Hardware Support
Computer repair, printer setup and maintenance, hardware troubleshooting, and equipment upgrades for all major brands.
[ 01 ] Overview
Hardware fails on its own schedule, usually right before a deadline. The laptop that won't boot the morning of a board meeting, the printer that decides Friday afternoon is the time to die, the monitor that flickers only when nobody's looking. The work is partly diagnostic, partly logistical — figuring out whether a thing is fixable, fixable-but-not-worth-it, or replaceable, and getting the user back to work fast either way.
We do general hardware support for small businesses, agencies, and individual professionals across San Diego County. Workstations and laptops — Windows, Mac, Linux. Printers, scanners, multifunction devices, plotters. Monitors, docks, peripherals. Servers and NAS for the businesses that still have them on-premises. Component-level repair where it makes economic sense, board-swap replacement where it doesn't.
For organizations with more than a handful of users, we'll quietly turn one-off repairs into a standing relationship — a small monthly cap that covers the routine stuff, hourly above the cap for the unusual. The point isn't to sell hours; it's to be the number people call before they Google something and click the wrong link.

[ 02 ] Common questions
Do you fix Macs?
Yes — Apple hardware including iMacs, MacBooks, and Mac minis. We can handle most repairs short of those that strictly require Apple's authorized service program (some warranty work, certain board-level repairs on the latest models). For those we'll tell you and route accordingly.
How fast can you respond?
Same-day for emergencies inside San Diego County, next-day for non-urgent. We don't operate a 24/7 SOC — for after-hours critical support, we'll set expectations in the agreement, not the marketing copy.
My printer is ten years old — can you keep it alive?
Probably, and we'll tell you honestly if the answer is "you should be planning a replacement." Older enterprise printers often have decades of life if maintained; older consumer printers usually don't. The honest answer depends on the model and parts availability.
Do you supply replacement hardware?
Yes — California Reseller Permit, sourced from major distributors. We'll quote both the repair and the replacement so you can decide on the numbers, not on a sales pitch.
Are you available for ongoing support contracts?
Yes. Most clients use a small monthly cap (a defined number of hours, rolling over within the quarter) plus hourly above that. Predictable budget, no retainer pressure to spend hours just because they're there.
