Computer Doctor

Called him because I was missing screws on my Toshiba laptop. He was super nice and fixed it right up, free of charge! Will definitely go back if I have any computer issues in the future.

Waited for a month before I posted to see how well the results are.
1÷29÷2016 My Macbook Pro early 2011 started making clicking noises for 15 minutes & finally froze — restarted twice and a folder with a question mark kept blinking. My hard drive died on me the week right before midterms around 10:30pm at night.
1÷30÷2016 Of course, I panicked. Looked up the best options in Davis and Computer Doctor popped up immediately! It was perfect because he closes at 9pm everyday for house visits except Sunday at 7pm. Next morning, I called around 9:30am to make sure he was home and dropped by in 15 minutes. Run through of the problem and we both agreed it was a hard drive most likely. $ 15 – 20 for refurnished hard drive, $ 30 for restoring if you’re a mac user or else its $ 45 – 55 ish, $ 50 or so for installing OS. He told me he could have it done by that same night.
1÷31÷2016 I didn’t hear back from him and decided to text him at noon as I was in the middle of midterms and he said he was currently installing os for me and should have it done in the evening, by tonight. I dropped by around 6:05 and I signed some papers again and paid him. He takes cash, card and check, but for card, it appears the charge is $ 3 /​:
He showed me my laptop, what he did to it and told me what to expect if anything occurs. Definitely was a hard drive failure, but he couldn’t restore my data unfortunately, good thing I have an external backup back at home in the Bay. My total was $ 73, overall, I am very thankful for Computer Doctor for being very responsive and quick to my student needs. He is definitely half the price and then some, of other companies and people! I was a little skeptical about leaving my laptop at someones home, but what could I do when I was in a time of crisis, literally the best timing ever for my hard drive to crash… But I’m glad I did leave my laptop in good hands, he’s really friendly and is honest with you about other competitors and for any other future problems that I may encounter like a cable gone wrong.
From time to time, I do get a few 2 – 3 second freezes where the rainbow wheel pops up here and there, but nothing serious. I have a lot of tabs and apps open anyways lol. Overall, my macbook pro feels quicker and I am impressed + happy with the ridiculously affordable pricing!

Computer Doctor is FANTASTIC! He was able to trouble shoot our wifi printer issues. Excellent service!

Got nasty adware on computer.
Took it to compdoc
Fixed it, and made my computer run better than it was before, even.
Works like a charm, and makes sure everything is in order,
accomodating and straight to the point.
¹⁰⁄₁₀ would do again.
Except not, because I really don’t want a virus ever again,
but you get what I mean.

The guy that runs this business is great :) he’s super helpful and very knowledgable. He knew exactly what was wrong with my computer and was able to fix it in like a day, which is great as a student since I depend on my laptop for classes. I had viruses and some missing critical files or something like that… He was also available at late night hours which was also super helpful as a student. I was so happy with how he fixed up my computer that I brought in my fiancé’s as well since his was overheating. The guy cleaned everything out, got rid of some viruses and the other laptop worked great afterwards as well.
He’s amazing, and even once I graduate I’d come back to Davis just to have this guy fix my computer.

They weren’t able to help me. Well, they could have but it would have been insanely expensive. They were very helpful and very honest. Didn’t charge me anything for the estimate.

Jamie is amazing! He was quick, efficient, and thorough. My 3 year old laptop was super slow when I brought it to him. He took the time to try a few different things and ultimately saved my data and loaded a new operating system. He detected and removed a bad virus too. What I really appreciated was that when I picked the computer up he took the time to go over everything with me, restore my data, and install all the updates so I wouldn’t have to. Super nice guy, super awesome work. Definitely recommend!

