One-time services

Start with what you need.

No membership required. Describe the issue when you call; I’ll help you choose the right appointment.

Quick Help

$60 30 minutes

Focused help with one everyday task or a straightforward tech problem.

  • A connection, app or device setting
  • A short how-to session on your device
  • Phone, remote or a nearby home visit

For a task we expect to handle in half an hour. The fee covers the agreed help and time.

Device Diagnostic

$75 one device · one issue

An assessment when the cause of a device problem is unclear.

  • Investigate the agreed issue
  • Explain the findings and options
  • Recommend repair, replacement or another next step

Repair work is quoted separately. A paid diagnostic fee is applied once toward the recommended repair if you go ahead.

Tech Service & Tutoring

$150 90 minutes

Time for troubleshooting, setup or learning something new, at home or remotely.

  • Work through your agreed priorities
  • Computers, phones, printers, TVs and Wi-Fi
  • For tutoring, written steps to practice later

A good fit for several questions or a task that needs more time. Any extra time or repair work is agreed first.

If the job needs more time

Appointment prices cover the booked time and agreed help; shorter use does not reduce the fee. We pause and agree on the next step. If Quick Help becomes a diagnostic for the same issue, it is $75 total. If that work expands into the 90-minute service during the same appointment, it is $150 total. After 90 minutes, additional non-member time is $25 per 15 minutes ($100/hour).

Optional ongoing support

Someone who knows your setup.

For people who want help over time. Included monthly support is by phone or remotely; home visits are booked and paid for separately.

About Jason

A neighbor who enjoys figuring things out.

I’m Jason Rinaldi—a local husband, father of two and longtime technology tinkerer.

My background includes vocational electronics training, hands-on device repair, leading repair teams, and helping customers at Geek Squad and Apple. My aerospace work reinforced the importance of precision, careful documentation and checking the details. I bring that same care to you and your devices.

Outside work, I enjoy time with my wife, kids, dogs and cats, along with home projects, smart-home technology and 3D printing.

I want Local Electronic Solutions to help people in our community feel more comfortable with the devices they already own. I’m especially interested in making technology feel accessible and helping neighbors stay connected, learn useful features and get answers without feeling rushed.

We can repeat a step, write it down and let you try it yourself. If a job needs a different specialist, I’ll tell you.

Local Electronic Solutions is an independent business, not an Apple Authorized Service Provider.

FAQs

A few things to know.

Which service should I book?

Quick Help ($60, 30 minutes) is for a focused task, short lesson or straightforward problem. A Device Diagnostic ($75) investigates one device issue when the cause isn’t clear. Tech Service & Tutoring ($150, 90 minutes) gives us more time for troubleshooting, setup or learning. Call if you’re unsure; we’ll agree on the right starting point.

What if we need more time or can’t fix the problem?

Fees cover the agreed assistance or assessment; a repair or resolution is not guaranteed. Parts, equipment, outside service fees, additional travel and applicable tax are confirmed before you approve the work.

I’ll explain what we found and your options. For the same issue, Quick Help moving to a diagnostic is $75 total. Moving that work into the 90-minute service during the same appointment is $150 total, including time already spent. After 90 minutes, additional non-member time is $25 per 15 minutes ($100/hour). Separate appointments and repair work are quoted first.

How does the diagnostic credit work?

If you approve the recommended repair and it is completed and paid, your paid diagnostic fee is deducted once from the final repair total. For example, a $200 repair total with a $75 diagnostic already paid leaves $125 to pay. If you don’t proceed, the diagnostic fee covers the assessment. An included membership diagnostic has no separate fee to credit.

How do member appointments and the welcome visit work?

Member appointments are $95 / $90 / $80 for 60 minutes or $130 / $125 / $120 for 90 minutes, for Tech Guidance / Household Care / Business Priority. After 90 minutes, additional member time is $15 per 15 minutes ($60/hour). Appointment fees cover booked time and agreed assistance; a repair or resolution is not guaranteed. Shorter use does not reduce the booked fee. Monthly dues cover the plan benefits; appointment fees cover separately booked visits.

The $80 welcome visit requires three months of membership. Visit plus first three months: Tech Guidance $170; Household Care $320; Business Priority $530. Then month to month. One visit per new person, household or business, booked within 30 days of joining. Approved extras and applicable tax are additional.

Do monthly support minutes or diagnostics roll over?

No. Monthly minutes reset each month and have no cash value. Tech Guidance includes 1 standard diagnostic per membership year; Household Care includes 3 standard diagnostics per membership year; Business Priority includes 5. Diagnostic allowances reset annually. They cover the device assessment, not repair labor or parts. A dedicated home visit or pickup is separate and priced with you before booking; there is no extra diagnostic fee for an included assessment. Coverage counts are plan limits; you may register fewer people or devices. Member rates apply while your membership is active and payments are current.

Who qualifies for the 5% courtesy discount?

Veterans, seniors age 65+, first responders and healthcare workers receive 5% off regular one-time tech service and tutoring labor. One 5% discount per appointment; discounts and referral rewards cannot be combined. Excludes membership dues, member appointment rates, the welcome visit, diagnostics, repairs, 3D printing, parts, third-party charges, travel fees and taxes.

Quick Help and Tech Service & Tutoring are eligible. The $150 / 90-minute service becomes $142.50; $60 Quick Help becomes $57. Jason confirms eligibility and the discount before work begins. The discount applies to eligible labor before any applicable tax.

How do referral cards work?

Refer a new customer who completes and pays for a service, and earn 5% off one future eligible one-time tech service or tutoring appointment. Ask the new customer to give Jason your name when booking. One reward per new customer; one reward may be redeemed per appointment. No self-referrals, cash value or transfer. A referral does not automatically discount the new customer’s appointment.

Write your name on the card’s “Referred by” line and pass it along. Jason records earned and redeemed rewards so each is used once.

Can I arrange help for a parent or family member?

Yes. You can coordinate an appointment or join the session with their permission. The person receiving help chooses what access to allow and what work to approve. Tutoring includes practice on their own device and written steps to keep. Household Care can cover one household or two related households within its nine-device limit.

Where do you offer home visits?

Brandon and nearby communities in Hillsborough County. Send your ZIP code so I can confirm availability and any travel charge before booking. Short home visits depend on location and scheduling. There is no walk-in storefront; assessments, pickup or drop-off arrangements must be confirmed first.

What does remote help involve?

We may be able to work through the issue over the phone. If seeing your screen would help, I’ll explain how the remote session works and ask your permission before connecting. You enter your own passwords and verification codes. Remote access is only for the session you agree to.

Do I have to join a membership?

No. All one-time services are available without a membership. A plan is optional for people who want regular support and continuity. We’ll go through the included help, separate visit costs, billing and cancellation terms before you join.

What can I ask about for 3D printing?

Small organizers, hobby pieces or other simple custom items are a starting point. Send an idea, measurements or an existing model file. I’ll check whether the design, material and intended use are suitable and provide a quote before accepting the job. Design work, print cost and timing depend on the project.
