You First Tech

Quick to solve problems. I will call him every time.

Steve is a nice guy. May be my issue and situation were not the right thing at the right time. May be I did not have the necessary equipment to fix the home network. He left the network in worse condition than I had it before. But for sure he is expensive. Make sure you know how much he will charge you and how long it will take him to fix or install your network.

Our office computers took a crash and the tech support we were getting at the time was terrible. Finally we found Steve through Unilocal and asked him to come over and take a look. He was very knowledgeable and had a great personality. Scroll forward… we have 6 new computers and are all cleaned up and running fantastically. Thanks Steve

Wow! Thank you Steve. Amazing. Some nasty arabic yahoo virus on my MAC has taken me DAYS to try to fix, he fixed overnight.
I am MOST impressed. Also afraid he will get too busy as I have many friends with technical problems.
Steve, remember me when…

Based on these reviews, I asked Steve to help me transition from PC to Mac. He transferred my files, installed programs, and gave me all kinds of advice and tips (not sure I’ll remember them all!) Steve seemed to know everything about both systems. I recommend him highly.

I have been going to Steve these past few years for my IT woes and he has never let me down.
His primary business focus is customer satisfaction and what he can do to quickly and best resolve your computing problems.
I recently lost my automotive mechanic, who I implicitly trusted, and feel insecure about taking my vehicle elsewhere.
I would feel the same if Steve were to leave.
I have complete trust in this man.
If you are here looking for an ethical, knowledgeable, reliable and trustworthy IT tech, look no further.
You the man, Steve!

I found Steve here on Unilocal.He is knowledgeable and full of good advice. He is also personable, fast and affordable. What more could you possibly want? If you have a computer problem, don’t delay and give him a call. He also does Apple.

Steve was AWESOME! I took my computer to another repair shop in Torrance and they told my all my files were lost after receiving a error of «hard drvie failure». Upon receiving my computer back I did a search and was able to see files that were still on the harddrive. I called Steve and schedule a time for him to come by. Steve was able to find all my files and transfer them to a backup drive. THANK YOU STEVE!!! Never take for granted what one company tells you. Will be calling Steve to come back to set up a few more things for my home and business. Thanks again Steve!

5÷30÷15 Once again Steve came to our rescue. Previously, he replaced our old computer with our new laptop. This time he replaced the keyboard with a standard keyboard and utilized our old, larger monitor. Also used the old mouse. So much easier to use! My wife loves it. For us non-​tech people, you do a valuable service.
Thanks again, Steve.

Steve was prompt, very reasonable with fees, great communication easy to understand. Did fantastic job of with removing my computer of viruses. Very nice and polite guy. Thanks so much

Great job by Steve! He provided same day service, dealt with 3 different computers and wireless printing issues we were having so we could get back on track with the homework assignments. We will use his service again.

Every critical life lesson I have learned has been spoon-​fed to me through the wonder of the Hollywood screen. Want to win the big game? You better find yourself a ragtag bunch of underdogs. Want to get the girl? Creepy stalker moves like showing up uninvited and making huge, awkward professions of infatuation work every time. Need a good computer super genius? They better be a lone wolf that works their magic in a solitary lab you will never see. A real guru doesn’t show you the goods. Sorry, but that’s just science. Your digital Sherpa also better not have a corporate clock to punch. Yoda didn’t have a polo shirt with a multi-​national insignia on it for good reason; he wasn’t «The Man’s» lap dog.
Now, initially I was dubious. From the aforementioned movietime wisdom, I know that any great computer wiz is also a hygienically-​challenged, misanthropic recluse who can’t get through a conversation without condescension. Steve runs wholly counter to that. He was very nice while taking the time needed to explain (and, if I’m honest, re-​explain) all the answers to our questions. He also gave us extremely reasonable rates despite the fact that he obviously knew we were in a serious bind.
After an intense 24 hours and, I assume, an 80’s style movie hero montage, we had our laptop back and good as new. He didn’t treat our bank account like Sasha Grey in a locker room. He didn’t talk to me like I have the IQ of a not particularly bright goat (You know the goat I’m talking about. Always eating clothes or getting its head stuck in the fence. I hate that goat). He didn’t even leave Cheetos crumbs in the nooks and crannies of my keyboard. He just fixed everything quickly for a good price while being a really nice guy.
Forget the people on the «Squad». Steve is your guy.

