Extremely professional, knowledgeable, and fair. Will not be going anywhere else for IT assistance. Thank you.

SD Bytes has saved our bacon more than once! Weve brought them some pretty sad looking equipment and theyve been able to troubleshoot and repair our connectors and motherboard when we thought all hope was lost. They worked quickly and professionally, going above and beyond. Time IS money, and their repairs allowed my production crew to get back to work with a minimum amount of downtime.

Great experience and customer service, my macbook air went swimming on the weekend. Showed up and hour before they closed, Stanley was great he troubleshooted was honest and even took to another shop in an attempt to salvage for me. In the end the laptop couldnt be fixed they ended up not charging me at ALL. Great people, service and I will definitely be back to a business with integrity!

Went to get my computer repaired after encountering crashes whenever the computer was plugged in. He found the problem after testing many things to narrow it down, and was very transparent in explaining that the issue could be fixed but that it would be prohibitively expensive. Since the issue couldn’t realistically be fixed, I was offered a full refund even though several hours of work were spent diagnosing the issue. The guys at this shop are honest, personable, and have a sense of integrity. And though they couldn’t fix my specific issue, I saw many happy customers walk out of their store while I was there and I learned more about how computers work to boot. Definitely worth the trip.

I want to thank him for his kindness of helping me. Highly recommend him I am a college student and needed help with my laptop he helped me right away!

Best computer services and prices anywhere! I cant count how many times Shannon has saved me from nearly losing my mind by recovering my data, and improving all of my computers -- even after I thought all was lost. I never consider going anywhere else!

Had to send all of our computers/laptops in to get updated and repaired. All were fixed and work great now, Shannon was super honest about pricing. FYI this shop is the only website that tells you his prices on the website. All the other websites had super up charges after we talked to them (even with the $25 off) SD Bytes was still cheaper. Fast, clean and honest.

The guys were absolute wizards, I came in and they were super comfortable to talk to and relate with. They said of I had a few minutes they could look at it right then and instead of calling the next day they fixed it in less than 30 minutes for way less than I was expecting to pay. Thanks boys🤘🏻

I highly recommend SD Bytes for all of your computer repair needs. Their rates are extremely reasonable and the turnaround time was lightening fast. Shannon and Stanley were excellent to work with. Their knowledge and expertise with gaming computers was unsurpassed by other repair stores. I was impressed by the excellent customer service I received. I will never take our computers anywhere else!

I brought them a tablet that needed its charging port replaced. They told me that they would look at it and give me a call, and called to say that the repair would cost more than the tablet was worth, because the part was so expensive. They were good about calling me, although it was later than I expected, and had the tablet ready when I went to pick it up, but since then Ive been looking around and discovering that the part is only about $1.95 on Amazon. I may be misjudging, because I am not a hardware expert; maybe there was more wrong than I thought there was. Ive given it to a friend, who says he will resolder the charge port and get it back to me. If that works, Im probably going to take this review down a notch or two. Otherwise, they seem to be very professional.

Hey SDbytes! Thanks for the repaste mates! Lowered my standby and max temps by 5-7c! (see pics)

Saved my life! they were able to help me out in the busiest time of the year. Prices are reasonable and they were always very friendly and professional. I HIGHLY recommend them for any computer issues you might have. Shannon went above and beyond. Thank you!

No problems at all. Professional work and service. Though the can be backed up at times. Just be patient, it is worth it.

My computer was repaired quickly and efficiently. The repair person gave me options and was up front about pricing.

Great service. Brought my gaming laptop in for screen repair and the first replacement they ordered was damaged in the mail through no fault of their own so it took some time. Computer is perfect again and I didnt have any extra problems when I took it home like Ive had at other places that had more difficulty working on it. Highly recommend.

Fast service and very affordable pricing. My computer was ready the same day I dropped it off!

Reasonable price to remove virus that attacked my desk top. Quick turn around service, nice personnel.

Love these guys! They are so nice and do great work. Definitely go here if your computer needs help.

Best pc repair ever. Shannon is very courteous and jammed out my boneheaded mistake same day. The next time I nuke my pc Ill bring it here and only here.

After 3 days of trouble shooting my new rig, I decide to bring it into a computer repair shop. I had no idea what was going on. I looked at many computer repair shops from Frys, Best Buy, and others but their fees were outrages and the turn around time was 4 days or more. I found SD Bytes Computer Repair on Google. I called and the owner answer; his name is Shannon. Shannon is extremely helpful and has amazing customer service skills. Shannon figured out my problem and fixed my computer within a day. I highly recommend SD Bytes to everyone who has tech problems. SD Bytes has become my go to computer repair shop. In the future if I cant figure out a problem with my tech I will only go to SD Bytes. Its hard to find someone you trust with your tech but I truly believe Shannon is a trustworthy type of person. Thank you so much for your help Shannon.

