In most cases we can resolve your problems for considerably less than it will cost you at a computer store.
Without the high overhead of a storefront, we are able to pass the savings on to you!
Here is a partial list of the wide variety of services that we have to offer.
If it has to do with computers, we can probably do it!
Virus Removal
Back To Top
Viruses are often more nuisance
than anything else. While they often cause problems with your Windows operating
system, and interfere with correct software operation...they rarely do any
irreparable damage. Far too often we hear stories from clients who called their
computer manufacturer who instructed them to simply re-format their hard drive
or re-install all the original software.
This is often NOT necessary and an absolute last resort! Viruses are the most
common problem we encounter. Our trained technicians are familiar with
recommended virus removal techniques which minimize the potential for any lost
data. While it is impossible for us to guarantee virus removal without
affecting your important personal data...insuring that your data remains intact
is a number one priority.
Often, due to the complex nature of some viruses we will offer a flat rate quote
for virus removal rather than charging our regular hourly rate. Complete,
comprehensive virus removal often requires as much as 3-4 hours. Times vary by
computer speed, Internet access speeds, and other factors. Therefore we will
often give you a quote in advance of approximate hourly cost vs. our flat rate.
Repair
Back To Top
Virtually all computer problems can be diagnosed and repaired on site. Many can
be diagnosed with extreme accuracy over the phone. By the time we end up at
your door, we will have all the necessary parts needed to get you back up and
running as quickly and efficiently as possible.
Our technicians
carry a basic inventory of the most widely used components. This minimized the
any inconvenience and insures that you are up and running as quickly as
possible, minimizing any additional labor or mileage costs that other repair
companies may use to "bump up" your cost.
Many widely used parts are kept in stock, and we can often offer you price
quotes in advance of our visit. All prices include installation. Additional on
site visit and/or diagnostics fees may be added.
Upgrades
Back To Top
We offer a complete line of upgrade options. Using only quality name brand
parts and accessories, we can upgrade most older computer systems to
state-of-the-art computer systems quickly and easily.
Often, many of the existing components from your old system can be transferred
to your new computer without any trouble or additional expense. Sometimes, some
components like memory, video, and audio will NOT transfer and need to be
replaced at additional cost.
Most services can be performed without removing your computer from your
premises. If you need an complete or partial upgrade... for better performance,
speed, or to accommodate specific software requirements we can come to you, and
in most cases, within just a couple hours have your complete "new" computer.
Maintenance
Back To Top
Your computer needs to be
regularly maintained for proper operation and to minimize the risk of down-time
due to corrupt files, and/or failing equipment. We offer on site maintenance
options which can include a one-time maintenance/training in which we show you
what you need to do regularly to maintain your hard drive and other
components...or what "signs" to look for in advance of hard drive and/or
hardware failures. We also will make sure your virus protection is updated and
that you know what to do to best protect yourself against virus's that can be
inconvenient and costly to remove.
Or...you just just let us take care of all your maintenance needs. By signing up with us for any of our "Maintenance Agreements", we can schedule complete, comprehensive, regular maintenance of your computer. Scheduling set appointment times for on-site or online maintenance of your computer system(s). Our low-cost Maintenance Agreements start at just $99 per year, per computer!
Networking
Back To Top
Whether you need to network
two or more computers in your home to access one Internet connection, or to
share files, and printer access...or you need to create a complete comprehensive
network for your business computers...we can help.
With today's technology
there are a number of options for networking your computer systems from running
standard Ethernet cables through a "hub" system, or perhaps connecting your
computers via your existing telephone or electrical wiring system. We take the
time to evaluate your networking needs and recommend the best, most
cost-effective networking options to you. From start to finish we can assess,
recommend, build and configure your home or business network.
We are also available for ongoing maintenance of your existing home and office
networks. From making sure that ALL computers on your network are protected
from virus vulnerability, to making sure your security and firewall protection
is adequate and in fact, protecting your sensitive data.
Internet Setup/Configuration
Back To Top
Whether you have chosen to go
with high-speed Internet options or dialup...often, it can be confusing knowing
just how to connect and configure your computer for best results. For instance,
High-Speed Internet like DSL or Cable require connecting your computer via an
Ethernet Network Card (which your system may or may not already have installed).
High Speed Wireless (available in some areas) only requires a serial port or USB
connection. Dialup access requires a Modem (which should be at least 56kbps in
speed to maximize your connection speed). Either way we can usually in a matter
of minutes, get you connected and configure your chosen Internet access
connection to maximize your systems performance and guarantee that you have the
fastest connection possible.
Even if you don't have
a chosen Internet Service Provider (ISP), we can ask you a few questions to
determine what your REAL Internet needs may be and recommend the best and most
cost effective Internet options based on your specific needs and/or budget. You
may be surprised about how many (or how few) options you have depending
primarily on your geographic locations and what you are willing to spend for
Internet access.
We are not affiliated with any ISP or service providers. We simply offer our
suggestions, recommendations and installation services for the benefit of
knowing our customers have the best available service that meets their specific
needs.
