The very best way to find a qualified computer technician

Feb 22, 2015

When computer problems arise there is no shortage of choices when looking for someone to repair your computer. Money is always one of the first considerations when choosing a computer tech. Even though big, well know companies like best buy and Staples need to charge more to cover their operating they should provide a more professional experience, or do they? Like all large businesses these monster stores have a high turn over because they typically pay their techs a lower wage. The kid that you just let work on your computer remotely online may not be there tomorrow. Many customers tell me that there is very little accountability are large companies. Regardless of the size of the business from Best buy to the independent working from home there is always a chance that you may make the wrong choice.
Your best option is always going to be a referral from a friend or colleague who had a good experience. Google reviews are also a good source because these reviews are from real people. Companies like Angie’s list don’t mention that they do actually let companies buy a better rating. They don’t actually take money directly for the ranking but they sell premium listings. This is just another way of being paid for a better ranking. My business is listed with Angie’s list as a “basic listing” meaning that I did not pay for a premium spot. If you go so far as to type my business name in a search on Angie’s list you will not find my business on the first page. You will find other companies who have paid for the top spots. All of these companies make money from delivering customers to clients. These leads are based only on how much the business paid for the top spot. It doesn’t matter if you need a laptop or desktop repaired your best bet is a referral from other real people like yourself. You might also keep in mind that supporting a computer repair business that provides discounts or free lessons for seniors helps to expand this help for seniors to more communities. Computer Doctor Boise has an outreach program for seniors. Search “free computer lessons for seniors.”
