What to expect

• Learn and grow: Get hands-on experience and learn valuable repair skills while working alongside our friendly volunteer fixers.
• We’ll do our best: While we can’t promise every item will be fixed, we’re committed to giving it our best shot and helping you along the way! If there are parts needed that we don’t have, we will assist you in finding them. You can either purchase the parts and fix it yourself or bring them to a future event for repair.
• Item disposal: If something can’t be repaired, we’ll help guide you on how to responsibly dispose of it. If parts, such as cords, can be salvaged to facilitate other repairs, we would gladly accept them for future use. Check out our Solid Waste Page or our Waste Wizard tool.
• Wait time: Depending on the clinic, wait times will vary.
• Sewing repairs: Need a quick fix? Our talented sewists can help with basic mending, hemming, and even fixing zippers.
• Other repair options: While we focus on minor fixes, we’ll help find other repair solutions if needed!
