You replaced your old computer and it ran fast and everything
worked. Over time it has slowed down, or does not work at
all. Maybe you purchased a new printer, camera or program
that you cannot get working.
You may have a friend that says
he knows how to fix your problem and now it is either worse
off than it was before. Now you have decided its time to
have a professional help you out.
There is a difference
in levels of quality of service, technician expertise and
convenience
to you. Lets take a look at some examples.
There are many companies out there who offer computer services.
The average computer servicing facility requires you to unplug
your computer and bring it to them for an estimate that on
average costs $100 or more. If you approve the repair your
computer will be out of your home or business for at least
a few days. When its is repaired you receive a bill with
a basic description of the work performed then, you need
to drive back to the shop, pick up you computer, drive it
home and spend the time plugging everything back in. If you
get home and it still does not work you have to bring it
back.
Maybe you found someone in the phonebook or listed online
who will come to your home to fix your computer. Sounds great
but be careful. Not all technicians have not taken the time
to become certified to repair your computer, install hardware
or configure your network. Many people have told to me their
personal stories where they had a technician come into their
home and did fix their computer problem but the technician
was arrogant, unfriendly and not someone you would invite
back. A basic detail of the work performed was provided and
no corrective measures detailed. Most are content to fix
your computer, install new software or hardware for you,
collect their fee and hope you call again sometime in the
future for additional work.
