Selectronic

Reliable and cost effective for printers and ink which could be very expensive. I’ve been doing business with them over 15 years and trust them 100%. Repairs and even house-​calls are part of the package deal.

Love Hector! They’ve saved my business so many times. Always a fair price and they always go the extra step. Even did a ‘house visit’ to my biz! Thanks guys!

Man. Fast fast fast. Same day repairs. Very nice people. Se habla español. When you have nothing but good to say about these people there really is not much to say at all.
Want it fixed and fast this is your place and if you don’t know just ask

I have used Selectronic for several years, and they have always repaired my computers professionally for a reasonable price. It is a pleasure to deal with all of the staff at Selectronic. Hector is very knowledgeable about computers, and he has always been able to resolve my computer issues. You will not go wrong patronizing this business.

When I came to write a review here, I was shocked to see a couple of the nasty full-​page garbage that some people had written. Then I saw that their *only* reviews for other establishments are 1-​star, and then I realized what kind of morons would take so much time to try and discredit a good business.
I can only say this: I’ve brought my laptops here on at least 3 occasions and have been very very pleased. The owner has been extremely honest with me each time and I’ve received my computer back in excellent shape. Hector can diagnose a problem in less time than almost anyone else with whom I’ve dealt, so he’s worth every penny.
I won’t go anywhere else.

My lively hood is directly connected to my computer. I have used Selectronic to service my computers for 6 years now and I would recommend Hector to anybody that needs their computers to work and data that cannot be lost. Hector has saved my data in instances that I thought were impossible. The pricing is always MORE THAN FAIR and my computer has never been «not ready» when promised. It is a nice family owned business that is run like a small town shop with very personable and reliable service. Thanks Selectronic!

I have been using this company since about 2009. They have always given me good service and reasonable rates. I am very pleased with the quality of their work, fairness, and fast service. Selectronic doesn’t give you a run around and they know what they are talking about. They far exceed other computer shops I have used, especially Geek Squad.

4÷28÷2015 Another great experience with Selectronic and Hector. We have been using Hector’s services for the last 6 years, at least, with any Laptop or Printer problem and they were always quickly resolved. The pricing is always fair and it’s not unusual for Hector to go beyond the call of duty. Recently, I could not Print as everything went to Save… Quickly discovered it was «Corrupted Software’.
Rose is always very friendly and efficient in the Front. Give a «Thumbs Up» !!

This place is awesome””” ver pleased with my computer””“Done in a timely manner”“and never worked better”“Hector is very knowledgable and professional”“I’m going to recommend this place to all my friends and family””

Obvious technical deficiency and high ‘Money-​GREED’ were 2 self-​demonstrating red flags I’ve experienced on my first time business with that shop! Hector Del-​Rio, the shop owner (which in any business usually the main shop owner considered the most experienced and knowledgeable about nature of the business he or she has founded) was indeed my main worry after I left my 18.4″ Widescreen Display VGN-​AW330J VAIO laptop at his shop for screen replacement! Del-Rio’s first indication to make me suspicious about the shop’s technical abilities was when he claimed 2 little symmetric tombstoned points on both angles of laptop’s screen’s exterior metal-​side (which designed by manufacturer and could be verified on all VAIO laptops of same model online) «Are Both Damages That Already Existing on the Laptop» :)! (Quite ‘Mickey-​Mouse’ expression for a technical-​center you expect to resolve your complex technical issues!) His deficiency admission popped up when he commented a few minutes latter that «Working on that type of VAIO laptop will be left to his associate (which was absent at that time!) which obviously showed he has no prior clue or experience about type of laptop I gave him to repair! (Usually you expect less experienced individuals leave more-​complex repairs to more experienced, founder and shop-​owner to challenge, in that shop was the other way around)! He mentioned verbally and also on his silly none-​computer generated hand-​wrote primary invoice (in written) that the labor cost to repair the laptop will be $ 89.00 (Sounds pretty much like psychologically designed ‘Number-​9′ line-​up on dollars and cents trick used by used-​car dealerships while his labor cost for laptop repair on his shop’s wall-​board was showing differently)! plus more expenses depending on kind of replacement part/​s will be required (Which seem pretty logic), Despite all my worries and doubts he created for me by his comments about his capability but to avoid indecisiveness in business I left the laptop at his shop and left there waiting for his call about additional cost for parts besides the $ 89.00 labor cost he defined on his invoice when his ‘Genius’ repair-​superman comes back! Hector Del-​Rio called me the next day undermining his own given invoice and doubled his labor cost to $ 180.00 plus additional parts coast (in which he estimated will be around $ 400.00)! total of nearly $ 600.00 repair cost! (higher than what authorized manufacturer (SONY) with SONY original brand-​parts and guaranteed-​repair would cost! When I asked him what caused him to double his cost he came up with even goofier respond, he said because of «The Kind of laptop you have’, Your laptop is more complex! :) (Quite a Joke! Based on Del-​Rio logic then if I’d give him a cheap old Compaq PC to fix I could reduce his labor-​cost to $ 35.00 since Compaqs are cheap laptops! At that point I noticed he quotes you based on worth of your laptop and brand depending on Del-Rio’s Mind-​Reading outcome on assessing how much you really want and need your PC not by his labor-​cost defined for repairing any laptop!
I glad of finding an excuse to release the laptop and revoke the repair rejected the proceeding on the phone and rushed to his shop to get the laptop back, I then carried the laptop to a Real Expert repair shop in Mission Gorge (called ‘Tech Experts’), He instantly onsite (before my eyes) disassembled the screen in 3 minutes after experimenting the external monitor result and confidently determined the screen lamp (which comes with new screen) is a defect and needs to be replaced (right on the money!) he then gave me a flat out the door digitally generated repair-​quote for $ 160.92 to order the screen in Texas and gave my PC back 4 days latter in a great conditions without any scratch or dents on laptop with 90 days warranty of parts and labor, I absolutely and definitely suggest that shop, They’re really expert on repairing all cell phones, laptops and tablets with very reasonable costs and above all. .. «DIGNITY»! Here is their website:

I took in my macbook for repairs because it was too slow and sluggish. I told him i thought it was the hard drive, but insisted that he will test it to make sure; that way he could save me money if it was salvageable. Hector finished the job quickly and efficiently. I now am able to use my macbook again and now am writing the review using it. Thanks again Selectronic Team.

