About PC Mechanic:

Hello, my name is Ramsin (pronounced Rumsen) Eivaz — licensed computer technician and owner of PC Mechanic, proudly serving the greater Santa Barbara area since 2011. From day one, my goal has been simple: put the client first and provide honest, reliable service every time.

My passion for technology started in 1993 when I built my first PC from scratch. Over three decades later, that same curiosity drives everything I do. With a background in mathematics and philosophy, I bring analytical thinking and genuine problem-solving skills to every diagnosis — whether it’s a failing hard drive, a stubborn virus, or a network that won’t cooperate.

Over the past 15 years, PC Mechanic has earned the trust of thousands of local clients across Santa Barbara County. Our 486 five-star Google reviews speak for themselves — we treat every device and every person who walks through our door with integrity and professionalism.
