Shoot the Boss and Start a Computer Repair Business (Part 1)
Posted on July 16th, 2009 by admin
Get out from under the boss, do your own thing and start a business in IT.
Never before, has it been so easy to go out and start a computer repair business. The “proof-of-the-pudding” is franchising! If someone is franchising an idea you can be certain …it is an easy start-up.
What the franchising people do is …use an idea that is easy to transfer to others …and provide the marketing expertise to create consistent profits.
Today, it is possible for someone with a passionate interest in IT …and without any formal training …to go forth and offer a computer repair service.
The business of repairing computers has changed dramatically over the last 10 to 20 years. For example in the old days …in the 1980’s computers were actually physically repaired.
Today it has all changed. The skill part is still needed …but the secret ingredient, unknown to 99.9% of the population is …the training part that has been short circuited. By growing up with computers …skills are naturally acquired by interested and involved people.
I am not talking specifically about teenagers …as we all had the opportunity to grow with computers in the 80s, 90s and beyond.
By taking advantage of computer skills attained through work and play it is now possible for people to start a successful business in IT with a minimum of qualifications.
Will this change in the future? Of course it will, but this opportunity is available …right now.
If you desperately want to get out …from under the boss …like I did …and do your own thing. I believe I can help you.

Yeah, IT companies …
Yeah, IT companies don’t like people that are too smart. I was interested in a company, then I told them to not use WEP encryption on their wireless networks because any decent hacker could crack it in 5 minutes, so they never called me back.
IT companies feel like it’s a liability to hire someone who knows a little too much.

computers are not worth reparing because all components except the CPU chip are of terrible quality to keep the price as low as possilbe.When my PC dies I pull out the hard drive and put it in a new box

I’m 16 years old, I can tell you it’s pretty easy. Only thing I can think of that cost me the most is the advertising, and probably depending on which remote support tool you use like theres a company called bomgar its started at like 2k, then lgmein monthly for that is 1200. I started my biz in 2005.
I don’t want to go all on advertising, but alot of what your saying seems pretty well.

I am an electrical …
I am an electrical engineer and best-buy said I was “overqualified” and that they prefer to hire people with no prior computer knowlege. This is because they are afraid of hiring people capable of identity theft or hacking. It is kinda pathetic really. These new computers don’t even use screws, shows you the level geek-squad is used to working on…

the problem is that …
the problem is that most new pre-fabs aren’t sold with CDs and basic options like “control panel”, “safe mode”, and “system restore”. This is to stop guys like us from repairing them instead of sending the overpriced junk to the department store for “upgrades”.
July 16th, 2009 at 5:48 pm
Did you build it or …
Did you build it or have it built? Or is it a pre-fab purchased from a department store?
If it is:
(1)Hand built in your home country, then simply copy your valuable data to a flash drive or CD and use the windows CD to reformat it.
(2) A pre-fab sold in department stores and manufactured by slanted eyed children for slave wages (dell, compaq, apple, etc.) Please contact your local govt to see when recycling is picked up, and proceed to dispensing it to Jo-Jo the garbage man.

Just do a system restore turn it back a few days before the virus infection. Then take you’re windows os disc and do a file check. You will find that run command if you google search Run commands this one dude has tons of run commands available..

I’m a former active duty US Marine/ Handyman looking to start a PC repair and web building business. I just happen to know how to fix more than a litle of everything, from copper pipes to PC programs, but had never really thought starting my own business until recently. I have a few questions but please contuinue.

I have Windows XP, my computer WOULDNT changed my background to a royal blue with a warning that my computer had been infected with a virus.I ran Spy Sweeper and I had 93 Cookies/Trojans and 311 Traces. I told it to delete all of the Cookies/Trojans like I have every time before. Now, it won’t let me change my background to a picture. It will only let me change it to different colors.
it just blinks PLAESE MESSAGE MEE

…I hire local guys here vs. Geek Squad because I like the locals guys and don’t know or trust the G-S guys. I think if you are good at what you do and service your customers well, you can earn money, period. Home users may be idiots, but someone got very wealthy selling pc’s to them (Dell, etc) and someone will do well to service them when they screw them up.

Its too easy to undercut the competitors when your a Student working from home with a strong desire to not be a poor student.
I fully agree, I dunno if its just here in NZ but the demand far exceeds the supply.

I have created my own business website at 1-cpu(dot)com to try to advertise my PC repair business online in an attempt to give remote customer support for those far customers that I am not able to reach. I have repaired more than 500 computers as far as I can remember and there has not been any case that I was not able to repair and none of my customers lost any of their documents. I do agree, for the right person, its easy to start a computer repair biz.

I have been born with the fixing ability. ever since I was like about 7 years old I was able to fix radios and other electronics without any one teaching me how to, just by visual inspecting/troubleshooting/following chains of reasonable mechanical patters that should work was I able to fix these problems. Now at age 25 I operate Francisco’s Systems and Services and PC repair biz in the Bronx, Ny area repairing all sorts of problems I see there.

I agree, it is hard. I was a software developer, and I moved into supporting. If you can build it you can support it, however the learning curve is still there. Thats why we are PROFESSIONALS - 22 years here. Keep up the great work> Recovering MCSD, MCDST!

Yes, corporate IT …
Yes, corporate IT is far removed from fixing PCs on the run. With a self generated confidence and a backwards learning ability you can successfully crack the small business and home PC repair market.

I think people …
I think people spent too much time and money in the corporate computer education system. Thousands and thousands of dollars and time,… and the guy next door is making huge money working a small computer repair business from home with little training. The college grads/ time wasters can’t stand that.
