| | Computer help / repair
Hello guys,
I am computer scientist apprentice in one of private schools in Zürich and decided to offer my services for reasonable price:
Laptop or PC Hardware (Replacement or Upgrade) – 30 CHF + part
SSD upgrade (makes your device +70% faster at booting up the OS & opening applications) – 30 CHF + desired SSD
Operating System Formatting – 30 CHF
Virus Removal (7 days guarantee if reinfected you will have free of charge another virus removal session) – 40 CHF
Complete Tune Up & Repair (virus removal + system upgrade + optimization + updates) – 60 CHF
Those are [b]ALL FLAT RATES[b] it doesn’t matter how much time will take to do a certain job you going to be charged fixed price!
If you are unable to bring your device you can always send it by Post and I will send it to you back [ALL TRANSPORT EXPENSES WILL BE PAID BY THE CUSTOMER]
If you have any other question please reply here or contact me through DM
NOTE: I work privately from home so I can’t do anything onsite! Most devices take 1-2 days to be repaired / upgraded. So, you can choose next day to come back to take your device or I can send it to you by Post

Those are very reasonable prices.
However I have a question: what happens if during the course of your repair or replacement, through your actions you further damage an expensive device or component? Are you insured against this?

So i´m very confident on my abilities and don´t overpromise!

As a minimum you need law and personal liability insurance. It doesn't matter about your skill leval, abilities or prices, it's the fact that nowadays people don't buy a product or service, they buy a price. So the more they can get for the lowest price by any means they will try, having these insurances allows you to negotiate fairly because of access to support when there is a disagreement. Chf500 should cover both.

It's rare, but it can happen.
Anyway, good luck OP.

I will look to make personal liability insurance this week | This user would like to thank nokivoki for this useful post: | |
