Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions, honest answers

Most services charge diagnosis fee $60-$100 if repair uneconomical. This fee often applies toward repair if you proceed. Transparent shops explain costs before starting work and get approval for repairs exceeding estimates.
Very low prices often mean inferior parts, no warranty, or hidden fees. Quality repairs with genuine or equivalent parts provide better value. Check reviews and warranty terms before choosing based solely on price.
If repair exceeds 60 percent of replacement cost and laptop over four years old, replacement may be smarter. However screens, batteries, and storage upgrades usually worth repairing. Consider data recovery value in decision.
