Our Services

We offer several computer service related  rates and discounts in order to differentiate ourselves from the competition. The following are some of the standard services we offer, along with labor estimates (*Approximate, Estimated In Hours). Hardware or Parts are extra and will be included in specific job estimates. We charge $75/hour for our house call services and do not charge customers for travel time if they are within the Fort Lauderdale area.

 

Key Benefits

We can provide service onsite or pickup for offsite service in the Bronx, Manhattan and Queens.

 

All computer builds and operating system reinstallations are done offsite, due to the length of time required to complete the service. Average turnaround time in this level of service is 48 hours.

30 day work guarantee on service provided.

 

No markup on direct costs. The price we get the hardware parts for is the price you pay. All the discounts we receive are passed directly to you.

 

All Microsoft Windows operating systems supported.

 

Phone service and remote administration is at a low $25 an hour not by the number of PCs.

 

Did you pay for that expensive warranty for your name brand computer and it's about to run out?

 

We can run diagnostic programs that can detect if any of your computer hardware parts are about to fail.
