American Tech

American Tech, Inc (2280 Fulton Street, Berkeley, CA) is an A+ tech repair service. Sam (the owner) is an erudite personality and IT guru. He diagnosed and replaced my new HP Laptop failed 2-TB SSD. Yep! HP sold me a lemon SSD. It failed in only 22-months compared to my MSI Laptop that is 8-years old and still operating fine. I 100% recommend AT (Sam) for any and all computer repairs (compared to Best Buy Geek Squad). AT is affordable (lowest cost in East Bay) and you get A+ service.

I took in my laptop which was constantly blue-screening which led to it not being able to log in due to a critical process error. Pros: - Sam was able to fix the critical process error by replacing the SSD - Sam was very reasonable in offering money back for being unable to fix certain issues - The price was very cheap compared to other repair shops around Berkeley Cons: - Kept trying to replace new parts to try to fix blue screening issue to no avail, which kept raising the price, until he offered to replace the motherboard, which combined with all the other parts would essentially be the price of the laptop - A screw was missing and marks were left on the exterior of the laptop - Took over 3 months to repair laptop, with little communication throughout Overall, Sam was very knowledgeable and kind throughout the whole process. Took a very long time and couldn't fix one of my laptop's issues but was understanding and gave me some money back. Granted, after going to 2 other repair centers and calling official customer support from the manufacturer, my blue screening was still unable to be fixed, which is why I'm giving 4 stars despite my issue not being resolved. I would recommend this place to anyone looking for a cheap repair place with a non-motherboard issue, and a device that isn't brand new.

Great store with a very knowledgeable owner. Called on the phone in advance asking for a quote to replace laptop fan and gave an estimate very close to the final cost. Other stores would not do this. Well priced and it’s great that the owner offers a priority service if you pay extra. Overall great experience.

American Tech is my neighborhood computer repair store and has been a great neighbor for many years. Not only does Sam, the proprietor, repair computers, I have also been able to buy used computers there over the years. I've never had a bad experience from this shop. American Tech, Berkeley is honest, reliable, friendly, and very affordable.
