I had a question for alot of you tech gurus. I've noticed alot of you are part of the professional repair business. I live in Missoula, MT and was employed by a computer repair shop for about a month before being fired. I'm going to list a few things and tell me if they sound reasonable or how much you charge?
Labor on-site repair: $75/hr
Labor off-site repair: $95/hr
Kingston DDR PC3200 512MB RAM: $119.99
Firefox and Thunderbird: $37.50(30 minutes of labor they said)
AVG Anti-Spyware/Spybot/Adaware SE Pro(all 3 pro editions): $99.95
Windows Re-Installation: $120-$150
Cleaning Service which consists of
-Spraying out the insides and keyboard etc with a can of compressed air
-Anti-Spyware package included
-Deleting ALL temporary files(including a few other areas Disk Cleaner doesn't find)
-Customize the start menu by organizing it differently.
-Turn off system restore(which I disagreed with)
-Uninstalling software that they'll never use
-Running defrag
This package includes alot of things. But each thing really only takes about 5 minutes a piece. This whopping cleaning package was priced at
$239.95
I got fired because I had an arguement about a couple of the prices being really high. Especially the ram considering you can get it for about $80 cheaper anywhere else.
