Tell us the document requirements first
If a claim needs an assessment or quotation, send the insurer’s requested format and device details before booking. Different claims can require different information. Fix My Gadget provides repair assessment and documentation for the work it can support; it does not approve claims or promise payment by an insurer.
Confirm the device identity privately
A model and serial or asset reference may be needed to identify the assessed device. Share that information through the repair request or agreed private channel. Do not publish serial numbers, home addresses or policy details in a public review or social post.
Describe the incident accurately
Tell us what you know about the incident, when the fault appeared and any previous work. Customer-reported events and workshop findings should be distinguishable. An assessment must not invent an accidental cause or certify damage that has not been supported by inspection.
Assessment before the quotation
Photos can help plan the next step, but the model, panel condition, power behaviour and other damage may require inspection. For MacBook and laptop display damage, the lid, hinge and related assemblies can affect the proposed work. We explain the repair route before a part is ordered.
A formal repair scope
The quotation should identify the device, assessed repair recommendation, proposed part and work, and any separately agreed transport. Additional damage or a changed part option should be discussed before approval. An invoice follows the agreed work and payment process; the quotation is not proof that repair has already been completed.
Collection and the outcome
Collection and return can be arranged after the area, device and booking details are confirmed. If the repair is approved, the device is repaired and checked for the agreed work before return. If the claim or repair does not proceed, discuss the assessment fee, device return and documentation directly with the repair desk.

Questions before booking
Can you collect more than one device?
A grouped collection can be discussed after the device count, actual address, handling and availability are confirmed. Each repair still needs clear findings and approval.
Are timing and parts guaranteed before assessment?
No. Feasibility, compatible parts and the proposed work are confirmed for the device. Tell the repair desk about any important deadline before booking.
