Our standard turnaround time for computer repairs is 3-5 working business days. This time frame varies from time to time based on our current load of repairs at the time of check-in, or the amount of service calls required by our contract clients. Repair time will also be affected if we have to order parts. We also offer express (1-2) day and emergency services. Please see store for current details and pricing.
