We’re ready for your questions.

We’ve been doing this a while, here are the most common questions

Are you sure you can fix it?

Yes. We’ve had tens of thousands of broken iPhones, iPads, and Samsung phones brought into Gophermods since 2009. I would guess 98% of the devices brought into our stores are repaired. We’ve seen so many devices you don’t have to worry if we haven’t seen it before.

How fast can you repair it?

On average, most tablet repairs are finished within one to two business days from drop-off at any one of our stores. Unless it is an iPad, we typically have to special order the part, which can add a few extra days to the repair.

Do you have any guarantees?

Pretty simple, we break it we bought it. If our parts fail within one year, bring it back, and we’ll fix it again under warranty. We’ve been doing this almost ten years, and have hundreds of positive feedback and reviews. You’d think if we sucked, someone would have had said something by now right?

What if you can't fix it?

In the rare event we cannot fix your device, there may be a $19 to $29 diagnostic fee.
