Angry Geek Squad

Then why must I go to another computer repair and paying about 250 dollar for dust and do ccleaner?

When I did repairs, general tuneup was $89. That included diagnostics of hardware, file system cleanup, malware scans, and performing updates to software. That's way more fair for the time I'd put into it than the high school n00b at Geek Squad that will do almost nothing and charge $150.

People like good value for their money. Do you think someone would rather pay $150 for no value service, or $89 for quality service? I know I like good value. I don't want to pay money and not get something out of it.

How about go to a forum, buy a can of compressed air and clean it yourself? It'll only cost you around ten dollars for the can of air and about an hour (max) of work, and most of it consists of waiting for the software to do its job.

Any, I repeat, ANY computer repair place that charges that amount of money for this ridiculous task is taking advantage of people's lack of knowledge on the subject.

Charging $150 to run a free program and dust the PC is not a huge rip off, they do their job.

I like comparing costs. As you said, CCleaner is free. Now, for about $150 I could buy this http://www.homedepot.com/p/Husky-8-...PIPHorizontal1_rr-_-100392283-_-202564847-_-N and http://www.homedepot.com/p/Husky-12-Piece-Brass-Air-Compressor-Accessory-Kit-HDA51300AV/100392283 and do the same service an awful lot of times before I need a new compressor. Do it 2 times and you've saved money on the $150 for a single service.

Do it once and you can see how little time it actually takes.

Did you actually go to another store where you were quoted $250 for a cleaning and running CCleaner, or are you just speculating?

Might as well lock the thread before we all catch this disease of "Pay-a-lot-for-free-repair-itis"

What I really don't understand is why are you have something against them while my college mate has done great job with my computer in geek squad and I need to paying more on other computer repair? Where do you heard that people doing nothing for 150 dollar?

Yes I did. I researched website and meet them for more information. It cost a lot than normally. Geeks Squad is the only cheap repair computer in town from past. I keep asking... Why must I paying another repair computer far more expensive than geeks squad.

This is obviously going nowhere.

The stupidity is depressing.
