Total Care and Support Ltd.
Your one stop technical resource centre.

Extended Parts Warranties
  • The most basic service we provide is for customers who purchase an extended warranty. They are able to relax in the knowledge that should their product break down; we are here to fix it. If a problem cannot be resolved over the phone, it can be sent to our repair service centre were our highly trained engineers will diagnose the problem and replace any part that has malfunctioned. Parts are the most expensive element to any repair so with this cost covered our customers have the peace of mind their investment is protected.


Support Packages
  • Total Care and Support offer a wide range of support packages; they are designed to be both flexible and affordable. Our support packages protect our members when they find themselves facing an expensive repair bill or just simply baffled by technology. Help is always at hand over the phone, via our software or in our repair centre. These packages typically include access to our telephone hotline, parts warranty, carriage/labour costs covered, Automatic fix software (re-load CD), Anti-virus protection and our preventative health checks.


Convenient ways to pay - Direct Debit
  • All our support and warranty packages our paid for by direct debit, it’s easy to set up and you can choose the date the money is taken that best suits you. Most customers choose to pay for one year at a time and receive a 10% discount (it saves us in administration costs so we can pass that saving on to you). A typical support packages is for three years but the great thing is if you continue to make you direct debit payments, you will continue to be a Total Care member and we will continue to protect you and your product.


Replacement warranty Plasma / LCD screen protection
  • Instead of collecting, repairing and then returning your screen, Gold members will have their screen replaced with an equivalent screen in one visit. So you are never without your TV screen and don't have the hassle of two courier visits. You can relax knowing you won't have to wait for parts or dig out your old TV to watch while you screen is being repaired.


Technical Hardware Hotline Support
  • New technology can be complicated, the simple fact it is new means not everyone knows how it works. There will always be a time you will need someone to turn to for advice when something is not doing what you want it to do. This is when our team of friendly advisors can step in. They have all been trained to answer question people like you ask, in a jargon free way. They also have access to a vast amount of information on the products sold by Tiny.com and The Computer Shop, no other company has as much experience as Total Care and Support.


Technical Software Hotline Support
  • Just as new hardware technology can be confusing so can computer software and it can often be software that is causing the problem. Our advisors know the Windows operating system inside out and can talk you through how to set up your software to do what you want it to do.


Hassle free deliveries and collections
  • Should a service centre repair be required, our customer service team will arrange deliveries and collections to suit you. They will also send a text message to your mobile phone alerting you to the delivery or collection date. All deliveries and collections are made by reputable courier companies and are insured against loss or damage. Suitable packaging material is also available.


Access to our experienced repair engineers
  • Our engineers know your product inside. We specialize in PC and Flat Screen products and have a wealth of knowledge, particularly on Tiny and Time products, that is not available anywhere else. Our service centre is equipped with all the necessary tools to repair both computers and large plasma televisions. Stock of spare parts and upgrade parts is also reserved for Total Care members. In addition to all this our engineers have access to your customer history, so can detect any recurring problems, and access to the model build specifications and software installation details from the factory that built your product.


PC and Notebook Re-load Discs
  • Total Care and Support worked closely with Granville Technology to develop a simple way of resetting their PCs and Notebooks to their factory settings. Meaning the computer is restored to its 'out of the box' set up. The process works by unlocking a locked set of files on the computers hard drive. It is a simple process and can solve most problems caused by accidentally deleting or over writing files. Please note all data on the computer must be backed up before this process is performed.


Anti Virus, Anti Hacker, Internet Security and Parental Controls software
  • Connect to the Internet or use e-mail without any protection and your computer will very quickly start to suffer. Malware, Spyware, Viruses, Trojans and other malicious programs are easily transferred to your system without you realising - some just make your computer run slowly, others can render it un-useable. Total Care and Support offer protection against such disasters as part of our Gold support package. New viruses and attacks are being discovered all the time (there is a new virus detected every 18 seconds) our Gold package includes regular updates for the duration of you membership.


We know your customer history and your product
  • When working for Granville, Tiny.com and The Computer Shop it was essential for us to have access to their customer product purchase information. All technical support, service repair centre and customer service teams can bring up the details of the product you purchased at the touch of a button. This enables them to quickly and accurately resolve any problems you may be experiencing. We won't waste your time asking questions about the contents of your PC, (questions you may not be able to answer) this makes us more efficient, and so it costs us less to help you and therefore saves you money.


Labour charge free - PC upgrades
  • Silver and Gold members can take advantage of our labour charge free PC upgrade service. If you are unhappy with your PCs performance a component upgrade can often resolve the problem and is less expensive than a new PC. Our friendly Hotline advisors will help you decide the right upgrade for you and because they know your system spec, can advise what upgrade will work. We will then arrange for your system to be collected by insured courier and delivered to our service centre engineers. The upgrade will be carried out swiftly and tested thoroughly. It will then be returned to you, again by insured courier. All you pay for is the upgraded part and because we buy in bulk our upgrades are not expensive.


PC and Notebook Health Checks
  • Keeping your computer 'healthy' is the best way to protect yourself from the inconvenience of a breakdown. Our specially developed Health Check software can help eliminate potential problems. You simply run the software every 2 or 3 months (or as often as you like) and it will perform over 10 essential checks to keep your system running smoothly. The software is easy to use and will not remove or change any of your personal settings, but if you do need help running it our friendly advisors are on the end of the phone to help.


Remote on-site PC repair service
  • This is a great facility available to Gold members, with your permission; our technical engineers can access your computer via your Internet connection. Then rather than talk you through making changes to your software setting, they can actually do it for you. It is a little un-nerving at first to see you cursor moving around your screen without you touching anything. But when you get used to it you can follow what is being done and should the problem re-occur you might be able to fix it yourself with your new found knowledge.


Upgrade / Downgrade - Our flexible support packages
  • If you find you need more from your chosen support package, say you would like the anti-virus/Internet security protection and our remote on-site service you can upgrade at anytime. Your direct debit payment will change accordingly and you will receive the additional benefits immediately. Alternatively if you find you would like to downgrade, after the first 12 months you may do so.


Transfer of support package option
  • Quite often people pass on their products to a friend or family member or sell them to buy a new one. If this happens to you, the support package can be transferred to the new owner. We simply change the details of ownership and the direct debit information and the new owner can receive all the same benefits of Total Care membership.
