When your computer has a problem, you usually have two choices: schedule a remote session or drop it off at a repair shop. Both options have their place—so how do you know which is right for you?


⚡ When Remote Sessions Are Best

  • Everyday issues like slow performance, email errors, or printer setup
  • Software problems including updates, installs, and cleanups
  • Quick fixes that don’t require opening your device

 

Remote sessions save time, cost less, and let you watch the repair from the comfort of your home.


🔧 When Shop Repair Makes Sense

  • Hardware failures like dead hard drives, broken screens, or power issues
  • Upgrades such as adding memory, replacing a battery, or installing new parts
  • Severe damage that needs hands-on diagnostics

 

Sometimes a physical repair is unavoidable—but many clients are surprised how much can be done remotely first.


💡 The Best of Both Worlds

 

Start with a remote session whenever possible. If your technician finds the issue requires hands-on work, you’ll know before making a trip.
