Diagnose a Sick Machine Right on the Spot

Why take the time and hassle to unplug your delicate computer, load it in the car and haul it across town to some high priced repair shop, where all your personal data lay in the hands of who knows who for who knows how long? INDIE PC of Spokane comes right to your location and troubleshoot/repairs your MS Windows based PC right on the spot. What better way to diagnose a sick machine than leaving it plugged in and recreate the issue(s) right there.. We've been at this many years and we know how long it takes to perform certain tasks, the amount of time to scan and seek out infection - we know what to look for, and how to deal with it. We see it every day.

Upgrades, Reconfigurations.. Has your machine slowed down, need tuned up or reconfigured for better performance? Let us check it out - see what it needs.

Servicing These Fine Brands
Many software and/or hardware issues/upgrades can be performed on the spot. Hardware issues and/or upgrades are of course a little different depending on the type of materials and exactly what needs to be done. Pretty standard though, parts & labor.., whatever it takes (call for details).

Viruses, Trojans, and Spy-Ware (oh my!)

Each time we turn around it seems there are new and nastier threats infecting people's computers. Scurrilous attachments to your e-mail, downloaded programs, trojan-laiden popups, shared files & floppies, all waiting to wreak havoc on your home or business PCs. Most newer more insidious internet parasites have the ability to install themselves right behind your back. Rogue-ware masquerading as AntiVirus or SpyWare apps with warnings of "You May Already Be Infected" - these are the virus themselves!

Big nasty balls of goo overwhelming your machine's security, often rendering it virtually useless. Many contain e-mail capability, once on your machine begin snooping around sending your personal information to Lord knows who.., copying itself to your address book or jumping across the network possibly rendering all your machine(s) disabled if not completely inoperable!!

The worms crawl in, the worms crawl out.. In your modem and out your...
Or you might just be a zombie. Your machine could be loaded with spy/ad/mal-ware. Silently watching every keystroke, everywhere you go on the internet. Collecting personal information, names, passwords, credit card numbers, e-mail addresses, to advertisers who fill your mailboxes with JUNK & SPAM.

Been getting a few more porno ads/pop-ups than you care for lately? This too could be the direct result of spy/ad/malware, quietly performing it's nasty little objective. We can clean your system of nasty worms, trojans, and viri.., spy/mal-ware infestations, install & update security protection and blockers to help the prevention of future attacks. We can also suggest ways to keep spyware at bay, and cut down on unwanted spam...

Maintenance for Your Business Computers

Your small business depends on the smooth operation of your MS Windows based computers, and having them hiccup & cough along only adds to lost time and wasted productivity. Machines that crash (hardware or software freeze-ups, etc..), can lose your valuable data. Business computers are every bit as susceptable to hardware failure or viral attack as home machines.

Once your machine has become compromised, many times your valuable data is lost as well. We can set up scheduled maintenance for your computers - clean, inspect, back up data.., on a weekly, monthly, bi-monthly, quarterly basis - whatever suits your needs. Invite us in to discuss the best solution for you.

Data Transfer, Backup and Recovery

Do you need data/files moved from from machine to another, one drive to another.. Looking for a simple home or small office backup solution? We may also be able to rescue files from possibly dead hard drives (depending on the way its failed..), or maybe something you've deleted? Call us and see what we can do.

*About Us, and Our Rates

Service calls to your home or small business are billed a flat fee of just $45 per hour (plus materials if needed). Less than you might expect for similar service (competing services may range from $65-160 per, with travel or other hidden fees - some charging $100 just to look at it).

$45.00 per hour 
For what we can do in your home (or place of business) in an hour or two (first hour $45 then billed in 1/2 hour increments), most problems solved within 1 hour, with a 2-hour top (on software issues). If what needs to or should be done takes longer than 2 hours, then we suggest The Full Meal Deal (see below).

Complete and Total Restoration: Just $125.00 (per machine)
The Full Meal Deal - We suggest this when a machine is really screwed-up and/or may take longer than 2 hrs to clean or repair. Viral/malware threats can embed themselves right into your machine just like big ugly warts, and sometimes the best (or only) method to clean it up is performing a Complete & Total Restoration.
That way we both know the machine is fresh, updated and safe! Done properly (not just a fast crappy job), averages at least 6-8 hours benchtime per machine.
Our Total Restoration is still less expensive than a couple hours labor from the other guy, especially considering hidden costs like travel plus separate fees to save data, software updates, etc... We're very thorough and do it the way we'd like it (or would hope) to have it done for ourselves.
(We have some other options as well,  let's just first see how bad things really are, exactly what we're getting into - and go from there..)

* Hardware issues and/or upgrades are of course different matters depending on type of hardware and exactly what needs to be done. Pretty standard - parts & labor, whatever it takes (call for details).

We're very straight-forward about our pricing and what we do. We like it like that. You will too. Nearly 20 years computing experience and over 10 serving the general public. Quick, knowledgeable.. We're responsible, established, and fully licensed.. No hidden fees, "travel time" or other nonsense. We will never try to sell you anything you don't need or will never use. We just don't do business that way.
