Computer Tune-Up
Report
I don't know of any machine that doesn't require maintenance at some time or another. In business the term often used is preventative maintenance. This is because the whole point is to prevent a problem from occurring at what is almost always an inconvenient and usually costly time. A Tune-Up System addresses both your hardware and software issues that build up over time as you use your computer.
Dust builds up inside causing components to run too hot shortening their lifespan. Opening and closing files causing them to get broken up into hundreds and even thousands of pieces over your hard drive cause it to work much harder, shortening its life and slowing down your computer. Viruses, spyware and root-kits are always a threat not just to your security but also to the performance of your system. Authors of this malware have become more sophisticated and are creating ways to fool your anti-virus and anti-spyware to ignore real threats. Well check your equipment to ensure your equipment is not infected and that your current software is performing properly.

Data Recovery
Report
Modern hard drives are a truly amazing feat of engineering. The hard drive in our computer probably spins at 7,200 RPM. If your car engine turned that fast it would probably blow up. Yet it continues to work after days, weeks, and even months of continuous use. If you're LUCKY, your hard drive will begin to make strange sounds, usually something like clicking noises to let you know something is wrong. Worse would be clicking and clunking sounds you're really in trouble at this point, yet its not too late.
But often times you get no warning at all and perhaps you get the blue screen of death when your computer boots. Or maybe you go to open the file you were working on yesterday, and your computer locks up or you get an error message. If our technicians cannot recover your data, there is no charge and your drive will be returned to you exactly as it was delivered. Give us a try and pay a tenth or less of what you might pay.

Backup Systems
Report
Unless you are one of the very few people to never lose data because of a system or hard-drive failure, you know the sinking feeling in your stomach that happens when you realize you've just lost important financial information, customer information, or projects that you've spent days or weeks working on. Or perhaps is was a home computer with family photos and videos on it.

Call us before this happens, your business can be up and running with new equipment, your applications and information completely restored within HOURS! Its not magic, its a system!

Laurie has helped us out of many a jam! She comes to my office and helps us connect printers and computers to the right WIFI. She helps me at my house to make my home computer faster. She helps my 80-yr old mother with her computer and let me tell you - my mom loves Laurie. Laurie is capable, friendly and reliable.

I've used Laurie many times for both my business and personal computers and she's been amazing every time. I run a small business and when issues come up (servers down, hard drives bad, or just crazy computer stuff, etc. etc.) she fixes it and gets us back and running quickly. We have 10 computers here running all the time plus a server, etc. and so you can see how we have more issues than a regular household.and Laurie has kept us running safe and sound.
Some of the things seem crazy complicated to me but she fixes them every time. On top of that, she's totally fair with prices and I don't feel ripped off. Totally recommend her.

This review is long overdue; my apologies to Laurie Scott, who deserves better. Laurie is a great technician, and takes the ideal of service to her customers to a new level. She gave me more of her time than I expected, and made several return trips to my home to bring back my PC and parts, at no extra charge. I am particularly pleased with the job that Laurie did in replacing my apparently failing hardrive with a solid state drive, which is working beautifully at present moment. Having moved away from Austin, I fully intend to have Laurie (remotely) do an annual check-up on my PC.

Laurie once again saved me from infections and viruses on my commuter by an "expert scammer". I have used her services for around 5 years. She faithfully maintains our computers each month and is always there for us in emergencies. On almost all occasions, she is able to address and fix our computer problems remotely - on the same day that they occur. My wife and I sing her praises often.

Laurie Scott responded to my emailed request for service promptly. When i explained my problem over the phone, she seemed to understand what i was talking about (I'm not conversant in "computer-talk"). When she arrived -- right on time--at my home, she went right to work. Clearly, she had come prepared to resolve my problem. As often happens, the solution to one problem uncovers another problem, and Laurie was great in addressing it all.
She needed to make several trips in order to accomplish this, and she was always considerate of my availability. I was impressed by her professionalism, courtesy, knowledge and communication skills. She explained what she was doing and gave me some great shortcut tips -- I learned a lot in the process. I would definitely use Laurie again, and I will recommend (already have) to my family and friends for their computer service needs. She's great!

Laurie Scott of Tek-Chic Systems in Lakeway Texas has been quite an amazing find! After going through several "tech support folks" including one where the guy that showed up told me point blank that the company was a scam (he was not- and he did the job -but still) - and yes they 3x charged my credit card for one visit. I found Laurie - and she has been my saving grace ever since.
I am a "techie" but don't claim to have any desire to handle the "innards" of my computer. Laurie has helped me through 3 virus clean-ups, 2 hardware upgrades, 2 new computer upgrades and a migration to Windows 7. She is prompt - she knows what to do - she does it right - her prices are great - and she always calls me back. Those are things you just can not find in a tech support person. Call her today and find out for yourself - you won't be sorry.
