Cost of Services
This page lists what ManTric ("we," "us," or "our") charges for its services. It's part of our Consumer User Agreement — words defined there mean the same thing here. If this page and the Agreement conflict, the Agreement controls. Reach us at mantric2026@yahoo.com or 1203 Mesker Park Dr, Evansville, Indiana 47720.
II. How Our Pricing Works
Flat rates. The price listed for each service is the full price of that service's labor, no matter how long the work takes us. Every price already includes insured, trackable return shipping to any address in the contiguous United States. Parts are the only thing billed separately — we list each one on your estimate before we buy it.
Payment. All prices are in U.S. dollars, due in full when you place your order. We accept credit and debit cards and other digital payment methods. We do not accept cash or checks.
Sales tax. Prices do not include sales tax. If it applies to your order, it's shown separately on your estimate and receipt.
More than one service. If you order more than one service for the same device on the same order, you pay the full price for the highest-priced service and $30 less for each additional service, because we only ship your device back once. This discount does not apply to diagnostics, additional parts, the add-ons below, or custom builds.
III. What Every Order Includes
Every service on this page includes the following at no extra charge:
IV. Diagnostics
Not sure what's wrong with your device? Start with a diagnostic. We test it, find the cause, and email you a written estimate for the repair.
| Service | What's included | Price |
|---|---|---|
| Diagnostic | Hardware and software testing to find the cause of the problem, followed by a written repair estimate. | $69 |
Credited toward your repair. If you approve the repair, the full $69 is subtracted from the repair price — the diagnostic costs you nothing extra.
If you don't go ahead. If you decline the repair, or we find your device can't be repaired, the $69 diagnostic is the only charge, and we ship your device back at no additional cost.
Already know which service you need? Order it directly and skip the diagnostic. The $69 diagnostic is also the diagnostic fee referred to throughout our Consumer User Agreement.
V. Software Services
| Service | What's included | Price |
|---|---|---|
| Virus & malware removal | Scanning for and removing viruses, spyware, adware, and browser hijackers; installing security updates; confirming the device is clean. You receive a Service Report listing every threat removed, which our warranty on this service is based on. | $119 |
| Windows repair or reinstall | Fixing startup errors, crashes, and blue screens. If a repair isn't possible, a clean reinstall of Windows with current drivers and updates, using your existing license. Back up your data first, or add Data Backup & Restore. | $109 |
| Tune-up & deep clean | Removing unneeded startup programs and pre-installed software, updating drivers and BIOS, cleaning dust from inside the device, replacing CPU thermal paste, and checking fans and temperatures. | $99 |
| Data recovery | Recovering deleted files, or files from a damaged partition, on a drive that still powers on and is detected. Recovered files are returned on a drive you provide or one we supply at parts cost. | $149 |
If we can't recover your data, we refund the data recovery price minus the $69 diagnostic fee. We don't currently recover data from physically damaged drives (for example, drives that click, aren't detected, or have water or fire damage) — but we can point you to a specialist.
VI. Hardware Repairs and Upgrades
| Service | What's included | Price |
|---|---|---|
| Part install/replacement, first part | Installing or replacing one internal part, such as memory (RAM), a storage drive, a graphics card, a power supply, a CPU cooler, a case fan, or a Wi-Fi card. | $89 |
| Each additional part, same order | Each additional part installed or replaced on the same order. | $29 |
| SSD upgrade with cloning | Moving your existing system, programs, and files onto a new solid-state drive so nothing needs to be reinstalled. | $119 |
| Laptop part replacement | Replacing a laptop screen, keyboard, battery, fan, or other part that isn't soldered to the motherboard. | $109 |
| Platform swap or rebuild | Moving your parts to a new motherboard and CPU, or into a new case: full teardown, reassembly, cable management, BIOS update, and stress test. | $179 |
Parts are billed separately (see Parts, below). We don't currently offer board-level (soldering) repairs.
VII. Custom PC Builds
| Service | What's included | Price |
|---|---|---|
| Standard build | Most ATX and Micro-ATX builds with an air cooler or an all-in-one (AIO) liquid cooler. | $229 |
| Advanced build | Small form factor (Mini-ITX) builds, extensive fan and RGB lighting setups, or systems with two graphics cards. | $279 |
| Custom liquid-cooling loop | Custom tubing and water-block loops, quoted individually — see Services Not Listed, below. | Custom quote |
Every build includes: assembly and cable management; a BIOS update and memory profile (XMP/EXPO) setup; Windows installation with current drivers (you provide the license key, or we buy a genuine license at parts cost); stress and stability testing of the CPU, GPU, and memory with temperature checks; photos of your finished build before it ships; and protective packing inside and outside the case with insured, trackable shipping.
Free parts list review. Before you buy anything, email us your parts list and we'll check it for compatibility at no charge, whether or not you order a build.
Your parts or ours. Buy your own parts and have them shipped directly to us — we'll check each one on arrival and flag anything missing or damaged. Or we can buy the parts for you (see Parts, below).
VIII. Parts
Parts we buy for you. Billed at our actual cost, including any shipping and tax we pay, plus a 10% sourcing fee, capped at $40 per order. Every part and its price is listed on your estimate before we buy it, and we'll send a copy of the receipt if you ask.
Parts you supply. No fee for installing parts you supply. We check them before installing; if a part is defective, we'll tell you before going further. Returning or exchanging that part is between you and its seller. Our warranty covers our workmanship on parts you supply — the manufacturer's warranty covers defects in the part itself.
Windows licenses. Provide your own key, or we'll buy a genuine retail license for you at parts cost.
Removed parts. We hold removed parts for at least 72 hours. If you ask for one back, we ship it with your device at no charge.
IX. Shipping
Shipping to us. You pay to ship your device or parts to us, and your device is your responsibility while in transit to us. If you'd like, we can email you a prepaid shipping label at our discounted carrier rate, with no markup.
Shipping back to you. Insured, trackable ground shipping to any address in the contiguous United States is included in every price on this page.
Oversized devices. Full-tower cases, and any package over 40 lbs or longer than 26" on any side, add a $35 oversized return shipping charge.
Faster return shipping. Want two-day or overnight return shipping? We charge only the difference between that and ground shipping, at our cost.
Alaska, Hawaii & U.S. territories. We charge only the difference between contiguous-U.S. ground shipping and the actual cost to your address. We don't currently ship outside the United States.
Warranty claims. You pay to ship your device to us. If we confirm the claim is covered, we pay for all labor, parts, and return shipping. If it isn't covered and you decline a paid repair, the $69 diagnostic fee applies and includes return shipping.
Declined devices. If we decline your device after it arrives, we ship it back at our expense and refund your payment in full.
X. Other Fees and Optional Services

| Data backup & restore (add-on) | Copying your files (up to 1 TB) before we work on your device, then restoring them afterward. Available only with another service. | $39 |

We may change these prices from time to time. Each version of this document carries a version number and date, shown on its cover. A price change applies only to orders placed after its effective date.
