About Price is Right Computers
Before calling a computer repair shop, it helps to know the make and model of the machine and a plain description of what it is doing wrong, since that is usually the first question asked. Price is Right Computers keeps a storefront at 1062 Leon Avenue, a block back from the busier retail streets of downtown Kelowna and within easy reach of the offices and apartments that fill the core, close enough to the middle of the city to be a walk rather than a drive for anyone already downtown.
Independent computer shops usually straddle two jobs, selling machines and fixing them, and the second is where most customers turn up. Before handing anything over, back up whatever you can still reach, and write down the passwords a technician will need to get past the login screen. On the phone, ask whether there is a diagnostic fee and whether it comes off the repair, how long parts take to arrive for your model, and whether the work is done on site or sent away, since that is usually the difference between a two day turnaround and a two week one. If you are buying rather than repairing, ask what warranty applies to a refurbished machine and who honours it.
Downtown makes sense for this trade. Small offices, professional practices and a growing number of technology firms sit within a few blocks, and somewhere that can look at a machine the same afternoon is worth more to them than a cheaper box shipped in from elsewhere. For household customers the calculation is similar, given that the alternative in Kelowna usually means a drive out to the Harvey Avenue retail strip and a queue at the end of it. Leon Avenue is straightforward to reach from the highway and from the Pandosy side, and the surrounding blocks have the metered street parking and small lots that come with a city centre.
