Excellent service! He did an amazing job installing my dashcam and was very knowledgeable throughout the process. I also asked if he could install my phone holder, and he didn’t hesitate at all. Everything was done cleanly and professionally. Highly recommend!

Carlos is fantastic, he got our home TV system up and working again and “cleaned up” old cords that needed removing and got the speaker surround system up and working again. He was extremely professional and did exactly what I asked him to do. Highly recommend! Thank you, Carlos!!

My wife and I needed to have IP cameras installed at our home. Carlos provided suggestions for installation and installed the cameras in difficult to reach locations. He was very knowledgeable in IT, IP camera, and security. Carlos was able to troubleshoot and isolate existing bad hardware to resolve our issue. If you need someone who is reliable, knowledgeable, and professional, at competitive rates, I would highly recommend him.
