Mike Doty
Computer Assistance
945 Taraval #240
San Francisco, CA 94116

Mike provides onsite computer service, repair and training throughout the Bay Area in the convenience of your home or office.
If you have a computer that has stopped working, it can almost surely be fixed for well under $200. If you can turn it on and see text come up on the screen, it is apt to be a software problem which can be repaired without buying any parts. You can also avoid this situation by having Mike pay a visit to your computer and install a set of free programs to defend against and remove viruses, adware, spyware and hackers before they bring your system to a grinding halt. Spyware and adware are by far the number one cause of computer malfunction and internet connectivity problems.
Mike also upgrades computers, sets up and secures networks, and personally trains customers to use their software on their own systems. His business philosophy is very consumer centric, as he will always try to match a client's requirement with a free or low cost solution when one is available. He has developed a lot of experience with the open source and free software available, software which is as good, and in many cases, better than their commercial equivalents costing hundreds of dollars. Mike feels that it is a conflict of interest to make money off of the parts and software needed for a repair job, since the customer is paying him to represent his or her interests, not outside commercial interests, and to deliver a durable, robust solution at the lowest possible cost.
Computer recycling, including the pickup of the computer and monitor is also available for only $25 per computer.

Remarkable savings on all cars & trucks.

As an auto broker, I facilitate the purchase of motor vehicles for my clients. We use our fleet buying power for new cars and trucks, to obtain the lowest possible prices on the exact vehicle you want. We are also registered with all of the major wholesale "dealer only" auto auctions around the country. This allows us to get the very best possible prices on the exact used vehicle you want. Having been in the auto business since 1971, I know how to do that very efficiently.

We function as a buyer's advocate. We have no inventory to push at you, nor do we have any brand loyalty. On occasion, I will have a vehicle or two on consignment from my clients, so I do know the background on them. There is no pressure to buy anything, and there are no up-front fees. We will focus on whatever it is that fits your needs. You can do your entire transaction, without ever having to negotiate with or visit a car dealership. I will bring the vehicle and the paperwork, including DMV, to your home, your office, or your favorite coffee shop, and do all of the business in the environment most comfortable for you.
