I was completely lost in how to setup my new business class laptop I just purchased. I am in the market to change careers and without a computer it is impossible to find another position. So I found this very professional & reputable IT firm on Google search that is based in Mesa and decided to call them . I am so glad I did... My machine was setup in an optimized & secure manner within 24 hours. They also took care of installing my virus protection / security software & MS Office licensing activation. I could not be happy with the manner this firm diffused my trepidation and fear of using this new computer for years to come. I am their newest client. Thanks again ...

Family member had a bad experience with ransom ware. We were able to get an appointment right away on a Saturday to look at the computer and get back with new hard drive the next day a Sunday with updated security and some good lessons to avoid in the future. Mike at Advanced IT Solutions was very quick to respond, very knowledgeable and put us at ease about the security of the updated computer.

Wow!! Mike was absolutely wonderful! He was extremely communicative and friendly. We brought in a very old PC that I fried the motherboard on (oops) and he fixed it up like new! Also cant beat his prices. He is definitely our new go-to computer guy. Thanks again Mike!

I couldnt be happier with the quality of work and EXCELLENT customer service that I received at Advanced IT Solutions! Our laptop needed a full factory reset and Mike was there to get us rolling and even set us up for full functionality and long term success.Not only did he restore the computer to good as new status, he pinned some really great apps to the dock and even took the time to demo all the features we didnt even know it had. He made sure we were aware of the security features and how we can guarantee the best performance possible in the future by doing routine cleaning. He also gave us some pointers on what to avoid and how to increase the devices longevity.Id definitely recommend anyone with a tech issue to check them out. You can get tech support from anywhere these days but getting great support AND awesome customer service is almost impossible to find. Ill definitely be calling Mike whenever I have any computer or IT needs!

OMG...where do I begin! I notice that the Windows 10 updates would not update on my computer. Everytime I went to setting and clicked on UPDATES & SECURITY it would disappear. After two weeks of trying to figure it out. And not getting the results needed. I did what the Microsoft Support Agent suggested and found a local repair company. Yesterday, I got up called Advanced IT Solutions. Right away Mike knew what the problem was. The turn-around time was fast. The price was beyond fair. His communication with me was AWESOME!! He educated me on what to do to keep it running. Ensured me that if I have any question to call him anytime. Did I mention the turn around time was fast. I will definitely be going back. Thank you again Mike.

As a year round college student on a veterinary medicine track, my laptop is extremely important for completing assignments in an efficient and timely manner. While in AZ on summer break from school, I noticed that my pc started lagging and my webcam became non-functional. I found Advanced IT Solutions through a search online for the closest and most affordable computer repair business, and my expectations were exceeded by the quick response time to my request, and the vast knowledge that was provided during a thorough diagnostic!Although my camera was unable to be repaired due to the wait time required for shipping a replacement part, I still received wonderful suggestions on how to bypass this issue and now feel relieved that I can move forward with presentations and online meetings with confidence! Mike is extremely knowledgeable and does all he can to help you find a resolution to any technological issues you may be experiencing, and he also makes sure he is wallet friendly as well! Luckily, Mike was able to remove several viruses off my computer although I had been paying for a well-known top tier cyber security service, and he suggested I call the company to get a refund due to the lack of security they falsely claim to have for your computer. Not only did I receive one large refund, I received TWO, and now I have security on my computer that will not require a yearly subscription. As I mentioned before, WALLET FRIENDLY services with Advanced IT Solutions! I paid for this repair on top of putting money back into my own pocket! WOW!Thank you so much Mike, for your services and the customization you added to my computer to make it special for me! You observed small pieces of my personality and used that information to go the extra mile to surprise me at pickup!I highly recommend everyone in the Valley to use Advanced IT Solutions for any computer inquiries and all technological needs! You will leave more than satisfied with your computer repairs, and your budget will thank you as well!

I was looking for another computer as I was searching Amazon. I found alot of refurbished computer, however the review made me skeptical. Thats when I remember the talk I had with Mike. I text him on 09/17/21. He responded immediately. He wasnt trying to sell me anything. He really got very detail with his questions. He just wanted to build a computer that I would enjoy. I had my kids with me Mike took the time to explain different things to them. Overall, I decide to go with someone who was/is local AND wont sell me anything. YOU just never know sometimes when your are purchasing refurbished items. Thank you again Mike!!

I was really nervous about leaving my computer, my entire business, with a stranger. Michael quickly eased my anxiety. My computer was fixed and upgraded within 24 hours. He even texted me the night I dropped the computer off to assure me everything was going great. Excellent service, communication and quick turn-around.

