About JBJ Computer
A laptop that will not start, a machine slowed to a crawl, a drive making a noise it did not used to make: computer work is mostly troubleshooting, and the diagnosis takes as long as it takes. JBJ Computer is at 2807 27 St in downtown Vernon, in a building it shares with another business.
Shops in this line usually split their work between repair and sales, and the balance is different everywhere. Repair covers screens, batteries, drives, power supplies, virus and malware cleanup, operating system reinstalls, and the delicate business of moving data off a failing machine. Sales may mean new equipment, refurbished equipment, parts and accessories, or all three, and some shops also do on site work for small businesses and home offices. Before handing anything over it is fair to ask what a diagnostic costs and whether it comes off the repair, how long the bench is currently running for a job like yours, and what happens to your files while the machine is out of your hands. Back up whatever you can beforehand, and write down the passwords the shop will need.
Vernon serves as the service centre for the North Okanagan, so an errand like this often means a drive in from the townships or from one of the acreages south of the city, which makes turnaround worth settling up front. Downtown parking is manageable on a weekday, and the core is compact enough that a drop off leaves you within a short walk of everything else on the list.
