1. The standard 90-day warranty
- Every paid repair is backed by a 90-day written warranty on parts and workmanship.
- The warranty starts on the date of pickup, printed on the invoice and recorded against the device serial number.
- The warranty travels with the device, not the customer - see the transfer rules below.
- Claim turnaround averages 24 hours from drop-off.
2. What is covered
- Part failure: the replacement part fails within 90 days through no fault of the user.
- Workmanship defects: the repair was not completed correctly - for example, a loose connector, an unbalanced trackpad, or backlight bleed on a freshly fitted screen.
- Same-fault recurrence: the original symptom returns within 90 days. The repair is redone free of charge by the original technician where possible.
- Cosmetic adhesion: if a screen or back glass lifts at the edges within 30 days, it is re-bonded free.
3. What is NOT covered
- New physical damage after pickup - drops, cracks, dents, bent chassis.
- New liquid damage - coffee spills, swimming-pool exposure, rain.
- Tampering by a third party - if another shop or individual has opened the device after pickup, the warranty is void on the affected components.
- Software issues unrelated to the repair - macOS or iOS bugs, third-party app crashes, malware, jailbreaks.
- Battery wear below 80% capacity through normal use after 6 months on a battery replacement (see service-specific warranty below).
- Missing or altered serial number on the device or invoice.
- Repairs marked "no warranty" in writing on the WhatsApp quote - typically logic boards with prior corrosion damage and one-shot data recovery jobs.
4. Extended warranty
- Battery+ option: a 6-month warranty on MacBook and iPhone batteries is included automatically - no extra fee.
- Logic board peace-of-mind: for an additional AED 150 on the original repair, the 90-day board warranty extends to 6 months. Offered only on first-time board repairs.
- No extended warranty is sold separately after the original repair - the offer must be accepted at the time of the WhatsApp quote.
5. How to claim warranty
- Send a WhatsApp message to 055 741 3706 within 90 days of the original pickup date. Include the device serial number, a description of the new symptom, and a photo or short video if relevant.
- A technician confirms within 4 business hours whether the symptom is in scope.
- Drop the device at Office #45, 10th Floor, Concord Tower, Al Sufouh, Dubai Media City, or use the free pickup service.
- Bring the original invoice or quote the invoice number - the workshop also keeps a copy linked to the serial number.
- Inspection is free. If the symptom is in scope, the repair is redone free, usually within 24 hours.
- If the symptom is out of scope, a quote for the new fault is sent on WhatsApp before any work begins.
