Taking all scenarios into consideration, it usually makes more sense to have your computer repaired directly in your home where you use it daily. The computer repair technician can then inspect your wifi network, cables, power outlets and printer connections for possible culprints of the problem at hand that otherwise would not be possible to do in a shop. Furthermore, you will not have to leave your private computer with strangers for an unknown period of time, you will have it serviced quicker, and the technician will be able to focus his full attention on your specific needs directly. The rates for in-home service are often also very similar to bring-in-shops as well. It is also important to note that remote services are only possible when your computer is in working condition and can connect to the internet.
