subject: Past & Present Computer Repair Services [print this page] The domain of computer repair service has come a long way. Remember the days when one had to lug the entire hardware system to the repair shop and then wait in line to get it back in order. Often one had to wait for a day or two to get the trouble pinpointed and then resolved. All this involved precious loss of time, money, energy and of course functionality. Today a home or business purpose user can hardly afford to lose that much time when your college project submission or daily operations depend on your computer.
You switch on your brand new computer at 10 in the evening and find that the Internet connection is not working. You pick up the phone and call your computer repair service technician who asks you to check the connections and you discover a loose chord and then everythings fine.
Or the connection seems to be working fine but still you are unable to send or receive e-mails. The technician connects to your computer by way of remote desktop software access and checks your browser configurations. The problem is resolved by changing some of your settings and you are good to go; the entire procedure taking a few minutes without you having to step out of your house.
The Development
Computer repair service has increasingly evolved with highly qualified personnel using sophisticated technologies to provide a complete range of solutions for every known computer issue. The level of pro-active support that repair service companies provide is unmatched in any other field. With round the clock technical support by way of phone or e-mail you are never left in the lurch.
Further with on-site and online maintenance you do not have to leave the precincts of your house with service technicians coming to your doorstep if they are unable to resolve the issue by way of remote access, a rarity these days.
What to look for while selecting a repair service provider
Plans: Check if the service is offered in Pay As You Go packages or one which offers monthly or annual subscription. Select one that is suitable for your needs like if you are a home user then a Pay As You go plan could be more convenient while a small business user would be better served by an annual subscription.
Support Methodology: Verify if the support covers phone, mail, remote (online) as well as On-site options and if the services are 24/7. Also in case of annual plans if all support features are part of the package.
Compatibility: Ensure that the level of support covers the top brand names in the industry
Range of Services: A reputed computer repair service provider should be able to resolve all issues from the basic troubleshooting ones like start-up errors to the high end ones like system crashes and security enhancement. Reliable service firms also help educate their subscribers providing for self help tips and sessions so you dont have to depend on them for any issue that could be resolved by yourself.
