I am thinking of a name for a company and want to know what different people look for when they get they’re computer serviced.
Call it: "PC RE"
like in PC RE store ( PC restore),
PC REpair store …
hehe, you can email me later for my share of the profits…
Other than that, I’ve never went to a PC repair store; I service it myself.
I am really fed up with my computer repair service, they are very lethargic and don’t attend to my problem immediately, can anyone help me?
What or who are using, personally I always use an Independent IT professional, who only charges when he/she has solved the problem………
My computer repair service providers are not responding properly, communicating with them is a big problem, can anyone give good idea?
Threaten to find a new company…if this works to no avail, find a new one
i would like to know if there is anyone who know of any good computer repair services because i need one of my computers fix because one of my usb port broke thanks.
I have used service from http://www.sacatech.com/ last month and i found its best in my area. I don’t know your area but you can ask them for their service… good luck
If I had to ship my computer for repairs, it may take weeks to get it back. I would like to have an adequate loaner. Say, I put down a deposit and you send me a fully-configured inexpensive laptop with Office and such pre-installed. Once I get my PC back, I will have a few days to return the loaner and you would refund the deposit.
Here’s another thought: hard drives are very cheap these days. Once you got my computer refreshed and cleaned of all the spyware and viruses I downloaded over the past few months, duplicate the hard drive and for a small additional fee (just to cover the disk cost) send it to me along with my repaired PC. The next time I screw something up, I will be able to back up my data and replace the hard drive to get the original clean image.
If you haven’t done so already, you should create a local listing with Google, Yahoo and Bing. It should definitely generate some free business for you.
Here are the links:

Hi Ozzy,
It sounds like a good combination but I wouldn’t just give up on a job if you have one. Maybe you could try and start something in your spare time to first find out how solid the business could be. For free advertising tips a good place to check out is twitter.com/startforfree. Good luck achieving your goal!
I charge hourly for my computer repair service. I work in Manhattan. Is there tax on top of my hourly rate that I will owe the government (i.e. do i need to charge sales tax)? Also, if I buy items for clients from Newegg.com, an online retails store (that doesn’t charge sales tax) and mark them up 10% do they need to pay sales tax?
You must collect and render sales taxes on both your labor charges and the goods that you sell to your customers. Here’s an extract from the NYS tax department website:
Question
What is subject to sales or use tax?
Answer
Sales of the following are subject to sales or use tax:
* Most tangible personal property, such as: furniture, clothing, machinery and equipment, books, computers, boats, candy, cosmetics, cigarettes and tobacco, jewelry, art, collectibles, animals and plants, and building materials.
However, certain property is not subject to tax (that is, exempt from tax), such as: most food; medicines and certain medical equipment; periodicals; and college textbooks.
* Most services are not subject to tax, but certain services are, including but not limited to: maintaining, servicing, and repairing both tangible personal property and real property (land and buildings); and certain information services.