I waited a month to write a review just to make sure everything was still working fine, and with all the repairs, my laptop is AMAZING.
He was able to get my hardrive replaced, added more memory, updated to mavericks, set up time machine and backed up all my old files onto an external hardrive all in one night and for such a great price!
my computer NEVER freezes anymore and goes super fast, i feel like i just bought a new macbook even though it is 5 years old.
My sister did almost the same a week before and she is just as happy with her results
i HIGHLY recommend this place

After six reliable years, my MacBook suddenly crapped out… I THINK I did the Time Machine backup thing correctly… a few months ago. And I JUST «upgraded» my operating system… to Snow Leopard. Safe to say I haven’t had to do anything to that baby since I bought it and I really don’t pay attention to the latest and greatest. But last week I turned in on and could not get past the ominous gray screen and flashing prohibited sign. Photos, documents, music… I was a bit panicked.
I went to Unilocal and found the Computer Doctor was open at 7pm. I dropped my computer off at his home office and then ordered a new hard drive and had it shipped to Jamie. In just a couple days he had recovered all my files, installed the new hard drive, upgraded my operating system, and created an up-​to-​date backup. I honestly thought he made a typo when he gave me my bill… his prices are ridiculously reasonable. He is easy to get in touch with by phone, text, or email. Jamie turned a super crummy situation into a minor glitch in my week. I will go to him for any future computer problems I ever have and highly recommend him. Lifesaver!

Jamie is awesome. Not only he was able to diagnose my laptop’s problem over the phone, but he was also able to beat the local computer shop’s estimate by over 50% to fix the identical problem.
Highly recommended!

nicest guy on the planet! needed a power cable that i forgot at home and he didn’t even charge me d^^b. if i ever have a problem, i’d probably go to this guy

Our computers went down about a year ago so I went searching for a computer repair shop. I have found that computer repairs can be costly so I was pretty thorough in my search for someone that wouldn’t charge us an arm and a leg… I was very fortunate to have found Jamie. His knowledge of computers are awesome. He is professional and courteous as well. Our computers, laptops have never been with him long because he fixes them quickly and his prices are completely reasonable.
In a world where technology rules it is imperative you have someone like Jamie — we’re so glad we found him and will continue to go to him for our high-​tech needs :)

This guy is great!!! He’s very honest and fast! Very knowledgable!

i almost hesitate to write this review as to blow the secret. but he’s AMAZING. this is a man who will completely fix a computer that’s worth fixing for less than half of what other big repair offices will– upgrade your ram for $ 10, swipe your hard drive for $ 40 or so, it’s unbelievable. i go to him regularly and places like «no data, no charge» in sacramento make me laugh because they’d do the same things for $ 150 or $ 200. HAHA. just DONT go to anyone else ever. geek squad will take your wallet before this man completely replaces your hard drive for $ 50. you will not need to bring any peripherals he has all of them already.
now, the one drawback. it can be a bit tricky dropping off your machine and picking it up– he works at home, which means that that this is not a warehouse with automated customer service and people who are on the clock to answer your calls from 9am to 7pm, etc. other than that, there is no reason to take your pc anywhere else (he has a mac guy, but i haven’t had need yet).
he is honest, resourceful and nice. i’ve had a terrabyte or so of personal data before and i was initially hesitant with it, but i saw for myself that i needn’t be.

This past weekend my laptop got a nasty virus, and I found the computer doctor, Jaime online. He provided excellent service, with his expertise, and extensive computer problem solving knowledge.
Within a few hours, he had my computer up and running! No lost data.
Service, professionalism, and great prices!
I will definitely be going back to the Computer Doctor!

I’m not the greatest with computers, but I know when there is a problem. My computer had been making loud humming noises for awhile; when I finally got around to fixing it… I decided to go to the Davis Computer Doctor.
Once I got there, he immediately had solutions to my problem. He blew out my laptop with a professional blower and uploaded software onto my computer, which I did not have before. He was VERY knowledgeable and friendly.
He charges $ 70/​hr, but since I was only there for 15 mins, it was $ 17. All in all it was a very good experience and I would highly recommend anyone to see him if they have any computer problems.
FYI. He runs his business out of his home, so look for the sign on the mailbox. Call ahead for an appointment.
