1) When someone brings you a PC w/o a monitor and you connect it to one of
yours, it finds new hardware. When they take it back home and hook it up to
their monitor, will it just work as usual? I normally go to people's
houses.
Yeah, it should work fine.
2) How do you clean a machine if it does not have adequate virus protection?
Do you load the drive into an existing system and scan? Do you temporarily
install an AV system, scan, clean, and then remove the AV system?
Putting the drive in another machine is probably best.
3) If you image their system for them (Ghost, Acronis, etc.), do you load
their drive on another system to image it?
Nope.
4) Charges - If you do not mind giving me some guidelines, what do you
charge for:
For onsite work, charge by the hour. I charge $55/hr (Cdn) from the time I
leave the shop. If it's out of town, I also charge mileage. Find out what
everyone else in your area charges, then match their rates, and provide
better service. Once you've proven yourself, raise your rates.
I charge by the job for in house work.
5) How do you all market yourselves?
Radio ads.
I would be doing this in the evenings and on weekends on a sporadic basis.
Are you sure you want to get into this part time?
