The fine print: Extra time is $65/hour after the included time or approved scope. Equipment is billed separately; new or tested used gear can be sourced when approved in advance. I don't guarantee ISP speeds and don't do advanced damaged-drive recovery, electrical or in-wall cabling, or support for illegal access.

How it works

Getting help is simple

No phone trees, no waiting rooms. Just text me and we'll take it from there.

1

Text me what's going on

Send a quick message. A photo of the error or your setup helps, but isn't required. Not a texter? Give me a call.

2

Free 5-minute chat & a flat quote

We'll talk through the problem and I'll give you an honest, flat price up front. If it's a quick fix, I'll tell you that too.

3

We get it fixed

We set a time that works for you. Drop it off with me in Wood Dale, or I come to your home. I get it working and give you a clear explanation.

By appointment. We'll find a time that fits your schedule, including evenings.

Questions people usually ask

Can I drop it off, or do you come to me?
Drop-off is easiest, and how most people work with me. Bring your device to me in Wood Dale, by appointment, and I'll get it sorted. Prefer I come to your home instead? I do that across the Northwest Suburbs of Chicago too. Just tell me which you'd like when you text.
How much will it cost?
You get a flat price before I start any work. No meter running, no surprise bill. If you're not sure what's wrong, an $85 diagnostic finds the problem and lays out your options.
Can I trust you with my computer?
Absolutely. I'm a local, owner-operated business with a former law-enforcement background. You'll deal with the same person every time. No rotating techs, no pressure, no upsells.
What if you can't fix it?
I'll tell you straight. If something's beyond a reasonable repair, or if replacing makes more sense than fixing, I'll say so and help you weigh the options honestly. No pushing you toward a sale.
How do I book?

Yes. Windows PCs, Macs, printers, Wi-Fi routers, smart TVs and streaming devices, and most everyday home tech. If you're unsure, just ask when you text.
