About Switchboard Tech Services#
Who We Are#
Switchboard Tech Services, LLC is a family-run business in Kirksville.
We were founded to meet the steady demand for on-site tech help in Kirksville — the kind of personal support that’s harder to find in today’s age of automation and corporate call centers.
Our goal is simple:
practical, person-to-person fixes for everyday technology problems.
The Name#
“The Switchboard” is a name inspired from old tech and a location in the game Fallout 4.
What We Do Differently#
Local and Person-Focused#
- Based near the Adair County Courthouse.
- Meetings and drop-offs arranged at the courthouse — a neutral, trusted spot.
- Repairs are done in our own workshop, not shipped away.
Filling Local Gaps#
Kirksville businesses and residents rely heavily on tech — card readers, Wi-Fi, printers, laptops, smart devices — but often lack in-house IT.
Switchboard was created to:
- Keep local shops running when POS or Wi-Fi fails.
- Help retirees and students with practical, plain-English support.
- Repair or repurpose electronics that others won’t touch.
Help, Not Compete#
We know established providers like Sprocket Technologies and Anderson Computer Consultants cover much of the mainstream IT and device repair. Switchboard fills the underserved space:
- After-hours and on-site service.
- Linux systems and conversions.
- Oddball electronics and custom devices.
- Patient tutoring and one-on-one help.
About Leo Blanchette#
Why It Matters#
Technology should work for the people who use it.
That means:
- Clear explanations, not jargon.
- Honest rates and simple terms.
- Repairs and conversions that extend the life of equipment instead of pushing replacement.
Switchboard Tech Services exists to keep everyday tools running — from laptops and Wi-Fi to POS systems and small electronics — in a way that’s local, dependable, and personal.
