FAQ

For desktop computers, all you need to bring in is the tower and any CD's you can find that belong to it (cables, monitors, keyboards, and mice are not needed).
For laptops, please be sure to bring in the charger as well as any CD's you can find. We do not need your laptop case.
Depending on the issue, we require passcode credentials to access the device.
Also, if you are having a problem with a specific device (e.g.,. your computer speakers aren't working) please bring in that device.

Device diagnostics are $50. We offer a 10% discount for seniors. Once a diagnostic is performed, we require a 50% deposit on repairs to begin service.

How long will it take to get my computer back?

Advanced hardware repairs or repairs that require custom-ordered parts can take longer depending on the severity of the issue. We take pride in having an extremely fast turnaround and in many cases we have fixed our customers' computers on the spot for them. All of our repairs are done “in-house” to ensure the fastest turnaround time possible.
If I need my job completed right away, is that possible?
We operate on a “first come first serve” basis. If your issue requires immediate attention we offer Emergency Rush Service for an additional fee. This service lets you “cut the line” and we work to fix your computer immediately.
