First of all, ditch the south part character. Just about every reply as said the same thing. Like post a picture of a computer or some thing else.
Even that Microsoft Clip Art with the duck holding the hammer about ready to smash the computer (see that picture posted soo many times on fliers). Just get rid of the south park character.

Just for the record, I left for the military, but need to raise a little more cash before I ship out. This flier won't go beyond 4 or 5 grocery stores and my local gym, and I'm not an official business, so I don't see how or why someone would want to pursue putting someone down like that just for mentioning I use to work there.
I did not know that you left for to do your part for Uncle Sam. Neither does the rest of the world that is reading it.
Remember that you are computer tech. You are not Steven Siegal Ex-Navy Seal who's a cook/enviromentalist/cop/whatever that happens to be in the right place at the right time.

I've never had any serious issue's with virus removal. If it was so bad it would take myself 3 hours long, I would recommend a re-format and reload. I cannot recall not being able to fix an infected computer unless the registry or hard drive was severely corrupted, and at that point I asked there permission for a backup / reload.
Some times, a Format and Reload is not option for people. Exspecially with these people that are a business.
3 hours is normall the time it take when i am dealing with some one that as a lot of business data on there computer and they got some persistant spyware that keeps coming up again and again as it rooted itself down in the registry. And it just installs itself again on reboot.

I think "Computer Repair" is a little too unprofessional. That's the sort of thing that made me think what you mentioned, "Will fix PC for food." MAYBE "Computer Services", but I don't know if it's worth replacing the current title.
It will be. It's best to just get down to the point of what services you are advertising for a heading.

You must be desperate at those prices. You're not making any profit, really...
Yes.
Charging people too little can have a negative affect too.
1. It's your time. Now putting aside company over heads, if you are charging half the price that geek squad to fix computers, that means you have to to work twice as hard to make the same money.
2. Charging lower prices make it sound like you are desperate for business. Now, I am just as desperate for business as my competators. However you charge too little, it will look like you are too desperate, which does make people think again for what they are paying for.
3. Charging a lower price can be a reflection on what your skills really are at. Lower Price Trades/Service People = Lower Skill and Ability to get the job done right.

Not sure if you didn't notice, but the south park character is a geek. Maybe I should have him holding a screwdriver or something. I was also thinking about putting a computer on there too, so he's not the only animated thing on there and is more suggestive.
So everyone agree's with former GS instead of ex?
Look, just leave the Geek Sqaud part out all together. Like if your advertisement looks professional, the people will not need to know that you used to work at Geek Squad.
As for the South Park, keeping that character there is just advertising the fact that you like South Park. It's just as the same amout of appeal as me putting a picture of one of the anime characters from one of the shows I watch.