These guys went above and beyond to help me with a pc repair! Stop searching elsewhere! Go to them! Knowledgeable and trustworthy! Thank you fellas for the help today! Hard to find these days! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

I highly recommend this repair shop. They are fast, honest and very reliable. You are in good hands here.

Owner is extremely professional and reliable and kind. We will be happy to take our computer needs/electronics to him in the future.

The only place I take my computer to. They always do a great job! Save my life when my computer died on me.

Shannon is very friendly and extremely helpful! Recommended!

Build would’ve not been possible without these guys!

I had an issue with motherboard and they checked everything it and helped me get things working. much appreciated. great place to consult if your having trouble and need work done.

They were very quick the results of the diagnostics rest and we’re honest in what they found. Wonderful business would definitely recommend.

All I can say is wow! My computer wasnt working this morning during a work trip. I am presenting tonight and needed my laptop for the presentation. My laptop wouldnt turn on. I made it to SD Bytes around noon, explained the situation to Shannon and he took my laptop and said hed do what he could do but that it would take some time. Three hours later, he called me and said he was able to fix my laptop. Being relieved is a complete understatement. Shannon was able to help me with a complicated issue the same day, within a couple hours. I highly recommend SD Bytes for any of your laptop/computer issues!

I’ve been looking for a legit computer repair place for a long time, and I am so happy that the search is over. Shannon the owner is polite, professional, and goes straight to work. We had a fried external drive that needed over 80 gigs of important data extracted, and his confidence and calmness about the issue really put us at ease. All files were retrieved within a day. I recommend and refer this place to anyone a hundred fold. If you have questions, he responds in a timely manner, as well as providing updates when necessary. Thank you Shannon—superb work & exceptional service. So nice that I have a “go-to” computer guy now! Did I mention his shop is absolutely cool?

Professional, quick and a nice storefront. Will definitely go again when I need help

Throughout this COVID era all of our family laptops needed service, whether it was hard drive issues or operating system issues. SD Bytes have been awesome in diagnostics and fixes for both Macs and Windows based laptops. So glad they are close to me, but Id drive an hour to bring my stuff in.

My research of where to take my Dell laptop paid off this was an excellent place.My top needed a new power button, they were upfront with me NO ADD-ONS!! No double talk. And it was cheaper than their original quote!!- WOW-when does that ever happen !!?? They showed me the broken part - very professional .I WOULD highly recommend this shop to everyone who needs a PC fixed!! Thanks Shawn ( owner ) !!

Shannon is amazing. I have never trusted another tech so much with my computers.

Had a weird problem with my laptops battery which wasnt identified initially but Shannon put in the extra effort and made it work for me. Offered to pay him as well but he was nice enough to not charge me as it was a minor fix. The store decoration is BRILLIANT. Would come again, highly recommended !

Great service. My computer stopped booting up and I didnt want to go through the hassle of trying to figure out what was wrong. Was given a quote of $79 for a repair as long as all the hardware was good and nothing had to be replaced. It took a couple of days longer than I expected and it seemed that it was a harder repair to do than they expected but I received my computer back working great and the cost was very reasonable. I would definitely recommend using their services and I expect to be back again.

I have never written a Google review before, but the experience I had with SD Bytes was extraordinary! I lost the data on my iPhone and tried calling a dozen different data retrieval / computer repair companies for help and they all said I was out of luck... that is until I called Shannon at SD Bytes! He was so incredibly helpful, understanding of my stress, and quickly recovered all my lost data all for the most reasonable price! I will recommend him to everyone I know who has tech problems and would seriously give him 6 stars if I could.Thank you so much, SD Bytes, for your phenomenal service!!

Shannon and the location is great. They respond quickly by email, are very helpful and kind, fixed my computer within 15 minutes with no issues. I highly recommend them. 10/10

Great Service! They are fair and honest. I will definitely be using SD Bytes for more services.Had a brand new laptop screen break from dropping it. They were able to get the parts and repair in a timely manner.

SD Bytes and Shannon are fantastic. My touchscreen was cracked on my laptop and Shannon helped me figure out the right part to get for replacement and was amazingly accommodating replace the part so I could get on a plane the next day with my laptop. He also reviewed some hardware diagnostics and noted my battery was on the verge of exploding - was able to get a new battery and he installed it in a heartbeat. Thank you SD Bytes!!!

This place is awesome! I was in town and cracked my iPhone screen- he was able to fix it within 30 min. And was affordable. It looks like he can repair any computer as well! I would definitely go back here if I lived in the area!!

Shannon went above and beyond our expectations trying to help my husband and I get into our Western Digital Passport. He also installed some software on our computer that we had previously lost. He wasn’t even charging us for the diagnosis or for installing the software. We insisted and gave him some cash. That was the least we could do for all the time he devoted while we were there waiting, during the time we left it with him for a few days and on the day we picked it up. Great Service, Great Guy and very personable. We highly recommend him.Jet & Gil Adams

They are quick and easy

They fix computers professionally. Knowledgeable techs.

