The Computer Guy has been operating in Independence Missouri since 1998. We have over thirty years experience in the field of computer, security and network design, maintenance and repair as well as virus removal and protection. We serve both the consumer and commercial customer base. Our motto is "Take care of the Customer first - Ask questions later.
Our Environment Friendly computer renewal service is one of our most popular services. Computer Renewal will make your computer run like it ran when it was brand new. In so doing, we backup all of your critical data, wipe the computer clean, re-install the operating system (windows) and other essential programs and then restore the data back to the computer. This process completely removes years of residual data build up that slows computers to an almost halt. This service can be done for about ¼ of the cost of purchasing a new computer and saves the environment.
We can also help you put together a disaster recovery plan for your whole computer system. Then when disaster strikes we can get you completely recovered and operational within hours. If you are a business this is a must. If you do not have a disaster recovery plan in place you are running on borrowed time.
Give us a call today and have an IT Professional help you through these and other challenges today.
