You Have a Software Problem. You Need Help NOW, Not Tomorrow.

Your email won’t send. A critical program keeps crashing. You need to set up a new printer, and the instructions make no sense. For many common computer frustrations, you don’t need to unplug everything and haul your machine into a shop. You just need a quick, expert solution right now, on your screen. Waiting for an in-person appointment for a software glitch is frustrating and inefficient.

Our Expert Solution: Instant Remote IT Support

PC Repair Center offers secure, professional remote IT support to our customers in Oceanside, Encinitas, and all of North County. As long as you can connect to the internet, we can often fix your software-based problems in minutes, not days. Using industry-standard, secure remote access software, you can grant our technicians temporary, permission-based access to your computer. You watch everything we do on your own screen as we troubleshoot and resolve the issue.

A Deep Dive into Our Remote Support Services

Remote support is perfect for any issue that doesn’t involve a physical hardware failure.

• Software Troubleshooting: We can diagnose and fix issues with common applications like Microsoft Office (Word, Outlook, Excel), QuickBooks, web browsers, and more.
• Email & Printer Setup: Let us handle the frustration of configuring a new email account or getting your new printer connected and working correctly.
• System Tune-Ups & Optimization: Is your computer slow, but not infected? We can remotely clean up unnecessary startup programs, clear out temporary files, and optimize settings to improve performance.
• Driver Installation & Updates: New hardware not working correctly? We can find and install the correct drivers for your webcam, printer, graphics card, and other peripherals.
• User Training & Assistance: Confused about a feature in Windows or macOS? We can provide a quick, guided tutorial to help you get the most out of your computer.

Our Secure & Simple 3-Step Remote Process

1. Initiate a Session: Call our shop to describe your issue. If it’s a good candidate for remote support, we’ll direct you to a secure link on our website to download a small, temporary remote access client.
2. Grant Permission: You will run the client and provide our technician with a unique, one-time-use session code. You must click “Allow” to grant us access. We can never access your computer without your explicit permission.
3. We Fix, You Watch: Our technician will take control of your mouse and keyboard to diagnose and fix the problem while you watch. You are in full control and can end the session at any time. Once the session is over, our access is permanently revoked until you initiate a new session with a new code.

Why Choose Remote Support from a Local Company?

You’ve probably seen ads for large, anonymous remote support companies. Why call your local Oceanside or Encinitas shop instead? Trust. With us, you know exactly who is accessing your computer—the same friendly, accountable technicians who run our physical storefronts. We’re a local business, not a massive, overseas call center. If the remote session reveals a hardware problem, you can seamlessly transition to an in-store repair with the same team.

• Configuring email clients like Outlook
• Setting up new printers or scanners
