It does not matter what kind of problem I have on my windows PC, Daniel will be able to fix it and is always reachable even weekends. I would not even think of switching to another computer expert. His rates are fair and reasonable. Thank you Daniel! read less Barbara S.11/23/2015I called Dan out of the blue from a google ad, not expecting much.

I am a tech and computer person and i do most of the support for my family and close friends. it is a rare day that i have to call anyone for computer help. If i do, it is usually for hardware related issues. So the first time i had a mini emergency, i gave Dan a call. He picked up on the first ring and asked for my address and literally showed up 10 minutes later. He was quiet and soft spoken. Asked for the details of the problem. listened, gave me a quick answer, got on the computer and solved it. charged me a super reasonable fee and then quietly left. He called me the next day to check up and this impossible problem, i had, he solved in 10 min. Money well spent and highly recommend his services. read less

He went on to recommend a competitor--and that competitor was able to solve my problem.
You rock, Dan. Your honesty and faith in a world of abundance by sending a Macys customer to Gimbles is a blessing. Thank you. read less Chuck M.5/02/2021I have been using Dan for quite some time now. Dan actually built me a desktop which I... read moreI have been using Dan for quite some time now. Dan actually built me a desktop which I just love! He did an awesome job. He is so dedicated to his work and I admire that in him. I would not let anyone else work on our computers as this is how much my husband and I trust him. Dan continues to further his education in computers and software and that makes him more valuable in my humble opinion. Hire Dan for all your computer needs as you will not be sorry you did. read less Kathy F.3/25/2014 - Very helpful and honest services.

I'm fairly proficient with PCs, but my new setup uses both new hardware and new software to me, and he was able to talk me through the process, even though it sounded like the specific issue was fairly obscure.
Bottom line, if you have a problem, and no one else can help, and if you can find him (not difficult, you're on Google), maybe you can hire, The West LA Computer Expert.... read less Chaim Forty-Two (TheChaim42)9/10/2020I called him and less than 30 minutes he was saving my life.

I ended up going to the first computer shop that I saw and they said that my hard drive was bad and in order to get the data transferred, it would cost close to $200! I was close to paying up until I called Dan.
Dan, 100%, is so genuine and truly is an expert. I called around 15 places, all of them could not compare to the cost Dan was offering for the same services. Since my drive was bad, it was not even a guarantee I could get all my data back and he went through NUMEROUS procedures to extract the data, I mean A LOT because he knew it concerned me if I could not get the data back. AND he was able to transfer mostly all of it! Most transfers are pretty small.. mine was a transfer of over 250 gb! It took a long time and he still managed to take the time to go through every process that sometimes took days just to extract the data or cover all possible options!
I always worry about going to 'experts' about problems like this where I may be played like a fool, and so I was very iffy about getting this fixed, even backing out a few times. Dan was nothing but patient and understanding. He held my laptop to do work above and beyond what I asked or even payed for, and still contacted me about 3+ times a day to check up and let me know what was going on even if nothing changed just to calm my nerves.
He explained every little detail and process to me, and even recommended me to other companies that may do work for me that he wouldn't be able to do (which I ended up not even needing). I could not get some of my third party programs on to the new drive and he even introduced and downloaded replica programs that were free for me which was AMAZING.
He genuinely was a great and friendly person to talk to, often asking questions and seemed genuinely interested without trying to make regular business small talk you hear big companies try to do. I could not have had this process go better, something I was seriously terrified of doing. Every other company in West LA did not care about anything but the money. This guy was amazing. Trust me. Trust him. read less Shea B.4/30/2019After a week of frustration with both Microsoft and Lenovo tech support, I did the wise thing and called Dan... read moreAfter a week of frustration with both Microsoft and Lenovo tech support, I did the wise thing and called Dan Zivetz the West L.A. Computer Expert. He had my problem (exporting and importing important emails from Outlook 2007 to 2016) solved in an hour. I can now breathe easier thanks to Dan. Highly, highly recommended. You'll be glad you called him. I certainly am. read less Darin R.4/30/2018