Shannon, the owner of SD Bytes is skilled, talented, honest and ethical. I took my 4 year old MacBook to him having read his good Yelp reviews. My keyboard was sticky, and canned air and using Q-tips and alcohol didnt help. The rest of the device works flawlessly and I love it. He saved us both time and me money by researching and informing me that my MacBook keyboard (essentially the entire top assembly) was covered by Apple via a recall. He refused to charge me anything for his help, but we had a great conversation about his wonderful space which reflects his interest in industrial antiques. Hes a guy who makes the world better. Apple will have my work done in less than 48 hours. If I ever have a need that isnt covered by warranty or recall, SD Bytes and Shannon are the only place Ill go to. I cant recommend his place highly enough.

Took my $1,300 desktop pc that I use for gaming and projects in for diagnostics on Monday after it refused to boot - they got it back to me the next day, working and cleaned up.Thats a turn around time of less than 24 hours. I call that impressive.Shannon, the owner is super friendly and easy going. His thorough inspection of my desktop revealed that my RAM sticks had gone out. They were quickly replaced and I was back on track.I was expecting a crazy cost but the price was surprisingly low for such great and quick work.Would totally take my pc here again. Definitely recommend this place.

Shannon is the MAN! Great customer service, expertise on many areas of technology, and very reasonable prices- dont go anywhere else!

Shannon is the best and so quick to get the job done. Always puts my computer back into working order. Would not use anyone else. Plus he doesnt hesitate to make home calls. I fully recommend him.

The best computer repair in San Diego. I had just build my first computer and had some hardware issues and SD bytes was very helpful and very knowledgeable. For someone who doesnt know much about computers theyre cer helpful and accommodating. I recommend them to everyone.

Something was obstructing my MacBook charger cable from fully inserting into the port, so I couldnt charge my computer. There was no visible obstruction, so after compressed air didnt help, I resigned myself to having to spend an afternoon at the Genius Bar for help. On a whim, I stopped by SD Bytes on my way to the Apple store in Mission Valley, and the owner (Shannon) resolved the problem within just a few minutes. I am so relieved! What would have taken a ton of time and inconvenience at the Apple store was done in less than 10 minutes at SD Bytes. Thanks so much. Our family will be back!

I have taken laptops iPhones and a desktop here always great service always great results at great prices. Will use again and again!

Shannon is the best. I cant believe there isnt a line out the door to get your devices repaired here. He has fixed 2 of my devices and he has saved me money and time. If you have to get something repaired go here, the best in town!

I have had the opportunity to use Shannon for both personal and business computer issues.. I Highly recommend Shannon. He is extremely reliable and most importantly honest. Thank you SD Bytes!

Life saver! Thought I lost all of my pictures and my wife wouldnt be happy about that. Was able to recover all and get us back up and running. Great owner/operator and would highly recommend

They have great customer service and their communication is on point.

I highly recommend this place for your computer repair needs. I am new to San Diego and went off google reviews trying to find a place to have my computer fixed in a pinch. I was not dissappointed! Shannon contacted me via phone soon after I dropped off my gaming desktop and diagnosed the problem. He was very friendly and easy to talk to on the phone and in the store. He even carried my computer to my vehicle for me! If I have any more issues while I am in San Diego, I will definitely be returning here!

Shannon is awesome!! Not only did he fix my MacBook he was able to upgrade my software when the Apple store said they couldn’t. And the shop looks so cool. You have to see it!!! Honest dude with honest prices

I have been bringing my Computer to these guys for a year or two. Always very easy to work with and I always feel like they did the right job for a fair price. Highly recommend.

Thank you for saving my homework! Seriously, I thought I was done for, and Shannon saved my files from a dying flash drive while on a time crunch. So awesome!

Absolutely top notch service. They go the extra mile and then some to try to solve your computer problems.

Shannon provided very personal service for my sons older Apple laptop. He put in a solid state hard drive and more memory. It was reasonable, quick and the computer is lightning fast now. My sone loves it!

I was having trouble with my computer and I took it to SD Bytes Computer Repair. Shannon, the owner, was so helpful and didnt talk down to me because I know nothing about computers. He told me what he thought was wrong with it and I left it with him. He fixed it. So a few days later I dropped my Galaxy S7 phone and cracked the back, I took it to Shannon and he fixed it. I highly recommend SD Bytes Computer Repair for any computer or phone repairs. Great guy!