I woke up on a Saturday with a message telling me my laptop’s power cord is plugged in but not charging. I have a second cord, it didn’t work either so I knew something was wrong.Mike found a failing battery and a virus. He cleaned it up, replaced the battery and made the display prettier. I got it back faster and for less $$ than I thought I would.I’m very happy and would recommend Advanced IT Solutions 👌🍀💻

Advanced IT Solutions knocked it out of the park for me! I had been having laptop issues and reached out AITS to see if they could help. They were responsive from the start of the experience all the way until the end. Mike took in my laptop and worked through the weekend so that I could have my laptop back in time for work on Monday. They were friendly, professional, and prompt. They went above and beyond by not only fixing my laptop but provided exceptional service by setting up a few extras to make my life easier while working on it. They even through is a computer mouse for me! I would highly recommend this group. I dont trust many people on timelines, but they were upfront, honest, and respectful through the entire process. I will be back!

Mike was awesome! I brought my laptop in that the processor was failing and he repaired it not only so that it runs like new, but a fast turnaround time!! I had my now brand new laptop back in my possession in 24 hours! I will definitely recommend Advanced IT to whoever should need it. And will definitely be going back to do an upgrade instead of a repair. Thanks Mike!

Friday night my computer failed to start. Saturday, everything I did resulted in a failure as well. My desktop wouldnt even let me reset it! I googled for Computer Repair Services in my area and ran across Advanced IT Solutions. Mike answered really quick (on a Saturday lateish afternoon) and man, he pretty much diagnosed my computer over the phone! This is incredible because about all I know about computers is that they are fun for gaming and PC stands for Personal Computer! Little less than 24 hours later I had my baby back up and running and actually operating significantly better and faster than when I got it. He was way cool and personable, the office looked awesome and did not feel shady at all. We have all been to shady business fronts so you know what I mean! Exceeded my expectations for sure and I truly feel my PC was important for him too and thats awesome. Would recommend in a heart beat! When I picked it up I expected a quick rundown of what was done to my PC but no, he meant a real demonstration of my new and improved Desktop. Pride, honesty and dedication are hard to come by these days. You the sauce Mike! Thank you!

My laptop was going slower & slower & I thought I needed a new computer. Mike took time to educate me that all I needed was to get rid of all the sophisticated malware on my old one. So I sent the new one back & now have a perfectly reliable old computer running so much faster after Mike did what he does best with electronics.Though Mike can be talkative, he backs up his talk with thorough professional work that he guarantees.I recommend anyone with computer problems to go to Advanced IT Solutions.Thanks Mike

I couldnt get my computer to run and now its running better than ever! I got live updates on my computer as well as a call on how it was going! Not only did the fix it but they did it fast and efficiently. Also a bonus he installed a windows 7 emulator so my computers feels like its 2007 which fits my vibe. Will be coming back here for my future needs

The man, the myth, the legend (along with his wife) make an amazing team and they have been servicing the community for 16 years. Called in yesterday morning because my three year old “gaming laptop” was acting slower than a 10 year old HP and Mike was available to help right away and I brought it in an hour later and he got it back to me 24 hours after. For less than 200 dollars, my laptop was diagnosed, fixed, and I was given a wireless mouse and mouse pad and education how to prevent what I found out was malware on my laptop. Mike installed a bunch of programs that tell me my specs and clean up my computer of viruses if I ever make another mistake again. I’m off to college soon and I needed this laptop for gaming and work. Really satisfied and glad to have a new contact in the Mesa area to service my tech needs.

Mike and staff are always quick to respond when I need help with my laptop. They had also updated two of my old laptops and are now running like its brand new. My kids are pleased with their devices so they can use it for school and other projects. I highly recommend their services. The cost is super reasonable, and they offer great customer support.

Let me tell you about my experience here at Advanced IT Solutions first thing first Mike was fast at responding I mean fast and it was late Super bowl weekend too. Had me bring in my laptop super bowl day. Ask what I wanted he listen to my expectations he understood how valuable my laptop is to me. Today when I pick up didnt expect for Mike to sit there and give me a demonstration of my new and improved laptop his work and the demonstration was outstanding i was speechless and nothing was deleted he was very informational price was reasonable for what I wanted done. I wish I could give him 10 stars instead of 5 i recommend this place if you got any problems with your computer devices this the place to go so stop looking call Mike now what are waiting for he save lives Mike you the man

Mike is a life saver! After suffering through two weeks with my work website outage, my monitor went dead. I was stressed, but Mike was reassuring. He had my computer less than 48 hours and I was back up and running. Courteous and competent are words to describe this company. Thank you, Mike. I would recommend this company to everyone!

