Service Call

Some problems cannot be fixed here in the store; usually these involve a network, a printer, or an e-mail connection. These are problems that can often be fixed quickly, which is good. Normally, a technician can switch from one job to another, minimizing wasted time. On a service call, that efficiency is lost, so we have to bill service calls accordingly; our current pricing policy is given below. Other problems are best dealt with in our shop; most notably, virus removal, which has long periods of down-time while a program scans or Windows installs.
