Computer Repair Business?

Right now, at UPS I'm making around $108 a week(working 3rd shift) I go to a tech school, I have recieved my A+, Security +, and Network +

I'm not getting any experience working at UPS, so i'm thinking of starting my own PC repair business.

I've checked,and the average per hour here in Louisville is like $50 an hour.

Do you think I can make more than that(at UPS) with my own business? And if so, what should I charge if most places are charging $50. I live at home, and no bills, so I don't really have any overhead. By the way, I'm 19 years old.

You should open your business on the side and once you are making more at the business, quit your current job. There is a big market for computer repair.

don't do it, you will regret it. get a job repairing computers instead to get enough experience.then perhaps you can start your own business in the near future.
I'm currenty in the PC repair business and you can certainly make more than $150 a week. Here's what I recommend to get started: since you haven't done this before, I'd start out charging a little less than what others are charging. You can get that info from maybe the yellow pages, call some of the other shops and get an idea of what they charge.

Maybe you could start out charging $40 an hour on site and maybe $50 flat fee if they drop it off to you. That way there's no pressure to get it repaired right away. But you should still repair the PC to the customer's satisfaction because you want them to be a return customer and you can also use them for referrals.

There's a whole lot more into the PC repair business but this should get you started for now. Make sure you do your homework before you quit your day job.

Good Luck,
