Technesia

Definitely would invite that guy for barbecue.
By the way he also repaired my PC for a fair price on a Sunday afternoon. He’s super nice, friendly, competent and professional. He works from home and has two cute dogs. Dan feel free to come to my 21^st bday on Saturday. :D

After having several bad experiences w/​the Apple Store on Walnut street:
(I.E., getting an iPhone 6 at 2pm & they said all my info would appear from the iPhone 5 within 3 – 4 hours – which i had surgical case info for the next day on it. The Apple Store would NOT see me the same afternoon without the Apple bar appointment after just purchasing the phone & getting a guarantee the info would be on my phone. Instead of allowing the sales associate to help, a rent a cop physically made me leave the store— I needed the Patient info for a 7:30AM surgery the next morning– the cop got hostile & said you have to come back tomorrow. The patient couldn’t have her surgery.)
I reached out to Technesia & they are experts with the Apple products. I will NEVER go to Apple Store again without asking Technesia first. They are great with Apple MacBook– issue w/​spills & not turning on. They can fix it for less than Apple or tell you what the best option is.

Such a positive experience! I was told by the Apple Store that my 2007 mac was «too old» for them to transfer any of my pictures or music or anything to my new computer and that other places wouldn’t be able to either. Dan was super affordable, friendly and efficient. He was also very flexible in terms of when he was available. He was able to transfer every single thing off of my old hard drive and onto my new computer with ease. Not sure what the Apple Store was talking about but now I know in the future to skip those long lines and come straight to Technesia when I run into a problem.

No spills here — just had an old MacBook Pro, circa 2009, needing some help in her old age.
Its service battery alert was activated for at least 3 years, and general functionality was slow and sputtery. Dan replaced my battery and replaced my hard drive and memory (I think– I’m also tech illiterate) for a beyond reasonable price (considering I was thinking about buying a brand new computer due to just not knowing how to fix a vague problem like «slow»). I’m really happy with this service, because even though my Macbook is old, it’s now completely functional. Dan was careful to warn me not to expect it to perform like the Macbook Airs of 2016, but the difference between my computer of yesterday and my computer of today is like night and day. It makes me very happy that I’m able to keep a machine which was otherwise in good condition rather than having to replace it.
Oh, so the other great thing about Technesia is that Dan texted me throughout the repair process and was able to perform the whole repair overnight. Thanks again!

Dan helped replace my computer battery and IO board after I managed to damage the IO board to the point where it wasn’t charging any battery (thanks to a minor spill). I thought it was just a battery problem because my MacBook Air had been telling me to service my battery for the past year — and it would have been easy for Dan to just replace the battery for me and take my money. But he opened up my computer, ran a diagnostic, and found the deeper problem that I wouldn’t have guessed at. He also did everything at a very reasonable price. You’re going to have to come back a second time to actually replace parts if you need new parts, since Dan has to order them online first, but he was very transparent about the whole process and patient in explaining everything. He is an amazingly talented guy running an honest business by providing great service. I’m glad I found him to resolve my computer woes!
Call or text him before heading down to make an appointment, so that he knows to expect you (and make sure you update him if plans change so that he knows not to wait and hang around for you)!

Don’t look elsewhere. Dan knows his craft, is affordable, communicative, and absolutely cool to get to know. He fixed my motherboard for 40% of what it would have cost in the Apple store. I thought all was lost until someone referred me to him. Thanks for your help, Dan.

Dan is a lifesaver and computer genius! I spilled coffee on my laptop causing parts of my keyboard to not function properly. He diagnosed the problem and ordered the part during the first appointment (but only after telling me to never buy a PC again: P). Once the part arrived, I came in again and he replaced everything and made sure all parts were functioning properly. You can even leave your laptop there with him so he can work on it as soon as the part arrives. His prices are very reasonable and he is a nice and social guy! Dan also had two friendly dogs, which is always a plus. I will definitely be going back to Dan for all my computer needs, he is trust worthy and good at what he does! Highly recommend!

Dan was super friendly and gave great service. When I accidentally spilled water on my MacBook Air (only a year old), the Apple Store could only send it out for a $ 700+ repair without checking anything.
Dan took it apart, gave it a deep cleaning and found out that the keyboard was short-​circuited. He was able to order a new keyboard and repair it within a week and for MUCH cheaper than the Apple Store. Dan kept my informed throughout the process and even sent me a video to prove that the keyboard wasn’t working. I’d highly recommend Technesia’s services to anyone with technology issues. Thanks, Dan!

Pointer-​make an appointment first because this guy literally works out of his apartment when you enter theres his futon and everything right there. Anyhow, I spilled snapple on my macbook air and could not get it to power back on. I brought it in to Technesia and it was fixed within a couple of days for CHEAP. Only problem now is that ever since I got it fixed here I have malware (VERY rare to get on Apple computers especially if you don’t torrent, etc.) and I have a sneaking suspicion that this fella installed the malware so he gets a repeat customer even sooner… Every time i click on a link I get taken to a new tab with a warning/​ad saying I have malware and should buy this and this and this product ASAP to fix it… Can’t say it was 100% him but it is a bit a shady to me and if it weren’t for this I’d be giving this service ⁵⁄₅ stars.

