A customer in Orléans called because her HP laptop had "become unusable" — nearly two minutes to open a browser and constant freezing. She thought it was infected. The diagnosis found no virus: a bundled cleaner app, dozens of browser extensions, and 25 programs launching at startup were the culprit. We stripped the bloatware, trimmed the startup list, and cleared the temp files — it was responsive again in about an hour.
In most cases, yes. We remove startup clutter, bloatware, and junk files, and check for issues slowing you down. If the real bottleneck is an old hard drive, we'll recommend an SSD upgrade.
No — a tune-up cleans up junk, not your documents and photos. We still recommend a current backup before any service, and can set one up for you.
Most tune-ups are done on-site in about an hour. If a hardware upgrade like an SSD would help most, we can usually do that in the same visit.
If your computer is generally capable but slow to boot and load programs, an SSD is the bigger win. If it's cluttered with bloatware, a tune-up may be all you need — we'll recommend the most cost-effective fix first.
A standard tune-up is a flat rate — call or book for the current price. The quote is given before we start and you only pay if you're satisfied.
Most tune-ups take 1–2 hours on-site. We won't leave until your computer is noticeably faster.
Yes — we work at your location so we can show you what we did and answer questions. We'll also walk you through a few habits that keep your PC running fast.
A tune-up addresses performance issues on a working computer. If your computer won't start, that's a repair job — we handle both, just let us know what's happening when you book.
