Getting help from The PC Buddy is simple. You don’t need to bring your computer anywhere, install complicated software, or understand any technical terms. Here’s exactly what happens.
Free diagnosis · No obligation · We call you back
Three Steps to a Fixed Computer
From the moment you reach out to the moment your problem is gone.
You Reach Out
Call us, use the live chat, or fill in the free diagnosis form. Just describe what’s happening in your own words — no tech knowledge needed. ‘My printer stopped working’ or ‘my emails won’t load’ is exactly what we need.
We Call You Back and Diagnose
One of our experts calls you back, listens carefully, and diagnoses the issue. We explain what we think is wrong in plain English — no jargon. We tell you exactly what it will cost before we start. No surprises.
We Connect Safely and Fix It
With your permission, we connect to your screen using a simple, secure tool. You see everything we do in real time. You’re in control and can disconnect at any moment. We fix the problem, show you it’s working, and make sure you’re happy before we finish.
What Does a Remote Session Look Like?
You sit at your computer as normal. You’ll see our technician’s mouse cursor moving on your screen — that’s it. You watch every click. You can ask questions at any time. You stop the session at any time.

Is Remote Support Safe?
The short answer is yes. Here’s why you can trust it.

You Watch Everything
Your screen shows exactly what we’re doing. Nothing happens without you seeing it.

You’re Always in Control
Disconnect at any time with one click. We have no permanent access to your computer — ever.
Your Questions About Remote Support
Do I need to download anything special?
You may need to download a small, safe remote access program — we walk you through it step by step. It takes about 2 minutes and can be removed when the session ends if you prefer.
What if I’m not comfortable with someone on my screen?
That’s completely understandable. We explain everything before we start, you watch every action on your screen, and you can end the session any time. Many customers tell us they actually enjoy watching the problem get fixed.
What if my problem can’t be fixed remotely?
Some hardware issues — like a broken screen or physical component failure — can’t be fixed remotely. If that’s the case, we tell you honestly and suggest next steps. You won’t be charged.
How long does a typical session take?
Most problems are solved in 20 to 45 minutes. We always give you a time estimate before we start.