Second great experience with Selectronic! Took in my Toshiba laptop in a partially disassembled state to have some thermal compound put on the CPU. It was overheating badly and when I tried to do it, I just wasn’t brave enough to yank the motherboard to do it. I trusted them completely to fix it and put it back together and they did not disappoint.
They got it taken care of and even did a clean up for me. My Toshiba is running like a champ with no overheating at all.
Thank you Selectronic!
7÷23÷14 Update — My laptop continues to run cool now with no problems at all. Thank you again. I should have gotten this fixed sooner!

I’ve gone into this business on a few occasions over the years to get help with my computer problems. Each time I’d gone in, I was given the best service and advice on what the issues were with my computer and what I’d need to do to fix it. I’ve never been let down. My biggest mistake was taking it to someone else who said they had expert techs on staff that could do it cheaper, then had to take it back when it crashed again weeks later. But I learned from my mistake and should have taken it to Selectronics from the start. These folks have integrity in what they do and back their work. I even got a follow up call to see if everything was working properly after having my computer restored to perfect working order.
I’ve worked on computers for years and understand the procedure that needs to be taken to diagnose programming and hardware issues. This was done to the book. I was never left in the dark about what was needing to be done, what the problems were or how much it would cost to fix the problems.
What impressed me was when I’d gone in to see them in the past, and explained any problems I’d been experiencing, I was given the CORRECT solutions to fixing the issue, no matter what it was. I’d had a video card go out, was told by someone else it was a bad hard drive needing to be replaced after seeing a screen shot I’d taken. Hector was shown the exact same screen shot and said it was definitely the video card. He was right as usual and told me that what I needed, he didn’t have one in stock and told me where to get the one I needed. He didn’t try to sell me on something I wouldn’t have been happy with, and didn’t charge me for taking a look at the computer when I brought it in. And this has happened each time I’ve gone to him for consultation of any issues I’ve had.
I can honestly say that I’m so glad that he’s one of our local neighborhood businesses. I work in retail and so I understand customer service is what makes or breaks a business and this place is definitely 5 star service. I would advise anyone in the area to go to see them and know that the protocol that is used here is professional expertise at it’s finest.

Great honest people. They looked at a crashed hard drive and worked to restore it but it was toast. They however did not charge me a penny as they say their policy is to only charge if they recover data. Spread the word you can trust these folks.

SUPER!!! Great & fast & reasonable $$ AND wonderfully helpful people.
STRONGLY recommend this IBM typewriter service& repair center.

I took my computer in to be cleaned after the fan stopped working. My computer was thoroughly cleaned and the fan was replaced. They prepared me to wait five days at the longest since we are close to a weekend but I got my computer back within 24 hours. Additionally, I was quoted one price, but when they called and said the repairs had been completed, the price went down by $ 40. They were happy to offer the lower price and I was reassured by their honesty. The staff is very friendly and they get the job done. On top of everything they are happy to give a military discount. My computer runs better than it has in a long time! Should I have any other problems I will take it to Selectronic. You can’t beat friendly, honest, quick, and fair.

Bought a laptop when mine broke. They not only fixed my broken laptop but a year after I bought one from them, they sent it away to have the mother board fixed — at no cost to me. This is the place to have anything computer-​related fixed. They are friendly, call you when they said they will, and do what they say. I love these people for fine service and quality business. Can’t say enough good things about them.

Typical story, spilled liquid on laptop, dropped it off for a diagnostic and expected a call back about what was damaged and what I could do next. They actually cleaned the laptop, which was an additional charge that I did not agree to.
Pros: military discount and convenient hours/​location
Cons:
— Quality of service– still sticky after the «cleaning»
— Tacky business sticker put on my computer without my permission that I had to remove
— beware of what services you «authorize» to be performed on your computer/​device (not always is this universal as you might think)
— be sure to have the receipt reflect exactly what you want to be done
Bottom line: the pros definitely do not outweigh the cons at this establishment and you have a 99% chance of having communication issues here, my experience was not pleasant and I would not recommend my worst enemy to go here.

The hard drive on my computer crashed and I was very upset because I had never backed up any of my files. Mr. Hector and his staff were amazing. Great customer service and Mr. Hector was upfront and honest about if I would be able to recover my files (all of my work for my doctorate program and my son’s baby pics). Because my hard drive was so fried he wasnt able to recover any data however recommended a place that specialized only in data recovery and sent it off at no cost to me for a free estimate. On top of that I got my computer back with a new hard drive and OS. It was like getting a brand new comp! The prices are more then competitive and customer service great!

After hitting up the interwebs, Radio Shack, and a couple of other stores in vain while on the hunt for elusive microscopic computer screws for a battered laptop, we serendipitously crossed paths with Selectronic.
The gentleman working here was incredibly generous in allowing us to sift through a box of remnant screws and pick out whatever we thought would work — at no charge whatsoever. Dude saved the day and my faith in humanity.
