Services & Pricing

Browse residential and small-business services in separate sections so the catalog stays easy to scan. Appointments are available by arrangement.

Coverage centered around Crown Point, Indiana 46307, and surrounding Northwest Indiana communities.

How pricing works

Fixed-price services include technician dispatch within our standard service area. You will not be charged both the diagnostic fee and a fixed service price for the same service.

The $75 House Call & Diagnostic applies when the issue does not already fall under a listed fixed-price service. When an issue is resolved through a fixed-price service, the customer pays only that service's listed price. Parts, replacement hardware, paid software, subscriptions, licenses, recovery laboratories, and third-party fees are additional unless specifically stated otherwise. Any additional charges must be approved before work proceeds. Extended travel outside the standard service area is quoted before booking. Starting-at services depend on the device, model, condition, accessibility, complexity, and required parts. Prices apply to standard residential service unless identified as business pricing.

Frequently asked questions

Is a diagnostic fee added to every service?

No. Diagnostic pricing is used when the repair has not been booked as a fixed-price service. Fixed-price services already include the listed scope for that job.

What is included in House Call & Diagnostic?

It includes technician dispatch within the standard service area, the initial visit, and a first look at the problem with an explanation of the findings.

Are parts included?

Not unless the service specifically says so. Replacement parts, accessories, subscriptions, shipping, and third-party charges are additional when needed.

Do you support Windows, Mac, Linux, and Chromebooks?

Yes. The catalog includes support for Windows, macOS, Linux, and Chromebook setup and troubleshooting.

Do you work on gaming computers?

Yes. Gaming-PC diagnostics, repairs, builds, upgrades, cooling, and testing are listed above.

Do you work on phones, tablets, consoles, and televisions?

Yes, with model and service limits. The page lists supported setup, troubleshooting, and modular repair options for those devices.

Do you repair printers?

Yes, for setup, troubleshooting, accessible maintenance, and common connection problems. Major internal mechanical repairs or unavailable parts may require referral.

Is pickup and return service available?

Yes. Pickup and return is free with an approved repair of $99 or more, or $39 when there is no approved repair.

Do you guarantee data recovery?

No. Data recovery attempts are quoted work, but recovery results cannot be guaranteed.

Can you bypass passwords or activation locks?

No. Legitimate account recovery is supported, but passwords, activation locks, stolen-device protections, and provider security systems are not bypassed.

Do you do soldering, motherboard repair, or liquid-damage repair?

No. Microsoldering, board-level repair, and liquid-damage repair are not offered.

Do you handle electrical wiring?

No. Only low-voltage cabling and network work are provided. New circuits, breakers, outlets, and line-voltage wiring must be done by an electrical professional.

Yes. Small-business pricing is listed separately and includes on-site support, remote support, network help, backup setup, workstation setup, and after-hours options.

What happens if service requires additional work?

The recommendation and expected charges are explained before additional paid work begins, and you decide whether to proceed.
