Computer Repair: What to Expect…

Table of Contents
Computer repair is a delicate art. We approach it with the greatest respect and care. Here is the process that you can expect when we repair your computer or laptop.
1. Quote#
First, you must agree on our pricing.
What to expect:
- Hourly rate
- Parts / shipping (to be determined in the next step)
2. Parts Research#
We will quickly do the necessary research to find the compatible part for your computer.
- This is a highly important and sensitive step. In some cases, we may require time to check with suppliers and compare prices.
- We primarily source parts through eBay and Amazon.
- This research is included in our hourly rate.
- In some cases, we might have to open your device to identify the exact part if it is not obvious via make/model research.
3. Verification#
We will provide a final quote based on the Hourly Rate + Parts & Shipping.
4. Part Arrival#
Once we proceed, we must wait for the part to arrive. This typically takes a few days to a week. Switchboard Tech Services LLC has little control over shipping speeds, and while you may pay for expedited shipping, we generally do not encourage the extra expense.
5. The Repair#
We will call you as soon as the part arrives. In many cases, we can complete the repair the same day it arrives. Repairs require a minimum of 1 hour of labor.
NOTE: We are very careful with laptop repairs. We do not rush this process. See our philosophy on Do No Harm.
