General Technics Consulting
About
My name is Steve Strong, and I run General Technics Consulting. I specialize in Windows and Linux PCs, troubleshooting and solving hardware, software, data recovery, and networking problems. I've received extensive education, certification, and training in these areas and more, during a career that spans across three decades. I've been named a "Top Pro" numerous times by Thumbtack, and General Technics has received their "Best Computer Repair Service Professionals in the Minneapolis-St. Paul area" award again this year for the fourth straight year. I've run this business for over twenty years, and I take great pride in the level of service and support that I offer to my clients.
I listen to my clients - really listen - and provide lasting solutions to their technological problems, not simply fixes for today's annoyances. I do this in a timely, cost-effective manner, utilizing my considerable knowledge, training, and experience to give my clients the assurance that there is a solution to their technological problems, and I will deliver it to them. My clients have the security of knowing that I'm their "Computer Guy," and that they can call on me anytime - 24/7/365 - for support. I am both rewarded by their confidence in me, and take that responsibility seriously.
In short, "no matter what your computer problem is, we can help you!"SM

Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
I first interview my new client on the phone to get a preliminary understanding of their problem and the surrounding circumstances. Next, I meet with them face-to-face to gather more information, and I ask them to duplicate the problem, if possible, while we're together. Then at this point, I give my client my evaluation of the problem, its likely causes, and an estimate of the time needed to fully complete the diagnosis and repair (the price is, as always, a flat rate and already known). I also inform the client if it will be necessary to purchase any additional hardware or software to complete the repair. Lastly, if I'm at the client's home or workplace, I determine whether or not repairs can be completed on-site.
Then I get to work!
