Downtown, Midtown, the Plaza District, Capitol Hill, Bricktown, Nichols Hills and the neighborhoods in between. A Local Nerd comes to your door, or helps remotely the same day when that's faster.
Pick a time, we come to your door, and you agree to the rate before we start. Remote help works too when that's faster.
In person from $110/hr. $39 books it, and the rest is charged when the work is done. Remote help $39 for 30 minutes. Card only, no cash or checks. You agree to the rate before we start.
Ask anything you like. We'll explain what we're doing while we do it.
Dead spots, a router in the wrong place, a network nobody can get onto. We fix the coverage first, before anybody tells you to buy faster internet.
The machine that takes four minutes to start, the file that vanished, the update that won't finish. We sort those out and set up a backup while we're there.
Photos, contacts, passwords and the settings nobody can find. We'll get it set up the way you want to use it.
New TV set up, streaming apps sorted out, remotes that work, and one clear explanation of which button does what.
Some visits are all teaching, and that suits us fine. We go through it with you until it makes sense and you can do it on your own.
Cameras you can pull up when you need them, a doorbell that rings the right phone, a thermostat that keeps its schedule. We set it up and explain it once.
Wireless printers are badly designed, and it isn't your fault. We'll get it printing and scanning and leave it that way.
Pop-ups, fake warnings, emails that want you to click. We'll clear it out and show you what to look for so the next one doesn't get you.
In Mesta Park, Heritage Hills, Crown Heights and Gatewood the houses are ninety years old with plaster and lath walls, and Wi-Fi doesn't travel through them. The fix is putting signal on the far side of the wall. In the apartments and lofts downtown and along Automobile Alley the signal is fine and there are forty of them on the same channel, in a building where you can't drill a hole. We bring both answers.
Plenty of people in the city have lived in the same house since the seventies and watched everything move onto a screen: the bank branch closed, the doctor wants a portal, the electric company wants an app. We go at your pace, explain it in plain words, and write it down if you want.

Town pages in this area, each with its own distance and rate:
Somebody two states away is worried that Mom can't get the TV back to normal, or that Dad keeps getting locked out of his email. You can arrange it for them. Book the session or gift a membership and we'll handle it with them directly, at a time that suits.
Send a NerdYes. A Local Nerd in the metro comes to your door, and you see the rate for your address before you book. Remote help works too, for computer, phone, email and account problems, in a 30-minute session.
Usually, yes. In a dense building most of the trouble is channel congestion and router placement, and both are fixable without touching a wall. If you need more hardware, we'll tell you before you buy anything.
Yes. We don't sell internet and have no deal with any provider, so we work with the equipment and plan you already have. If your plan is the problem, we'll say so.
Remote help is $39 for a 30-minute session. In-person visits are $110 an hour within 25 miles of downtown Oklahoma City and $130 in the 25 to 50 mile band, and the higher rate is how we pay for the drive. Farther-out addresses are served remotely today, or by a drive from a neighboring Local Nerd. Type your ZIP when you book and you'll see the answer for your address. A $39 deposit books an in-person visit and the rest is charged after your Local Nerd finishes and you sign off on the work. Nerd on Call membership is $14.99 a month and includes two remote sessions and an in-person visit a year, plus 20% off anything extra. You always agree to the rate before we start.
Yes. One-on-one help for older adults is work we like. We go at your pace, and we'll write the steps down for you to keep.
We do. Most of what people call broken is a setting, an update, an account or a connection, and we fix those. Screens, batteries, parts and data recovery from a failed drive are somebody else's job, and we'll tell you that up front.
What opens a market is a Local Nerd who knows the area, likes people, and is good at explaining things. Set your own availability, keep the majority of every booking, and help your neighbors. See what being the Local Nerd in Oklahoma City involves or apply here.
