The AME Computers promise
Warning: Don’t be misled by claims of “free diagnostics.” Some shops charge $75 upfront to inspect your computer, then demand another $75 to put it back together if you decline the repair—a total of $150 without a completed repair.
At AME Computers, diagnostics are genuinely free. No upfront fees, no surprise reassembly charge, and no paying for unsuccessful trial and error. You pay only after the approved repair is completed and you’re satisfied.
No money down. No paying for trial and error. No repair, no charge.
