“We realized it was so much easier to get help at home! No need to disconnect wires or worrying about lugging the PC to the shop”
Computer Problems Don’t Have to Cost a Fortune
Few things are more frustrating than a slow, glitchy, or malfunctioning computer. But what’s even more frustrating?
Spending hours — or even days — lugging your device to a local repair shop, waiting for diagnostics, and getting hit with a hefty bill.
At PCFixPros.com, we believe computer repairs shouldn’t drain your wallet or your time. Our flat-rate remote support service is just $79 — and in most cases, we can fix your issue the same day, without you ever having to leave your home.
In this article, we’ll explore how remote support compares to traditional in-store service, what you actually get for your money, and why PC Fix Pros is becoming the smarter, more affordable choice for individuals and businesses alike.
The Traditional Computer Repair Experience (and Why It Costs More)
Let’s start with what happens when you take your computer to a local repair shop.
- You have to take time off or drive there. Many repair shops have limited hours — and if your issue occurs at night or on a weekend, you might be out of luck.
- You wait… a lot. After drop-off, the shop typically “checks in” your system, adds it to a queue, and then runs diagnostics — sometimes days later.
- You’re charged hourly. Even if the actual repair only takes 20 minutes, many shops have a 1- or 2-hour minimum. At $100–$150 per hour, that adds up fast.
- Hidden or variable pricing. Many shops charge extra for parts, software licenses, or “bench fees.” You often don’t know the total until the work is done.
- Your data may leave your sight. You’re trusting someone to handle your personal files or business data in their workshop — without visibility into what happens next.
Now let’s compare that to how PCFixPros.com works.
The PC Fix Pros Approach: Flat-Rate Remote Support
At PCFixPros.com, we’ve built our entire service model around affordability, transparency, and convenience.
Here’s what makes us different:
1. One Low, Flat Rate — Just $79
No hourly billing. No hidden fees.
For a single flat-rate session, you get a certified technician who remotely diagnoses and repairs your issue — often in under an hour.
That means:
- No paying for “bench time.”
- No surprise add-ons or upsells.
- You always know what you’re paying before we start.
2. We Work 100% Remotely
As long as your computer still connects to the internet, we can securely log in and repair it without you leaving your chair.
We use trusted, encrypted remote tools to:
- Remove malware and viruses
- Fix software crashes or slow performance
- Troubleshoot email, printer, or network issues
- Install or configure programs
- Clean up startup apps and registry clutter
You can literally watch the entire repair process in real time.
3. Same-Day Service — No Waiting in Line
Forget waiting 3–5 business days for a local shop to “get around” to your system.
We can often start within hours of your booking — getting you back online faster than any walk-in service could.
4. Expert Technicians, Personalized Help
Our technicians aren’t part-time retail employees or trainees. They’re experienced IT professionals who specialize in remote system diagnostics and repair.
You’ll work one-on-one with a real expert who explains what’s happening in plain English.
5. Optional Subscription for Ongoing Support
For customers who want peace of mind all year, we also offer a low-cost subscription plan that provides:
- Unlimited support tickets
- Ongoing maintenance and updates
- Priority response time
- A dedicated tech familiar with your system
For frequent users or small businesses, this plan can save hundreds of dollars annually compared to per-incident repair fees.
Real-World Cost Comparison
Let’s break down the math:
| Service Type | Average Cost | Hidden Fees | Turnaround Time | Data Security | Transparency |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Local Computer Repair Shop | $100–$150/hr (avg. total $200–$400) | Yes (bench fees, parts, rush service) | 2–5 days | You hand over your computer | Limited |
| Big Box Retail Repair (e.g., Best Buy) | $250+ flat diagnostic + hourly | Often | 3–7 days | Hand-off to unknown techs | Limited |
| PCFixPros.com Remote Support | $79 flat rate | No | Same day | You stay in control | Full transparency |
💡 Result:
Choosing PCFixPros.com can save you up to 75% compared to traditional repair shops — and you don’t have to leave home.
Common Issues We Can Fix Remotely
If your computer can still connect to the internet, we can handle most problems, including:
- Slow performance and freezing
- Virus, spyware, or adware removal
- Email setup or errors
- Printer or network connection problems
- Software installation or configuration
- Operating system tune-ups
- Browser hijackers and popups
- Startup optimization
- System cleanup and maintenance
If we find that your issue can’t be fixed remotely (such as a hardware failure), we’ll let you know upfront — no wasted time, no wasted money.
The Hidden Costs of Physical Repairs That Most People Don’t Consider
Even beyond the shop’s hourly rates, there are hidden costs you might not think about when bringing your system in physically.
1. Lost Productivity
If you rely on your computer for work, school, or personal projects, every hour offline costs you time and potentially income.
2. Transportation Costs
Gas, parking, and time spent driving back and forth — it all adds up.
3. Data Privacy Risks
Leaving your computer in someone else’s hands opens the door to accidental data exposure.
With remote service, you can see everything we do and even end the session anytime.
4. Pressure to Upgrade or Buy Extras
Some physical shops upsell new parts or entire systems you don’t need.
At PC Fix Pros, our only goal is to fix what you already have and help you save money.