I happened to find Advanced IT Solutions as I was running errands and searching for IT help on maps. I’m SO grateful I found them. Mike was so accommodating and helpful to get me in and out with 2 fixed laptops in just about a day. He’s an IT guru but sets up and explains everything so that it actually makes sense. He’s forever my IT guy now. Also, his office is so fun and comfortable to be in

AITS has always been very truthful & honest how they maintain my personal laptop machine. As a senior citizen it is difficult to know who to trust to properly & securely service your computer to make sure it is safe to use everyday. I have worked with this IT company for 5 years since I first met them to fix my laptop that was badly infected. Highly recommended and A+ rated with BBB Diana

Took my MSI gaming laptop in yesterday to get fixed and am more than happy with the results! Only took one day, it was super quick with very reasonable pricing! Mike is a very cool guy and made me feel very welcomed as this was the first computer repair place Ive been to. Over the top customer service with great communication and my laptop works even better than it did when I had first gotten it! If youre looking for a place to fix your computers I HIGHLY recommend Advanced IT solutions! Will definitely continue to come back here without a doubt.

Purchased an HP (purchased at a local bulk store) about 2.5 years ago. It never did work well, but I adjusted as I was out of state and needed something. It locked up, I did some research and found Mike Longs business. Reviews were good, so a phone call and dropped it off within days. Mike called me the same day to deliver the news I really was expecting - the HP was a dog and needed to be put down. He proposed a ThinkPad. I accepted. Laptop, wireless mouse, software (with no renewal fees), warranty, a bag and the promise of future support ,all within days. Hes a no BS guy (which is a refreshing change), shoots from the hip and it doesnt hurt that hes a fellow New York Stater. So what are you waiting for - call him.

My laptop was dead. I was amazed at how quickly Mike was able to provide me another laptop with my valued files installed. He also installed some fun programs I wasnt familiar with and took the time to show me how they work. If you need a quick response this is definitely the place to go. It was great having Mike explain how the laptop was set up as I usually am floundering after there is any change to my computer.

I located this place from a google search and got a couple quotes from different locations that seemed more intent on my money than anything and decided to take a shot with AITS, and MAN am I glad I did!Took my tried and true Asus laptop in and not only was Mike willing to work around my schedule but we also had a great conversation instead of just in and out. Hes got both the tech and the customer service down to a science! He also gave me a better price to fix my laptop than anywhere else I had looked. I guarantee the next time Im needing work done on any of my electronics I will be going to him!Side note, but just as important..his office is awesome and not at all what I expected from an IT place. Definitely give him a shot!

Mike did an outstanding job rebuilding my outdated and failing computer. I took it in for a failing hard drive. Mike not only replaced and upgraded it, but he also upgraded my operating system, scanned everything, added all the necessary programs, and even others for my convenience. He demonstrated everything right in front of me before I even paid a dime, made sure I had no remaining questions, and did it all for a very reasonable price. Ive had the computer back for a few days now and everything is working perfectly. I would highly recommend Advanced IT Solutions to anyone needing computer service. Great job Mike and Staff.

Unprofessional to say the least, and not very Knowledgeable. Was told my computer was pretty much trash, and they couldnt wipe a hard drive... didnt really have the time, but ended up doing it my self. For someone to call a potential customers item trash was very astonishing to me, and considering my pc is a $3500 working rig which does a very good job of making me a living I wouldnt call it trash to say the least. There is way more professional and better tech support out there than these guys. Save your time and your money!Response to the owner:I got the call logs. I called April 3, 2021at 4:16pm. Spoke to Mike.Anyone wanna see the call logs just comment. Also sending this to the BBB. Ill remind you once again who I am. Needed a hard drive wiped, didnt have time. It had more than one edition of windows on it, and I dont care about not receiving service again! Made that clear, and you refused me service the first time if you actually read the comment. Also you would remember our call, if you didnt spend the whole time insulting me on the phone...No worries we will see what the BBB says about your Established and Professional buisness

I took a year break in school, and when going back I had to take a placement test. When finally using my computer after a about a year (and saldy allowing my family to use it), it was a mess. Very slow and my speakers didnt work. Going into a complete panic because school is completely online now and I started in 3 days. I found these guys on Google, sent a request at 11pm and I got a call by 8am the next morning. Mike called and was very nice, covered all my concerns, insured me he would fix my computer in less than 24hrs, he also gave me a concrete price that was very reasonable, and ensured he wouldnt do any extra work until I approved it. While fixing it i got text updates and it was awesome being included. 24hr hours later I had a brand new laptop, working and looking better than when I bought it. I couldnt have been more happy. Now I have a lifetime IT spot for all my issues. Go to them, you wont be disappointed!

