Computer Repair UK

At some point and time you will need computer help. It might be a virus you just can not remove yourself or your computer might be slower then a snail.

I do computer repair for a living and service a local market in Northern Colorado. The number one issue we get called out for is spyware and viruses. This is our bread and butter. On average the cost runs around 178 for onsite service. The next most popular service we perform is a system tune-up. This runs 129.

When selecting a computer repair company you should always call around. I run a small computer repair shop. Many people like that because if they have an issue they can ask for me by name. The turn around rate at bix box stores all but ensures you won’t get the smae tech that came out in the first place.

You are not forced to have someone on site to repair your computer. Thanks to new technology many companies now do online computer repair. Places like http://www.onlinecomputerrepair.org specialize in remote computer repair for XP and Vista. This is a great way to get your computer repaired right away and with out paying those higher prices for an in home tech. This sure beats hauling your computer across town and waiting a week for it to get fixed. The price is less and you get service right away. This is a very big plus. This really helps to lower the prices.

When selecting a company regardless of what way you go, you should always ask for the prices up front. There is nothing worse then hearing they charge 100 bucks an hour and you end up with a 400 dollar bill. Many places now charge by the service. Ask about the prices right away and get an estimate on the repair.

You should also check and ensure the company offers some kind of guarantee. For instance my small computer repair company has a 30 day guarantee on all services and a 90 day guarantee on workmanship. This means that if the spyware or virus comes back we will not charge them again for removal. It’s rare but when it comes to spyware sometimes a threat is not detected until a few days after the removal.

Bottom line, ask questions until you are happy with what you hear.

When  it comes to computer repair you have many different options. The one most commonly chosen is going with a big box store like the geek Squad.  While at first this may seem like a good option here are a few things you may not know.

Places like the Geek Squad do not require certifications or pre-training.  You would think thye would require this for all of their computer repair tecks but that is not the case.  The field agents that come out to your home are suposed to be certified but having worked there myself I can tell you this is not true.  The other download side is the cost. While the in store service is reasonable in price having a tech come out to your house will costs you a few hundred bucks just to have them show up.  This cost is very outrageous.

A better way to go is going with a smaller local company.  Looking online or in your phone book you will find many smaller shops.Going this route is nice because if you have an issue you can actually speak with the same person who repaired your computer.  This is by far a better way to go.

Your third option which is even better is one that most people do not even know about.  Hiring a US based company to repair your computer online.  Things like virus and spyware removal, networking and all those other blue screen errors can be resolved right online.  For instance this Computer Repair site can remote into your computer and reslove just about any issue.there is no waiting in line and you can chat live with a repair tech.  No waiting days for a personal tech or hauling your computer across town just to wait a week for the repair.  By going this route you will save some major green on your computer repair job.  These guys also feature a no fix no fee policy.  This means if they can not fix it for any reason you do not pay a cent.  It’s worth bookmarking because some day you will need to use them.
