How To Start My Own Computer Repair Shop?
Posted on February 7th, 2010 by admin
Okay I am 18 years old and I live in Connecticut. I have 2 more months before i graduate high school. I am good at fixing computers. I want to fix peoples computers in my house. I cant have a huge banner made to advertise my Business and have loads of Business cards made. Can I just put the banner up, give out business cards and have people drop there computers off to my house and fix it dirt cheap? Is it that easy?
Easy there slick rick. Are you wanting to do this part time? Are you going to carry insurance? Are you that you "know" what you are doing.
It takes a little more than knowing how to install windows to make you able to fix a computer. Have you tried any test to measure your knowledge?
You may be really good at fixing your pc. However what do you do when a customer has a problem that you cannot fix. Worse yet what if they say that you broke their machine when you know that you didn’t. This is where insurance comes in. Look into these things.
Knowing about a PC is not the same has being able to fix one. I have been in IT for about 5 years now and still have issues that are demanding. You will never know all the answers. Join newsgroups that will help you stay on top of your game and get into the forums. They will be vital at times. Never be afraid to call a vendor’s help desk line.
Consider what you are doing here my friend. Be careful.
