Service

No contract. No retainer.
Just show up and fix it.

When a computer dies, software stops cooperating, or you just got new equipment that needs to actually work — you need someone who comes to you, tells you what it'll cost upfront, and gets it handled. No ticket queues. No call centers. A local tech who picks up the phone.

Computer problems that cost your business time

We handle the workstation and software issues that actually slow small businesses down — on-site, in plain language, at a fair rate.

💻

PC Repair & Rebuild

Slow machines, Windows failures, hardware replacements, RAM and SSD upgrades. We assess, quote, and fix — no guessing.

🦠

Virus & Malware Removal

Something acting weird? Pop-ups you didn't ask for? We'll clean it out, patch the gaps, and tell you what to watch for going forward.

💾

Data Backup & Recovery

Setting up automated backups before disaster strikes — or recovering data after a drive fails. Don't wait until the machine won't turn on.

🖥️

New Equipment Setup

Got a new laptop, desktop, or workstation? We'll set it up right — accounts configured, software installed, and ready to work the way your business needs.

Call, schedule, fixed

No intake forms. No ticket numbers. Here's how a typical service call goes.

1

Call or text us

Describe the problem — we'll ask a few questions to understand what we're dealing with. In most cases we can give you a ballpark estimate over the phone before we ever show up.

2

We come to you

On-site service for businesses across North-Central Illinois. No need to box up your computer and ship it somewhere. We work where the equipment lives.

3

Flat diagnosis, honest quote

Before any work begins, you get a clear scope and cost. If we can't fix it, we tell you straight — and you pay nothing for the diagnosis time on warranty-type situations.

4

Get back to work

We fix it, walk you through what we did, and leave you with documentation of the work. No mystery, no upsells, no "you should also replace this, this, and this."

"I'm not a 24/7 managed service provider — I can't guarantee same-day response at 2am on a Sunday. What I can tell you is that for the IT problems small businesses actually face day-to-day, I show up, I fix it, and I charge a fair rate. If your issue needs specialized equipment or a higher-level partner, I'll tell you that too."

— Steve Dennis, Prairie Valley Tech

$100/hour — billed to the half hour

No retainer, no contract, no minimum. You pay for the time we're there, nothing more. If parts are needed, we'll tell you what they cost and get your approval before ordering anything.

What people ask us
Yes, for most common issues — network connectivity, software problems, account setup, and peripherals. Deep hardware repair on newer M-series Macs is more limited (Apple has locked down a lot of that), but we'll be upfront about what we can and can't do before we come out.
We cover businesses across North-Central Illinois — Polo, Byron, Dixon, Oregon, Rochelle, Stillman Valley, Monroe Center, and surrounding areas. For locations further out, give us a call and we'll figure it out. Travel time beyond our core area may apply.
We'll tell you straight what we found, what the options are, and whether it's worth repair vs. replacement. If the hardware is dead beyond our ability to recover it, we'll give you a recommendation on a replacement path. We won't charge you for time spent chasing a lost cause without telling you first.
For businesses that need regular IT attention — quarterly check-ins, ongoing maintenance, backup monitoring — we can put together a recurring arrangement that works for your situation. Reach out and we'll talk about what makes sense.
We try to accommodate urgent situations on weekends and after hours — text us and we'll let you know availability. After-hours service calls may carry a premium rate. We'll always tell you before we commit.
