FAQ for On-site Tech Support

How much for an estimate?

On-site estimates are always free. However, if we fix the problem, a minimum of one hour will be charged for the service. If the problem is fixed in less than 1 hour, you may use the technician the remainder of the hour for whatever you wish.

What are your rates?

Hourly rates start at $60 per hour. We also have flat rates for various standard problems such as virus removal, tune-ups, internet and email setup, etc. You can find all of our rates on the "Rates" page.

It is 1:00 AM, Saturday morning and my computer is broken. Can you come fix it?

Why aren't you in bed? Yes, if we are available we can come fix it.

Do I have to provide a credit card to schedule?

No, we believe in people and therefore don't require a credit card. We do however ask that you be there for your appointment.

Is there a charge to reschedule or cancel?

No, but we would like as much notice as possibe so we can book someone else in that time slot.

Do you charge extra for nights and weekends?

No, we never charge extra for nights or weekends.

What is the best way to schedule an appointment?

We prefer you use the "Schedule Appointment" page for anything outside of 48 hours. You can always call 619-252-3462 to schedule, or if you have any questions that haven't been answered here.

Can you be here in 2 hours?

Assuming we are available, yes, we can be there in two hours or less.

How can I pay you?

US currency is best. Cash, personal check, business check, or credit cards are all acceptable forms of payment.

Unacceptable forms of payment include:

    • 50 lbs of catfish
    • Rubles/Euros/Yen/Pesos, pets/plants/children.
    • Exchange of services will be considered.
    • No, there is no discount for cash.

Can I bring my computer to your shop?

Because we do 99% of the work on-site, we don't have the need for a retail storefront. We can come pick it up, fix it, and re-deliver it to you. Turn around time is usually 24 hours.

Do you have parts for a ___________?

Since we do not have a retail storefront, we do not carry any inventory. We can usually order parts and accessories for less than what you would pay retail.

Are your tech's certified?

All of our tech's are Certified. Microsoft, A+, NET+, or Security+ certified.

Do you offer student or senior discounts?

At this time, no. Most people say our rates are already too low, so we can not afford to give discounts and still stay in business.

Don't you offer a referral discount?

Yes we do. For each referral that uses our services, you will receive 10% off any and all service for up to 1 year. So, if you refer 10 people, your service for the next year is free!

Do you have free computers?

Occasionally we get computers donated to us. We fix them and donate them to people in need. These computers are listed here on the home page as they become available.

Are you hiring?

Yes, we are always looking for talent, as long as you fit the standards and principals of On-site Tech Support. Please email or call for more information.