I was in need of a professional computer repair service and found this highly rated local computer repair shop not far from my home. I called the published office telephone number to schedule a drop off and from the very start i was extremely impressed with AITSs ability to communicate effectively and service my personal laptop machine in an efficient and optimal manner at a fair price. They setup the security on my device better than I ever ran it before and I will pay no renewal fees into the future. As a senior citizen I am reliant on my laptop for many purposes. They were even able to configure Zoom on my laptop and show me how to use the webcam for upcoming telemedicine conferences I will conduct with my doctor. This firm was very good and I would certainly refer them to friends & family.. Thanks guys for the great work .

Brought in an MSI gaming laptop that had frozen up due to overheating issues. The laptop was on its last leg and I was desperate for a fix. I showed up with no appointment and Mike got me right in! We sat and chatted about what the issues could be and he gave me a full breakdown on how best to proceed.The repairs the laptop needed to get it running again turned out to be greater than anticipated, but Mike worked within my budget to make sure Id be satisfied with the machine when it was returned. He was communicative throughout the whole process and put me at ease.When I picked up the laptop I was blown away!! It was like a brand new machine. Not only was my laptop running at peak performance, Mike and his team also optimized it for its intended use and even added upgraded security software and some personal touches that showed me how much he truly understands the needs of his customers. He also provided a full demonstration and tutorial on the upgrades made to the machine. He even hooked me up with a laptop bag!Advanced IT solutions and Mike will be my go to for all my tech needs in the future. Mike is very knowledgeable and knows how to treat his customers! If youre looking for computer repairs this is the place!

I am very happy with my experience and with how professional Mike is, I filled out a form through the AITSaz.com website explaining my issues with my MSI laptop and Mike reached out to me the next morning, i brought it in a day after that and later he provided me with a quick update letting me know that they were able to find and fix my laptop’s hardware and OS corruption issues, and right away I felt relieved! Thanks again Mike and AITS Tech team you sure know how to provide great service, both technical AND personal! Also, the demo was very informative and I was even introduced to some programs that were installed into my laptop to keep it running smooth and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience, thanks for going the extra mile I can tell you guys are very passionate about leaving your clients extremely satisfied, well done!

Mike over at Advanced IT was awesome. I called in not knowing much about computers. He was more than knowledgeable and patient with the problems I was having with my custom gaming rig. He hooked it up and went above and beyond. He was able to pinpoint the problem and explain exactly what it was he did. He exceeded my expectations and Ill definitely be a returning customer.

My computer quit working so I bought a new computer and transferred my pictures and documents from my external hard drive only to discover the backup was bad and I had lost most of my pictures and documents. Advanced IT was able to get into my old hard drive before it died completely and retrieve all my pictures and documents!

Mike did an amazing job with my computer and went beyond my expectations. I had been frustrated for almost 2 weeks with the performance of my computer and people would tell me to just buy a new one. I finally googled Advanced IT solutions and called late on a Sat. afternoon. Mike answered right away and told me to bring it by within an hour which was 6:00 pm. He then recommended some things to help and he had my computer back to me by Mon. morning as I needed it for my work. I felt all the stress from the last 2 weeks as he had added some features that made it easier to navigate. He recognized the value of my computer and how I did not need a new one. I highly recommend Advanced IT solutions for your IT needs.

We had been having computer issues for a while. After ignoring the issues for a while we were finally unable to use the computer. We called Advance IT to schedule an appointment. We were able to drop off the computer in a couple of hours and got it back in a short period of time. The computer issues are gone and it works great.As we were discussing the computer issues we also discussed our old computer which was 12 years old and still using windows 7. We decided to purchase a computer to replace our old computer. The new computer is great and all our old files were transferred to the new computer.We are glad we decided to have Advanced IT work on our computer. The cost of the repairs and the new computer was a great value.

AITS is very skilled at fixing computers. However, there is a serious ethical issue with the owner, Mike, and the extortion scheme he participates in to secure discounted inventory for his business. He purchases products online, then strong-arms sellers into providing him the products he purchased at a discount, while refusing good-faith attempts at customer service. When his attempts at bullying a vendor into a discount are unsuccessful, he resorts to middle school-level name calling, throwing about remarks such as “moron” and “cow”. Do you feel comfortable giving your business to a “professional” who conducts business in such a way? There are plenty other IT businesses that don’t act in this manner that are far more worthy of my money.

The manner and speed that they were able to replicate my old failing laptop to a very handsome business class Dell laptop upgrade replacement occurred much faster than I imagined. The device they provided me had all my software & data structures properly migrated and cleaned up on a machine 4 times as fast as my old machine with a long term extended warranty. I struck gold with these guys and so will you if you decide to work with them. Highly recommended! Thanks Mike for all you did ..

