You just don't find that kind of service anymore - genuinely nice guy that's very rare these days. Highly recommended! read less

With a new PC, I've both had it just not turn on and randomly shut off, and I also wanted to install a new HDD. Both times I called Dan. He was quite kind and patient with all my dumb questions and ignorance. He's also very reasonably priced. I'll definitely call him with my future computer needs. read less

Had been experiencing a seemingly complicated non-functioning phone connection for almost three weeks. Several otherwise competent technicians, each spending several hours attempting to solve this issue, were unsuccessful. Daniel was the only one who -- in less than half an hour -- figured out what wires needed to be untangled and plugged in correctly and now my phone is working like a charm.
Thank you, Daniel! read less

I am a bookkeeper in the middle of tax season with a Type A personality so as you can imagine, I freaked out. I didn't have a computer person at the time and started posting and calling, looking for help. I decided to take a chance and call Dan Zivetz at 11:30 on a Saturday night. And much to my surprise he answered. He calmed me down and came over the next day, removed the software causing the problems, removed other unnecessary programs and installed some new programs to protect my computer which is where my entire business resides. He also diagnosed another problem that needed to be repaired involving hardware.
Thank God, he got me up and running then walked me through a few more items on the phone the next day. I highly recommend him! He was smart, knowledgeable and available to help. read less

I new this was ridiculous as we just moved 4 years ago from a 3000+ sq ft home in Culver City and never had a problem. We downsized to a 2100 sq ft single story home and they changed our equipment to "newer equipment". I finally got fed up when my new Ring Doorbell was not working properly. I found a "Angie's List" Deal With W LA Computer Expert Dan and he is GOOD! Dan came out and we called Time Warner and he took ever and dealt with them directly about their equipment and its capabilities. At first they denied and then the equipment mgr. acknowledged that the modems are not AC compatible. So from there I decided to purchase my own equipment on Dan's advise and when it arrived he came out and he installed everything and checked the health of my laptop and computer as well. I highly recommend West LA Computer Expert "Dan" he is very easy to work with and understand. He has great patients with us technically challenged as well 🙂 read less

On Valentines Day afternoon no less, I had a 5-alarm laptop emergency when Windows 10 crashed and would not boot up no matter what I would do!

My very critical and confidential data was not backed up!

I have never had this type of problem with a computer before and I have been working with computers since Cobol IBM card compiler systems. I owned one of the first Windows 95 laptops in the day very few people owned a laptop, let alone a computer.

Worse, the electronic address of this laptop has security clearance so I cannot just borrow a laptop--only that laptop will get me into the database to work and it would take 7-10 days to get clearance on another one and a lot of explaining.

So what do you do in this situation? I immediately went on YELP and searched, "Immediate Laptop Repair."

I called Dan and he actually answered the phone on Sunday Valentine's Day 4 pm! I told him what the problem was and he said, "Come on over."

I responded: "What?!, come on over where on a Sunday evening? You are in your shop? You have time on Valentine's Day to deal with this? Is this going to create problems with your significant other?"

Dan replied, "don't worry about it now--just come over to my house--you have an emergency."

I raced on over to Dan's house with light's and siren blaring.

He got right on it while I was there watching. Unfortunately, the HDD drive was corrupted his diagnostics determined. Dan was going to need to do emergency surgery on the Hard Drive, but he wanted to get into the drive and backup all my valuable and confidential data first just in case. He offered to back it up to a drive he had on hand, but I could not allow that with this data so he had me run out to Best Buy just 2 miles from his place and he gave me the name of a 1 TB drive to buy that I will now own and do regular backups on.

When I got back from Best Buy with the 1TB back-up drive he went to work again on the computer at 7 PM on Valentine's Day.

I left him with the Laptop at 7.30 pm and raced to my own Valentine's Day dinner before I would need my head backed up. He called me at 11.30 pm to let me know that he successfully located and saved my data on the 1 TB backup drive (I was so relieved!) but that he is going to need more time to repair the laptop drive, if it can be repaired, and reinstall the data. He texted me at 2:45 am to give me a list of data recovered and make sure that I was not missing any other data.

He called me late Monday morning to give me a status report and again in the afternoon to let me know that it was fixed and ready for pickup.

He transferred all my data back onto the Laptop and gave me the 1 TB backup drive back still containing my data just in case.

The laptop has been working fine for the week afterwards, and in fact Outlook is not buggy anymore (It used to not display some of my appointments at random--Microsoft looked at it a few months ago and could not figure out a solution.) I also took this opportunity to clean up the cluttered Desktop.

Dan gave me some helpful suggestions for backing up the computer as well as purchasing a new one if I was so inclined.

His charges for this service were reasonable and I would return to him if I had more computer problems or if I wanted to replace a drive or upgrade a computer or reinstall software. He told me that he also builds computers but does not work on Apple computers.

Dan is a non-smoker and has a pleasant welcoming personality and was able to stay calm and focused dealing with a stressed-out, aggravated client (me).

He called me with status reports exactly when he said he would. I really appreciated that level of responsibility you don't see very often in other businesses.

I recommend his Windows computer services to anyone that needs them--even on Valentine's Day. read less

In addition to recently installing a solid state hard drive to replace my old spinning one, he performed some updates and and did a complete software/hardware maintenance check -- at no additional charge.

Dan has also referred me to other really good techs when my needs have been outside the scope of his expertise (network maintenance and expansion).

I highly recommend Dan. read less
