Service Call Fees:
I charge $1.25 per mile to any location, this will also covers the return service call in the rare case that we have to make the repairs in our repair center. I have a one hour minimum labor charge of $20.00 for all service calls. With our senior discount, all non-business persons 55 or older will recieve 10% off on labor and computer classes.

Custom Built Computers:
A custom built computer is your best way to go, better parts equals a better computer. Most companies compete with each other to see who can build their computers the cheapest . This is fine for about 80 to 85 percent of the computer users. But if you are looking for a good top of the line computer, you have to have it custom built. It takes about three to four hours to assemble, load the OS and drivers. Call us to see what a custom computer designed especially for your needs will cost. Price quotes are good for 15 days only. There is a no refund or return policy for custom built computers or special ordered hardware.

Restore Computer Back To Factory Specifications:
The average time needed is about 2 to 3 hours for  the factory software. Backing up your files, e-mail, address books, photos before the system is wiped clean and restored require more time. After it has been restored, setting up Internet, e-mail, printers, scanners, cameras, networks, firewalls, anti virus programs, and  loading  other software require more time. The more you can do for yourself the more money you will save. We encourage you to learn how to partition & format a hard-drive, install windows & your computer's hardware drivers. Feel free to ask questions and take notes.
