Computer need repair? \u00a0Maybe a little maintenance or is it having software issues? \u00a0<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Maybe it has viruses? \u00a0Or did Windows crash?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

So how do you choose where to take your computer for repair?<\/span><\/h3>\n

Should you just choose the cheapest tech you can find?<\/h4>\n

Would how you choose a doctor that way? \u00a0How about an auto mechanic? \u00a0If the best thing a technician or company can say for their service is it is cheap, shouldn’t you believe them? \u00a0And of course you realize that sometimes the cheapest service can be the most expensive thing you can do with a computer? \u00a0Servicing your computer does not have to be expensive but cheap will always \u00a0be…well, cheap. \u00a0We have found that, though our hourly rate is higher than some, we are often less expensive in the end due to our extensive knowledge and professional tools we have at our disposal. \u00a0Done right is often less expensive than “done cheap”.<\/p>\n

Should you go to the tech who can get to it right away?<\/h4>\n

Is that how you would choose a restaurant? \u00a0Maybe\u00a0you should think about why they have so few other customers? \u00a0Since when did not having any customers become a sought after attribute in the repair of ANYTHING? \u00a0Lets face it, how fast they will look at your system is not really the questions is it? \u00a0Maybe it should be more about when you will get it back. \u00a0We hear from customers all the time about how they took it to someone who was available “RIGHT NOW” only to have the system still in that shop a month later. \u00a0If you need it right now, we can do that but since we almost always have a waiting line, we charge extra for cutting in line.<\/p>\n

What difference does it make anyway?<\/h4>\n

Do you have data such as photos, documents, or software you really don’t wish to loose? \u00a0Any hack can just reformat you computer…most of the time a real tech can save your data and even your software without reformatting be it from a virus or a dying hard drive. \u00a0If nothing on your computer matters, then it won’t really matter and the tech who answers “why use you” with “Because I am cheap” may be just right for you. \u00a0If your data and software do matter, maybe you should come see Custom Computer Technologies, Inc.. \u00a0for professional services by professional technicians.<\/p>\n

As C2T does not like\u00a0repair estimates prior working on systems. Why not go to those guys who give estimates right away?
\nDoes that mean they know more than C2T’s techs?<\/h4>\n

No, I don’t think that means they know more. \u00a0I feel it means they are just making it up. It is, I suppose, possible that someone is clairvoyant and just knows what is causing a problem but we, at C2T, are not. \u00a0For example, a hard drive which has bad blocks early in the volume, a operating system which is viruses and bad RAM can cause almost exactly the same symptoms. \u00a0However, the repair costs for each of those possibilities varies substantially. \u00a0 Yes, there are some things which are clear and easily estimated, but many are not. \u00a0Should a tech just throw out a wild guestiment to\u00a0to earn your business and then just surprise you later with the real costs? \u00a0That is not how we do business. \u00a0I will tell you what I can, when I can and work hard to take good care of you. \u00a0That includes trying to keep all costs reasonable and exploring other options. \u00a0However, \u00a0I won’t just make stuff up to get your business. \u00a0Why would you trust anyone who does?<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Here is MY answer to “Why use C2T?”:<\/h2>\n

There are a lot of problems a person can have with their computers and many more reason for those problems. \u00a0So why should you bring those problems to Custom Computer Technologies, Inc.? \u00a0 Well, the easy answer is because we are good at what we do. \u00a0C2T has been in business, with the same service manager since 1997. \u00a0That should say something. \u00a0More important however, is the knowledge and tools we posses.<\/p>\n

While legally anyone can claim to be a “computer technician”, \u00a0our technicians posses many actual industry certifications such a “Microsoft Certified Professional”, “Certified Network Technician”, “Certified Windows Technician”, “Dell Certified Systems Expert” and many more. \u00a0As well, C2T is Authorized by many manufacturers to sell their products. \u00a0Anyone can sell these brands but we have the formal relationships with the manufacturer’s others simply do not. \u00a0In many cases we must pass quarterly or yearly product and\/or skills testing to maintain these authorizations. \u00a0That means we get better support from them and you, therefore, get better support from us. \u00a0 Some of our authorizations and partnerships are: AMD, Intel, Western Digital, Seagate, MSI, Asus, Gigabyte, Dell, Acer, Hewlett Packard, Toshiba, Cisco, Microsoft (Authorized OEM Systems Dealer) – (Microsoft Authorized Refurbished Program) – (Microsoft Authorized Reseller), \u00a0Lenovo, \u00a0IBM, and many more.<\/p>\n

We also keep the largest stock of computer parts in the area. \u00a0So that tech that can “get to it right now” may not be the fastest after you have to wait for them to order even basic components. \u00a0We keep a selection of power supplies, hard drives, optical drives, RAM, cables, adapter, coolers & heatsinks, fans and much more…IN STOCK.<\/p>\n

There is no doubt you can find someone claiming to be cheaper…we however, \u00a0strive to be better. \u00a0Quality work by experience and knowledgeable people is seldom cheap. \u00a0However, it should be noted that among the long term professional tech shops in Helena, our prices are firmly in the middle and our service is second to none.<\/p>\n
