It's the first thing everyone wants to know, and most shops won't tell you until you're standing at the counter. Here's the straight answer for on-site repair, what's included, and when replacing beats repairing.
On-site computer repair from A Geek On Demand is billed at $150 per hour with a 1-hour minimum, and the first hour covers full diagnosis plus most common fixes — there's no separate diagnostic fee. A typical repair runs $150–$300. Because we bill hourly you only pay for the time the job actually takes, and you'll get a firm quote after diagnosis before any additional work begins. Software-only problems can often be handled remotely for a flat $100.

Estimates are typical residential ranges and assume our standard hourly rate. Because we bill hourly, the final cost depends on how long the job actually takes — it can run higher. A business rate or any active discount may change your price. You'll always get a real quote after diagnosis.
Common questions
Is there a separate diagnostic fee?+
No. Diagnosis is part of the first hour at $150, and most common problems are also fixed within that hour.
What if the repair takes longer than an hour?+
Work continues at the same $150 hourly rate. We keep you posted on time as we go and you'll have approved the direction after diagnosis, so there are no surprises on the final number.
Could it be cheaper to just replace the computer?+
Sometimes. If a machine is more than about seven years old or needs a new motherboard, replacing can be the better value — and we'll tell you that honestly rather than run up hours. We can still recover your files and migrate them to the new machine.
