lol Why cant people just fix comps on their own

Fortunately, I'm not stupid enough to need to go to a comp repair shop EVER. If I did though, I'd rather go to Geeksquad and overpay $100 than hear one more thing about your "teks". Seriously, you're fixing computers, not watching children, illiteracy is not cute.

This is an interesting segment though, bus as big unit said, I too am glad I am able to put computers together and diagnose hardware/software problems. But you wont catch me working for eight dollars and hour fixing your stuff either. Sorry, but we dont get this training to give away underpaid labor. Do it yourself or go buy a whole new system if you expect that.

I agree, people who are certified did not study computer science to work for poverty rate saleries. Hire trained professionals and pay them properly, and you can then demand qualified professionals. Pay them an insulting wage for their knowledge and expect the guy from burger king working on your equipment, with maybe one person on the shift with decent knowledge to guide him along. I can answer phones and make more than that. Its ridiculous. Seriously what do ppl expect?

Geek Squad does hire people without A+ Certification. I do have mine but I am not a CIA, I'm a COA so I don't typically work on machines even though I am smarter than most of the agents there. For honest to God good help....it's not easy to find now a days, because employers will not spend the money for good people. They expect to do the same job for $8 an hour. They are WRONG. No good tech will work for $8 an hour. **** Geek Squad and **** Best Buy!!

Glad I know how to fix computers my self I knew some computer teks were bad but this is crazy. What a bunch of moochers truing to get charge 100's of dollars for a loose cable the only good one there was the one that did it for free.

Nice comment I trust Mexican techs...I had a computer repair when my computer was crashing and I couldn't do anything about it...they charged me 100 bucks...but worth it 'cause they installed some kool programs that I knew it cost more than what I had paid...

Honesty is what counts in a work eviroment but you shouldnt charge an arm and a leg for something so small to fix.

Does anyone know how much it costs to keep a computer shop open? They actually loose money on PC repairs because of wasted man-hours alone. If PPL are too dumb to fix a hard drive cable on their own why should the shop fix it for nothing? I agree that lying to customers seems bad but a mans gotta eat. Besides if you fix something for nothing once you'll be expected to do it again.

yeah i dont see a problem with a diagnosed problem price they quotes for a simple fix, after all, if you go to a mechinic and all you needed was a vaccum tube reconnected, he still chargers $80 to look at it