Shannon is the nicest guy! I had an issue with my Macbook and the Apple store quoted me $600 to fix, which is insane because I could buy a new laptop with that much money. Anyways, my friend recommended Shannon to me and he not only quoted me hundreds of dollars less, he had it fixed within a few days. In the past, when I had the Apple Store fix something, they had to ship it out and it took a while to get the computer back and one of the times, they had forgotten a part so I had to re-ship it to them and they had to re-ship it back to me. It was a bit of a nightmare, plus an expensive one. Shannon fixed it in 3 days and even did something to it to make it run faster. He also fixes iPhones and other brands of computers as well.Honestly, Im so relieved and cant believe he helped me so quickly. I was skeptical since he was so much cheaper than the Apple Store but he did a fantastic job. He does free diagnostics so its worth coming in for a free quote. Plus, his store is pretty cool so if you have kids with you, Im sure theyll enjoy the trip.

As a digital display business, computers are critical to our success. With Shannon we are always guaranteed fast and reliable repair service. Furthermore, Shannon is always willing to listen to our computing challenges and offer solutions.

Repair was quick and staff friendly, pricing was fair.

Im not one to normally write reviews but when I have extraordinary experience at a business I feel compelled to do so.In the past I have not had a great experience with computer repair establishments. Shannon from SD Bytes Computer repair was more than exception. He fixed my Macbook Pro which I spilled a coke on in less than one day and now its working better than ever. I thought my computer was either done or a very expensive. Wow Shannon fixed it for an economical price in a few hours. I highly recommend Shannon and SD Bytes Computer repair

Shannon is the best. Fixed my computer problem and gave customer support on it until it was 100% fully working. The best!!

New iphone battery: The 6s was losing its charge quick. Took it to this shop and they installed a new battery. Works fantastic, almost like a new phone! I strongly recommend this company for your iphone repair needs!

Shannon took my water damaged MacBook Pro apart piece by piece and cleaned and dried all of it. He was AMAZING. I genuinely thought that I would have to buy a whole new one, but Shannon brought it back to life! Not only did he do a great job, he called me to update me on the laptop and made sure everything he did was okay with me. I am actually headed back today to have Shannon look at my iPad. I would 100% recommend everyone to SD Bytes!

Amazing service. Great value. Sick lounge.

Fast excellent 👌 rightly priced I was very happy

Shannon was very professional and fixed my computer issues extremely quickly! My machine is now running like it did when it was brand new! Highly recommend this place for any PC, Mac, or Mobile issues you may have!

Fantastic and expedient service! Thank you!

Had a great experience. I went into a bunch of shops trying to find the best price and I couldnt beat this deal, then to top it off my laptop was ready within a day

This place is amazing! The tech guy Shannon, always gives me the best deal. Ive shattered my iPhone screen numerous times, and even brought in my MacBook with water damage and he always fixes it for the best price and gets it back to me quickly

Amazing service and very knowledgeable. Shannon really knows his stuff, Ill never take my devices anywhere else.

I got my old laptop fixed here, the gave me a good price and were very friendly!

Best PC repair in San Diego, fast, cheap, responsible

Awesome shop, great service and prices.

Love this place, super friendly staff, good pricing, and I’m never dissatisfied when I go here to tune up my computer.

Shannon is great. He repaired my iPhone screen which I had broke, that was right before I spilt water on my MacBook. Shannon was able to repair both of them. I didnt think my MacBook could be saved after the water hit it, it wouldnt turn on at all. Not sure how he did it but he did. The best!

Top notch...! Quick and friendly. Highly recommended....

Fast excellent service...the best in San Diego!

Id like to take this opportunity to let folks know of a new neighbor in Allied Gardens who is skilled and caring when your computer breaks down and you need help. His name is Shannon Isselhardt, owner and operator of the SD Bytes, corner of Riverdale and Mission Gorge Rd., San Diego, CA. Recently, my Dell Inspiron became seriously corrupted as a result of Windows 10 involuntary updates. The entire startup button and Windows programs disappeared. The rest of the computer limped along but my operating system was defunct. I was given cost estimates of well over $100 to fix it if it was possible I opted to try SD Bytes after casually noticing their new business opening on Mission Gorge in my neighborhood. There Shannon Isselhardt carefully and caringly applied his skills and got my Dell back up and running. Windows 10 is still shot but my Dell seems to be performing better than ever with a new OS---at well below other estimates. I have found a reliable IT expert...someone I trust. He is someone you should know about.

Shannon is a true professional. Found SD Bytes on Nextdoor, and people raved about there, now I know why.

After paying $500.00 and waiting ten days to have my computer fixed by a green company, I brought my laptop into Shannon. $79.00 and one day later my computer is up and running. As far as Im concerned I no longer have to search for computer repair. Too bad Shannon cant work his wonders on the broken down system that SDUSD uses.

Shannon is very experienced and knowledgeable!

He was honest and timely

Jj

Just Amazing!

Awesome place!!

Great customer service!!