Teaching online has been both rewarding and stressful, but when I was suddenly locked out of my computer and my usual go to computer people could not help, the stress level soared! That is when I learned about Advanced It Solutions. Mike and his team reacted immediately. There was no hesitation. He accepted the challenge on a Saturday, kept me posted on Sunday, and had the situation resolved on Monday. He was also available through the week as I adjusted to the changes. I could not have asked for more attention to the problem and more efficient and effective service. If you need immediate help and you want someone who is totally knowledgeable and competent, go to Advanced IT Solutions!!!

I decided to Google computer repairs and AITS came up at the very top of the list and their many 5 star reviews stood out to me immediately. Long story short I decided to call them and now im very happy because they repaired my machine beyond my expectations and provided me a detailed demo of work performed when I went to pickup device at their very nice & professional office in Mesa.

Dont take your computer anywhere else! Mike and his crew are extremely professional and honest. I have had my Gaming Rig for 6 years and really never trusted anybody touching it. I had some hardware issues that were just beyond me. I called up Advanced IT Solutions and in minutes I was feeling confident that this was the place to work on my computer. When it was time to pickup, Mike sat down with me and went over all the repairs and showed me all that he had done. I was blown away by the professionalism and knowledge of Mike and his team. If in the future I ever have a need for expert IT, Mike will be the first person I bring my rig to. I Highly Recommend.

Review №57

UPDATE: Scroll past the good reviews. According to many, he hacks into google accounts from the people who bring in their computers and then writes a good review from their account, and then responds to the fake review he posted himself. Dont believe it? Scroll down and find all of those who have had that experience. Also, check out his response to my original post. Basically, any legit review that he hasnt fabricated after hacking into your computer is a pretty bad review, and his responses tell you all you need to know. By the way, its all Mike, theres no team.ORIGINAL POST:My experience: I have a 2012 MacBook Pro that was having issues as of late and had a buzzing sound coming from the computer and the power seemed to be waining when shutting off. Called and got ahold of Mike and in a harsh voice, he immediately asked me, Who is this? I told him and then he said, Oh, I thought you were another customer. Guessing it was someone he clashed with recently and who wasnt happy with him. After my experience, Im guessing this might be a common theme.I explained my issue to Mike and literally within a minute he seemed to have it all figured out. Told me I somehow must have gotten a virus, Macs dont last forever, and that his professional advice would be to replace the computer. He then recommended I trade my computer in to him for another computer he could provide me with that was a little newer and with similar specs as mine, but at just half the cost Id spend on a new computer. He quoted me $1500.Odd he could give me all kinds of brilliant professional advice after only hearing about a minute of an explanation and having never seen or diagnosed my actual computer. I told him Id seen plenty of similar computers on OfferUp that matched the description of what he was offering me, but at half the cost of his quote. He told me if I did that I would simply be inheriting the problems from the previous owner. My thought - isnt that what YOU do? Fix computer with issues? But apparently Mike has super powers - he knows all other computers being sold come with issues that would account for that additional $800 Id have had to pay for his computer compared to those I could find elsewhere. After my OfferUp comment, his tone became condescending and belittling and essentially told me he couldnt help me. Weird, he markets as a computer repair guy, but I didnt hear him mention or allude to computer repair or diagnosis once. Not even a suggestion of it if I were to buy another computer elsewhere. I think its fairly obvious why ... read below ...Bottom line: I never took my computer to him. I did find a quality computer repair service and trustworthy individual who diagnosed my computer and fixed it for $120. Runs like a champ now. If Id gone with Mike, I would have paid him $1500 for a computer (Id guess he bought somewhere else for maybe $500-600 and then done some basic repairs or change of parts that might total $150) I could have gotten at less than half the price. Wonder what he would have done with mine? Fix it and sell it for $500-600 Id guess. Great payday - Im guessing if I had walked unsuspectingly into that little scenario, it would have netted Mike somewhere around $1200-1500 in total. Far better than doing repair work on my system and only making a couple hundred bucks (or if competing with the other gentleman who fixed my computer, $120).I deal with companies and business owners all the time and havent felt a need to write a negative review. Mike earned this one. Sounds like hes just looking for naive computer-illiterate individuals to take advantage of.Buyer beware.

I first met Mike when my fathers computer kicked the bucket. He was very nice to my father and took the time to go step by step with the new interface to insure he knew how to use his new computer with no problems. Fast forward about 7 months and my computer of 10 years finally fried itself. My first though was to contact mike for a new rig. He worked fast and I had a newly built computer within 48 hours. My father and I wont use anyone else, thanks Mike!

