Description of service

Recently I needed to add a hard drive and a data burning disc drive to my computer. Since I also needed to have it looked at due to poor performance, I took it to a local store that specializes in computer repair. They installed the drives I needed and cleaned everything up so it would run like new again. The whole procedure only took a couple of hours and cost a grand total of $50.


Review of Service

I love this computer shop. It seems like no matter what the problem is, the cost is always $50. I have taken my computers to big, nationwide electronic retailers before and they over charge by a lot. To have what I had done at a big "chain" store, it would have cost over $200. I also like how my service providor cleans the computer out, like the dust and dirt that builds up by the fan and on the inside.


Tips

A good tip is to shop around. Take your computer to differnet shops until you find one that fits your needs. Sometimes, you can find family members that are good at computers and can fix them - if so, this could save you a ton of money. You can go to the big chains to, they usually cary the best guarentee on their service.
