PCNS charges by the hour.  When it comes to diagnosis and repair, I believe the customer will get the most comprehensive diagnosis and repair by charging by the hour.  The risk with flat rate pricing is a technician may skip certain tests or diagnostics, because as time progresses, there is a break even point, when the Service Provider will lose money. 

This may result in the technician using a "canned" or "all size fits one" approach to troubleshooting, which may result in less than satisfactory repair, and the possibility of a repeat call back. Flat rate pricing sometimes take the worst case scenario.  While a $249 flat rate repair may sound alluring, it's no bargain if PCNS can resolve it in under 4  hours or less.
