OK, need a name for a computer shop

This is going to be kinda a specialty shop aiming for speedy virus cleanups at low cost. We are going for volume and looking to gut the local computer shop market on virus cleanup problems. Like $49 for a standard virus cleanup or $69 if we have to backup and reload your machine. We are re configuring my old shop “PC Search and Rescue” and turning what remains of PCS&R into an onsite service only.

So looking for something clever emphasizing speedy virus removal.

any ideas?

I’ve always thought it would be clever to style one of these shops after a dry cleaning service. Clever both in an intellectual sense - do some fun play on words, return computers in a plastic bag with a hanger, etc. - but also clever in a business sense - you want people to think of you as something they use every month (like a dry cleaner), not just when there’s an emergency.

I don’t have a specific name to suggest, but I’d brainstorm words related to computers and dry cleaning and then see what domain names are still available using combinations of those words.

I like where you are going with this. Or any fairly commoditized service along those lines. Mechanics, handyman, yard care, pest control, etc.

Box Dox or Box Docs does actually have a nice ring to it, double entendre aside.

Computer-rooter – would imply speed and efficiency with cleaning out sewage. It might also imply some type of 24hr service calls.

Jiffy lube is a name brand for cheap and fast oil changes.
