"Called them about a network issue at my restaurant — POS kept dropping during dinner rush. They came out the same day, found the problem immediately, and installed a proper business router. Haven't had a single issue since."

"Fast, professional, and honest. They gave me a free estimate before doing any work and stuck to the price. My Xbox Series X had a broken HDMI port — fixed in under 2 hours. Highly recommend to anyone in Gilroy."
