The Greater Sandpoint Chamber of
Commerce recently welcomed AskSam Computer Services to the Chamber. Sam
McGlothlin started AskSam Computer Services in 2009 and has been going strong
ever since.
As a 30 year Sandpoint resident, he
studied at University of Idaho after graduating high school here in Sandpoint.
His passion for computer technology started at a young age; he spent countless
hours in the computer lab learning all he could about computers and
programming.
“I
have a lot of hard earned experience in many different areas, but through it
all, I have been the computer guy, the problem solver, the guy that people call
when they need something done,” said Sam. “I am different from the other
computer repair shops in town because I will work on most anything computer
related including older computer systems.”
With more than 20 years of computer
experience in computer repair and maintenance, Sam is extremely knowledgeable
with common day computer woes and the more complex hardware issues that makes
one pull their hair out. Sam has worked for three different Sandpoint companies
as an IT manager, traveled and worked in several different countries so he has
seen it all.
“My
customers are mostly residential and small businesses, because I like to give
one on one service. I will make sure that you understand what the problems are
in a language you will understand.”
Sam provides his customers with
various services: house calls, data recovery of all kinds, free diagnostics,
hardware and software upgrades of all kinds, and software and program training.
He is not solely a PC shop as he can work on Mac computers as well. Sam offers
the cheapest rate in town and will charge you by the job and not by the hour.
To top it off, Sam will not charge you if he cannot solve the problem. His
policies show he stands by his services and his work.
“Viruses
have become the number one problem for computers today,” explained Sam. “I can
remove all viruses and install a new free Antivirus program. Slow and poor
running computers are a sign that you need a major cleaning to get rid of a
bunch of internet garbage that you have been unintentionally collecting. Heat
is one of the biggest computer killers today. Dust removal can be dangerous for
your health and your computers health if you do not know how to do it right. Let me do it for you.”
*SPECIAL*
Until further notice, Tuesdays are 50% off. If you bring your computer into the
shop on a Tuesday, he will fix your computer for half price. House calls are not included in this
discount.
AskSam Computer Services is located downtown at the corner of 3rd and Pine St. next to the new bike shop. Normal hours of operation are 8:30am to 5:00pm weekdays however he does make service calls. For more information, visit Sam at his office, email ask4sam@live.com or call 208-610-8573 and ask for Sam.
