REPAIR is not assured: while we do have an excellent track record any specific item can have issues that make it unrepairable or we can exacerbate the problem during our attempts to repair it.
To participate in a Fixit Clinic:
- Bring the broken item with all parts necessary to recreate the symptoms (carry-in only: no oversize items)
- Bring any parts and tools you already own that might be helpful (e.g. hand tools, sewing notions)
- Come ready to clearly describe what’s wrong and what you’ve tried (Tip: advance web research about your item is especially helpful)
- Come eager to learn and to share your skills and knowledge with others
Thanks, and we're looking forward to seeing your smiling face at Fixit Clinic!
