The Get Right Computers Satisfaction Guarantee
We have a very simple policy, if you’re not happy you don’t pay. We don’t do this by inflating our prices, we actually take the time to find out what you want. We get it right (yup, that’s the name) the first time, every time.
Not sure if you need a tune-up or a complete reinstall? Don’t worry. If the tune-up doesn’t work you can always do the reinstall. No, you won’t pay twice. You only pay for what you need so if the tune-up doesn’t do the trick, you don’t pay for it.
We will be at the Home, Garden and Outdoor Show on May 15th at McClure’s Tate Orchard. Hope to see you out there!
