+ PARTS AS NEEDED.
I am not in the parts business, this is a service business only. I can't compete with eBay or Amazon, they ship SAME DAY for many items now. You can ship cheaper parts here, but I recommend hand delivering more expensive parts, as you receive them. Thanks for your understanding and cooperation! You can find some parts at Best Buy same day if you're in a rush and want to deliver whatever is needed.
For my Labor I accept Cash, Checks made payable to Michael Higbee, Cashapp, Zelle, or $2/2%~ fee for cards or Venmo).
Review my SERVICE AGREEMENT, which I will have you sign at drop off.
*Parts as needed, and unless otherwise agreed. Prices may vary.

- $65 - Diagnosis/Minimum for Service. Regardless of the total time spent or the end result (success or failure), including simply plugging it in, power cycling it, other 2-minute solutions, finding the motherboard is bad, quoting for repairs that may or may not be a good value to do, etc. I can usually give you a ballpark estimate beforehand, and some computers just aren't worth fixing anymore (vs just buying a new one), often laptops or all-in-ones that are 8+ years old, and lifespans are getting shorter and shorter. I see a lot more failures at 2+ years now in those categories. Custom desktop/towers remain the most repairable computers overall, and are what I recommend. Some or all of this can often be put towards additional service, it depends how much time is spent diagnosing alone.
- $85 - Install/Reinstall Windows 10 /11*, (with minimal hardware troubleshooting). This is one of the most common jobs I do, as Windows likes to get corrupted and fail sometimes, that's just part of the deal. I upgrade a lot of people to a SSD (Solid-State-Drive) while we're at it, for a performance boost. You just buy the part! SSDs are very affordable now, and worth every penny. Data recovery is extra, depending on how many files. Setting up Office is $20 extra, using your Microsoft login information and subscription or license (Office is NOT included with Windows). I'm happy to do as much, or as little work, as you'd like. Windows typically activates automatically for manufactured computers, but you probably need a Windows LICENSE KEY for custom builds/New Motherboards! Windows is fully functional if not activated, but will have an annoying watermark. I do not offer keys for software, but can help you find them, to purchase yourself. I don't guarantee your license, that's between you, the manufacturer, and Microsoft.
- $120 - Recover up to 50GB of personal files AND Reinstall Windows 10 ($20/50GB over that, $80 additional max/TB for additional data recovery)
- $125 - Replace the CPU or Cooler. Includes applying fresh thermal paste.
- $150 - Motherboard/CPU Replacement including Windows Installation as needed. "All done and ready to use". This is my typical maximum for these jobs, even if we have to replace the motherboard TWICE (it happens).
- $180 - Full Custom-Built Assembly (from scratch) including Windows installation "Ready to use!" You just buy the parts yourself first, I can help. This price is for systems with up to 3 fans, +$10/additional fan, as a guideline of extra complexity for an extra charge. Prices vary depending on situation!
- $85 - One-hour house call, in West Seattle. Good for people who want a little training in how to use Windows 10 (or MacOS) more effectively, getting your software or printer setup, etc. Mornings only, by appt, usually only available in the West Seattle area within a 20 minute drive (may be negotiable for extra). This option is for computers that are already functional. Drop off for more severe issues, like if the system isn't starting, as I might need my tools and parts.
- I do offer telephone support in some cases, $65 for a relatively quick solution (20 minutes or less), otherwise it will make more sense to do a house call or drop it off. I'll generally give some free advice for a few minutes, but then I have to insist you either pay for telephone support, drop off for service, or schedule a house call. I can't just chat all day for free, so please keep it brief, stay in the present, and get to the point :)
