About us

Expert Service Since 1989

Locally owned and operated, GMS Lazerworks has been servicing, troubleshooting and repairing printers, scanners, copiers and computers for 37 years. Our number one goal is always to get you up and running as quickly as possible, at a fair price.

Our story

How it all began

In 1989, George Simmons read an article in Entrepreneur Magazine on toner cartridge remanufacturing. Seeing an opportunity to provide a much-needed service in the Bay Area, George and his wife flew to Florida to be trained in the process. The business started in the family garage.

Customers soon asked, “Can you help with this too?” The answer was always yes. GMS added printer repair, then copier repair, scanner repair, fax machine service and computer repair, each one because local businesses needed it.

George still loves what he does. You can find him at the shop every week, helping customers troubleshoot problems.
