I do not, but it's probably not worth it even if you could find someone. Just buy a new one. YMMV, but I doubt it.

If it won't start, it's clogged carb. If it runs but poor or no pressure, it's bad pump. Pump will run you 80 bucks giver or take to replace. Carb is simple and needs jets removed and cleaned.

Ryobi is sold by Home Depot, you can run it by them. Ryobi is part of Milwaukee power tools...

Gas or electric? I tend to agree with the comments above for a GAS unit, if it is electric, you need to provide more information, does the electric motor run?, do you have any pressure or low pressure?, did you use a cleaner NOT rated for use with pressure washers?

If electric and runs most likely the pressure valve plugged up or sticking? If it was run dry several times the diaphragm maybe burnt up? It no power and only if you have electric knowledge trouble shooting open unit and trace wires using multimeter.

Never turn on pressure washer without bleeding all air through hose, unit, and spray hose. Do this by connecting water hose turn it on run water through unit, then connect spay nozzle hose run water though that getting all air out, connect nozzle handle open spray trigger releasing remaining air. Now ready to pressure wash. O, this applies to electric or gas pressure washers.

There is a pressure washer repair place that is very good on main street in Leesburg. Forgot the name but it’s on the right side going past the college after town.

Is it still under warranty? Check the internet for common issues for your model? Check the Ryobi site for places that may support it? Please check back with us on what you find.

If it can be repaired, it probably could be a DIY.

But it you don't want to do it, I'm sure anyone advertising lawnmotor repair would be capable.

. It will cost more to repair than to buy a new one.

Call the Ryobi 800 number for a referral. I took in a Ryobi cordless lawnmower a year ago and was informed by Home Depot they no longer do small engine repairs.
I used a lawn mower repair shop for my pressure washer on 275 when I first moved here 6 years ago. They were great and reasonably priced. I will definitely will go back.
