Tech Rescue came into being in April of 2002 because of all of the people we know that were asking for computer help. There was no good alternative in the Twin Cities to the big companies that do not cater to the people. Currently, due to long term contracts and other duties, most of our technical services are performed after hours or on weekends.We don’t put up with the elitism that some of our competitors suffer from. We will always be up-front and we will communicate in “real words”. We will always give an estimate before we do any work and we guarantee to be within 20% of that estimate.Tech Rescue is computer support for the rest of us!
