    And like most dodgy car servicing centres they are sure to find all sorts of things wrong that leads to expensive repair work.

    Avoid like the fúcking plague.

    I rang Harvey for a Sansung wireless adaptor for my DVD player recently. They quoted me €99. I then rang DID & they quoted me €44.99! I collected it & got an extra 11% off due to the 11% off before 11am offer! Some difference

    I get a guy calling me from India each week to tell me I have a virus on my PC - pay him €69 and its done. He gives other members of my family same great service - we never have to leave the house:D

    They'd probably just defragment the hard disk, try to sell you a virus scanner when there's adequately free ones available (Eg. Microsoft Security Essentials), and say you need more memory or a new laptop battery.
