How Much do You Pay for Computer Service

I own a computer business doing service calls. I charge in 2 different rates depending on what the customer feels more comfortable with. We have the flat rate fee or the hourly fee. hourly fees we charge 60.00 per hr with a one hour minimum because we all know a problem may only take 5 minutes to fix and after gas drive time etc, that being considerate. most companys charge a 2 hour minimum. Giving the customer the option has really made it successful because if i say ill charge 150.00 to fix your computer or we can do it hourly. The customer may think what if this problem on takes 1 hour and the company waist theres and my time (4-5 hours) to fix the problem. If someone does not care about money or they know what the problem is and just dont know how to fix it, they usually choose hourly. Friends and family i used to help out for free BUT... Something very important to konw in business is that you cant make rent doing it for free. After i realized everyone was always having problems and always needed help I started charging a very gernerous fee. Just the price for gas and maybe 10.00 to buy lunch.

it think ime in the wrong business i do all my own computers at $90 an hour ide be able to retier in a couple of years with the amount i do for people for free

With the companies you listed above they have a set rate you pay per hour. When we got a quote at work it was quite a bit for the guy to come out and do some work, but that may just be for businesses. My husband charges $75 an hour, my ex-husband charges $85 per hour, and our normal tech at work charges $90 (but we get a cut rate). One of our friends does computer work as one of his services and charges $120 per hour. I really think it depends on who the person is, how qualified they are and what company they work for. Most people who do it on the side and are affiliated with any company, charge less than the averGe going rate. Where I live you can get charged from %70 -$500+ depending on what you need done.

i do it myself so i don't pay for this. but when someone ask me to fix a computer i charge $6 for the service. or free if the computer owner is my friend

We have a private company come and take care of our computers. They charge $90 an hour. But they never take longer than an hour.

im do it my self

I don't remember myself ever paying for technitians to service my PC. I do it myself. It is even my side attractions to repair PC for clients at moderate fees.

i bought my computer when i was about 12 yrs....but when service came they charged 1000Rs. for just inspecting the system....later me and my dad lesarnt a lot of computer and now we buy things for computer and assemble them on our own so now it's free of cost

i never pay for computer service do my self and if i dont know how im ask my friends..

I live in pakistan, mostly I take my pc to the shop myself, never called some cmoputer hardware tech guy to do it @ my home, many problems are solved by myself because I have been in computer field since 5/6 years

I usually fixed my own computer, but if really I could not fix it the service fee in my country usually around US $ 5-10, very cheap.

i,m never ask computer technician. because i can service my computer

Depends on which country you are in. In my country you 1000 or roughly $20.

not really..i know how to fix my own computer..but when i dont really know..i dunno..i never tried

I've never pay for computer service. I always know what is the problem, if not I have internet to search for more complicated problems.Also I helped many times to my friends of course for free. If I do something for free to You I'll get same in return.
