Computer repair where your security and privacy is one of our number one concerns. With being in this field for more than 30 years that experience has shown us why this is so important. We are capable troubleshooters. Knowing where to start troubleshooting is extremely important, particularly in some of the difficult problems we encounter repairing computers.
There's nothing like wasting your (anyone's) time, chasing the wrong issue (such as a software issue when it's the computer hardware). We won't needlessly bother you with recommendations to upgrade things in your computer.

Services
Parts replacement for Hardware failures and upgrades. Diagnosing the real problem, finding the real solution and providing the parts or even repairing things such as blown capacitors on a motherboard or repairing the power jack on a laptop, etc. Voice over IP (VOIP) telephone systems for small businesses using Asterisk.
For instance, the cost of data transfer is $0 when we supply the parts and labor for a hard drive replacement. Antivirus is part of this as well, as most units get a solid free antivirus product (Windows Defender or Security Essentials) installed at no extra cost when any virus cleaning is performed.
We have more data now per person than we did 5 years ago - me stating the obvious. Data generally consists of the stuff that we create. People say to me that they don't create data on their computer, yet when I work on their computer I see hundreds if not thousands of photos and other documents. Understanding what is meant by "data" will help understand the purpose of this article and the importance of what this article discusses. We create data when we take a picture, when we write a letter, when we buy and download music or videos.
Businesses and individuals have varying degrees of need when it comes to WiFi. Some require a little effort while others require much more. The goal of Front Tier Computers is to make those with difficult setups easier, and to answer the questions of why and how. First things first. If you can avoid using a WiFi device then do so as wired is always superior.

This guy is a genius and extremely reasonably priced; almost priced too low. I went to several other computer repair shops in the area and all of them were a joke. Not only did these other shops not know what they were doing, but they ripped me off big time. That's why when I found Jim, I was so very grateful. I have been taking my computers to him for years, and no matter where I live in Washington State, I will make the drive to Shelton because I only trust him to work on my computers, as its my livelihood.
I tend to be pretty distrusting of most service-oriented businesses, especially because I'm a woman, but he's the only person I trust with my computer needs, 100%. I trust his knowledge, skills and judgement and best of all, he's honest and will not try to up-sell you, and I know that I'm not going to get ripped off like the others. He's like you're typical tech guy - a little arrogant, a straight shooter and not the type of person who is going to be be fake or kiss your butt, and to be honest, that is the type of person I want working on my computers.
I don't care if he occasionally makes me feel a little dumb (which he's never done intentionally BTW); as long as he's honest, knows what he's doing and is fairly priced, he has me as a lifetime client. The only complaint I could possibly see someone having is that his turnaround may be a little slow sometimes; however, if you tell him that you need something by a specific time, he will do his best to come through. Anyway, if you go to Jim to service your computer, I promise you will not regret it.

I am very happy to have found Front tier computers. Jim is amazingly knowledgeable and provides a learning experience for the customer. He is ethical, and very reasonable with his charges, and also provides a quick turn around. He has saved me money by keeping my equipment up and running with hardware repairs. He has gone the extra mile for me, and I really appreciate his services. I would heartily recommend him!

Earlier today I dropped off a laptop with a malfunctional cooling fan, and he had it fixed within 5 minutes of me arriving. To prevent the problem from reoccuring he suggested that he cleaned out the internals of the computer for me, I happily obliged to his more than fair price, and was ectastic when he called me 2 hours later telling me he was finished.
He then went the extra mile and pointed out the computer was lacking in RAM, so I opted to have him upgrade it for me, which was a meer 5 minute job for him again. Thanfully he had the parts already in his shop. I would highly recommend Frontier Computers to any of my friends and especially my family. He is incredibly fast and very reasonably priced. I am more than happy with the outcome.

I took my iPad here to have the glass replaced. After 3 months and multiple excuses he finally finished the job. Now 2mos later the glass is coming unglued. He made sure to take the iPad apart and leave it that way and told me repeatedly I couldn't come get it because it was too risky. I would NEVER recommend his services to anyone. He is rude, slow, and does super shorty work. I have to believe the other reviews are his friends and family. He only gets one star because zero isn't an option!

He really will be able to fix your computer, your lPAD, etc. And, you won't have to move back in with your mother, or take out a second mortgage, just to be able to afford him. Besides, he takes his dog to work. What could be better than that? Don't wait until your computer has lapsed into a coma. Go there right now and check him out. You'll be glad you did!
