PRICES ON REPAIRS :

Prices are subject to change. Promotional items state the price and duration and such prices only apply at the time of the promotion. No Fix, No Fee Policy – This does not cover all repairs, such as water damage and diagnostic.

WARRANTY FOR REPAIRS :

All repairs (with the exception of software related and water damaged devices) come with a 3 month warranty. This excludes faults relating to physical or accidental damage or if the device is opened whilst in your possession. If the nature of the repair falls outside the terms of your warranty or guarantee, then you may incur a charge for the repair.

If you take your device to a third party after it has been repaired by PHONE GARAGE this will void the warranty on your device. This includes both repaired and purchased devices. All software related repairs will not be covered by our warranty.

The warranty only covers the original repair. For example, if you pay for a screen repair and the screen becomes faulty, you will be covered with a 3mth warranty. If any additional faults occur that are not related to the original repair this will not be covered under warranty and will need to be paid for.

The warranty for refurbished phones and tablets sold by PHONE GARAGE differs depending on the device and only covers manufacturing defects. If the fault is not related to this or happens outside of the warranty period, an extra cost may occur. It does not cover physical or accidental damage. With all refurbished devices sold by PHONE GARAGE , the battery will only be covered by a 3-month warranty. If you purchase a refurbished mobile device from PHONE GARAGE and you accidentally damage the device this will void all warranty. If after this you purchase a repair from PHONE GARAGE , if applicable you will be covered under a new repair warranty. If the device is damaged it shall not be covered under warranty. If you pay to have it repaired it will still not be covered by warranty due to any future faults that may occur. All warranty claims have to be reported within the warranty period and returned to our premises within one week from this date. If the device you return has been reset we will need the iCloud / Google account information to be able to test the device, without this account information we will not provide a warranty. Warranty on all accessories sold by PHONE GARAGE is 30 days.

LIABILITY:

If your device is damaged beyond economical repair through our negligence or wilful misconduct, our liability will be limited to the cost of providing a replacement with a product that is the same or similar to your device. You have sole responsibility for any data stored on your device and we accept no liability for loss or corruption of such data howsoever caused. It is your responsibility to keep a record of any such data.

When bringing in a damaged device, our technicians will probably need to open up the device to either diagnose or repair it, this comes with an element of risk and may result in some minor damages to your device. We do everything possible to ensure this doesn’t happen, however, if it does happen and the damages are significant we will offer a replacement or repair.

We will not be responsible for any damage or fault caused by a previous repair.

When bringing in your mobile phone or tablet device for screen repair or home button repair, PHONE GARAGE will not be held responsible if the Touch ID feature does not work after the repair is carried out.

REPAIR PROCESS & DELAYS:

We aim to repair your device within 24 hours of receiving it. This is just an aim, this is not a promise, as every repair varies in time and difficulty. Although 99% of all repairs get done on the same day, sometimes we encounter further issues that slow the repair down.

If for any reason your repair will take longer, you will be notified of the reason and the estimated completion date.

If we need to order in new parts, the repair process may be delayed. We will keep you updated throughout the whole process.

Please be aware diagnostics may take longer than usual repairs as our trained technicians take the time to look at every element of the device and check for faulty parts. Please be advised we cannot guarantee your device will be repaired after we diagnose the fault. Liquid Damage repairs can take up to 7 days. Any Motherboard related repairs can take up to 7 days. Any Software related repairs can take up to 7 days. Orders which have multiple repairs or require additional repairs may take longer.

Any time estimate for completion of the repair service, which may be given to you, is an estimate only and does not form any obligation under the terms of this agreement. On a few iPad screen repairs occasionally fine grid lines may appear, the screen will work without any problems just light grid lines may seem apparent which will not affect the performance of the screen at all. We will be unable to refund or replace the screen based on this factor.

​PHONE GARAGE is not responsible for events that are out of PHONE GARAGE reasonable control which leads to failures to complete a service, whether delayed or incomplete. PHONE GARAGE will not be held liable under these circumstances.
