My son once worked for the service section of PC World. It's actually a separate company called MasterCare and they have premises around the country in different buildings to the retail stores. Naturally all this has to be paid for. PC World also charges a rent when the service centre is in store.

My power supply went on my laptop around a year ago and the local computer repair shop, not PC World charge me £30 That was £15 for the unit and 30 minutes labour at £30 per hour. MasterCare were £50 per hour 4 years ago when my son worked for them so goodness knows how much now.

Hi all,
I'm curious. My father took his PC into a local PC world store because I suggested the power supply went. This was indeed true, but they've charged him £100 in total, £70 just to look at it and £30 for the new power supply. I can understand the £30, but why do they charge you so much just to look at the thing! Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.
