The imaginatively named “Rick Austinson PC Repair” is my home computer repair business—my home, not yours.
By working out of the house, I am basically available to receive or distribute computers 24 hours a day, instead of maintaining normal business hours like you might expect.
I fix every brand/model of computer and work on a pay-for-results system, E.G.: if I don’t fix your problem, I don’t charge you anything. My fee is $25 an hour with a 1 hour minimum. Services include but are not limited to:
|
- Virus/spyware/malware removal
- System tuning
- Upgrades/repairs
- Downgrades
- Data recovery
- Data destruction
- New OS installation
- Whatever else you happen to need

If anything needs to be replaced I charge cost of parts. Since I typically buy retail there is no margin. I do have emergency services if you absolutely need it done by tomorrow(for an extra fee, of course).
Additionally, I do custom PC builds. Not just high-end gaming machines, either(I do build those too, but not exclusively). Whatever you need, I can tailor a PC to your specific requirements. Don’t know what you need? Don’t worry, I do. Just describe what you do with the computer and I’ll put together a parts list.
How successful are you at data recovery? This is one of those areas that is highly specific to the problem at hand, but the short answer is: very. It really all depends on the exact nature of the problem. I have had very good luck in the past; I have many powerful tools at my disposal and plenty of experience.
Data destruction, what’s that? Let’s say you’ve just bought a new computer, you want to get rid of your old one, but maybe you’ve got old emails, accounting information, what have you, stored on there that you want destroyed. I have powerful data destruction tools that can wipe that hard drive so clean not even the NSA can recover it.
Will you come to me? Short answer: no. But you don’t want me to, and here’s why: A good portion of my work involves letting status bars slowly creep across the screen. A good, thorough virus scan, for example, might take 3 hours. If I come to you, then I have to sit there for those 3 hours and charge you for it. But if you bring the computer to me, I can just set the scan up and come back when its done. See, I only bill for the time I spend actively fixing your computer.
Give me a call, I can work miracles. 805.302.4737