Alright Im not one to sit here and write reviews that often but I had to for Advanced It Solutions! I needed my hard drive to be replaced on my laptop and after weeks of searching, I decided to take a chance here. When I called, Mike was happy to help me out, listening to what I experienced with my laptop and able to give me a quick estimate. When I went to the office, Mike was super friendly and promised to rebuild my laptop as brand new! He texted later that day to come in the next day to pick up my laptop which genuinely surprised me. When I came in the next day, Mike showed me what he did and he exceeded my expectations. He gave me more memory space on my laptop, had a Windows 7 emulator for easier accessibility on Windows 10, and even threw in a wireless mouse because he knew I used my laptop for school! My goodness, Mike definitely exceeded my expectations! If I have any issues with my laptop, I know where I am going! If you need your PC to be fixed, please trust when I say Advanced IT Solutions is for you! Thank you Mike! I really appreciate everything youve done!

Mike is a great guy! From the first day he was able to detect what needed to be fixed and handled it expeditiously. The service was terrific. He was able to fix my MacBook Air in a timely manner and its running like a new MacBook. Will definitely return if any of my technology devices need fixing. Thanks again Mike.

Mike @ Advanced IT Solutions got me back up to speed in a very short time! My computer would not start. Since I am a business owner that DEPENDS on my computer, I was stressed handing over my computer to fix/update. I have very sensitive data and could not just hand it over to anyone! Mike went above and beyond, did everything he said he could do, was reliable, trustworthy and upfront with the costs. VERY REASONABLE price!! I could not recommend more! Advanced IT Solutions is the real deal and I highly recommend their services.

Mike and his team are absolutely fantastic!! My laptop was really slow and not completing any updates so I reached out to Mike and he took care of it quickly. I dropped my laptop off on a Friday and less than 30 minutes later, he called me to explain what was wrong with my laptop and ask for my approval to fix the problems. Not only did they charge me a reasonable price for their service, they also completed the work fast. My laptop was ready to go on Monday. When I went to pick it up, they even gave me a wireless mouse and a mouse pad! They are a topnotch team and I will definitely be recommending them to family and friends.

This company is the most professional, service oriented and thorough it company i have ever used. Explanation of services rendered, and additional operating advice as well as additional useful information were imparted when my laptop was picked up. Special scheduling was set up to accommodate my work schedule, being that i was on a business trip. other it repair firms that i contacted would only fit me into their schedule. I highly recommend ADVANCE IT SOLUTIONS!

Mike and his team are fantastic and took great care of us. My wifes work/school laptop refused to boot up so we brought it to Mike...on a Sunday. Yes, hes open on Sunday, when Geek Squad and several other local repair shops wouldnt have availability for nearly a week. Mike worked with us on figuring out the best solution.Thanks!

In our own small business with highly trained professionals....who do not know how to fix computers (we fix bodies), it is great to have discovered a resource with hard working and skilled people who can work on our computer tech issues.

Had a problem updating my MAC. Called Mike at Advanced IT and explained the problem I was having. He told me to bring it in and he would see what the problem was. The next day he called that the problem was fixed. When I picked up the computer it worked just like new. Thank you Mike and his team.

I tried to build my own PC and I couldnt quite get it to work (would not connect to my monitor) so I gave Mike a call and he said he would look at it for me, fast forward a little bit and I got it to him and he said he would fix it for me and call me if he ran into troubles before starting to fix it again. He was very professional and was able to get it to me the next day. He showed me how to setup everything and even walked me through what each program he added did. Im amazed at how fast this was able to be done and how amazing the machine looks! I would recommend Mike to any of my friends in the Mesa/Gilbert area, its definitely worth driving down to Mike to see what he can do.

Mike, Rebecca, and Diego are an all-star team. I lost 4TB of precious photos. My hard work and some precious family memories were stored on a 4TB drive and I thought it was gone forever. One call to Advanced IT Solutions changed it all!!! The all-star team at IT solutions spent about a month working tirelessly on the data recovery. They were able to recover all of my photos in the same folders and format that I had the photos stored in. The new photos were placed on a new 8TB hard drive and formatted for a MAC. I am so thankful for such reputable business that is provided at Advanced IT Solutions.

I received top-shelf professional help with restoring all data possible from a damaged 11 year old 500mb hard drive. The data was restored almost flawlessly as far as that goes-and it was also carefully orgainzed and written onto a new external HD of course. It was also the professionalism of Mike, and his staff, that enabled it to be done in the right sequence and time-frame. I was very regularly updated with everything I needed to know - they were all very knowledgable and pleasant to work with. High Recommendation.

Mike and Aubry did an outstanding job of bringing two of my computers back to life. The personal demos of each machine were very helpful to understand the care and attention they took to provide an excellent level of service. I just wished I had called them months earlier when I started having problems. Would have saved myself time, trouble and $$. Nice work Advanced IT.

