2009-01-06 23:21:28 - A nationwide search for the top computer repair and IT service companies has been initiated by Computer Repair Fast. Only a select number of companies will be selected and promoted on the directory for each city and town throughout the United States. Companies selected will also enjoy other benefits and partnership opportunities with national technology vendors.

Phoenix, AZ - Computer Repair Fast announced today the start of a nationwide search to find the top computer repair and IT service companies in each city and town throughout the United States. The companies selected will be promoted on a free web site for home and business technology users.

Computer Repair Fast was developed by a former executive of Geeks

On Call, an on-site computer repair company that was recognized by Entrepreneur Magazine as the top new franchise business in 2006. Computer Repair Fast will not offer computer support or repair services directly, instead the company will promote a network of quality IT service companies with locations throughout the United States. These companies will essentially partner together to gain a competitive advantage over national service providers like Geek Squad, Dell and others.

The mission and services provided by Computer Repair Fast are quite simply the following:

For Consumers, whether a home or business, Computer Repair Fast is a free resource directory to find quality IT and computer repair companies in your immediate area.

For IT Solutions Providers and Computer Repair Companies, Computer Repair Fast is a membership organization that delivers new customers, new vendor opportunities, media and PR opportunities as well as special offers and pricing from channel partners not typically available to a small company. Computer Repair Fast is a great way to promote your computer repair or IT support company.

"Local IT companies have a difficult time competing with national providers like Best Buy's Geek Squad who can negotiate preferred pricing and terms from channel partners" according to Katie Barnes, VP of Services for Computer Repair Fast. "Computer Repair Fast plans to compile a group of over 2,500 quality IT service companies that will partner with national vendors to gain access to improve pricing and service partnerships only currently available to large national chains."

To qualify, companies must meet certain quality requirement including being in good standing with the Better Business Bureau and be in business a minimum of 3 years. Companies must also provide great customer service and have certified and trained computer professionals on staff. "Quality and great service is tough to find in any service company but we are going to make it easier for home and business technology users to find great local companies" according to Barnes.

"We will limit the number of companies we will feature by city and town so only a select few will receive the benefits of being selected by Computer Repair Fast" said Barnes. "Imagine being one of just 2 or 3 companies listed in your local Yellow Pages for technology services and that is what Computer Repair Fast will provide to a company. For consumers, you don't have to look through pages of companies wondering which ones are the best. We've done the work for you."

"For IT solutions companies, joining together to compete against larger IT services competitors like Geek Squad and Dell is critical for success" said Barnes. "We plan to use the buying power of all the companies featured on our directory to negotiate better terms and pricing that will provide these companies with a competitive advantage. Additional benefits of being featured on our site include private discussion groups, best practice sharing between companies and other services that our members request."

The official launch for the site is April 2009 but as companies are identified in each market, their information will be featured at www.computerrepairfast.com.

Companies wishing to apply for membership and to be listed on the national directory should visit the Computer Repair Fast web site.
