purchased a referb laptop for my wife from John several months ago. An issue developed with the CD drive and I brought it back. As soon as I walked in John greeted me by my first name, shook hands, asked about my work, and then asked whats up. Made me feel like Ive known him for years. He took care of the problem right away with no charge. He knows that I will be coming back for my next computer purchase. And I know that I will.

5.0 star rating 1/25/2017I have been a customer of Human Computer for years. Their customer service has more than earned my loyalty. Their prices are very reasonable, customer service is professional and personable, and they have NEVER let me down!Most recently, my hard drive on my laptop crashed and it seemed that there was no way to retrieve the files.

John convinced me several months ago to NOT pay him to transfer my files to a new computer and helped me find the way to do it myself. This month he did a quick turnaround pulling my hard drive from a problematic lap top and transferring my .pst files to a new computer. I have always gotten straight answers, sound counsel and effective troubleshooting and repairs at Human Computer.
