Since every kind of repair we perform is different, payment is due upon receipt.

The typical cell phone battery begins to deteriorate after 400 charging cycles. The average user will reach this point after 1-2 years of regular usage.

When your item becomes damaged, your warranty protection becomes void.


If I really need my item repaired as quickly as possible, how can I be sure your mail-in services are fast enough?

Typically most mail-in repairs are completed within 48 hours. If you need your item sent back in a faster manner than regular mail services, let our staff know and we will be able to send your item back to you by priority shipping with an extra cost.


What is the success rate of water damage repair?

Typically we have a water damage repair success rate of 75% percent, though nothing is guaranteed to work and there is no warranty included.


I found a repair for cheaper. Why should I choose Fixtan?

While there’s always someone who can fix your device for cheap, beware of prices that seem too good to be true. A cheap repair from the other guys often involves subpar replacement parts, further damaged devices, and more repairs needed in the long run.

At Fixtan, we we believe in using top-quality parts and upholding the highest standards to ensure we get every repair right. Our repairs are trustworthy—we use professional-grade replacement parts, provide lifetime warranties, and are always there to help with any future issues.


Do you look through my photos?

Fixtan takes your security very seriously. Our technicians go through rigorous background screening and training. We do not go through any of your personal data (e.g. contacts, messages, photos, etc.). if you aren’t comfortable, you are not required to provide us with your password.


What happens if Fixtan can’t fix it?

On the odd occasion that we can not repair your phone, we will get in touch to let you know and return the phone. You will be charged the courier service charge only.


Why do the charges differ?

Each repair is priced on time taken, type of damage, and any parts needed. Until we assess the damage we can not know the true cost of repair.
