Contact Information
I am mobile so do not have set hours. I try to remain flexible and have weekend and evening appointments available for those who need them (additional costs might apply). Phone calls are preferred. If I do not answer, please leave a message with your name and return phone number and I will call back as soon as possible. If you use the e-mail message above, please be sure to include your phone number so I can return your call. If required, include hours for days and times it is best for me to call.
I have found that texting, although marketed as a convenience feature, is generally not the best way to carry on a converstation about having a device serviced/repaired so please call me in person.
Estimates
Computers/electronics are like cars or any other complex device. One problem might have many different causes and required repairs. For example, if you call an auto mechanic and explain that your car won't start, he is going to tell you that there are many reasons ranging from simple and cheap to major as to why it won't start. I am unable to provide accurate estimates over e-mail or the phone for this same reason.
I need to see a device in person to provide a proper diagnosis. An upfront $35 diagnostics fee is required for all jobs and is charged on a per device basis. This charge applies towards the repair or purchase of a replacement unit provided the unit is paid for in full and picked up within 7 days after the repair is complete or the diagnosis, whichever comes later.