Mike is the man! My hard drive went kaput on me and I needed to get my trusted desktop up and running again. Mind you, my desktop is a 9 year old IMac. I googled computer repair shops around my area and came across Advanced IT Solutions. I gave them a ring and Mike answered the phone. I told him what had happened and just from the little information I gave him he diagnosed the problem and presented me with amazing quote. I brought my desktop in on a Tuesday and picked it up the next day. The upgrades are amazing and the computer runs like a dream. I’m new to Arizona and I’m lucky to have found my new computer guy. Thanks again, Mike and staff. You guys were wonderful!

Went in to have a screen replaced, not a cheap repair. The tech caught a loose wire and ended up saving me quite a bit of money. I will gladly go here again for any repairs in the future!

I called to inquire about the company, when I called there was no answer. However they did call me back promptly even though I had not left a message (Ill give a star for that). I attempted to explain what I was looking for, but before I could get a sentence spoken, the gentleman I was speaking to said he wasnt interested and to loose the number, loose the number, then he hung up on me. Without letting me finish a sentence.So I believe that I will loose the number.

I contacted AITS since the company I work for was having people change to work remotely. My laptop was not up to the task, running so slowly, and I needed a machine that I could rely on to be able to do my job. Mike immediately got me an appointment for me to drop off my laptop with him the next day. He was extremely knowledgeable and was able to replace the hard drive, upgrade me to Windows 10, and build me a customized computer that has everything I need. He took a 10 yr old computer that was acting as a paper weight and made it brand new again. It runs like a dream! Beyond that he provided prompt service, making sure that he got everything done right away so I could get back to work immediately and not miss any work. Thank you!

I recently purchased a like new refurbished Toshiba laptop from AITS. I was extremely satisfied with the level of personalized IT support service that they provided to assist me to feel comfortable with the day to day usage of the device. They also helped me setup my Gmail account and to embed the passwords to make it easy to use. Highly recommended Thanks.. Kevin..

We were having severe security issues with our Dell All in One PC machine recently and located Advanced IT on Google as a local very reputable IT vendor. Once we called their hotline number they were extremely professional in diffusing my anxiety and provided me a very cost effective budget to fully repair and resecure my coveted machine for daily use into the future within 48 hours. From this point forward AITS is my trusted computer services provider in the East valley... Thanks again.

There are truly not enough great things that I can say about Advanced IT Solutions. Mike, as an owner, is one of the most caring individuals to work with. The team and culture that he has created make their services second to none. Diego has quickly become a part of our companys team and has taken the time to understand our needs - he knows what we need before we do. If you are a small business owner, you NEED to have these folks on your side. Response time, knowledge and patience are three things that stand out above all - all for a price thats unbeatable.

I’m so glad I found Mike and his crew. From the first phone conversation and meeting I felt I was treated as a long time friend. Mike is so knowledgeable and honest. He was true to his word at every step and explained everything in a way that I could understand. I was 100% satisfied with the whole experience. They exceeded my expectations. I wouldn’t go anywhere else. The lovely girls in his office are amazing as well. They all knew so much and went above and beyond. I don’t know much about computers but Advanced IT Solutions sure does. I recommend them to anyone with any technological issues. Thank you guys!!!!

Went in to get a simple assessment. Over the phone, everything seemed great. The problems arose when I walked into the store and the owner was standing, with his arms sticking out in a way as to appear as if he was crucified, halfway between the desk and doorway. I thought it was weird but Ive seen worse. Then as I got closer to him he started chanting in tongues at me while spaghetti noodles began to pour out of every orifice on his body. When I was finally able to process what was going on, the chanting stopped and he stared blankly into my eyes and called me the N-word. Thats where I draw the line. Never doing business with this establishment ever again!

Mike made the whole experience so seamless. I am absolutely technologically impaired when it comes to change. Mike set up the new computer as close as he could to the way my old computer was set up. I was worried that I would not be able to access parts of my computer with the same ease as I had. Not to worry though, Mike did an awesome job at an awesome price. My second computer through Mike and Advanced IT Solutions and I will return for a third one in 6 years or so.

There are not enough words to explain how I appreciate this company. Mike is the owner and he is such an awesome, kind, dependable courteous, and professional person. Mike took my old laptop and put all my information on another laptop. It was not very expensive, very reasonable. I would recommend him to anyone who needs to have their computer worked on. When I first walked in I was greeted with a friendly smile from the lady behind the desk. She also very friendly and courteous. Thanks Mike for all you do.

