Frequently Asked Questions
What qualifies as an emergency?
If your computer issue is seriously impacting your work, studies, or business operations and can't wait 2-3 days for standard repair, it qualifies for our emergency service. When in doubt, call us and we'll advise honestly.
Is the emergency fee refundable if you can't fix it?
Yes! If we assess your issue and determine it cannot be fixed, or if the cost would be unreasonable, you don't pay anything - including the emergency fee. We only charge if we actually solve your problem.
Can you fix emergencies outside Inverness?
For businesses in the wider Highlands area, yes - contact us to discuss callout charges. For personal emergencies, we can offer remote support regardless of location, or you can courier your PC/laptop to our Inverness shop.
How fast is same-day really?
It depends on the issue, but many emergency repairs are done within 2-4 hours. Complex data recovery or hardware replacements requiring parts may take longer. We'll give you a realistic timeframe when you bring it in.
What if I need my computer tonight?
Bring it to us as early as possible in the day. If you call ahead, we can sometimes have a technician ready to start immediately. For truly critical emergencies, we can occasionally arrange after-hours work - call to discuss.
Do you have loaner computers available?
For business customers with ongoing support contracts, we can arrange loaner equipment. For personal emergencies, we don't typically offer loaners but can discuss options if your repair will take longer than expected.
