Computer Service

Kolby’s Computers offers in-home service for most issues. Our standard hourly rate for in-home service is $85/hr within the Comox Valley or Campbell River.

 

We also offer many flat-rate services if you bring your computer to us. These flat-rate services offer a significant discount for our most commonly offered services compared to our standard hourly rate.

SSD Upgrade – Starting at $99.99

Upgrade your computer’s Hard Drive to an SSD. All SSD upgrades include a full backup and restore of all your data.
An SSD is the single most noticeable upgrade you can make to your computer. An SSD uses flash memory chips to store your data rather than a spinning magnetic disk. Using flash memory results in exponentially better performance, much better reliability, and quieter operation. An SSD can be installed in just about any computer purchased within the last 10 years.
