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 11 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! I invite you to read a few testimonials about us! My promise to you is that I will do what is best for you, and provide you with professionalism, honesty, and fast service!
