DoctorDave: Best of Lawrence Computer Repair 2019
Yesterday the Lawrence Journal World and Lawrence Magazine announced the winners of the Best of Lawrence contest.
This year was a bit different than in previous years. The Journal World is no longer locally owned, and a third party administers the contest. That’s disappointing because I’m a firm believer in supporting locally owned businesses.
That’s one reason I’m delighted this year to see so many locally owned businesses win the contest. While it’s often based on luck and randomness, it’s still lovely to see the support.
In the computer repair business here in Lawrence, local shops have a hard time succeeding. We see more locally grown companies being forced to become franchisees or simply close down. I always like as many dollars to stay in Lawrence and support the local economy rather than pay for national branding and affiliations.
In 2019, I’ll be on my 16th year of DoctorDave Computer Repair. Last year we had our 15th anniversary at Alchemy with free coffee, baked goods, and giveaways. I was humbled by all the people that attended. I’m also humbled by how many people took the time to enter us in the contest.
How did we do?
We continue to hold the title of Best of Lawrence for Computer Repair!
Regardless of the contest results, we’ll continue to do our very best to earn your business. Winning a contest is nice, but it doesn’t create trust and loyalty. As you can see by our reviews on Google and our support on Facebook, our goal is to solve your problems. Sometimes that means not repairing something but instead buying new. We’re always working in our customer’s best interest. We don’t sell computers, so when we tell someone it’s better to replace, we’re not making money on that recommendation. In fact, we’ll consult on a new computer purchase at no charge.
We’re in this for the long haul and look forward to our 30th anniversary, and maybe another 15 Best of Lawrence wins!
