Cost and time comparison

Remote support faster response, lower cost, and immediate start. On-site support requires travel time, scheduling, and higher cost but handles physical work. Many problems start remote then escalate on-site if needed. Hybrid approach maximizes efficiency and minimizes cost.

No Fix, No Fee applies to standard remote and on-site technical support where we are unable to resolve your issue. It excludes hardware repairs, does not guarantee a resolution within the minimum one-hour visit, and does not cover additional labour time or parts, which remain payable. Where additional work is quoted and not accepted, No Fix, No Fee does not apply to that work.
