How it works
Four steps, and nothing is charged until you have agreed to a price.
- 1
Tell us the problem
Browse the pros yourself, or fill in one short form and we will do the matching for you. Either way it costs nothing.
- 2
Agree to a price
The pro looks at the job and quotes you before they start. Nothing is charged until you say yes to that number.
- 3
You pay Techbud.Net
Not the technician. We hold your money safely while the work is done, so nobody is holding your cash and your computer at once.
- 4
Happy? Then they get paid
You confirm the job was done right and we release the money. If something is not right, we get on the phone with both of you and work it out.
Why you can trust the names on this list
Anyone can put up a website saying they fix computers. The point of Techbud.Net is that somebody checked first, and that the person wearing the crown is you, not the technician.
We meet every pro
A real conversation, in person or on video, before anyone is listed. We do not accept sign-ups automatically.
Background checked
Every pro passes a criminal background check before their profile goes live, and again each year.
Plain-language pricing
Rates are posted on every profile. Pros agree to quote before they start and to call you before any work goes over the quote.
We hold the money until you are happy
You pay Techbud.Net, not the pro. Nothing is released until you tell us the job was done right. If something is off, a person here works through it with both of you until it is settled fairly.
Think you’ve got what it takes?

- No monthly fee and no charge for leads. We keep 15% of a job only when it completes.
- No more chasing invoices. The money is already collected before you start work.
What we ask of you

Still stuck?
Describe the problem in your own words and we will find someone who handles that sort of thing. It is free, and we will not put you on a mailing list.
