With email account hacking becoming a common occurrence, email providers Google, Hotmail/Outlook.com and others have recently introduced a 2-step verification process

Cheap Unlicensed Computer Repair -
"You Get What You Pay For"
Do you have a friend or neighbor who works with computers in their spare time? Do they actively keep-up with the computer industry and fix computers on a daily basis like we do?
Computer Techs has been in business since 2003, and our technicians have over 20 years of computer experience.
Our calls for service have leveled off in the past few years due to an abundance of new inexperienced and unlicensed computer repair people. Similar to hiring an unlicensed contractor to work on your home, it may be cheaper to go with someone else in the short term. However, you can count on Computer Techs to get the job done quickly and correctly, and we'll be available the next time you need service. We are often called to finish repairing what someone else didn't fix correctly.
We appreciate referrals

· If you recommend us to a friend or family member, as a way of saying "thank you" for referring us we will reward you with a discount on your next service call. For details please see the details of our $20 referral reward.
· When people search the internet for computer repair, they often search Google, YellowPages.com or Yahoo Local. Please consider leaving a review of our service at one or more of the following web sites: Google Places Review
Thank you.
