What would you name your computer support/repair company?

I'm starting a company to offer my computer support/repair services. I am going to working with a friend of mine to cover the West Island area of Montreal. We have goals to expand throughout the island and build a force of reputable in-home technicians as well as having a store front for drop-offs and online remote desktop support.

I look at the services offered by Geeksquad or similiar big name competition and realize it is a total rip off. But how can I compete with them if I name my company "PC Repair" or "Computer Services". From reading Guy Kawaski's Art of the Start, I realize that I need to have a brand - something that will have a deeper effect on customers. Can anyone here help me come up with some ideas?

I was thinking something along of the lines of translated words.. like "help" in Native American languages or something like that? I'm not quite sure. I maybe need some catchy Web 2.0 style name maybe? Like 1-2 simple words? I originally thought "fix IT" would be clever but its obviously been done and its kinda dorky too! Any ideas?

While I'd love to do that... I'm not sure if its the best idea! :thumbsdown:
I mean - most people who use GeekSquad are idiots but I can't call people who are going to give me money idiots... atleast to their face.

but if you could develop a viable business model in which you could, you would rival bill gates


good luck
 
West Island Computers?

For one, if you are going to be in the phone book, try to start your name with an A.

People often just call the first thing they find in the phone book.
 
Just a couple of suggestions...

1. Virus Raper

2. The Cable Guy, Except For Computers

3. Holy Shit, Fix My Goddamn Computer

4. ElectroCop
 
Yes - I think they are a rip off and no I'm not going to charge 5 per incident. I think there is plently of room in the market for computer repair services. How many car mechanics are in your town? Or dish washer repair men? I'm not going to change the world here - just start a small business to pay the bills while I finish my degree. Ya the idea isn't all that original but I still believe if you can offer a better experience for the customer they will choose you (provided they know you exist).

And why I think Geek Squad is a rip off? They charge $150 dollars to connect your Xbox to the internet. Nothing more needs to be said.

I like Click Click Fix and Hackt. I was thinking Hacker Helper maybe?

I can tell by the suggestions that most people take this as a joke ... I'm not going to hate. Some "funny" suggestions are just not that funny.

We're proctologists for your computers! <- now that's good :cookie:

I'm glad you like my idea! Use it.

...If you get a net worth over 1 million dollars though, you owe me, and this thread is proof I thought of it. 0.o