I am a student and my laptop stopped working unexpectedly, (it wouldnt turn on because there was an issue with my cooling fan). I decided to take it into AITS for a check up. The owner, mike, surpassed my expectations; he gave me a reasonable quote to replace the battery and cooling fan as well as fix some software issues, and he stuck to that price. He kept me updated through phone calls for every step of the process, and he finished the job on the date he said he would (it took less than a week to order all of the parts, install them, and fix the software issues). I appreciated the honest price and the fact that he had gotten the laptop back to me fairly quickly (as a student i use the computer daily so it was nice to get it back within the week).Overall i had a great experience and i would trust Mike with any future repairs i need on the computer.

Had my laptop hard drive failing and any warranty repair would require up to 14 days for them to authorize any repair or replacement. As a business owner, no way could I be without my computer for that long for an answer and then the time to replace/repair it. I called Mike, gave him a quick idea of what I was dealing with and he sent a quote for repair. I looked at the quote and then dropped the computer off later that day as I decided to just pay the repair cost and then deal with the warranty coverage. Mike replaced the drive and had the computer ready to pickup by the next afternoon, on New Years day no less. Quick service, reasonably priced, worth it to have the repair done and the computer ready to reinstall all the data when I got it back home.Thanks again!

IF I COULD GIVE 0 STARS, I WOULD. This place is a scam for people who dont know computers at all. As a Gamer, I have enough skills and knowledge to fix most of my own issues, but aside from writing customer reviews for his own company on clients laptops, read along to see further why this place is a BLATANT SCAM!The owner will TAKE ADVANTAGE OF YOU and complain in the reviews, but if you just read these facts, you can determine for yourself what kind of loser this owner is. 1st off, they say theyre open until 11pm, but we just drove over to this place at 6pm on a Friday and doors were locked. The shop is NOT OPEN that late, but no big deal I guess. So we called to see if they could look at my hard drive the next day since the computer wasnt booting right and when I ran my own diagnostics, it said HDD bay2 was malfunctioning. THE TECH BLATANTLY LIES and says, Any work on an Hard drive requires a complete overhaul of the system. The second I questioned this and told him that it might just be the connection thats damaged and he should probably look at it, he went full PSYCHO mode and accused me of being unprofessional for calling him out. I told him that if its just the HDD that needs replacing I can do it, but I need to make sure its not the connection that got damaged. Before I could even get a quote,, he ASSUMED I wanted it done for free and said his company was INCAPABLE of helping. Not because they didnt want to, but because they couldnt and didnt know how. I double-checked to make sure it was because they didnt know how and not because they didnt want to. The unprofessional tech said with glee, Yep! We dont know how to do it!So either these losers are scam artist looking for people who dont know computers to scam, or they are far too incompetent to repair a Hard Drive. Either way, SAVE YOUR MONEY and go somewhere else!P.S. The owners responses to legitimate concerns should also be noted before EVER coming here again including w/e terrible excuse he comes up with here.

I have taken an outdated 2011 MacBook in to get updated, cleaned out, proper security installed, in order to get it running again. It works like it is brand new again. I have also recently purchased a refurbished 2017 iMac elsewhere. I brought it in to have Microsoft Office installed along with the security software. Advanced IT Solutions is trustworthy, professional, timely and friendly. I now have 2 older Macs that I saved a bunch of money on by having Advanced IT update rather than buying new. I would highly recommend their services.

This locally based east valley IT firm was very professional in the manner in which they handled my laptop replacement & data recovery operations from an unfortunate water spillage incident that occurred over this past weekend. They provided me a superior replacement business class Lenovo laptop that included a long term AITS provided extended warranty with my purchase. I have had numerous bad experiences with both Best Buy & Data Doctors in the past, so I am thrilled to finally have a reliable established IT firm for my future computer issues. Highly recommended.. Thanks... Jim U.

In the middle of an important project, my computer crashed, so I searched Yelp! and picked Advanced IT Solutions to do the repair. It was very helpful in m decision-making process to be able to speak directly with Mike, the owner. He was able to diagnose the issue quickly and accurately, and he provided a competitive quote for the job. In less than one day, my computer was fixed and ran better than it ever had before. Mike took the time to show me all the upgrades that had been installed and answer all my questions. I was so impressed that I decided to bring my wifes computer to Mike to improve its speed and capabilities.

I was very hesitant in giving my computer to just anyone but it was past due to get checked out before a major crash occurred. Mike was reassuring of everything and made it very easy for me to trust in him. He listened to everything I said regarding my computer, my situation, and my expectations. He was up front and honest about cost, what he would be doing, and didnt try to sugar coat anything. I am very grateful for the work that he did and the man that he is. Not only did he help with the problem, he set my computer and myself up for success and now I have an IT guy I can always count on with my computer.
