By Essie Osborn


Nothing is wrong with getting a computer repaired as opposed to buying a new one. Sometimes it is the more prudent choice for it will save you several hundred dollars if you come across a reliable repair technician or service provider. When we do however come across a flat fee laptop repair Plantation Fl offer we should take this with a grain of salt.

A flat fee is too good a deal to past up you might say, since most services do variable costing that seems not to make any sense at all. This is not to say that the offer is at all bad, but one need to look at the negative aspect of it before plunging in fully for the deal.

These deals actually crop up when new players in the repair service market want to get in on the action. By knowing that lower fees will attract a greater amount of customers, they undercut the prevailing market rates to get more customers. They do this to create a customer base, even though they may not have had enough industry experience to warrant one.

If the ad that you are looking at has no address printed on it but a telephone number only, then be a bit cautious. A business without an address is a bit shady so you should be careful or avoid it altogether. If it does not have an address it is possible that the ad is also pushing forth freelancer services which cannot guarantee your money back if something goes wrong during the repair process.

It is a good idea to ask your friends and workmates if they have seen or availed of the services in the ad that you have seen. Inquire from each one if they have had their laptops repaired and how they got around to doing it and where. It is always a good idea to ask people we know when we see something new to get reassurance or advice.

If curiosity gets the best of you, then there is no harm in going to the place where the purported service is being offered. See if it is a respectable place of business or if it looks like a shack or a garage. Once you have a look, you can basically gauge if that is the place you want sending your beloved laptop to or not.

And more importantly do talk with the service provider if you have the chance. Ask why the service is cheap and why he is offering it. Ask questions to gauge his or her expertise and inquire regarding possible causes of the malfunctions of your unit and what he or she can do to address the problem. Inquire also what will be intended or charged as regards spare parts if these will be charged at cost or at a premium to you.

In the end the final decision is yours, but do not do so until you are fully convinced or not of your action. Always keep all bases covered and see things from all angles before committing your hard earned money for repairs.
