Pricing:
For house/office calls, we charge a flat $115.00 for
the first hour to do an
initial check of your
computer or to do a diagnosis.
If it is quick we will
take that into consideration.
Any time after the first hour that we work on your computer you will be billed at $85.00 /
hour.
Your Geek will give you
an assessment as quickly as possible and a GUESS of
how long the repair or virus scanning may take.
If you want to drop your computer off
with us (just the tower), the cost will not exceed $150 and we will tell you if
it is not worth fixing and help you find a new one (and we do not sell or build
computers - most of the time we recommend Dell so that you may get their
warranty and online support). We are honest with you.
We will speak with you before working
for three days on your computer...,
We will try to give you a good estimate
and plan of action.
Most of the time we can resolve your problems in few hours…,
but computers infected with computer viruses can take a long time to repair
depending upon how big your computer hard drive is and how badly infected your
system is.
Quite often we need to re-install Windows files or even
erase and reformat your hard drive.
You can and will lose some of your files
unless you have made back-ups of your
hard drive yourself.
If we can, we will try to back up your files before we erase your hard drive or
re-install Windows.
After re-formatting we will restore as much as possible of your original
settings.
BUT, We can not provide a guarantee that any of your data will be able to be
restored
or that your programs will run like they did before.
If we need to install software on your computer or if we
are installing any new hardware for you,
If a Geek purchases your hardware for you - you will need to reimburse your Geek
the day of purchase,
We aren't a computer store or a
bank.., we will be glad to go to Staples or Best Buy or Computer City
but if we buy it for you - we will give you a receipt to be reimbursed that day.
Things we might need:
Any system disks (Windows or Restore Disks) that you have.
Any programs disks (either to re-install or get them working again properly)
Any documentation you have.
Phone number to contact you on the day of service so we can give you progress
updates.
