Aurora, Colorado, is a large, fast-growing city on Denver's eastern edge, home to the University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus and Buckley Space Force Base, with neighborhoods spreading out onto the plains. Front Range hail, lightning, high winds, dry air, and winter storms are the main threats to devices here. We recover Aurora devices by mail.
Aurora lies on the plains at the edge of the Front Range, where summer thunderstorms bring frequent lightning and the metro area takes some of the heaviest hail damage in the country. Storms can knock out power, crack windows, and let water into homes. Lightning surges travel through power, cable, and phone lines. Plug desktops, routers, and NAS units into a UPS, unplug them when a strong storm is overhead, and keep an offsite or cloud backup of anything important.
The air is dry for most of the year, and static shocks are common, which can damage a bare drive or SSD during handling. Strong winter winds and snowstorms can bring down lines and cause outages, and wide temperature swings mean a laptop brought in from a cold car can collect condensation. Ground yourself before touching internal parts, keep bare drives in anti-static bags, and let cold devices warm up to room temperature before switching them on.

Data recovery in Aurora — common questions
Is my drive's research or health-related data handled carefully?+
Yes. Your device is handled only by our engineers, and recovered data is returned to you, not shared. If the device belongs to a hospital, university, or employer, check their IT policy first, since some institutions require approved vendors.
Is there a ClearQuote office in Aurora or Denver?+
No. We have no office, lab, or drop-off point anywhere in the Denver area. We are mail-in only: confirm online, then drop the package off at any carrier location in Aurora with the free prepaid label.
Do I have to visit a location in Aurora?+
No. ClearQuote is a mail-in service — there's no drop-off required. We email you a free prepaid shipping label, you send the device from anywhere in Aurora, and we handle the recovery in our ISO-certified cleanroom.
How much does data recovery cost in Aurora?+
One flat $1,200 for the consumer devices we handle — hard drives, SSDs, phones, and cards — quoted before you ship. There are no per-gigabyte fees and no diagnostic charge, and you pay $0 if we can't recover your data.