Steve is a pro; knows his business, is efficient yet takes the time to answer any questions, explain technical concepts, in an understandable manner. What a find…

My computer wouldn’t boot, just beeped. A little research indicated it was a bad video card. I did a little troubleshooting, but didn’t want to spend any more time on it. Even though I have CS&E degree, I don’t have much patience to mess with hardware anymore. I contacted Steve and dropped off the computer. He got back to me promptly with a very reasonable quote and I authorized the work. Once the card came in, he installed and tested it. Steve is very professional and he made it very easy. I’d definitely recommend him to friends.

Steve is AMAZING!
He returned my call promptly, arrived at the agreed upon time (Saturday hours, no less … and even offered to arrive earlier than he had originally scheduled … AMAZING!!!)), and was exceptionally well-​qualified and able to transition us from the old to the new system in a very reasonable amount of time.
He has excellent interpersonal skills, is efficient with his time, and cognizant of providing outstanding service through his masterful delivery of clear and concise answers from non-​techie types.
HE IS NOW OUR GO-​TO TECH FOR HOME COMPUTING!!! You won’t go wrong hiring him!!!

Steve B. is EVERYTHING GOOD everyone else said about him in Unilocal reviews.
You want HELP? You First Tech on Unilocal is the answer. Read on…
ESPECIALLY FOR SENIORS:
Steve is sharp, knowledgeable and NOT arrogant or impatient; he does NOT
take over the computer and do things while leaving you in the dark!
He explains what he’s doing clearly and in «lay» terms. He is patient — he doesn’t
sigh in exasperation with my «Huh?» questions! He goes out of his way to be helpful. He’s fair and reasonable in his pricing. He is on time and I live a long way away. If traffic delays are encountered, he will call. AND, most importantly, he keeps his client files so organized that I can call him two years after his last visit and he can tell me all the passwords I forgot I ever used!

After I left my computer within reach of my two year old, I came back to find my screen was black with error messages on it. I tried powered it off and on but it just wouldn’t boot. I was devastated! The thought of possibly losing all my family pictures terrified me because I did not have a back up.
I knew I had to find the most capable computer repair guy if there was any chance at recovering my data.
Thanks to Unilocal I found Steve. Steve is very knowledgable, personable, very customer service oriented, an excellent communicator and an all around nice guy. He explained to me what happened and why a two year old caused so much damage to my computer; all in a way I could understand.
After I gave him my computer he called me back within an hour to give me the diagnosis. He also emailed me the options available to repair my computer and what I could do to possibly salvage the data on my damaged hard drive. Two days later my computer was ready for pick up and Steve advised me to get an external hard drive to back up my data.
I’m grateful to my fellow Unilocalers for helping me find Steve. I am very happy and satisfied with his work and his very affordable prices. It was a great experience. I highly recommend him to anyone needing his services. I am a customer for life.

Wifi in the house went down and we set an appointment for the Geek Squad to come out for $ 200. The Geek Squad then pushed our appointment another week, so we sought other help. Glad we did!
I found «You First Tech» on Unilocal and we left a message for Steve. He called back in 5 minutes, came out that day at his $ 70 an hour rate. It turned out our Aiport Express Base Station needed to be completely re-​setup, so he ended up fixing the Wifi in the first hour. We ended up keeping him for 3 hours total and having him fix every little issue we had on the computer, printer, etc. Each time we were about to go into another hour, he let us know and made sure it was ok. He was extremely nice, very user friendly, and even left us a document on the computer on how to fix the wifi in case anything like this happened again.
Overall a great experience, much cheaper and easier to reach than the Geed Squad. Nothing felt better than canceling that appointment and telling them to hit road. We are using «You First Tech» from now on and recommending them to all other neighbors.

I was hopeful when I saw the 5 stars on Unilocal,but then after dealing with the individual that answered the phone, all I can say is, why!!!
Called in and asked if they were able to help setup an IP camera at my location, and what would the price be. All the guy could tell me was 70 an hour. minimum 1 hour. «So have you guys setup ip cameras before and what is the usual charge» ?? Oh and this is before I get put on hold for over 5 minutes
Yes, but I can’t tell you, and I’m not sure. Really!!! you call yourself tech Savvy and you can’t tell me how much or how long to set an IP camera up?
Finally I received a price, 140… Are you kidding me… You guys suck!

WHY is it «such a breath of fresh air» to find someone who does exactly what is promised, quickly and charges a reasonable price?
Steve resolved my issues with my Mac Mini in a few hours, returned it to me at home and re-​connected it to be sure it was completely «healthy» again. Steve is personable, has a wealth of knowledge and a great sense of humor. I’m not surprised Steve has all ***** stars.
I found him here (thank you Unilocal.)
