Introduction: Why im HONEST something when the internet started was the norm now its how much can i make of my customers an still have them come back or refer me. PEOPLE SHOULD BE HONEST FAIR PRICE FOR SERVICES! these computer shops and geeks i've heard horror storys about how much they charge to fix computers and it makes me sick some charge as much as it would be to buy a new computer. Don't be taken advantage of its criminal in my book. What happened to ethics. I have had great customers that realize im charging to little and they pay me more an i have to hand it back but sometimes i take it and it makes both of us feel better. Those are good days. Oh I love my job I get to meet people I've never met help them fix things I actually have a special niche for and I get to make new friends and they get a good deal an i in turn get a good referal. it seems pretty simple i dont know when things took a strange turn to greed an self centered money hungry step on the next person to make things better for yourself. Oh my gawed I am so Old.

The Computer Ferret did an excellent job of repairing my computer. He had it finished when he said he would and was polite and courteous. We just had a little "hiccup" when trying to meet up with him in order to give him the computer, which is why I'm giving him only four stars. However, I feel like he was trustworthy. I would definitely use him again if I ever need work done on my computer.

FAQs

What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
No complicated price system I will tell you what I have to do about how long it will take and ask you what you think you should pay to get it fixed or if you have a price from any other shop I'll do it for half. Im not cheap im actually helping you an your helping me. One referal for doing good will get you another and another and the best thing for all is trust you have to trust someone and like them to bother having them fix it... Give me a call you'll be suprised.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I really should but I've been very busy maybe after the new year. And I bet i could get a nice jump on an online degree. Gotta see what kinda courses I could take out there that would put me in a better position to help people. personally the older i get the more i want to help change things like my community make a local medical station learn some dentistry skills maybe apprentice at a vets office. Oh an start a garden i found the way to grow bigger plants bigger and wider hole and the right dirt.
How did you get started doing this type of work?
Oh do you all really want to know? I've always been a creative artistic wanderlust person. I prefered cutting grass working in the landscape nursery even had a job at a grave yard but i felt weed eating the headstones keeping the graveyard nice an neat for the folks familys that came to visit was very rewarding and I got a nice tan an exercise. I had to exercise my mind and one of my friends roomates was a man that made the poker an blackjack software that sc gambling board passed and I asked him if i could bring my computer to him for help. It was a $1,200 dollar packard bell from Circut City. Yes thats how old i am>. Lol well I strapped it to my motorcycle an dropped it on the showroom floor and said this thing is crap he looked at it and told me that it was because its proprietary he said I need a new case board chip you can use your drive cd soundcard and I said sell me what i need he said he had a scratched case in the back I said yes pentium 75 and an intel board yes yes yes he went to the back an i stripped the PackardBell pc on his floor he came out an laughed at me. well long story short I was there everyday. When I finally left I came to NC and started working for another outstanding man that if horders had seen his place they would want an intervention. But the guy was so smart and he did keep what looked like junk to me but now 15 years later he was the smart one... i've always been crazy about things an how they worked so this was a perfect fit for me..
