Helping you understand your options is part of our service.

The best way to contact RD3 Tech is through our enquiry form or email. Providing information upfront helps RD3 Tech understand your situation and recommend the appropriate next step.

Technology problems often involve multiple factors. Written information allows RD3 Tech to:

• Review the details properly
• Ask the right questions
• Understand the situation before responding
• Prepare for the correct solution

Phone calls are useful, especially for existing customers or urgent communication, but providing details upfront usually helps create a better outcome.

RD3 Tech operates as an appointment-based IT support and consulting service rather than a walk-in repair shop. Many technology issues require time to understand, investigate, and prepare the right solution. Appointments allow RD3 Tech to:

• Understand your requirements before work begins
• Allocate the correct amount of time
• Prepare the right tools and information
• Protect customer equipment and data
• Maintain reliable service for all customers

The RD3 Tech workshop is not a public retail location or walk-in service centre. For certain jobs, a drop-off service may be available at the RD3 Tech workshop. Drop-offs are by appointment only and must be confirmed before bringing equipment in.

Yes, for certain jobs. Some repairs or technical work may be completed through the RD3 Tech workshop drop-off service. Drop-off work is:

• By appointment only
• Scheduled before bringing equipment in
• Confirmed before arrival

Please contact RD3 Tech before bringing equipment to the workshop.

No. Equipment can only be accepted when a drop-off appointment has been arranged. This helps ensure:

• Your equipment is correctly recorded
• The required work is understood
• Any access requirements are discussed
• Your equipment is stored appropriately

No. All visits must be scheduled in advance. RD3 Tech is not a public retail store or walk-in repair centre. Scheduled appointments help protect:

• Customer equipment
• Customer privacy
• Existing client appointments
• The quality of service provided

Technology problems are not always obvious. A problem that appears to be a device issue may involve:

• Software
• Accounts
• Networks
• Internet connectivity
• Security
• Backup systems

If you are unsure, ask. RD3 Tech can help determine whether the issue fits within our services and what the best next step may be.

Professional technology advice requires time, experience, and understanding of your situation. Providing the right recommendation may involve:

• Reviewing your current technology
• Understanding your goals
• Identifying the cause of problems
• Researching available options
• Comparing solutions
• Considering future requirements

A quick answer is not always the right answer. Charging for professional assessment allows RD3 Tech to provide accurate advice rather than rushed recommendations based on limited information.

Sometimes. For simple and clearly defined work, pricing may be provided upfront. However, many technology issues require assessment before an accurate recommendation or cost can be provided. Understanding the situation first helps avoid unnecessary work and unexpected costs.

Technology problems can sometimes reveal additional issues once work begins. If something outside the original scope is identified, RD3 Tech will discuss:

• What has been found
• Why it matters
• Available options
• Any changes to cost or timeframe

No additional work will proceed without discussion.

Sometimes. If the immediate problem can be safely and appropriately resolved on its own, RD3 Tech can focus on that issue. However, if the problem indicates a larger issue, RD3 Tech will explain what has been found and discuss the options with you.

Technology problems are not always what they initially appear to be. If investigation identifies a different issue, RD3 Tech will explain what has been found before changing the scope of work.

Additional work may be possible, depending on available time and the nature of the request. Additional work may require a new scope, estimate, or appointment.

Yes. Repair versus replacement is often a technology decision rather than simply a repair decision. Considerations may include:

• Age of the equipment
• Current performance
• Repair cost
• Future requirements
• Security and software support
• Expected useful life

RD3 Tech can help you compare the options and make an informed decision.

Same-day service may be available depending on urgency, workload, location, and availability. Contact RD3 Tech with the details of the problem and we can advise on the next available option.

Scheduled appointments allow RD3 Tech to allocate the right amount of time and prepare appropriately for each job. This provides:

• Better preparation
• More reliable scheduling
• Less disruption
• Better protection of customer equipment and data

Please provide as much notice as possible. Appointments cancelled or rescheduled with less than 24 hours’ notice may incur a cancellation charge.

RD3 Tech will provide as much notice as reasonably possible and work with you to arrange another suitable time.

RD3 Tech only handles customer information and data as required to provide the agreed service. Where data needs to be accessed or transferred as part of the work, this will be discussed with you.

Sometimes access credentials may be required to complete certain work. RD3 Tech will only request access that is necessary for the agreed work.

Yes. RD3 Tech provides ongoing Managed Support for customers who need regular technology assistance and proactive support.

One-off service is suitable when you have a specific problem, project, upgrade, or technology requirement. Managed Support is designed for customers who want ongoing assistance, monitoring, planning, and technology management.

No. Managed Support can be suitable for small businesses and community organisations that rely on technology but do not need a full-time internal IT team.
