Wilmington Gets a Real Gem in “Geeks On Call” Franchise Owner Victor Marcelo
For years, Victor Marcelo worked for his family’s jewelry business by day and tinkered with high-tech gadgets by night. Now he has transitioned into being a full-time technical expert by launching a new Geeks On Call® franchise that provides on-site computer services to the Wilmington, Delaware area.
(I-Newswire) - Wilmington, DE – From carats to bytes, Victor Marcelo has always appreciated the beauty and complexity of diamonds and computers. For years, he enjoyed the best of both worlds by working for his family’s jewelry business by day and tinkering with high-tech gadgets by night. Now Marcelo has transitioned into being a full-time technical expert by launching a new Geeks On Call® franchise that provides on-site computer services to the Wilmington area.
Offering in-home and in-office support, Marcelo provides a convenient way for customers to have all of their computer needs satisfied. Many of his calls involve removing viruses and spyware, but his services also include troubleshooting, repairs, upgrades, wired/wireless networking, one-on-one training, and custom-built PCs. If an appointment is scheduled with him prior to 10 AM, he guarantees same-day service or the visit is free.
Marcelo’s high-tech background is similar to that of other computer geeks: at a young age he fiddled with computers and electronic devices and spent countless hours learning how to take apart and re-wire car stereos. Even today he still finds himself fascinated by the integration of computers and other home electronics. In addition to his hands-on experience, he holds an A+ certification and an associate’s degree in computer network engineering from Delaware Technical Community College.
In recent years, Marcelo put his skills to work as a Network Engineer for PCS Technologies, performing on-site services for businesses. Soon thereafter, the desire to have his own business struck, and a bit of research showed him that operating a Geeks On Call® franchise would give him the right balance between being an entrepreneur and having the extensive back-end support of a national company.
“Fixing computers is exactly what I was doing before I joined Geeks On Call®,” Marcelo said. “They just wrapped it all up in a neat little package.”
Already having a strong background in business management from his tenure in jewelry, what Marcelo really needed was the freedom to take care of customers.
“I like having a system already in place that I can rely on,” Marcelo said. “I can focus on customer care and stay current with the constantly changing world of technology.”
Geeks On Call® is the high-tech equivalent of a physician who makes house calls. Everything the mobile Geek technicians need to complete their tasks is nestled inside their signature blue Chrysler PT Cruisers that are emblazoned with the Geeks On Call® logo and toll-free phone number. Not only have the Geeks’ prompt, reliable services found success with residential customers, but also with small-to-medium-sized businesses that cannot afford the enormous expense of hiring full-time IT personnel.
Founded in 1999, Geeks On Call® initially served Hampton Roads, Virginia, where it experienced immediate success. In early 2001, Geeks On Call® began franchising its concept, and now it has 332 franchises located in 22 states throughout the U.S. ( plus the District of Columbia ). To inquire about franchise opportunities, contact the Geeks On Call® World Headquarters at 1-888-667-4577.
To schedule an appointment for fast, on-site computer support, call the Geeks’ toll-free national number: 1-800-905-GEEK. For more information about Geeks On Call® and its services, log onto www.geeksoncall.com.
