Zombie Computers vs Geek Squad: Repair Price Comparison

Is Zombie Computers cheaper than Geek Squad?

Yes — significantly. Our flat-rate virus removal is $129 vs Geek Squad's $150+ hourly. Our diagnostic is free with repair vs Geek Squad's $100–149 non-refundable fee. Most customers save $50–200 per visit.

Why is Zombie Computers better than a big box store?

We offer same-day service, home visits across Suffolk County, a 90-day warranty (vs 30 days at chains), and our certified technicians have 10+ years experience. Chain stores often use entry-level staff with high turnover.

Do you offer a price-match guarantee?

We don't price match, because we're already priced lower than most competitors. Our flat-rate model means no surprise charges — you know the cost before we start.

Is it worth repairing vs buying a new computer?

In most cases, yes. A virus removal ($129), SSD upgrade ($249), or screen repair ($249) is far cheaper than a new computer ($500–$1,500). We'll give you an honest assessment — if repair isn't worth it, we'll tell you.
