Yes, if they are within 50 mi of the Forney city center, our service radius for data recovery services. Each listing shows where the IT firm is based and how far away it is. Proximity is 5% of the IFR Score, so a nearby IT firm gets a small edge.

What should we do first when a drive fails?
Stop using it. Do not keep restarting the computer, run repair utilities or open the drive yourself: each attempt can make recovery harder. Note what happened and contact a recovery service.
How is data recovery priced?
Usually after a diagnosis, by the type of failure and the urgency. Many services charge nothing if no data is recovered; ask before you send the drive.
