Remote computer supportCall Australian Computer Doctors on 1300 057 008 or use the enquiry form on this page. Tell us your suburb, the device and what you need help with. We will discuss pricing and arrange a home or workplace visit, or remote assistance when the task is suitable.
Our minimum labour time is one hour per job, and many jobs only need that hour. If more time is needed, we bill in 15 minute blocks. We do not charge call-out fees or travel costs. For onsite work, the time starts when your technician arrives. Parts cost extra if needed. The total depends on the fault and the work required, so we can give a more accurate estimate after diagnosis. Call us on 1300 057 008 to discuss pricing, or use our repair estimate form to send the details.
It may be, but check the applications and peripherals you depend on first. Consider your storage needs, connections, support and preferred way of working. Pre-purchase advice can help compare a Mac with suitable Windows alternatives.
We can discuss suitable documents, photos and account setup. Programs do not automatically become Mac applications, and licences or file formats may need checking. Tell us what matters most so we can plan the transfer and explain limitations.
We can assess the Mac, the symptoms and any backup, then discuss repair, file transfer or data recovery options. A startup fault alone cannot tell us whether every file is accessible. More complex recovery may need our data recovery network, and no recovery result can be guaranteed.
Many jobs take around an hour, which is our minimum labour time per job. If extra time is needed, we bill in 15 minute blocks. After diagnosing the issue, your technician can give a more accurate time estimate and explain the options, taking the work needed and your budget into account. Some repairs need parts or work offsite, which can affect the time before the computer is ready.
