COMPUTER REPAIR IN PORT ARTHUR

The furthest point we drive to, right down on the coast — and the clearest case for letting the work come to us instead.

WHAT IT TAKES TO GET TO YOU

1 hr 55

From the bench in Hemphill

South

Direction from Hemphill

$60

Call-out, or $0 if you bring it in

Labour $60/hour Call-out $30 within 20 miles of Hemphill $60 beyond Port Arthur, TX is past the 20-mile line by road, so a call-out here is the $60 band. There is no call-out at all if you bring the machine to Hemphill, and plenty of jobs never need a trip in either direction — see below.

SERVING PORT ARTHUR

At the edge of the range the maths changes: shipping a machine or booking a remote session usually beats two hours of driving in each direction, and for websites the distance is irrelevant entirely. When a trip genuinely is the answer, it gets scheduled properly rather than squeezed in.

  • 🔧

    Repairs on the bench

    Virus removal, tune-ups, SSD and memory upgrades, screens, batteries, data recovery, operating system reinstalls.

  • 🖥️

    Builds to order

    Gaming rigs, workstations and office machines, specced for what you actually do rather than what is on the shelf.

  • 🌐

    Websites

    Distance is irrelevant for web work — design, build, hosting and search setup happen the same wherever you are.

  • 🛡️

    Networks and security

    Wi-fi that reaches the whole building, routers configured properly, and an honest answer when the fault is your provider.

HALF OF IT DOESN'T NEED THE DRIVE

Port Arthur is 1 hr 55 away, and we would rather tell you that a job can be done without either of us moving than charge you 60 dollars to find out.

// What actually needs a visit
  • Fixed remotely, usually same day — viruses and malware, a machine that has slowed to a crawl, software that will not install, email and printer trouble, a new computer that needs setting up properly.
  • Needs the hardware in front of us — screens, batteries, drives, memory, anything that will not power on, and data recovery. None of that can be done down a wire by anybody, whatever they tell you.
  • Never needs a trip at all — websites, hosting, domains and search setup. Most of our web clients have never seen the shop.
  • Not worth repairing — sometimes that is the answer, and you get it before a call-out is booked rather than after.
