I would create something simple but effective...like "A-1 Computer Repair"
or "Free Diagnosis PC Repair" then you can set your own price based on what's wrong with it or them. Sure you'll get a pile of people coming by, but that's what you want right?. A lot of PC repairsman will charge out of the ass so take it easy on your clients for awhile until you build up a large network of people, then you are off and running, because at that point people will have seen you on several occasions and will keep going back to you as they will build trust and rely on you for every little computer problem. Always have the latest updates on the competitors around your area and charge 5 bucks less than they do. Let them know you are the Exclusive discount repair man. Tell them other repair shops are always charging for extra parts and labor for all their employees; and telling people that the other repair men are getting a bad rap for the crappy repairs based on your sources. Moreover, you even heard of a few guy's who Warning: put delayed viruses in their PC's to keep them coming back. This is all tongue in cheek and information purposes ONLY but it'll get your head in the right direction. Honest helpfulness on people's PC's with a little exaggeration will go a long way rather than being a complete crook and sabotaging their computers. Besides word will get around awfully quick if you actually did that>>>>>>
