Call Us To Schedule an Appointment – 830-237-1924
Our technician will come to your location and get you taken care of. We are out of Canyon Lake Texas but will travel all over the Hill Country. Our clients are in Wimberley, New Braunfels, Seguin, Blanco, Boerne, Bulverde, San Antonio and Austin.
We like to meet new clients. Customer satisfaction is key and face to face contact is important to us. While your problem may be something that can be taken care of remotely, first time clients are scheduled for a service call so our technician can see the details of your system.
If the job is larger than we can do in a service call our technician will discuss taking your computer with him to work on at our office and bring it back to you when it is complete.
When you call our office: we will ask how you heard about us, what the problem is and the year and operating system of the computer. If you don’t know, we’ll help you figure it out. We like to know as much as we can to better prepare our technician for your visit.
We also can work on tablets, phones, surround sound stereo systems, video camera surveillance systems, printers, scanners… the list goes on. That being said, our tech is usually booked days in advance, meaning he can only spend a limited number of hours with you before having to get to his next appointment. If the work runs long, he will reschedule you for completion, and if there is something he needs to take and work on he will do that.

IN OTHER WORDS: Be aware of where you go on the internet, what you click on to open, what you are agreeing to when you install something. Never install an exe file unless you trust the source. Never click on a link in an email to update your information. Be on alert!
Use a cache cleaning service, install a real-time anti-virus and anti-spyware program and implement a firewall. Allow for automatic updates and scheduled scans. Leprechaun Technical Services can help.
