Realistic Pricing at Affordable Costs!
Retail Computer Stores have significant overheads - therefore, they find it necessary to charge a 'basic service charge', to ensure they meet their recurring bills and rising costs and commitments.
This 'Inspection Fee' , generally starts at £25. - I don't charge an Inspection Fee
I generally base my fee on Actual computer repairs, no matter whether it is software or hardware related!
This means that no matter what needs repairing - it is always going to work out cheaper to visit me than a computer repair store!!
I have never had a single complaint (so far!) from any of my customers, in regard to the price charged. What I would normally do is give you my price and then tell you what it would probably have cost in a computer repair store - on each and every occassion, my fees are routinely at LEAST 1/3 cheaper than the stores.
In addition!!...
It is really important to note....
Most of the time I spend in saving your important data /word documents/ photographs, etc.... This would NOT be carried out in ANY computer store. Computer stores do not have the time to deal with you on a personal basis because time is money to them.
Generally, they will recommend that your system be restored to the factory settings and simply advise you that all documentation and personal files will be lost in the process! Of course.... there is the exception to that rule where they can attempt a data recovery option for you - BUT - the cost for this is generally in the £100+ mark, which naturally disuades EVERYONE but the foolhearty!! Don't get me wrong... The data recovery is time consuming....therefore they are going to charge a price that will put you off, rather than accept it, as their workspace may be limited.
Tutoring Fees...
Tutoring fees are charged by the hour - which generally means that the cost will be £15 per hour and £5 for each half hour after that. You will not find a cheaper tutoring fee in the whole of Ireland.!
I will also ensure that you are sent appropriate literature, where required after each lesson, that will be specific to the information you have learned.
