The Best Computer Repair Shop Near Me Doesn’t Exist

 

 

I like to think that there is a PC repair shop at every corner.  Unfortunately, nothing could be further from the truth.  What can you do if your computer implodes, and you have nowhere to turn?  Here are some options for the best computer repair shop near me.

 

Best Computer Repair Near Me:  There is Nothing Within Miles of Me

If you live in a tiny little rinky dinky town that doesn’t have a single little computer repair shop near me, then you might need to get creative.  That’s right, you may need to start calling other cities nearby.  In fact, this happens frequently in rural areas where shops are scarce.  I would highly recommend looking in nearby towns and then moving to larger cities.  Unfortunately, there is just no way around this little dilemma.  Worst case scenario?  You may need to drive an entire state away just to find a computer repair shop near me.

 

Best Computer Repair Near Me:  My Issue Can’t Be Fixed Online

There are some instances in which you can call a computer repair shop and they can fix your issue online.  As a matter of fact, there is a name for this, it’s called “remote access repairs”.  Remote access repairs usually entail the installation of a program (on your end) to allow another user access to your PC.  However, you should never give a stranger access to your computer.  If you don’t know the company or person accessing your computer, DO NOT give them access.  There are many scams in the world today, and many of them involve remote access.  If you aren’t sure what you need, then call a local PC repair shop.

 

Best Computer Repair Near Me:  Asking Your Friend “Average Joe”

Everybody has that one friend, let’s call him “average Joe” who tinkers with computers.  Usually, this friend can fix basic issues and get your computer running again.  However, there is a caution behind this recommendation; sometimes “average Joe” breaks your computer more.  In fact, a quarter of computer repairs occur because someone’s “friend” tinkered with their computer a little too much.  I would definitely be cautious about asking “average Joe” for assistance with your computer.  There are PC repair shops that offer free diagnostics, there really is no need to ask your friend for help.  Call the experts to get a quote first! 

 

Best Computer Repair Near Me:  Please Don’t go to Geek Squad for Repairs

I’m not picking on Geek Squad because they are a motherload of a corporation or because they are evil.  Nope, it’s because I get hundreds of complaints every year about these people.  Everything from a computer being wiped to bad diagnostics, it’s never-ending incompetence.  Forget that their employees can get rude and snippy with you or even lie a little bit.  It’s just a bad place to get your computer fixed overall.  Please go to ANY other PC repair shop on the planet, literally anything else is better.  In fact, if you can support a small mom and pop shop that would be even better.  I’m all for supporting small businesses and everything they represent. 

 

Best Computer Repair Near Me:  Checking YouTube Videos for Help

YouTube has a place in our world, but PC repair isn’t necessarily it.  I can’t tell you how many times someone has come into my shop and said, “well the YouTube video said to do that”.  Let me educate you a little on YouTube videos.  First of all, YouTube videos are infamous for leaving steps out, usually it’s important ones too.  Second, repairs look much easier on video than they are in real life.  Most PC repairs on YouTube are being performed by PC technicians with years of experience.  In other words, they have done this a million times, making it look super easy.  Finally, if you break your computer more than it originally was, then you’re just going to end up paying more to fix it.  This last one should be motivation enough to not try and fix your computer yourself.

 

Best Computer Repair Near Me:  Is Calling your Ex About a Computer Problem Really Worth it?

This is like calling your friend “average Joe”, but instead you call your ex.  Yikes!  It’s late at night, and your computer is frozen right in the middle of your term paper.  Unfortunately, you didn’t have the mind set to save it and now you’re completely panicked.  What do you do?  You immediately call your ex and ask them what to do.  Of course, they get snarky and tell you to turn the computer off, but this might delete your term paper.  They will proceed to lecture you on the value of saving your documents frequently and then you will probably end up fighting.  In the end, nothing got resolved, you lost your term paper, and you just feel crummy.  No, don’t call your ex.

 

Best Computer Repair Near Me:  In the End, there is Always Google!

Asking Google or AI can be a complete death trap when you are desperate for answers.  I have seen people try all these steps that Google recommended and end up bricking their BIOS in the process.  It can not only damage your computer to follow steps that you know nothing about, but it can also make it harder to repair your computer for a technician.  In the end, you should just take your computer to a PC technician for a free evaluation.  In fact, a free diagnostics is far less damaging than the damage that Google can do with its crazy recommendations.

 

Best Computer Repair Near Me:    Ship Your Computer to a Reputable PC Repair Shop

Not all PC repair shops offer the option to have computers shipped to them.  However, if you find a really good PC repair shop that you would like to do business with and they accept shipments, then do it. I don’t particularly like to do business via mail, but sometimes it’s necessary, especially if you live in a rural area.
