Q: Do
you take VISA or MasterCard?
A: Yes. We can accept Visa, MasterCard, Debit, and PayPal,
as well as cash or authorized check.
Q: I'm bringing in my computer for repair. What else do I
bring in with me?
A: For Desktop Computers you will only need to bring in the
tower itself. For Notebooks or Laptops, please bring in your
A/C Power supply. No monitors, keyboards, mice or power
cords are necessary. The second most important thing to
bring are the Restore and/or Program Disks that came with
the computer (Windows Re-installation CD, Microsoft Office
CD, etc.) These will be used to perform software maintenance
on the computer if required.
Q: Do you need my Passwords?
A: Login and Administrator passwords are important to have
available in order to access your computer. Email passwords
may be required for repair and can be obtained later where
required. Changing your passwords periodically, especially
after service, is always recommended.
Q: What about my data, files, documents, etc? Will I lose
all of my information?
A: Every effort is made to preserve the data on your hard
drive; however, we cannot guarantee your data. The best
action you can take before bringing your computer in for
repairs is to back up your data on a separate medium such as
CD-R, DVD-R, or a Flash drive. We can back up your data as a
stand alone service if you are not sure how to do it. We can
also help you install and maintain a data backup system in
your home or office.
Q: How long will my repairs take?
A: Our walk in customers are on a first come, first served
basis. Typically, your equipment will be diagnosed and
repaired within 24 to 48 hours. A full service operating
system reinstallation may take longer. After the initial
diagnoses, you will be contacted and informed of your
options and asked for approval before we proceed further.
(Occasionally, software or a new part may need to be ordered
and shipped for your equipment, which could add 2 - 3 days
to the repair process.)
Q: Do you sell maintenance contracts, looks like I might
need one?
Yes we do. We offer different types of maintenance
contracts to meet individual needs. Obviously a 24/7 Home
Office and Business maintenance contract is a different fee
structure from a single user 9-5 business day contract which
in turn is different from a 24/7 single user or family
contract. We have a contract that will suit you.
When you buy an Arqucom computer you get a very advantageous
three year maintenance contract.

Q: Is my
computer worth fixing?
A: We are dedicated to giving our customers an honest
assessment of the value of investing money into an old
computer, versus applying that towards a new computer. In
general, it is not recommended to invest a significant
amount of money to repair a computer more than five years
old. However, some computers that were higher end five years
ago can be upgraded and rejuvenated for additional years of
use. The addition of RAM can make a big difference, as can a
Windows reinstallation.
Q: Do
you sell computers?
A: Yes! Not only do we sell computers but we build excellent
computers. Arqucom computers can be custom built to suit the
exact nature of the kinds of tasks you wish to carry out on
them. Currently we have four distinct high quality computers
in production. One of them is bound to suit you.
The Four Arqucom models range in price from $675 -
$1,650. These are excellent computers that work brilliantly
'out of the box' and come with Flat Screen Monitors,
Speakers and Mouse and Keyboard.
However, we will configure any computer of your choosing. We
will set it up configure your internet access, and transfer
all of your data from your old computer.
Q: Do you work on Mac computers?
A: Yes! We do work on Mac computers for setup, software and
networking issues. The physical repair of Mac’s for hardware
problems should be done by Apple if possible, or their
designated service center.
Q: What are your hours?
A: Seven days a Week: - 10AM to 10pm. A call to the office
before coming in is recommended where possible. We can come
to you when we schedule custom hours during the day in the
evening or on weekends for an additional charge if your
schedule demands it.
Q: Do you repair monitors?
A: No. We can diagnose monitor problems, but because the
cost of new monitors continues to fall, it's usually more
cost effective to purchase a new one with a full warranty. A
new flat screen monitor can clear up a lot of room on your
desk.
Q: Do you
repair printers or copy machines?
A: No, a specialist who deals exclusively with your
particular model should repair your copy machine. Printers
can often be repaired and can be helped by being cleaned and
serviced. Call us for a local repair technician
recommendation.
