Fixing computers is really what we’re all about. We’ve been doing it for years and there’s nothing we love more than bringing PCs and Macs back to life. Come see us for any issue, big or small and we’ll gladly evaluate it for you completely free of charge. We’re confident that once you’ve experienced our level of service, you’ll never want to take your computer anywhere else.

Is that once blazing Mac or PC running slower these days? Over time, the performance of any computer starts to slow. In our proprietary System Optimization process, we perform a series of services that get rid of the junk and boost performance. We remove unnecessary startup programs/services, clean your system registry, install all the necessary updates, modify your system settings for optimal performance, and optimize your hard drive. All together, you can expect a 20%-30% increase in performance while maintaining all your familiar settings, files, and applications.

Viruses, Malware, Spyware – whatever you call them, they’re out there and gunning for you! No matter how careful you are online, there’s a good chance you’ll find yourself infected with one of those nasty programs aimed at stealing your information and rendering your computer useless. But fear not, Stan’s Tech Team has the expertise to get those viruses off your system so you can get back to business. For even greater protection, let us install our preferred Anti-Virus Program: Kaspersky Lab Anti-Virus, and enjoy peace of mind with our 1-Year No Virus Guarantee. We’re so certain you won’t get another virus, we guarantee it.

Do you need a WiFi network installed in your home or office? Does your existing WiFi network lack range and security? Do you need to extend your existing wired network? Whatever your networking needs may be, count on Stan’s Tech Garage. While many vendors would have you believe networks are easy to set up, doing it properly takes a special kind of expertise. Improperly secured networks are the easiest and most common way hackers access your personal data, download copyrighted materials, and attempt to hack others through your connection. The really bad part: it all gets traced back to YOU! Long before Stan opened his shop, he was a highly sought after network security consultant to the Fortune 500. If you have any doubts about your own WiFi security, give us a call for a free evaluation.
