I've dealt with Ira on 2 occasions. The first time he bought and installed a new printer and additionally, he took the initiative to make important updates that I didn't realize I needed. The second visit involved a minor issue that was quickly resolved. I felt that he should have been compensated for his time, but he refused any payment! Obviously, customer care and satisfaction are more important to him than financial remuneration. Suffice it to say, I have him on speed dial.
Description of Work: Purchase new printer, Installation and updates. The charge was for the first visit only.

Ira was very helpful and professional. He spent several hours at our house and not only improved the desktop but also did work on my laptop and phone. He made sure that my files are being backed up properly. He also installed an internet booster to improve our internet service. I am very satisfied with this service.

I first contact Goodberg Computer Services to take care of my laptop. At the end, he ended up fixing our internet at home, upgrading our modem, fixing the airport, and even dealing with Time Warner/Spectrum over the phone - which is always a pain, and he did it with no problems; even got us a better deal with them

He came 2 times. Both times he accomplished what needed to be done. His honesty and integrity, knowledge is worth its price. His work is not cheap. But i believe you get what you pay for. I was able to get an internet in my place using his recommendation. I thought I was never going to have one He was very helpful and knowledgeable. I recommend his service very highly.

Very well. My wife has a home based business with four computers and a variety of shared resources (printers, scanner, NAS). We recently upgraded to WIN 10, and have had issues since with the recognition of resources. I called and the phone was immediately answered by Ira. We had a discussion wherein he helped diagnose the problem, and offered some suggestions that I try before unnecessarily spending money. I was so impressed by his thoughtful approach that is very old school and very unusual in this day and age. He gave me actionable advice that was straightforward. Ira advised that should the suggested step not work, it may be appropriate to call them..but wanted me to check the essentials. Very refreshing that this firm is interested in long term relationships and not short-term "jobs." Should the need arise for future services, Goodberg will be our first call!

We advised this client that their antiquated PC was not worth putting money into. We could have "fixed it", but it was not in their interests to do so: we advised them to get a new computer and we could come back and transfer their data to it. We did, however, upgrade their network which was barely functioning. It was a pleasure to help these members get their technology working better.

Response from Goodberg Computer Services
This member's house had a water leak and her floors were under an inch of water, and she had repair people there trying to fix this. We were tasked with relocating her equipment to a dry area, but she was so busy with the leak situation that she was unable to communicate with us effectively about where she wanted us to move it to. In addition, the member wanted us to deal only with her care giver, who was unclear about what the member wanted us to do with her old computer. We completed the work she asked us to do despite the chaos at her home. Service was provided on Dec. 7, 2015, not on the date the member has submitted. We acted in a professional manner, and feel it is unfortunate that the member has chosen to give us a less than stellar review, despite our working under very difficult conditions.

Most recently, Ira set up my new Mac system. He also got my I-phone working and explained how to use it.
Description of Work: Ira has set up a couple of computer systems for me over the years. Each time he was thorough and efficient in the set-up. He's also trouble-shot problems with me over the phone when something went wrong. Most often, he could clarify what I needed to do to take care of the problem.

I have been using Goodberg now for many years. I had previously tried other "consulting and service" entities with absolutely terrible experiences and results. I am a senior and most of these other technicians were impatient and arrogant. I cannot say enough positive, wonderful things about Goodberg especially in being so accommodating and prompt regarding scheduling. And I cannot emphasize how patient and competent Goodberg is with me concerning computer and cell phone instruction and operation. Every problem I have ever had was always corrected. Service has always been completed to my full satisfaction. Goodberg is an absolute "life-saver" for me! I cannot stress how professional, punctual, patient, and service-oriented Goodberg is! Words are not adequate and there is not enough time for all the deserved accolades that I can attribute to the professionalism and expertise of Goodberg! Goodberg is my very important, ultimate "gift" in the successful operation of my computers and thus my business!

I would recommend that anyone with computer problems, who desire to properly set up a computer or require computer instruction contact Ira and Bonny. Ira is a bulldog when it comes to computer problems. If there is a repair solution he will will find it. But....equally as important, he will also advise you when it is time to purchase new equipment without wasting your money making needless repairs to incur hourly charges. I should also note that Ira and Bonny "come to you" and in fact have worked on my computers in Ventura County and downtown Los Angeles. Finally, I am currently in the market for a computer to do Photoshop. Ira is my trusted advisor on this to ensure that I make the correct purchase for my computing needs. Bottom line, spend a little to save a lot. The Goodbergs will give you proper, ethical advice on your computing needs all in the comfort of your home.
Description of Work: I am somewhat tech savvy and can do many of my own computer stuff. But when I get stumped, I turn to Ira and Bonny Goodberg to bail me out. Ira most recently brought an old lap top back to life to give it a few more years of service. It was a perplexing problem that defeated me and challenged Ira's ample skills.

I considered myself reasonably tech capable, but there are issues that require a professional to sort them out. I've been using Ira and Bonnie for years. They figure out the problem,, explain what went wrong and how to avoid the problem in the future, then fix it. I usually gain a lot of useful information along the way. Personally and professionally, they are a pleasure to work with.

It went great. Ira was terrific, and what would have taken me weeks ( if I could have accomplished it at all..) was done in a couple of hours. When I had questions, he either answered them quickly and accurately over the phone, and in one instance, came to the house at no charge to instruct me. He is extremely knowledgeable about computers, and is helped by his wife, Bonnie, who is a whiz at keeping track of all the information needed to properly work on our computer. They are wonderful folks and best of all, are both extremely patient for newbies in the computer world. They were originally recommended to me by a good friend who is a producer-writer who swears by them. I have used them exclusively for four years, and understand his loyalty.

It was perfect. They shopped for the computer for me and got the best deal they could. They installation was very quick and very clean. They were very cautious to clean after themselves. I have even had to call them to have them nurse through some functions on the computer and they are always courteous, polite and helpful regardless of what time I call. They are really great.
