Mid 2012, Chris transferred to Cal State Chico to pursue his Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, and is now working as Lead Systems designer for a company in Monterey, CA. The business is now solely owned and operated by Kyle Newton.

Travis came to my office and helped me with transferring files to my new computer. He was totally competent and efficient in getting my computer up and running in no time. Service was very reasonably priced, Travis was on time and professional and he was able to communicate with me in plain English. Highly recommended service! Thanks Travis and SQN!

I am so pleased with your Tech Travis. He responded to my phone message yesterday promptly, came to my home when he said he would be here. I can not express how happy I am that he fixed everything to my satisfaction in a very timely manner. My computer is faster, everything is like new again. Thanks for Travis my anxiety of trying to figure this out on my own is gone! Price was more than reasonable and I will never hesitate to call for his help again! Great service!

My Amazon and Apple Account were hacked and I had malware ads constantly invading my MAC computer. I called SQN for someone to come to my house and assist me. Someone contacted me that day (Friday) and set up an appointment for the following Monday. Travis showed up and went straight to work on my computer. Within an hour, all the malware problems were gone and my Amazon and Apple accounts were up and running. The hourly price was extremely reasonable. I will definitely be calling them in the future.

Really, I could not be more pleased with SQN Tech! Kyle has been at my house before to repair a broken laptop. I confess, I broke it, but Kyle fixed it. That was a couple years ago, but my laptop is still my number one, go-to computer here at the house, so I'm thrilled I can still use it. Today, SQN was back to install my new printer. Not only can I print from my laptop, but Travis set it up so I can print from every "electronic" in my house!
That sounds silly, but I can print from my phone, and I have been wanting to do that for months! My bad, I should have called SQN sooner. Travis was here for about 20 minutes, it was so easy for him. I would have spent all day and pulled out half of what's left of my hair. Travis charged me the minimum hour required, sixty bucks. I'm telling you, ladies and gentlemen, CALL SQN FOR RELIABLE, FAST AND FRIENDLY SERVICE. Like I said, I could not be more pleased!

I called SQN on a Sunday and Kyle returned my call that same day. Their business model is to come to your location and fix the problem on the spot, when that's possible. It turned out I didn't need SQN's services and had solved my internet connection issue after 2 long phone calls to Xfinity. I highly recommend Kyle and SQN. They will be the first one I call to the rescue when my next tech "crisis" arises.

Daniel was our tech and he was great. He was timely and professional while taking care of multiple computers. My laptop is running much faster and everything was successfully transferred from an older laptop. I would recommend SQN to anyone and wouldn't hesitate to call them in the future for any computer repair needs.

I was very impressed with Kyle's ability to expeditiously resolve a gnarly problem with my laptop. I had been attacked by malware, and the cost estimate from the "attacker" was $250 to bring me back online. Kyle's assessment and repair was FAR less than that, and was done within the hour. In addition, I got helpful information to avoid this problem in the future. I highly recommend this service!

I found Kyle several years ago while searching for an in-home computer tech. From day one he has always fixed my issues, which have been numerous. He always has a solution, advice, input and extremely helpful if you don't understand something (which I don't!). He works hard and has the knowledge and expertise to solve your issues or he'll figure out a way. I highly recommend him. And.thanks Kyle, you're the best!

Forget Geek Squad. Hands down the most knowledgeable, reliable, dependable, trustworthy and fastest service in the Tri-Valley. From Hardware to Software to IT, Kyle stays abreast of the latest technology. If you need to make a quick decision and don't have the time to research every gadget or piece of software on the market, you can trust Kyle to steer you in the right direction. Based on his recommendation, we purchased and had him install a RAID NAS which we couldn't be happier with. Very reasonable prices and excellent customer service. He really cares about taking care of his customers.

