The Client: A Classic Car Business, Built on Trust (and a 13-Year-Old Computer)
A longtime customer of TechWyze runs a classic car restoration business, known for its craftsmanship, attention to detail, and passion for the golden age of American muscle. But when it came to his technology… let’s just say it had a bit of “vintage charm” too.
He was still using a 13-year-old desktop tower, complete with a transparent case and LED lighting—a setup that might’ve looked slick in 2012, but was now a ticking time bomb.
That bomb went off (almost literally) one morning.
The Wake-Up Call: A Spark, a Sizzle, and a Stressed-Out Business Owner
When he powered it on, he noticed visible sparks through the side of the case. That’s never a good sign—unless you’re restoring a 1970 Charger ignition coil.
Luckily, this business owner had done one thing right:
He enrolled in a backup and disaster recovery plan through TechWyze.
Instead of panic, he called us.
The Fix: Full Recovery, Fast
Because his business data—quotes, invoices, design files, customer records—was backed up regularly and securely:
•We were able to recover his files immediately
•We migrated everything to a new, reliable PC.
•We had him back in business the same day.
- •Zero data loss, zero downtime, zero regrets
And yes, the new pc doesn’t spark. Unless you count how fast it boots.
The Lesson: Old Computers Die. Your Business Data Shouldn’t.
This isn’t just a funny tech story—it’s a reminder that your business should never rely on aging hardware or wishful thinking.
If you’re running a company—whether it’s custom paint jobs or QuickBooks—your data is your business. And without a backup plan, you’re one power surge away from losing it all.
Why Backup Is a Business Essential
At TechWyze, we offer managed backup solutions designed specifically for small business owners who don’t have time for IT surprises.
Benefits include:

Final Thoughts: Don’t Wait for Smoke Signals
Our client’s computer may have sparked, but his business didn’t skip a beat. Why?
Because he invested in something most businesses only think about after it’s too late: a solid backup strategy.
At TechWyze, we help you prepare for the worst so you can focus on doing your best work.
