"I was totally awestruck by Mike's professionalism, knowledge and honesty. He was able to reassure me that my used computer is in tip top shape and has more memory then I even imagined. He was able to remotely get into my computer to check it out since he is in Arizona and I am in Oklahoma. Normally I would not have allowed this-but thanks to Mikes many tremendous reviews and A Grade I trusted him and do not regret it. In my opinion he deserves an A++! It's been 20 years since I have owned a desktop computer and I'm obviously not tech savvy! Mike did not take advantage of that and was even kind enough to share some info with me free of charge. I have already opened a file (in my filing account with his name on it)! I am making a list of things for him to help me with and will definitely be back in touch with him. I highly recommend Mike's company to anyone looking for an honest, reputable computer repair person."

"Terry came to the rescue with a crashed computer. He listened and asked questions to get to the root of the problem using language a non-computer person could understand. He then provided a reasonable estimate and explained what he would do, with the promise that there would not be additional work or charges without my approval. He came out quickly and was very professional throughout the process. He got my computer back up and running with the network in short order. We also discussed some additional IT projects needed at our office and we plan to work with him again. I feel confident that Terry can handle all of our computing, network, and telephone systems."

"We recently purchased a computer and laptop from another vendor who essentially set up both and said goodbye. We were barely able to use it as it was configured and the vendor said he would show us how...for a price. Brian came to our house, set up both so that we could use them again. He understood our needs and we are eternally grateful for his expertise."

"Keith provided a very timely repair of my dryer electrical outlet. He showed up on time, was professional, and knowledgeable. In addition, it is very hard to find electricians who have reasonable prices and do good quality work -- Keith definitely has both of those qualities."

"I found the company to be very patient as someone who is not well versed in the IT side of things. Will answer any questions, even if it might seem a bit elementary to them. Was very helpful that they explained the process as they fixed the problem."

The time it takes to repair a computer depends on the repair needed and part availability. It can take between a few hours to three weeks to fully restore your computer. Certain repairs, like data recovery or network configuration, can be done remotely within a few hours. Other problems, like a Blue Screen Error Code, could take multiple days to resolve fully. Consult a computer repair technician for a diagnosis of your computer’s problem and estimated timeline for repairs.
The average desktop PC lasts three to eight years, while laptops last only three to five years. Desktop computers tend to last longer because of the extra space inside the box, which allows added airflow. This component also allows easy access to repair individual parts as needed. Laptops have more tightly packed components that can lead to overheating issues and a shorter lifespan.
There are several common repairs between laptops and desktops that you’ll need to address as soon as possible. A slow computer is often related to having too many files on your computer or even spyware. A computer repair professional will scan your system for malware and possibly add more RAM to increase the speed time.
Another common problem is overheating, which is caused by dust build-up on the computer components or a part failure. Older computers might develop graphic problems where the display is fuzzy or altered.
In most circumstances, a computer repair will cost less than replacing your computer. However, there are a few factors to consider before making that decision. First, if the repair will cost more than half the cost of a replacement computer, it might be worth replacing it, especially if it’s reaching its age limit.
In addition, it’s essential to consider whether the repair is a one-time deal or regular occurrence. If the repair is a simple upgrade, it’s worth repairing. However, if you have a serious problem like excessive spyware that cannot be fully resolved, it’s better to replace it.
The average cost for computer repair is between $50 to $150. On average, computer repair technicians charge $60 per hour, though that price can be as low as $40 to as high as $90 per hour.
The necessary repairs will often dictate the type of charge you’ll incur. For example, laptop hardware replacement, such as hard drives, RAM, or keyboards, typically costs $30 per component. However, a complete tuneup, which includes computer upgrades and virus removal, averages around $150.
