A 320gb refurbished hdd? That might be a $10 part with a $90 reinstall fee.
A lot of the time this depends on the hard drive you want/need. Factory reinstalls are a great way to speed up your computer, they are just a bit more invasive and take more time to complete. Other times we may need to back up your data and do a complete factory reinstall. I’m talking 5 minutes while you hang out in our lobby quickly.
Sometimes a software bug can be fixed easily and quickly.
Basically, we charge fair prices for a professional service. Our labor rates vary by job difficulty and expected bench time, and are priced competitively for a professional repair shop. You also might get quoted a lot higher from some of our competitors. Hopefully Bob won’t accidentally delete your data either). You’ll likely find cheaper prices if you let “your Uncle Bob who knows about computers” fix your laptop (but you might end up here anyway. Keep in mind that these price ranges reflect our company’s labor rates which may vary by market. It’s worth a trip!ĭisclaimer over – Some price ranges are below. And even if you still decide a repair is to costly, we can help you transfer your data to your new computer, securely erase your data from your old machine, recycle your old machine, or potentially offer you cash to purchase your old machine from you. We can give a lot of estimates within 15 minutes, and almost all the rest within 24hrs. If you’re deciding between a repair vs replacement, you should always let a professional (preferably us!) take a look at the problem and give you a free quote. Out of the customers who bring in a computer “knowing exactly what’s wrong with it”, over 50% are wrong and the underlying cause is an entirely different issue. PLEASE do not make a decision to repair or replace your computer based off a price range without getting a free quote. I’ve included a few price ranges below but first a little warning: Really looking for a price range? We know our answer (above) is a bit broad and generic and a lot of people are hoping for a specific price range. We’ll include both labor and parts (as needed) in the quote so you know what it will cost to fix. We’ll take a look the problem you’re having, find the solution to fix it, and give you a free price quote. Here at Computer Repair Doctor, we offer free quotes for exactly that reason. Short answer? It depends on the problem! Just like bears and bowls of porridge, computer repairs come in many different shapes and sizes.
