When people are looking for cheap computer repair they need to
consider a few important things. The first is you get what you
pay for. This does not mean you can’t find a great cheap
computer repair company. I say this because many times the
cheaper person is not insured and does not offer a guarantee. A
perfect example of this is just last week. I had a customer who
gave me call and said they needed their computer repaired. They
took it to a guy they found on craigslist and yes he was cheap
but the guy also had their computer for a full week and the
issue was not resolved. He did say he had 20 years of computer
repair experience but they still got burned.
When choosing a cheap computer repair company always ask how
long the company has been in business. If they have only been
open a few months consider going some were else. 85% of all
companies do not make it to the one year mark.
Another great question to ask is if they have any computer
certifications. At the very least they should have an A+
certification. This is the most basic cert in the industry.
When you find someone who offers a great price ask about any
guarantees and if the price includes the full cost of the
repair. Some places charge by the hour. I never go this route
for computer repair. The tech might quote you $25 dollars an
hour and say it will only take 2 hours to repair. Then 5 hours
later you paid double what you wanted. The guarantee matters as
well. Being in the business I can tell you that yes 90% of the
time I am able to remove the virus the first time. However you
really do not fully know if the virus is gone until a few days
later. If you missed one trace the thing can reactivate and that
is were the guarantee comes into place.
Having you computer repaired online for software issues and
viruses is the cheapest way to go hands down. Be sure to find
one that has a “No Fix No Fee� policy and that charges by
the service and not the hour. This way you know ahead of time if
the issue is not fixed you do not pay and you know exactly how
much the repair will cost ahead of time. Be sure and ask what
kinds of guarantees the company offers as well. If your issue
comes back you want to know it will be taken care of with out
any further costs to you.
