PC Panacea

Yair did an amazing job with my MacBook Pro! I came because my keyboard was broken. He gave me a few suggestions how to upgrade my laptop to make it run faster and smoother (which I thought could only be solved by buying a new computer!) I was happy to invest in it and now it’s like new, works 10X faster! Amazing service, THE person to go for any computer trouble!

I found PC Panacea during a frantic search for IT services last week. My boss’s computer just stopped turning on and he was in a panic because he was unable to access any of his files. We needed a quick fix and I was so pleased with Yair at PC Panacea. I called him but was not able to reach him right away, he called me right back, which NEVER happens. We spoke about the issue and within an hour or so he was at my office. He diagnosed the problem and knew exactly what was needed to fix it. All would have been repaired that afternoon had we not needed to order the part online. But once the part came in a few days later, he came in again (this time within 30 min) and installed it. We were up and running once again. I will definitely be using this service again in the future. Other services I found were much more expensive and could not come to our office for 3 – 6 days so PC Panacea was absolutely my best option. So happy!

I contacted Yair about my laptop’s touchpad, which had inexplicably ceased functioning. We discussed the problem, and when I told him the computer’s warranty had only expired 2 weeks earlier, he urged me to try to convince the manufacturer to repair it — and they acquiesced.
So basically he saved me $ 250. At any rate, he’s won my business for all future disasters — I’m loyal to people who are honest and ethical!

I had a WiFi emergency last weekend that PC Panacea obliterated. The Optimum router Cablevision brought me was supposed to be top quality, have the best range etc, but this weekend my AirBnB tenants started to complain that there was no wifi signal in their unit, after my wife and I bought a new baby monitor that promised not to interfere with the wifi, on the box.
I am tech savvy and I like to know whats going on with the tech work in my house. I argued at first that the Optimum router should be the best, because i’ve changed them so many times from older routers. Cablevision promised this was the best router, but it never worked right. and PC recommended and installed a WiFi unit that blasts the strongest signal all over the house, even in our front yard!
Yair is extremely professional, friendly and easy to talk to. He was very patient with my input the whole way through, did wonderful work and i paid a fraction of what I would have with Best Buy’s Geek Squad (for some college kid that doesn’t know how to shake my hand)

I tend to only leave Unilocal reviews when something is really bad or rrreeeally good. I was lucky enough to have the hard drive on my barely-​3-​year-​old Dell laptop crash (is there a Unilocal for Dell??) and they quoted me $ 200 to ship me a new hard drive set up with all of my original programs when the laptop was brand new, but as far as getting the stuff off my crashed HD, they told me if it was even possible it was strictly up to me. «Oh and we can email you instructions on how to install the new drive»
Great!
Long story short, for the same $ 200 Yair actually *upgraded* the laptop (with something he explained to me… that he can explain to you) AND saved all of my stuff, documents, work files on my desktop I never had a chance to back up, from the old drive. Its way faster now than its ever been. Go with PCPC!

I’ve had two phone and a macbook repaired since the last review. Yair at was able to revive my equipment that I was convinced was dead. The phones were a screen issue and a battery issue. The computer issue was major, I kept losing power sporadically and thus losing work and lots of time. I brought it to apple who basically said they couldnt find anything wrong with it and I should probably just buy a new computer. It ended up being a glitch in Apple’s operating system! Once he upgraded me to Yosimete everything was fine again. Why would Apple not at least tell me to try that?!
Yair has literally saved me thousands of dollars and the service is always fast and direct. He knows what he’s talking about and explains all the options simply without any salesy upsells. This is the best deal you will find for IT and computer repair in Manhattan hands down.

My old black Apple Macbook, which I had since 2007 died last year. I visited a few Apple stores and an authorized dealer to see if they could help me get my data back. They told me the best they could do is send it out for $ 600, with no guarantee and no refund. I ended up buying a new computer.
I found PC Panacea online and brought in my old computer, with almost no hope. I left it with Yair, the next day he contacted me to come in and check what he has recovered. He recovered everything! All my photos, videos, grad school work, etc… Everything I thought I lost from 6 years of my life was back! And it didn’t cost me anything near $ 600.
I came back to do an iPhone modification and battery change. My phone is working like new and I have new blue buttons on my yellow iPhone 5C: D

I highly recommend calling PC Panacea. I brought in my Nexus 4 with with a broken charging port and a broken mic. Yair repaired the phone quickly, I was in and out in 30 minutes. I will definitely call him again if I need any other repairs.

Popped in for a quick iPhone screen replacement, fair priced, fast and friendly. would recommend.

I recently had a DJ gig in NYC in which my laptop was critically involved. No laptop, No gig. Sure enough, as I was preparing tracks for that night, my laptop just wouldn’t boot. It turned on and gave me an error message and a small heart attack!
I asked around and found out Yair works with PC Panacea, got a hold of him and begged for help. Not only was he able to bring the laptop back to life in just a few minutes, he charged me his normal super low drop-​off rate even though he knew I was in a desperate emergency and know nothing about computers. He was super professional, made the problem disappear, inexpensive, and really saved my tuchus in an emergency. Highly recommended! He’s the man for the job!

Got laptop or phone problems? Then look no further than this guy! Yair is great! I bought a new Mac laptop and he helped me set it up, moved over all my stuff from my old clunky PC, setup all my accounts, anti virus, threw in some apps, and got it all done under an hour, which was a life saver since I was in a rush. This is my second time at his shop, the first time in he fixed the screen on my brand new iPhone that iDropped.
5 stars! Highly recommend! Th guy is hilarious, very personable, and while you there you can hang out and listen to the awesome music he pumps while fixing all your stuff lighting fast.

Great company. Help me with my email. Fast and friendly service!

Yair helped us set up our business email, he was super knowledgeable, professional and friendly. Highly recommended.

Wow such help from Yair, i brought him my phone which had all sorts of problems from cracked screen to broken charger port and i thought i Would be screwed with no phone for a week, but I was wrong i had my phone the next day working like new i highly recommend.

Great service! Came to my office and fixed my iphone very quickly. Def would recommend using this service.

Yair did a great job fixing my cracked iPhone screen and did it quickly and cheaply. Couldn’t have asked for better service. Highly recommend.

Yair is a consummate professional. My daughter had just gotten an iphone 5 for her birthday and the screen broke almost immediately after she opened it. We came in and Yair fixed the screen in less than twenty minutes. My daughter was ecstatic! Two thumbs up!

Ok so you know that home button on the iPhone? it’s annoying how after a couple of years that button just died on me! At first it was just difficult to press it, but then it just died completely.
This guy fixed my iPhone 4S’s home button in 20~30 minutes. And I think it only took so long because we were talking and joking around while he was doing it. I think I was slowing him down! :-)
I highly recommend, charged a fair price, is a great guy, and overall delivered a totally great service.

They did an amazing job cleaning a virus from my laptop for just $ 50. And on top of that they cleaned it up to run faster for free! Would highly recommend their services!

Yair from PC Panacea is amazing. He fixed my iPhone 5S screen in 20 minutes and charged me the lowest price I found in New York. I had a flight to catch the next day and it was a relief to have this quickly taken care of. Friendly and fast service with a smile. Doesn’t get better.
