How It Works
Our simple repair process from start to finish
Our Repair Process
At Motherboard Repair Canada, we've streamlined our repair process to make it as convenient as possible for you. Whether you choose walk-in drop-off or mail-in service, here's what you can expect:
Request Job Assessment
Start by filling out our job assessment form or leaving a voicemail at 226-702-0555. You can request a callback via the contact form or by leaving your contact information in your voicemail message. Provide as much detail as possible about your device and the issues you're experiencing. The free job assessment determines whether we can accept the job.
Device Evaluation
Once an accepted device arrives by walk-in drop-off or mail, our technicians confirm intake details and perform any approved diagnostic or repair work needed to identify repair options. You'll receive a ticket ID that you can use to track your repair status online.
Approval and Pricing
Before billable repair work begins, we confirm the repair scope, parts, labor costs, and estimated completion time. We won't proceed with billable work until you approve it.
Repair Service
Our skilled technicians will perform the necessary repairs using high-quality parts and advanced tools. We specialize in component-level repairs, often fixing issues that other shops can't handle.
Quality Testing
After repairs are complete, we thoroughly test your device to ensure everything is working properly. We run diagnostic software, stress tests, and functionality checks to verify the repair quality.
Device Return
Once testing is complete, we'll notify you that your device is ready. For walk-in drop-off service, you can pick up your device at our location. For mail-in service, we'll ship your device back to you using secure shipping methods. Tracking is available upon request.
Our Commitment to Transparency
We are committed to being as transparent as possible to make sure that you're never surprised by something you weren't expecting. We can't predict everything, but we have the ability to solve most modern circuit-related issues and we've seen a lot of repeat problems across all of our technicians' experience. If we're unsure about something, you will know before we take the plunge into the unknown together, and we are happy to do our best effort to ensure that you've given the fix a fair shot.
Limitations We're Transparent About
One of the things we can't see is behind proprietary secrets in some chips that are kept secret, but if this becomes a problem during your repair, we will let you know before we proceed.
Expedited Services
Priority Processing
For time-sensitive repairs, we offer expedited service with priority processing. Expedited services include a separate expedited fee that varies based on the type of service:
- Diagnostics and Repair Services: 50% expedited fee added to the base service price
- All Other Services: 100% expedited fee added to the base service price
The expedited fee is calculated on all hours and work performed for your service.
Turnaround Times
- Expedited Service: 1-2 days approximate turnaround depending on inventory levels, holidays, and other emergencies or acts of god
- Standard Service: 14 day maximum turnaround
- Retainer Service: 7 day maximum turnaround for all retainer subscribers
Note: Turnaround times are approximate and subject to parts availability, holidays, and unforeseen circumstances beyond our reasonable control. We work as fast as inventory allows and will communicate any delays promptly.
Retainer Benefits