I have a limited skill set with fixing problems with my computer. I found Kyle about two years ago based on yelp reviews and have used Kyle for things such as system restoration after a bad a virus invasion, replacement of a failed hard drive, installation of my new wireless router repair of a broken on/off button (I'll never buy HP again) and expansion of memory.
He is very responsive, makes house calls or can do remote access and is very fair in his prices. He comes out in a few days; when parts were needed he got them overnight and returned within a day to complete the repair. He made sure I saw all my options on parts and pricing and worked to keep repair costs down. He is very knowledge and on several calls, through questioning me about the issues, has identified the most likely cause of the problem prior to the home visit which has resulted in a more timely repair.
My son is in the IT business, building/servicing computers and he has been very pleased with all the work that Kyle has done for me. I would highly recommend using SQN Tech Computer Solutions if you want a repair done right, timely, and cost effectively.

I found Kyle on the internet 3 years ago when I was having computer issues both on my desktop and laptop. He came to my home and immediately knew what the problem was. When he quoted me a price to repair the issues. I was shocked. Not only was he quick.he was extremely reasonable and a pleasure to have in my home. I will never go to anyone else but Kyle for any computer repairs. SQN Tech will have my business forever!

I tried to add Windows 10 to my 3.5 year old HP Laptop. I ended up with a blank screen. I called a number of computer repair shops and was told repair costs and reconstruction labor would come close to the cost of a new Laptop. Based on this feedback I purchased a new Laptop from Best Buy for $430. Since I needed someone to load the files from my old computer I called Kyle since me experience with the other shop was marginal. Kyle came to my house and determined he could reconstruct me old computer for around $80. he took it home and two days later had it working as good as the new computer I just purchased. I was able to return it to Best Buy and save around $350. I highly recommend Kyle.

Kyle has restored my faith in his service. I bought a new fan, Kyle installed free of charge. I never checked back in yelp to see if he responded. I learned today when he came to my home to replace the fan, I asked how much do I owe you, he said free, no charge. Then he proceeded to let me know he responded to my comment that I never saw before today. Kyle is absolutely the best in town.
He never said one thing about my yelp comment until the very end. Truly I was embarrassed but he was very cordial and we exchanged comical responses. I truly enjoyed our very first visit. I was just upset that the fan only lasted two months. Had I checked back with yelp this would have been resolved long ago. In the mean time I used either my pc or Ipad. So happy my laptop is functioning again. Yes of course I tipped Kyle. Thank you again Kyle.

Just had Kyle come by and fix my laptop. Unbelievable service! First he tried helping me over the phone. When that didn't work we set up a time that worked for me and him to come to my home. He even called telling me he was going to be a few minutes late. After 2 hours it's good as new. His prices are beyond fair! He's a very competent and engaging person. I would/will recommend him to anyone that needs computer work.

I had Kyle come over to replace my laptop screen. He had to fix the back of my laptop, reassemble the new screen and Wi-Fi wires, and reattach the back to the laptop. Unfortunately, the replacement screen I'd ordered off eBay was a dud, and he couldn't get it to work - so my laptop isn't 100% yet. However, he walked me through the process of ordering a screen from a more reliable seller, and showed me how to install the screen myself so he wouldn't have to charge me for labor again.
He apologized for not being able to fix it, but since it wasn't his fault, but the screen's seller, I had no problem. Kyle was very courteous and knowledgeable throughout the whole process. I would definitely recommend him, and in fact I'll be having him come back soon to look at our family's slow desktop. Great customer service!

I started working with Kyle a few months ago after finding him on Yelp and could not be more pleased. I run a plumbing company and am hopelessly dependent on my computer (like more than air). He has set up hardware for me as well as done trouble shooting. I was in a situation today with a browser issue that had essentially shut down my business. One 5 minute phone call with Kyle and. CRISIS AVERTED! It's so nice to have a "go to" person (Paid Nerd -as I affectionately refer to him- sorry Kyle! (-: ) that I can depend on who is readily available, extremely responsive and great at what he does. His rates are also very reasonable. The computer gods are smiling upon me once again.

Kyle has been my go to guy for a while now. Has provided awesome service at very reasonable costs. The first time I had some problems, looked into a store that wanted me to haul the PC over there so they could charge a fortune just to diagnose the problem. Nope ! Kyle came to my house and fixed everything. SQN Tech is awesome.
