Workshop or home you still need to be around to deal with any prompts.
now add:
memtest86 2 pass minimum
check all drivers and hardware inc ports are operational
speed test the hdd to verify its operating in the correct mode
full virus and trojan scan ( 2 programs)
full anti spyware scan (2 programs)
a reg inspector and cleaner
a full defrag
check directx with dx diagnostix inc all tests
run a cuple of benchmarks and stress tests.
usually a customer would also mention a specific problem which will need investigating
PCWorld health check £50 2 hour slot ? Its like going to a car wash where they offer a full valet for a fiver. It cant be delivered so you would not get it.
