Services (This page updated 25/2/2006)

  - what we are really all about !

 

Whatever your problem, you're in safe hands with our professional technicians.

 

Our workshop facilities are second to none.

 

The area is fully static protected and the workbench mains is protected through an Uninterruptible Power Supply which means that nothing that happens to our mains can do any harm to your valuable electronics. All customer goods are logged through our database so  we know exactly what you have brought in and what we have to do with it. Naturally, we have masses of technical information on hand to handle all sorts of problems.

 

We can sometimes work while you wait but an appointment must be made beforehand.

 

Our policies mean no worries for you.

 

No inspection charges.

You always know what it will cost. If a job would cost more than the standard workshop charge or needs more parts than originally expected, we will talk to you before going any further. (We assume that you wouldn't have brought it in if you weren't prepared to pay the standard workshop charge.)

There will be no charge if no fault is found unless extensive testing has been required.

There will be no charge if we don't do the job unless parts have been needed to discover this. Of course, we'll tell you about this in advance whenever possible.

We treat your data with respect. We know your data is valuable to you, we make every effort to preserve it. Also, confidential data is your business and we promise to keep it that way.

We only use high quality new components from trusted suppliers.

Full parts and labour warranties on all work done.

 

 

 

Repairs

 

****Time, Tiny, Packard Bell, E-machines, Hewlett Packard and Compaq computers repaired here****

We can handle branded and unbranded PCs, laptops and games consoles. The standard workshop charge is £40. Sometimes a job is very quick and simple, so we have a half price rate of £20. You can bring in repairs anytime, they go into a queue and are dealt with as quickly as possible.

 

You can also jump the queue for an urgent job without appointment for an extra charge.

 

If you aren't certain what to bring, give us a ring. Most jobs are completed in a couple of days at the most. We will call you as soon as we have some news for you.

 

Virus & malware removal

 

Viruses, trojans, worms, hackers, identity theft, browser hijackers, spyware and premium rate dialers are all too prevalent these days and if you use your PC on the internet, these are problems you will have to deal with sooner or later. We are a NASCR registered virus centre and we can clean your computer of these malicious programs. Many repairers will simply wipe your hard drive then reinstall your Operating System if you have these problems, but we will always do our best to repair your system first with a success rate of around 95%!

 

 

And that is why we are called The Bug Bashers™.

Upgrades

 

Some extra RAM from just a fiver can make a world of difference to the speed of some PCs!

We offer a free, no obligation, upgrade recommendation service. Just bring your PC in and we'll suggest the most cost effective ways of making it more useful. Please note that this service is similar to the £40 diagnostic service offered by PC Wurld.

 

Universal Serial Bus explained simply  An old computer can have a new lease of life with some memory and the addition of USB ports.

 There are a few things to know about this, so it has its own page.

 

A 3D graphics card can turn your workstation into a great games machine and we can supply and fit a suitable card for about the same price that others will just sell you the card and expect you to install it yourself!

 

Want broadband but your PC isn't up to it? Come and talk to us for a no obligation quote - we can even help you to choose the internet service that is right for you.

 

****Almost any PC can be upgraded but we will tell you if you would be better off doing things differently ****

 

We have upgraded systems that others said couldn't be done but we will not go ahead with any upgrade without discussing the implications with you. Will it cost less to rebuild your PC with a new motherboard, faster processor and memory than adding a smaller amount of older, more expensive memory to what you've got? Would the cost of upgrades be close to the price of a whole new base unit? What about your version of Windows - is it suitable? Will you lose all your data?

If you are considering an upgrade, come and talk to us. There is never any hard sell. Have a quick look at the Repairs section above because the same terms apply.

 

Web Design

 

As you can see, we make great websites.

 

Is your website a boring text only page or a standard form layout that looks just like a zillion others, is it just plain confusing or does it take far too long to download? If visitors to your site get bored or confused they will leave immediately and you don't get your message across.

 

Our sites are intended to communicate and are uniquely designed for each client's purpose. We offer a clear, imaginative and intelligent service. Please contact us for a consultation.
