services & pricing
Every job starts with a 1-hour diagnostic, remote or at your door. You see the problem and the price before any work begins.

Expert troubleshooting from home or the office.

--mode onsite
$45diagnostic
A TechDasher comes to you.
For hardware, printers, and home networks that need someone on site, a technician is dispatched for a 1-hour diagnostic. You get a written record of what was found and what was fixed.
$40 diagnostic labor + $5 Trust & Safety fee
pricing guarantee
You pay for the diagnostic, then you decide. Remote or on-site, the booking is dedicated technician time and a 1-hour assessment. The price in the app at checkout is the price that applies.
If you approve the repair quoted in the app, the diagnostic labor fee is credited in full toward that labor: $25 for remote, or $40 for on-site. The $5 Trust & Safety fee covers verification and payment handling. It is not credited toward labor. It is refunded if we cannot find the cause.
If the technician cannot identify the cause and cannot give you a path to fix it, everything you paid is refunded: the diagnostic labor fee ($25 or $40) and the $5 Trust & Safety fee. Finding the problem counts, including a failed part that needs replacement, even if you decide not to approve the repair.
