The store technician, Kassi, gave me over an hour of personal time to figure out my problems and help to streamline my computer. She was incredibly helpful and patient, and did not charge me for the extra assistance at all! I received far more personalized attention than I would have expected, in a relaxed atmosphere. This was a completely positive experience, compared to some horrible ones I've experienced in the past year with other computer services.
Description of Work: I went to Valencia Mac initially to pull out two hard drives from my two obsolete, non-working computers (and I was happy that they recycled the units for me for no extra charge. When I returned to pick up my old hard drives I also brought in my current laptop which was running slow, to have it checked out.

I initially contacted Nathan by email, after seeing his ad in local publications. My goal was to find out whether my laptop was worth upgrading so I could put off investing in a new computer for a while. After a few exchanges, including his advising me that I'd already installed the maximum RAM and that I shouldn't spend too much $$ on a 5-year-old laptop (which is still functioning fine, and still seems new to me!), I decided to go forward with a hard drive upgrade. This was essentially a leap of faith in trusting my lapto p to a service provider who seemed trustworthy and knowledgeable. Nathan is affiliated with a larger Apple retailer, and is himself a licensed Apple reseller (this helped the trust level). He rewarded my trust with prompt service and good, clean work. He's in the process of opening a brick & mortar store-that's where I'll purchase my new desktop when I'm ready.
Description of Work: Nathan replaced the 6GB hard drive in my 2002 Titanium Powerbook with a 150+ GB hard drive and transferred all data and applications from the old drive to the new drive, also checking that the drive and applications functioned properly. To do this-he picked up my laptop at my home office on a Friday and delivered it, work completed, on the following Sunday afternoon. Nathan called before each appointment and was professionally attired in a Valencia Mac-branded crewneck T-shirt & khakis. Having a "uniform" when making home deliveries projects a legitimate business. Cost breakdown: HD price: $189, 2 hrs labor: $150, data transfer: $75.
