Repair process FAQs
How does the intake process work?
Walk in or book online. At intake we log your device, note any existing damage or cosmetic issues with you present, confirm your contact info, and give you a written check-in ticket so you know exactly what we received.
What does the free diagnostic include?
A technician inspects the device, tests the reported issue, and checks related components (battery health, charging port, board-level signs, water indicators). If more than one thing is wrong, we tell you before doing any work — the diagnostic itself is always free.
How do I approve the repair and price?
After diagnostics we send you a written quote — in person, by text, or by email — with the exact part grade (for example Soft OLED V3 vs LCD) and total price. Nothing gets opened or replaced until you approve. No surprise charges.
How long do most repairs take?
Most screen and battery replacements are done in about 15 minutes while you wait. Charging ports, back glass and Samsung/Pixel screens are usually same-day. Board-level, liquid-damage, data-recovery and some laptop repairs can take 1–5 business days — we'll give you a time estimate on the quote.
How will I know when my device is ready?
You'll get a text and/or email the moment the repair is finished, with a link to your ticket. If we hit anything unexpected mid-repair, we pause and contact you before continuing.
How do I pick up my device — or can you deliver it?
Standard pickup is at our Charlotte shop (7146 E Independence Blvd, Suite B) during business hours; bring your ticket or ID. We also offer pickup & delivery within 15 miles for a flat $29 — pick a time window at checkout and a courier handles both legs.
What if you can't fix my device?
No-fix, no-fee. If the repair isn't possible or isn't worth it, you don't pay for the diagnostic and we return the device in the same condition we received it, with an honest explanation of what we found.
