Burlington, MA (PRWEB) June 26, 2007 -- This July, Geek Housecalls celebrates six years of providing world-class home computer service and over 15,000 customers by rolling back pricing to first-year rates of $75/hour for select new and existing customers who sign up for service in July.

It was July of 2001 and gas prices were hovering around $1.40/gallon. Andy Trask and Dave Ehlke were in Dave's old red Chrysler driving up and down Mass Ave. in Lexington and Arlington posting handmade flyers for the newly founded Geek Housecalls. It was a time when people didn't know quite what to make of a company that took pride in calling themselves geeks, and a time when the idea of geeks traveling to your home to help you with your computer troubles was unheard of.

"When we started out," says Dave, "the idea didn't really catch on for the first few weeks, so we had a lot of time on our hands and spent most of it in the car looking for new places to put our flyers. We must have made friends with every Cafe, Pizza shop, and Laundromat Owner in the area."

But as it turned out, the idea was a good one, and before long, the phone started ringing in the tiny one-room office that Andy and Dave jokingly referred to as "Geek Housecalls world headquarters".

"In our first year, we had 118 customers," reports Andy. "Those days, Dave stayed in the office and took the phone calls, and I drove around to the customers and serviced their computers, then we'd usually end our day by piling a box of flyers into Dave's car and driving around. It was a kind of mobile working management meeting where we'd discuss how the day went for each of us, and what customers were saying and how they were reacting to our approach and pricing, and every now and then I'd jump out of the car with a handful of flyers and some thumbtacks as we'd come to a shop or restaurant where they'd let us post our flyers."

Now six years, and over 15,000 customers later, Geek Housecalls is celebrating by offering a price cut to our first-year rate of $75/hour to the first 118 residential customers who mention this promotion while signing up for service in July! This special anniversary offer is available on a first-come-first-serve basis to residential customers only. To schedule an appointment, call 781-863-8111, or toll free 1-877-472-4335 (877-4PC-GEEK), and speak to a dispatcher. Ask for the "Special Anniversary Pricing" and the dispatcher will let you know if you're one of the first 118 customers to schedule a July appointment!
