No surprises.
No exceptions.

// In-shop repair

Bring it in.

In-shop repairs are not billed by the hour — they are quoted by the job. We diagnose the device, tell you what it will cost, and you decide whether to proceed. No work starts until you approve the number.

Laptops and desktops — Windows and Mac. Common repairs include screen replacements, keyboard and power jack repairs, battery replacements, data recovery, and hardware upgrades. Some jobs are quick. Some require parts. We will tell you which before you leave the counter.

// Sample repair rates

These are typical ranges. Final price depends on parts availability and what we find once we are inside. Mac repairs run approximately double Windows — parts cost more and the work takes longer. Nothing starts until you approve the number. We service laptops and desktops only — we do not repair tablets or phones.

All commercial work is billed in full-hour increments. If the job runs 1.5 hours, you are billed for 2 — and we stay for 2.On-site travel within St. Johns County is included. Beyond that, travel is billed at $75/hr — and we will always tell you before we come.If the work turns out to belong in a lower tier, you are billed at the lower tier.

// Managed service

Or stop paying by the hour.

Hourly rates make sense when things break occasionally. If they break often, a managed agreement costs less and we start preventing problems rather than billing you for them. We will run the numbers honestly — if hourly is cheaper for you, we will say so.
