I had a terrible experience with this man. When he was unable to assist me with a particular problem, he became very irate and started yelling at me. I asked him to lower his voice and he stated he could do whatever he wanted to in his shop. I told him I did not feel safe with him yelling and flipping out and he just made fun of my request for calmness and professionalism. I later received a long string of text messages from him which were both insulting, unprofessional and unnecessary. He also made it clear in these messages that he does not value the safety of his patrons, only that they pay him. Please go somewhere else if you care about your well being.
Well it compromises
Tegan watch the price
It took a while,
And team Recojen Hora This cash to pay them.
That place is really a fraud
Look for another place
Bad place
I don't care how "smart" the guy is (I could do this too if I wanted, but I like my current job much better)- he is rude and a horrible business man. Tells people they can text, but won't tell what is available- not interested in
wasting time/money driving for overpriced stuff I don't want. Then is rude as heck. People are suckers if they think there's no better place to get/repair a computer.
The individual that runs this company (Steven Salemi) frequently promotes miss information and conspiracy theories about how wi-fi is dangerous and deadly on local community boards. Anyone with an ounce of knowledge about computers would know that these are ridiculous claims. I would not trust this company with a tamagotchi.
Shortly after we arrived, Guru started screaming profanities at a middle aged woman computer client and continued shouting the whole time he followed her to her car. He said that she knew absolutely f-ing nothing about computers and was f-ing wasting his time, and she needed to f-ing get out of there. She went to her car wordless, clutching her computer to her chest. I have anger management issues myself, so I left as fast as I could, but I still wish I had done something. If you were the woman client and you are reading this, I apologize to you that I didn't step in. Rude, abusive, scary and foul mouthed. Scaramucci? Nope. Computer Guru.
These bad reviews are kind of unbeleavable..
The Computer Guru is a really nice and helpful guy. I like that he charges by job and gives free diagnoses. Other places would charge me $80+ just to tell me my old laptop is fried.
If I have any issues with my new system, I'll probably go to him. He seems like a realiable man that knows what he's doing.
Definitely the most amusing Google review comments I've seen! Like many really smart people (think Steve Jobs) Steven Salemi doesn't suffer fools or bargain-hunters kindly and his shop is disheveled. Many people consciously or unconsciously treat service providers like servants and their tone of voice reflects this. Steven won't tolerate that kind of bullsh*t for a second. My advice to potential customers is to go to his shop (with or without your computer) and directly speak with him. He does regard phone calls as a nuisance, as you can tell from his VERY long voicemail message. My other advice is not to call him looking for a bargain on a $5 cable. You won't get far. Steven is a pleasure to work with and quite witty and entertaining -- and he knows his stuff like few other techies I've met. He could have easily gotten a six-figure salary to be a creative drone at a big tech company but Steven is a man who marches to his own drummer. He will tell you forthrightly if he can't help you. I can't comment on his prices overall but I bought a very fast computer that he had built for a reasonable price. He was very patient and attentive to my numerous texts about my needs and issues as I was setting it up.
The guy is an arrogant *ss and should not run a business. He told me "Go back where you came from...". I'm Jicarilla Apache.
This guy is the worst, an arrogant a hole who thinks he knows it all and has no standard customer service skills. Rude, jerk who probably has family money since he couldn't care less about doing actual business. I couldn't imagine ever wanting to give this guy a dime for his time. Shop was a mess just like his personable skills. Apparently this guy used to be Steve Jobs lover, since he knows all the ins and outs of, not only apple products, but about all the people who buy them. For anyone who is looking to buy and/or resell apple products, don't go to him to try and find any deals, he only wants to buy and sell the newest models. He is a Pompous, Rude, Inconsiderate, Condensending, Knavish shop owner, and if you still can't understand how he is, take the first letter of each of those five words and you get what he truly is.
Computer guru is awsome . He helped me with my Toshiba laptop .very knowledgeable if you need any help with software or hardware .
Rude with no customer service skills.This man should NOT be in business. Utter lack of listening ,self centered,grandiose.Lord,help him.
Computer guru is the best in santa fe I dont see how there could be negative reviews on here there honest fair and have the best knowledge about the computer world I will keep coming for ANY computer needs
I have been doing business with Steven Salemi for over ten years. His prices may not be the lowest but he knows computers. Most times I get my computer back the same day when he services it. I fondly think of him as a wacky genius.
