How much will it cost?
These hourly rates apply to both carry-in and onsite customers:
For home users: $75/hr
For businesses: $90/hr
Payment Terms:
For home users, payment is due when work is complete or when you pick up your computer. For businesses, payment is due within ten days of the invoice. Late charges apply to delayed payments. Deposits are required for computer purchases or parts orders over $200. I am willing to be flexible if, in your situation, any of these terms seem unreasonable; just ask. Extended payment terms for corporations require a higher hourly rate.
Travel charge: $1.25/mile
One-way from downtown Corvallis to customer location, per trip. No travel charges within Corvallis or Philomath city limits. Travel to Albany is $15/trip; Lebanon, $30/trip.
Maximum: 3 to 4 hours (restrictions apply)
For carry-in customers, I will not charge over 4 hours on a single computer (3 hours for Windows XP), regardless of the actual time involved. This does not apply to onsite service (house calls) or business computers.
Minimum: ½ to 1 hour
½ hour for carry-in customers; 1 hour for onsite service or data recovery.

I reserve the right to refuse service. I will not get involved in any shady business practices (so don’t ask me to), and I insist upon an alcohol-free work environment when I come out to work on your computers. Thanks for understanding.
