Typical Price Ranges by Repair Type

Virus and malware removal — $100–$200. Covers scanning, removal, cleanup, and post-infection hardening. Most jobs finish the same day.
Performance tune-up — $100–$150. Startup optimization, junk-file cleanup, driver updates, and a health check on your drive.
Operating system reinstall — $150–$200. Fresh Windows or macOS install, driver setup, and data migration if needed.
Screen replacement (laptop) — $175–$350. Price depends on panel size, resolution, and parts availability.
Hard drive or SSD replacement — $150–$275. Includes the drive, data migration from the old disk when possible, and OS configuration.
RAM upgrade — $75–$150. Parts plus installation; we verify compatibility before ordering.
Network and WiFi setup — $125–$250. Router configuration, dead-zone troubleshooting, mesh system setup, or small-office wiring.
Data recovery (basic) — $150–$350+. Recovering files from a failing drive or accidental deletion. Severe mechanical failures may cost more and require lab work.

Why Flat-Rate Pricing Beats Hourly Billing

Many repair shops bill by the hour, which means the longer a job takes, the more you pay—even if the delay is caused by a slow download or a part that is hard to reach. Computer Pro Network uses flat-rate pricing for the majority of services. We diagnose the issue, quote a fixed price, and you approve it before we start. If the repair takes longer than expected, the price stays the same. No surprises, no watching a clock.

What Drives the Cost Up or Down

Software vs. hardware — Software repairs (viruses, slow performance, OS issues) are generally less expensive because no parts are needed.
Parts availability — Common parts like RAM, standard SSDs, and popular laptop screens are usually in stock. Specialty or legacy parts may need to be ordered.
Severity — A single-virus cleanup costs less than remediating a ransomware attack. A simple RAM upgrade costs less than replacing a logic board.
On-site vs. remote — Remote sessions save you the trip fee. On-site visits include a small travel charge, disclosed when you schedule.

Is It Worth Fixing? A Quick Cost Check

If the repair cost is under 50% of what a comparable new computer would cost, and your machine is less than five years old, repairing almost always makes sense. If the machine is older and needs multiple fixes, replacing may be the smarter investment. We give honest guidance either way—our technicians are not on commission.
