Frequently asked questions (FAQ)

Do you charge a travel fee in Barcelona?

No. Travel is included for Barcelona city and nearby areas as long as the location is reachable by metro.

Is remote support cheaper?

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

How much is a Windows reinstall with drivers?

It’s a fixed price service: €75, including OS install, drivers, and basic setup.

When does hourly pricing make more sense than a fixed price?

Hourly billing is best for open-ended issues (slow PC, tricky errors, malware cleanup, optimization) where total time depends on the machine’s condition.
