Photos & websites

Drop-off or pickup

Old photos, saved digitally

Bring the shoebox. I scan your loose prints on a high-speed photo scanner that captures the front and any handwriting on the back, then hand you everything on a USB drive or a private download link.

Fronts & backs

Dates and names written on the back are saved with each photo.

Color restored

Faded prints get automatic color correction, with originals kept too.

Your choice

A USB drive to keep, a download link to share with family, or both.

Plenty of local businesses still have no website, or one nobody can find. I build fast, clean sites that show up on Google and work on phones. I've built and run my own Shopify store, so selling online is covered too.

Business websites

Services, hours, reviews, and a contact form, written for your customers.

Shopify stores

Products, payments, shipping, and taxes set up and tested.

Found on Google

Google Business Profile, search basics, and your own domain and email.

How a drop-off works

Four steps, usually done by the next day

  1. Book a slot

    Send a request below with what's wrong. I'll text back with a drop-off time and the address.

  2. Drop it off

    Bring the device and charger. You sign a one-page work agreement that covers your data.

  3. Approve the quote

    I diagnose it and text you the problem and the price. You approve or decline.

  4. Pick it up

    Most repairs are ready the next day. Pay at pickup and you're done.

Who's on the bench

Enterprise IT experience, neighborhood prices

I'm Scott. By day I manage IT support for a large engineering firm across North America, and I've spent 18 years fixing everything from laptops to conference rooms to company-wide AI rollouts.

Side Quest PCs is how I help neighbors and local businesses in Spring Hill with the same care I'd give my own setup. I live here, I'm raising kids here, and I treat your computer and your data the way I'd want mine treated.

Questions

Before you drop off

Where do I drop off?

At my home in Spring Hill. I send the address by text once your drop-off time is set, and there's driveway parking.

Can you pick it up?

Yes. If you can't make it over, I'll pick up your computer, console, or photos and bring them back when the work is done. It's $25 round trip in Spring Hill and $35 to Thompson's Station, Columbia, and Franklin. The repair itself happens at my bench, not in your home.

Should I back up my files first?

Yes, if you can. I take care with every drive, but hardware can fail during a repair. If your computer won't boot and you can't back it up, tell me and I'll copy your files off first for a small fee.

Do you work on Macs and consoles?

Macs, yes, for software, cleanup, upgrades where Apple allows them, and data transfer. Consoles, yes, for cleaning, thermal paste, and storage upgrades. I don't do board-level micro-soldering such as HDMI port replacement.

What photos can you scan?

Loose prints from wallet size up to 8×10. Photos glued into albums need to come out first, and I don't scan slides or negatives yet. Your originals come back in the same order you dropped them off.

What if the repair costs more than it's worth?

I'll tell you. If a new device makes more sense, I'll say so and help you pick one. You only pay the diagnostic.

How do I pay?

Card, Venmo, or cash at pickup. Business clients can be invoiced monthly.
