I don't know much about them but the thing is, if you have a lot of volume, reformatting or replacing a part may be all you have time to do. They do not have time to sit for hours and find some registry error for example. So if they can save all those hourly wages paid to a tech and just have him replace a $50 HD then that's what is going to happen. And they do charge a lot just like any PC repair business. Just like plumbers, electricians, etc. They know how to do this and you don't, so they charge it because they can.
