Both locations have positive reviews, so I called to see how much they charge and what warantee they offer. They both charge $50/hour. That is the only similarity between these two places. Computer Professionals "could add an anti-virus program" if I wanted (they didn't sound enthusiastic), they wouldn't cover any future problems. I could additionally "bring it in a couple of weeks after the fix to make sure nothing's wrong, but if something happens two months out, then I could bring it back and they would fix it again" at an additional charge. Furthermore, it was Friday afternoon. I could drop off my laptop and they could look at it on Monday.

Dan at West LA Computer Fix was a completely different experience. After speaking with him, he explained that he would gladly put on two spyware programs free of charge and guarantee them for a year at no extra cost. And if I had problems at any point related to viruses, all I had to do was call him, and he'd check my computer for free. Additionally, the fact that it was Friday afternoon was no problem. He was actually making a house computer call somewhere else but would be back in the area at 5:30 and he could look at my computer right away. That worked fine with me! In fact, after dropping off my laptop, he called me at 7:30 to tell me the problem was resolved, the new software was on, and it was ready for pick up.

I picked it up the next day, and he showed me the software and how to manually update it (since it's the free version), and I am happy to report that I have had no problems with my computer! I'm pretty sure Dan works all around the Valley and he told me that he usually goes to the client - it's rare that someone drops off the laptop like I did. He is dedicated to customer service and he really wants to fix your computer - he has no interest in upselling, or forcing programs or fixes that are not required.

After countless trips and multiple hours at Best Buy, I decided that the Geek Squad was simply not able to... read more fix the computer which I bought from them!! No, I did not buy the up sell policy, so they simply sent it back to the manufacturer.

As they said, "If You Didn't Buy the Laptop Protection, We Can't Help You!!" I parked myself in line for three hours and refused to leave until Best Buy did the right thing, REFUND MY MONEY!!! Finally they did! I took the money and ran, never to return to Best Buy again.  

Than I met Dan from West LA Computer Expert. First, he talked me down off the ledge where I was ready to toss my computer!! He showed me a variety of great deals online, from his preferred vendors, that fit my budget. He managed to find a laptop which suited my needs, including Bluetooth to run all my external devices, touch screen, durable, and small enough to travel yet still use without a microscope! He was patient, knowledgeable, had the tools, and resources to find the perfect laptop to fit my needs!  He reinstalled all my apps and added a few which I needed, but didn't know existed. But wait,...Than he went the extra mile. He suggested that I buy and install a SSD (Solid State Drive). He found one online, that suited my needs, cloned my existing Hard drive and installed the SSD!!

My laptop has never run quicker, smoother, no stalls, all updates completed and I'm back on the internet, with flawless application!

My Hats off to Dan at West LA Computer Expert!  First Class Job Dan, you will forever have my business!! A+++++

No, I did not buy the up sell policy, so they simply sent it back to the manufacturer. The manufacturer replaced my hard drive three times and the laptop was still not working right, no bios updates, no updates to windows, no updates to drivers, you would think the Geek Squad would help me with this as they represent the manufacturer, but NO!!! As they said, "If You Didn't Buy the Laptop Protection, We Can't Help You!!" I parked myself in line for three hours and refused to leave until Best Buy did the right thing, REFUND MY MONEY!!! Finally they did! I took the money and ran, never to return to Best Buy again.  

Than I met Dan from West LA Computer Expert. First, he talked me down off the ledge where I was ready to toss my computer!! He showed me a variety of great deals online, from his preferred vendors, that fit my budget. He managed to find a laptop which suited my needs, including Bluetooth to run all my external devices, touch screen, durable, and small enough to travel yet still use without a microscope! He was patient, knowledgeable, had the tools, and resources to find the perfect laptop to fit my needs!  He reinstalled all my apps and added a few which I needed, but didn't know existed. But wait,...Than he went the extra mile. He suggested that I buy and install a SSD (Solid State Drive). He found one online, that suited my needs, cloned my existing Hard drive and installed the SSD!!

My laptop has never run quicker, smoother, no stalls, all updates completed and I'm back on the internet, with flawless application!

My Hats off to Dan at West LA Computer Expert!  First Class Job Dan, you will forever have my business!! A+++++

And I almost forgot, he also reconfigured my old backup laptop and got that running also, whereas it was just a paper weight for several months. Now I have two working laptops thanks to Dan!! read less

I had been having a problem with Time Warners Wifi here in Westchester for sometime. Time Warner just told me... read more to by network extenders for all my rooms. 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
