On site PC Repair comes when you have to do the work onsite which seems to be the norm these days and above all an easier solution than fixing it at your base and having the nightmare of bringing the pc to the job finding yourself being unable to boot the computer. Onsite work can be an advantage in many cases as your environment is set.
I always say to myself how much software and tools do we really need if most of your computer repairs are done onsite and my conclusive opinion is
A Good Tool kit which cab be obtained from http://tmt.stores.yahoo.net/toolkits.html
And a bunch of software that manipulates the need for writing lots of code most certainly some
Partition Software
Backup Software
Various boot disks
Fast formatters
Spear Hard drive
If at all possible a modern small pc with ability to take pc express cards or for the older
PCI cards
By taking the time to consider what is needed whilst you work on site you can really reduce your time spent on a job as one of the techniques we develop is the ability to reduce time by understanding what does what in what length of time.
Read magazine and take the time to understand the various utilities that come on the market and read through them and what they do and not do and see where this can help your work with pc repairs onsite.
There is a magazine called pc utilities and it is constantly updated with some very interesting software written by many programmers which cover many different fields all useful for PC Repairs On site it is a monthly magazine and I suggest if you really want to be a successful computer repair engineer to look into magazines like this as they really to enhance your ability to be effective in your work for the simple reason if a clever piece of script is written to carry out a function which could easily take over an hour to compile and see if it works and only to carry out for one function this is time you would loose with a PC Repair On Site knowing the software and its capabilities this could be done very quickly.
So the long and short is a huge understanding of software on the market and its purpose
