Computer Repair Services in Glendale, CA
Technoland Computer Repair is a walk-in repair shop at 320 N Verdugo Rd Ste 200 in Glendale, CA, open since 1988. Steve, the owner, performs every diagnostic and every repair himself — Mac and PC hardware, data recovery, virus removal, screen replacement, and component-level circuit board soldering. Each job begins with a flat $75 diagnostic that identifies the actual fault; that fee is applied toward your repair, and no work starts until you approve a firm price.
