Common questions
Can you set up a Mac as well as a Windows PC?
Yes. We prepare both Windows devices and Macs, including accounts, software and connected equipment. Tell us which computer the new device is replacing.
Do I need to start the setup myself?
You can leave the initial setup to us or ask for help partway through. Let us know what is already complete and where you became stuck.
Can I keep my photos and documents?
We can copy files from the old computer or a suitable backup. Keep the previous device until the information you need has been checked.
Can you show me how to use the new computer?
Yes. Tell us which everyday tasks you want explained, such as opening email, finding documents or checking a backup, so time can be planned for them.
How do I find out about pricing?
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 336 367 to discuss pricing, or use our repair estimate form to send the details.
How long should I allow for the job?
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.
