The only way we are going to know some things, is if we go through them ourselves. It’s no different when it comes to West Palm Beach computer repair. Then again if we know someone on the inside then it makes it a whole lot easier to learn. Before I got involved in the West Palm Beach computer repair industry, I had only speculations about certain things that were possible. After I got West Palm Beach computer repair certified I learned the ins and outs of the business. I realized there is a lot that goes on in the West Palm Beach computer repair industry that isn’t exactly palatable. I’ve worked next to many solid techs who feel the same way. I can speak for most of us; it’s time to raise the bar for West Palm Beach computer repair. I felt the best way to do this was by informing you, and giving you some heads up on some things to watch out for.

West Palm Beach Computer Repair Privacy

I can’t stress enough how vulnerable your personal information is when getting your computer worked on. There are absolutely no West Palm Beach computer repair regulations or requirements to be called a computer repair tech, and provide services. You may have private pictures, private documents, and username and passwords saved on your computer. Just about every West Palm Beach computer repair tech knows of, and has access to, programs to help you get to this information when you forget or accidently delete these items. These same programs can be used maliciously by a computer repair company to access and retain your private data, including email username and passwords which will then enable them to retrieve all your personal accounts information. I really hope there are no West Palm Beach computer repair techs doing this, and I can rest assured if they are certified then they are probably not. Fact remains you leave yourself open to these kinds of things when allowing West Palm Beach computer repair hobbyists, or side gigs, repair your computer.

Up charging In West Palm Beach Computer Repair Parts

There is nothing wrong with a West Palm Beach computer repair company charging a few dollars to go and pick up parts to repair your computer. West Palm Beach computer repair shops also have to charge sales tax in some situations. There is a practice in some West Palm Beach computer repair situations where an up charge of 30 percent or more is taxed onto the already discounted prices for parts, when repairing your computer. Make sure you at least check the prices they are quoting you, with the prices in stores like CompUSA. You will see if there is any mark up. Also make sure West Palm Beach computer repair techs are putting in the new parts they are charging you for, and not some used parts they took out of the last customers computer (unless you have agreed to let them do this). This happens oh too often, but not just in West Palm Beach computer repair scenarios, this happens in the industry as a whole.

Do Not Pay Your West Palm Beach Computer Repair Company For Free Software

West Palm Beach computer repair shops will gladly suggest and install all kinds of software at your request. There are many free software editions out there to meet just about every one of your needs on a basic user level. Please make sure when your West Palm Beach computer repair shop is installing the requested software such as antivirus, CD burners, photo manipulators, etc and charging you for it, that it’s not actually free software. If they tell you it is free and you feel like paying them for their time to install it, that’s another issue, however they need to tell you its actually free or they are in danger of copywrite infringement and taking money for something they have no right to sell.
In short please make sure you find a Certified, reputable, trustworthy company that has references to trust with your West Palm Beach computer repair needs. In following updates, I will be adding to the list of things to watch for, as this is only a couple. There are great West Palm Beach computer repair companies out there, make sure to get connected with one!
