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:

1

Request a Quote

Start by filling out our quote request 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 more information you provide, the more accurate our initial assessment will be.

2

Device Evaluation

Once we receive your device (either via walk-in drop-off or mail), our technicians will perform a thorough diagnostic to identify the exact issue. We'll check all components and systems to ensure we address the root cause of the problem. You'll receive a ticket ID that you can use to track your repair status online.

3

Repair Quote

After diagnosis, we'll provide you with a detailed quote outlining the required repairs, parts, labor costs, and estimated completion time. We won't proceed with any work until you approve the quote.

4

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.

5

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.

6

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.

Service Options
