A repair shop suits one-off fixes on a few computers. Once you rely on shared files, email, backups and security across several staff, an IT provider with a support agreement usually works out better.

Should we back up before a repair?

Yes, if the computer still starts. Repairs can involve replacing drives or reinstalling the system. Ask the shop whether it backs up data first and what it charges.
