How It Works

Simple, transparent,
done right

From the moment you walk in to the moment you leave with your fixed device — here's exactly what happens at Tech Stop.

Step 01

Free Diagnosis

Walk in with your device and our technician will assess it. No appointment needed. For most repairs — cracked screens, batteries, charging ports — the diagnosis is free. For complex cases like dead phones, no-power laptops, or board-level issues that require significant bench time, we charge a $30 diagnostic fee. If you go ahead with the repair, that $30 is applied toward your total. If you choose not to proceed, you pay only the diagnostic fee.

Step 02

Upfront Pricing — No Surprises

Once we've assessed your device, we give you a fixed price before any work starts. That's the price you pay. No add-ons, no hidden labour charges, no "we found additional damage" surprises after the fact.

Step 03

Expert Repair

Our technician gets to work using quality parts and precision tools. We don't rush — but we are fast. Most phone screen and battery replacements are done in under an hour. Complex repairs like microsoldering or water damage may take longer, and we'll always tell you the estimated timeframe upfront.

Step 04

Quality Check & Testing

Before we hand your device back, it goes through a thorough quality check. Every function that was repaired is tested — screen responsiveness, battery charge cycle, camera, speakers, charging, and any other relevant functions. You leave knowing everything works.

Step 05

Pick Up & Walk Out Fixed

Pay and take your device home — good as new, with a 30-day warranty on parts and workmanship. If anything related to the repair goes wrong within the warranty period, bring it back and we'll fix it at no charge. That's our commitment to every customer.

Our commitments to every customer

Your data stays private

We never access, copy, or view your personal photos, messages, or files. Your device is repaired, not inspected.

Honest time estimates

We tell you exactly how long your repair will take before we start. No vague "a few hours" — a real timeframe.

No repair, no charge

If we can't fix your device or you choose not to proceed after diagnosis, you pay nothing. No diagnostic fees hidden in the fine print.

Warranty

What our 30-day warranty covers

Parts defects

If any part we installed fails or is defective within 30 days, we replace it at no charge.

Workmanship issues

If the repair itself causes a problem, we fix it free. Our work is guaranteed.

Not covered: new physical damage

Drops, cracks, or new damage after the repair are not covered — but we'll still fix those at a fair price.

Not covered: water damage

Water damage treatment has no warranty due to the unpredictable nature of liquid damage outcomes.

Common Questions

Questions about our process

Do I need to book an appointment?

No — just walk in during business hours and we'll assess your device straight away. For complex repairs or parts that need to be ordered, we may schedule a follow-up time.

Should I back up my phone before bringing it in?

Yes — we strongly recommend it. While we take every care with your device, certain repairs (like motherboard work or factory resets) can result in data loss. A backup protects you regardless of what shop you use.

Do I need to leave my device with you?

For most repairs — screen, battery, charging port — you can stay at the mall while we work (45–60 minutes). For complex repairs, we'll ask you to leave it with us and notify you when it's ready.

What if my device can't be repaired?

We'll tell you honestly after diagnosis. If we can't fix it, you pay nothing. We also sell new and used phones, laptops and tablets if you need a replacement.

What payment methods do you accept?

We accept cash, Visa, Mastercard, debit, and e-Transfer. Payment is due on pickup after the repair is completed and tested.
