I’m having trouble with my computer. It just seems like it is going really slowly. I used to be able to get on the internet with no problems, but now it takes like 10 minutes to load a single page. I was going to call geek squad but I heard a lot of complaints from some of my friends. Any suggestions?

It’s so hard to find a good shop. I would definitely advise you to keep asking around until you get a good recommendation, the larger shops charge too much and the super small ones (ie on craigslist) don’t do a good job and have terrible interpersonal skills.

I have been fixing my friends and families computers for about two years now, and i only ask for donations. However, i think i can start off fixing other peoples computers and charging them. The only problem is that i don’t know how much to charge them for what. Do you know how much i should charge? I’m not looking to make alot of money, just enough to have to buy things that i want.
I’m a freshman in community college and unemployed, I also have alot of time on my hands.

It is quite difficult to place a fixed price on fixing computers as there are always various problems with them. You can maybe try looking at advertisements placed in the newspapers or on the notice boards at colleges and compare the services / troubleshooting problems. You can also try to start a blog on computers, what users need to be wary off, and probably give suggestions on common problems faced by users. Or alternatively you can try to create an ad, print them out and put them on noticeboards, drop them in the mailboxes along your street, advertise at busstops.

hi i have been repairing friends and family’s computers for a few years now and have worked in a computer repair shop before and love computers!
i have been thinking about starting a computer repair business from home and i was wondering if anyone and done a similar thing before?
does anyone have any tips for me?
i know how to fix computers but i don’t know much about the financial side of things?
also i don’t drive. will this be a problem?
will people want to take there computers to a semi detached house?
any help is appreciated
thanks

Do you have some where that you can turn in to a work shop it would look better if when people bought there computers round to you they saw a workshop and not your front room. You will need insurance to cover accidents to members of the public either in your home or in the event that the work you do goes wrong and someone get injured (talk to an insurance broker). Get some posters printed up and placed in shops and take out some small lineage ads in local papers. Good luck in your venture it will work if you put in the time.

I know how to fix computers and have some of the tools and parts I need. Does anyone know what software Geek Squad or other professional use to diagnostic computer for performance and virus removal? What other tools they use?

Thank you,

Even if i told u, u wouldnt have the cash to pay a GEEK with a PH-D degree in that field so i think you gonna hav to start from the bottom.

How would I go about starting a computer repair business?

I’m only 20 years old and am naturally gifted with computer repair.

I want to know how I can legally get it going out of my garage to earn profit from consumers
with advertisement.

And what kind of employees do I need? (want to keep it small)

listen to me, FORGET the employees, u need to start on ur own, even if ur working from 7am to 9 pm everyday, first employees cost money, second they will never give u enough % out of their work since its not their business.

if u want to open a computer shop, u really really need to know how to repair pc specially laptops, with the economy down, the sales are not that good, i work at a computer store, and it has the best prices in montreal, all the resellers use to buy from there and resell them at their store. but recently they are not buying as much as they use to, because sales are down, BUT theirs alot of reparation,
and when i say reparation im not saying changing memory or hard drive, i mean changing the plug on motherboard, if its dark screen and its not the screen or inverter u need to know what it is, stuff like that, or else u wont survive.

LAST, u need to have contacts, good contacts, to buy the stock at low price, and the only way to have them at low price is to buy quantity, big amount.

im 25 years old, i was studying web design at college and i was working part time at a computer store, i fell in love in the business of buying and reselling, fixing pcs, so i dropped the course and its been 2 years im still working there, and im planning this year or next year to start my own computer shop.

hope it helps

What kind of things might I need to know. I know alot alot of things about basic computer repair. Optimization, Security, the usual. But i want to be sure of what I might need to actually learn. I dont want to end up with a customer who wants me to do something and I have no idea what to do. Although i cannot think of a situation when this would happen, I know it will happen. Is there anyone who has experienced what Im talking about maybe? Thanks.

This is for Tax Return 2009…I am so small that I have no other place do this…I make calls and look for potential clients and fix computer in my home office.

If this is your only place of doing business then yes you should be able to deduct the work area - . If the room is only used for the business then the whole space is allowed other wise you can only write off the space actually used - so only part of the electric bill, heating etc.You can write off the phone You really should check with an accountant/tax CPA .

Goodluck!

I own and operate a local computer repair company. I need to know what tax forms I need to file and in what order. I have read everything just about on the IRS website and still have no clue on what to do. I know something about a Schedule C form, but where do I send it, how do I figure up my taxes, estimated taxes, excise taxes, or what do I need to do?

You file your 1040 or 1040A and then attach the Schedule C. On the 1040 or 1040A, there is a line for the Schedule C.
