We are different in several significant ways. First, Jim and our technical associates are very experienced in a broad range of computer technologies, and understand the business framework of which computers are a part. We're not just fixing or upgrading a machine, but explaining options based an your present and future use of the system, so you make better decisions. Second, we speak English, not Geekspeak, because our objective is to communicate, not to impress you. Third, we maintain low rates and do not charge for travel.This addresses the major problem of our clients, which is that the high rates and inconvenience of the past kept people from using the services, which kept them in a low-computer-performance prison. Specifically, we keep our rates low by using our network of part-time, non-salaried associates; not maintaining a store-front; not being part of any franchise operation that severely raises expenses that are always passed on to the consumer; and not having commission deals and minimum quotas with 3rd party manufacturers that compromise our recommendations. This formula has worked, as witnessed by the Testimonials from our happy clients.

The Computer Shrinks does a great job maintaining our Server, Network, Laptops, PC's and Peripherals. We use them for all our computer needs including wiring for new computers, securing our network and even software upgrades. They are very responsive, flexible, and reasonably priced. I highly recommend TCS as a one stop computer vendor.

I had NTS Associates (now The Computer Shrinks) install a wireless network and virus protection procedures. They did a great job and had the best prices. In fact, they were the only company of the three that I called that didn't charge for travel. I would recommend them to anyone and will be using their services again.

The Computer Shrinks Corp. has serviced both my business and home computers since December 2004, and based on my experience, I recommend them without reservation. My Law Office simply cannot function without a smoothly running computer system. TCS has been quick to respond, is very knowledgeable, and has a pleasant attitude—all of which really helps when issues occur with our workstations or our Server acts up!
As an expert user myself, I am amazed at the range of computer issues that can spring up, and that TCS could understand and fix all of them. I have also found TCS to be very fair and honest, which is critical since you're at the mercy of your computer service provider. Their pricing, policies, and obvious customer-centric focus are exactly how I would run a computer service business, so I am comfortable in recommending them highly.
