Getting accurate quotes
Smart approach
Know your computer make and model before calling. Describe what you use the computer for so technicians recommend appropriate upgrades. Ask if quotes include installation, backup, and testing. Check parts warranty length and coverage. Compare two or three quotes but watch for rock-bottom pricing that usually means cheap parts. Verify the quote covers any additional needs like power supply upgrades.
