Temporary Web Site Up + KIXE Auction Info -

Tech Help Web Site:

Well, an extremely unpolished and very temporary website has been quickly thrown together for sendtechhelp.com. Please excuse the sloppyness... our real site is being put together and should be operational sometime in November... so please stay tuned.

KIXE Channel 9 Holiday Auction:

I have always been a big believer in public radio & television. The diverse, high quality programming available to all of us in the Northstate through our local PBS station is simply not available from any other source.

That's why Tech Help! Computer Services is donating two of our "PC Cleanup Speacials" (valued at $100.00 each) to KIXE Channel 9's Holiday Auction...

Watch & Bid, Live on Channel 9, November 2-3, and 9-10 starting at 7:00 pm.

This is a great opportunity for you to support your local public television station by bidding on a product or service you would have purchased anyway... You kill two birds with one stone and we all come out ahead. Kinda nice when things work out that way, don't ya think?

There are tons of great auction items available... please take a moment to look at what's available. (and, of course, be sure to bid on the Tech Help! PC Cleanup ;-)

That's all for now... If anyone has a computer technical question or if you just want to talk smack about the current state of the Tech Help! Computer Services website... then feel free to go ahead and post a comment!

Tech Help! - Computer Services

This is my first post on the new blog, so let me start by introducing myself... My name is Barry Hazle Jr. and I am a local computer support specialist from Redding, CA. Tech Help! was founded along with my father, Barry Sr. (Duh!), as a no nonsense means for local computer users to find someone to help them with their computer hardware & software problems. We specialize in the home office & small business computer support field. This area was largely ignored by support professionals for many years in the Northstate area. Recognizing this, I started a small business called CCNS (Clover Creek Network Services) in Redding back in 2002. My customer base grew, by word of mouth alone, until it became too much to handle by myself. Not wanting to grow beyond the scope of a single tech (Me), I limited my business to a manageable number of "patients", kind of like dentists & doctors do.
Well, I wasn't the only person to take notice of the lack of computer services available in the Redding area... many other small start-ups grew right along side of mine. Many of them grew far beyond the scope of what I consider reasonable and became overburdened and unreliable. I'm not going to name names at this point, but suffice to say that any business sending a techie to your home should not only be knowledgeable, patient & considerate... they should be reasonably priced & up front about what the cost will be from the start. I know this is hard to do sometimes... computer hardware is constantly evolving and hardware prices change on an almost daily basis. Let me be completely forthright on this point, ANY techie who is worth a damn, is up to date on these matters and will be able to give you a reliable estimate of costs almost immediately or explain to you why he/she is unable to do so.
That's why Tech Help! will always give you a reliable evaluation of what you need to make your computing experience all that you want it to be. We are up front about all of the costs for our services... We offer flat rate specials on all of the most needed services (computer cleanups, virus & spyware removal, hard drive upgrades, etc.), and we offer hourly service at $75.00 per hour... substantially less than our competitors.
Our hourly service can be used however you like... need training on how to use your PC?... No problem. Need to learn how to find & back up your files?... We've got you covered! We'll take the time to make sure you are satisfied with the service you receive... and if you have any questions after a visit, phone support is FREE for existing customers.
We are currently offering our "PC Cleanup C-Note Special"... thats right, for a hundred bucks we will pick up your PC (within designated service area only) and perform an exhaustive cleanup process that removes virus problems, spyware & makes your PC run the way it used to.
The following "12-point safety check" is what you can expect when you purchase a our "C-Note Special":

3 Clean PC Case, Cooling Fans & Heat Sinks (Removes Dust, Pet Hair, etc.)

3 Spyware/Malware/Adware Scan & Remove/Repair

3 Virus Scan & Remove/Repair

3 Removal of Unnecessary Windows Startup & System Tray Programs

3 Check Windows for System/Application/Security Errors

3 Check for & Stop Unnecessary Windows System Services

3 Thorough Hard Drive Examination Repairs Errors & Exposes Failing HDD

3 Complete Boot Time Hard Drive Defragmentation (MFT & Page File, Files & Folders)

3 FREE Comprehensive Report Card (Detailing What Was Done to Your PC)

3 FREE Anti Virus Software (w/Automatic Updates)

We think this is the most competitive offer available in the greater Redding area. Other computer service providers offer lesser services that cost substantially more than ours. We also offer a 48 hour turn-around on your "Cleanup Special"... This deal simply cannot be beat. If you're interested, please give us a call at 530-779-4555.
Customer or not, please feel free to stay tuned to this blog for valuable insight into your computing experience... I think you will find that this is the only blog of it's kind available in the Shasta County area.
Happy computing!