Dan recently fixed my 4 year old Mac laptop. I had an adware virus preventing the internet from functioning properly and it was running very slowly. I took my computer to his house in South Philly (which is easy to get to from the Broad St Line). He removed the virus, deleting unwanted files and programs that were slowing my machine down and took the computer apart to clean the dust and grime getting in the way of the hard drive function. He was meticulous and kind. You can tell he really enjoys what he does for a living –and he’s great at it. I wouldn’t take my computer anywhere else and neither should you! I played with his friendly dogs while he worked and he even offered me wine! What a deal. Call him ASAP.

Can I tell u guys how Dan is the best and very local and close. He only help me with a minor battery issue but I trust him and he is not that costly!!!
Thanks again Dan

I called Dan regarding a hardware issue I was having with my Lenovo laptop. I had called several other computer repair shops in the Philadelphia area, every one of them said they wouldn’t be able to diagnose or even look at my PC that day. Dan is the complete opposite of these guys. He answered the phone immediately, diagnosed the problem over the phone, and within 45 minutes I was watching him take apart my laptop.
He works out of his apartment in Point Breeze, South Philly. Don’t be thrown. This is a benefit to you. Because Dan doesn’t waste money on fancy offices the price of his service is considerably lower. He charged me the parts at cost and a very reasonable fee for service. I would’ve had to pay 3 – 5 times more had I taken it to the manufacturer and at least double anywhere else.
He’ll text you with updates throughout the repair process and is kind, practical and to the point. He’ll even share a beer or glass of wine with you if you stop by at the right time. There is no parallel.
I will be going to Dan with all future electronics issues.

I am flabbergasted at the degree of customer service I got from Dan. I drove halfway across the city and am so glad I did. He not only saved all the data from my computer, but he helped me pick out a replacement one. He was personable and clearly invested in client relationships and quality interactions. And on top of it all, after spending a really long time helping me, he charged me next to nothing. He made me feel better not only about my computer situation, but made my day with his kindness. Above and beyond.

I had the dreaded Gray Screen on my Mac Pro and a disk stuck in the drive. Using Unilocal,I called 4 highly rated and local people to get some help. Dan was the only one to call me back. Within 2 hours of my call, my Mac was in his able hands. Another 2.5 hours later, my Mac was working better than ever.
Dan may not have a flashy office like the Apple Authorized dealers, but he was faster, friendlier, and cheaper than they could ever be.
Highly recommended!

I definitely recommend Dan at Technesia. It’s hard to find computer repair that’s so skilled, fast, and reasonably priced. My laptop would not boot because a necessary file had either been deleted or corrupted. I dropped off my laptop at 11:30 and he had it repaired at 3:30 for $ 60. I’m bringing another one for him to look at tomorrow.

Dan was fabulous! He replaced the track pad and slow hard drive on my 2009 Macbook pro, as well as updated the software and cleaned up the system to make it run faster. It was paaaaiiifully slow before, and now feels almost like new again! All that for $ 220 (including the parts) which is a lot easier to swallow than having to buy a new computer. He said I might get another 3 or 4 years out of it, which would be amazing!
Dan built his business from the ground up and has been doing this for over 7 years. He’s honest and straight forward, and I’m very pleased with the results! Thanks Dan!

Dan did an excellent job getting my PC back in business again. I had a virus that was preventing Windows from opening and he had it fixed in two hours and for an extremely reasonable price. I expressed to Dan how I was planning on getting a new computer anyway because it was slow and 4 yrs old, but he said I didn’t need to spend all of that money; I just needed a few new parts. He ordered them, installed them and now my PC works better than it did when it was brand new! Thanks, Dan!

I accidentally spilled water on my Macbook Pro and it automatically shut down. And I really didn’t know what to do but when I found this place I was worried the mac was probably not going to work but he magically turned it on and I was amazed! Decent price, strange location but great overall! And the dogs are cute too :)

Dan, Dan, he’s your man, if he can’t fix your computer NO ONE CAN!
I have a 2011 MacBook Pro, and was having a major issue with starting up my computer and keeping it on. After some internet-​sleuthing I found that this is a common problem with this kind of laptop, and the issue most likely was with my logic board or video card. This repair would cost HUNDREDS of dollars at the Apple Store… a devastating expense for me! Plus those Apple repair guys can be kind of snobby, am I right?!
After looking at some reviews, I decided to give Technesia a try. Dan, the owner, was super accommodating and fast. He fixed my video card and had everything up and running the next day for a fraction of the cost of what Apple would have charged. Don’t be put off by the home office set up… he is a true professional and knows his stuff!
I will be going to Dan with all my future computer-​related problems!

Dan runs Technesia, and he is first-​class amazing. After getting just a bit of water on my Macbook Air, it stopped charging. The Apple Store gave me the options of either a $ 750 repair or just buying a new laptop for even more money. I brought the computer to Dan and he was able to fix it for literally 10% of the cost in one hour, so he saved me over $ 600.
Dan’s client service is also amazing. When I first needed help, he picked up the phone on a Sunday evening, and when I was in an accident on the way to pick up my laptop, he was super helpful in playing phone tag and getting me my laptop back. I would recommend Technesia many times over, and can guarantee that I will always be going to Dan for electronics repair first in the future.
