Frequently asked questions (FAQ)

Do you charge for travel in Barcelona?

No. Travel is included for Barcelona city and surrounding areas as long as it can be reached by metro.

Does remote support cost less?

In this case, no: remote support is charged the same (35–45 €/hour) because the value is in the diagnosis and resolution, not in the travel.

How much does it cost to format and install Windows with drivers?

It has a fixed price: 75 €, including system installation, drivers, and basic settings.

When is it better to pay per hour instead of a fixed price?

The hourly rate is ideal for open-ended issues (slow PC, strange errors, malware cleaning, adjustments, and optimization) where the exact time depends on the state of the equipment.
