It’s Christmas time!

You probably dusted off the old PC to do some Christmas shopping for the kids (or pets) only to get mad that it’s taking forever to load into your Amazon cart 😡 if this was you I think it’s time for a tune-up!

Did you know that dust build up in your PC can lead to reduced speeds?

The article below explains that increased dust can lead to blocked airflow and block cooling fans that would normally allow your computer to run at peak performance.

Starting today I will be offering a special $25 PC cleaning fee. I will take apart your PC/laptop and perform a cleaning to ensure that your PC is dust free!

Along with this I am also offering discounts on upgrades/repairs on common parts for the new year!

Shoot us a message today and get your computer working in top shape again!

Congrats to Kindra Bruninga for winning the free service cleaning! Please message me and we can arrange everything!

We are official! And to celebrate I am doing a free laptop/desktop computer cleaning!

I’ve mentioned this before but dust is the #1 cause that slows computers. It gets on the fan and can slow your core components so cleaning out any computer can show results!

All you have to do is like and share this post in order to be entered! On Monday 4/11 I will draw the winner and correlate with them a time to come pick up/ drop off their laptop.

*must be within a 30 minute drive of Pekin*

Pictures of your loved ones, memories of a vacation, times you never want to forget are most likely stored on your computer. No one wants to lose the amazing experiences they’ve had due to corrupt files.

But, at any given point that could happen. Computers aren’t perfect, and they make mistakes especially during updates. But with my knowledge of recovery and understanding of computer tech, I can almost guarantee that even if you feel as if it’s over, those precious files can be recovered and restored so that way you can continue to have joyful memories even if your computer falters.

Another wonderful project, as I was installing storage into a customers computer I noticed how dirty the computer internals were. Working diligently to make sure every inch was clean I strive for a near perfect cleaning service aswell.

Best part is I was able to order, install, clean, and service the computer for more than 50% less than your name brand tech service provider!

Along with helping Amy McCoy of Pekin Chamber of Commerce today, I had a customer message asking if I could clean her slow running laptop!

Of course I obliged and offered my services while her computer was fairly nice on the inside, there was definitely a problem area around the fan, if there is no good flow of air within your laptop, it can overheat the core of the laptop causing slow speeds!

Attached are pictures of the before and after of the fan

I do many side services aswell technology related, if you need help setting up items for a conference call. Or need help learning the in and outs of your new computer I am always here to lend a hand!

You may not know it, but dust gathering inside of a PC is the #1 cause of slow speeds in a typical computer. If your computer has been acting up recently(slow speeds, pages aren’t loading, can’t boot up) I would highly suggest you message me and I will gladly assist you in getting your computer cleaned up.

I have my computer hardware certification to ensure that you are getting the best treatment while your technology is being handled.

As a one man team I don’t have to charge the outrageous service fees that business do just for a routine cleanup!

Feel free to give me a message if you believe this suits you!
