Ramsin is an excellent communicator, diagnostician and repairman. He worked quickly and completely solved the problem (we thought the hard drive was failing - turned out to be a power supply failure, and there were other issues too on an older Windows XP Pro machine.) Ramsin is friendly, knowledgeable, and thorough. I strongly recommend him for any computer problems you might have.

I enjoy working with Ramsin. His knowledge of computers is amazing! He took care of the viruses I had on my computers, recovered data and made improvements that have them working faster and better than ever! He gives more than you expect, charges a fair price and delivers in a timely manner. That is important when you are in business and you need your computer back up and working properly. I highly recommend Santa Barbara PC Mechanic.

With the "Make It Work" misfortune still fresh in my mind, I found myself putting off the need to have my personal laptop examined and repaired. But after reading the praises of Ramsin Eivaz at Santa Barbara PC Mechanic, it sounded like there might be a reliable place in town to bring sick computers -- and that turned out to be SO true! Ramsin is a rare businessman. He's not "all about the money," but, rather, all about getting me up-and-running with maximum reliability and minimum cost. I (...)

Our home network was infected with a nasty virus that affected every computer on the network. We were dead in the water. Ramsin was able to get us back up and running within 24 hours! He was friendly, helpful, reasonably priced, and responsive. I highly recommend him for any computer issues you may have. He can help you find a solution and recommend hardware and software solutions that will get you back on track. A real gem in SB!

Santa Barbara PC Mechanic is the best. I first went to Best Buy and the techs were extremely rude and belittled me because I don't know Computer technology like they do. Ramsin is the exact opposite. He is a very honest person and an amazing technician. My hard drive failed and I didn't have any photos backed up at all! I was just plain sad to lose all my photos but especially the photos of my newborn son. ( yes i know I should back things up and I will in the future). Ramsin somehow got AL(...)

My father recommended Ramsin (the Santa Barbara PC Mechanic) to me when I needed IT help and I couldn't have been happier with his service. Having just moved to the area to start my own business I was worried how I would set up my computing and internet needs, not to mention manage the inevitable issues and miscues that may arise. I am now happy to have a "go to" PC Mechanic who I can trust and rely on for help when I need it. Not only did Ramsin help me get up and running by building me a (...)

I hope this is the last review any of you have to read about Ramsin, before you choose him, "PC Mechanic," for help!!! Because you just found "THE GUY"!!! I can't brag about him enough!!! I won't go into detail about all that he fixed, as I probably won't have enough space :) He did however, spend countless hours here! His time was also our money, and even then, the price was right!!! He not only is amazing at what he does, his sweet and humble disposition, turned our nightmare, into someth(...)

Whether it is your hard drive, motherboard, CPU, RAM, power supply, graphics card, sound card or wireless card or any other PC components, PC Mechanic has you covered. We also can provide you very sound advice before proceeding with the repairs. Sometimes I advise against repairs if I believe the computer is not worth the cost.

Virus Removal

One of our computer repair services is virus removal. PC Mechanic has more than two decades of experience in malware removal such as viruses, spyware, Trojan, rootkit, potentially unwanted software, pop-up windows both for PC & Mac. Because of our expertise in virus detection and removal, we can also offer you valuable insight in choosing the best malware and virus protection for your computer.

If the answer is yes, you have found the right computer technician to help you build your first high-performing PC with the state of the art technology. I have been building custom computers dated back to 1993. I build my first personal computer going to a computer show in Pomona, CA in 1993. It was very exciting to choose my custom components! Since then, I have been building hundreds of custom computers and have enjoyed doing so for numerous clients! I especially love the look on my clients’ face, when their custom-built computer loads in 10 seconds!! So give me a call, once I built you a PC, you will never go back!

About PC Mechanic

Hello!  My name is Ramsin Eivaz, and I am an experienced licensed computer technician and the owner of Santa Barbara computer repair “PC Mechanic.” Welcome to our website! My fascination with computers started in 1993! I started PC Mechanic in 2011 in Santa Barbara! My philosophy was to serve others and focus on their needs first, rather than my own! I wanted to start a different type of business centered first and foremost around honesty! I was sure that if I do so, I will be rewarded by referrals and the word of mouth! I wanted clients to testify for me by writing reviews for me! I was the first on Google plus with genuine 5-star reviews! So you may ask, how did you become good in computer repair? Well, I have always been very good in math, philosophy, and chess and my BA degree was in economics (math). I have always been curious about how things work and because of my background in math and analytical thinking, I have always been gifted with problem-solving! After building my first computer in 1993, I become fascinated to build computers which were fast and reliable! Well, this turned out to be one of my passions, and now I have been servicing Santa Barbara Country with computer repair in the last 7 years. The best way to know a business is to see what clients say about that business! I am proud to say that I have served thousands of people in Santa Barbara with integrity and honesty!
