"They are the best!!!"
Very happy with my purchase,
"Very happy with my purchase, and great customer service"
Very helpful service plus quick an just right screen
"I called a few of the more common popups on google an gotten either a computer or a service rep who knew nothing about screens or printing other than what i could surmise from the website. I even tried local but got young sounding kid who wanted nothing to do with my questions an seemed some what annoyed. Finally i thought i would try one last site maybe try ready print screen instead of trying from scratch. Thats when i found so-cal i believe i sent an email to which they asked me to call or vice versa but the rep was patient answered my questions told me to call back if i had more even tho we spoke 5-10 min an no sale. So i felt these guys where both confident an professional worth a shot an I'm very happy idid."
