Store policies

Our policies, clearly explained

We want you to know exactly what to expect before you leave your device with us. Everything is written here in plain language: what the warranty covers, what it does not, how the diagnostic works, how deposits and returns are handled, and the terms you sign when you drop off your device. If anything is unclear, ask us at our location or call us. We prefer to clarify it in advance.

Warranties

Warranties

We stand behind the parts we install and the work we do. The warranty for each service is printed on your invoice, runs from the day you pick up your device and covers the same fault only. If that fault comes back, we repair it at no cost.

  • Repairs: 60 daysBattery, charging port, cameras, speakers and almost every other repair on phones, tablets, laptops and consoles.
  • Premium, Refurbished or Original screen: 60 daysOn phones and tablets.
  • Economy screen: 30 daysThe most affordable option carries a shorter warranty.
  • Trade In screen: no warrantyThis service carries no warranty. We tell you before you choose it.
  • Protection Pro (screen protection): lifetimeOn that same device, Standard or Privacy. Each replacement is charged at 50% of the current price.
  • A part you bring: 30 days on labor onlyThe part itself is not covered. Details below, under your own part.
  • Refurbished phones we sell: 30 daysCovers device failures, not new damage. Not to be confused with the Refurbished screen, which is a part grade and carries 60 days.

To make a claim, bring your invoice (or give us your name and phone number and we will look it up).

What the warranty does not cover

What the warranty does not cover

The warranty covers the same fault we repaired. It does not cover new damage that occurs after the device has been returned to you. Specifically:

  • New physical damageDrops, knocks or any impact after the repair.
  • Liquid contactAny exposure to liquid after we hand the device back.
  • Device opened elsewhereIf another person or shop opened or worked on it after us.
  • Broken warranty sealIf the seal is broken or removed we cannot validate the warranty.
  • MisuseDamage from improper use of the device or the part.
  • A different faultA fault other than the one we repaired is not covered by that warranty.
Pressure points on the screen

Pressure points on the screen

This is the point that causes the most confusion, so we explain it in detail. We recommend reading it carefully.

Modern screens (LCD and OLED) are ultra-thin layers stacked on top of each other. When they take constant pressure or a single hard compression, even if the glass never cracks and everything looks perfect from the outside, those layers get damaged inside. A drop is not required.

How it occurs, usually unnoticed

  • Sitting down with the phone in your back pocket.
  • Carrying it in a tight pocket, or in a bag next to your keys.
  • Pressing hard on the screen with a finger or a fingernail.
  • A hard object pushing against a corner inside your bag or backpack.
  • A poorly fitted case putting constant pressure on one corner.

What it looks like

White, black or colored blotches that appear without apparent cause; vertical or horizontal lines; or areas where the touch stops responding. It usually starts small and grows over the following days.

Why the warranty does not cover it

Because it is not a manufacturing defect in the part we installed: it is damage caused by outside pressure after the installation. The screen was delivered tested and working, and the damage occurred afterwards. It is the same reason a factory-new screen would not cover it either.

How to avoid it

Do not keep your phone in your back pocket. Use a case with a raised lip around the screen. Avoid putting it in bags where something can press against it. And if you notice a small blotch that keeps growing, visit us promptly: the earlier you do, the more options are available.

Before we repair

Before we repair

Diagnostic

Diagnostics are free on any device that powers on. If your device will not turn on (no power), the diagnostic has a fee that is fully credited toward your repair.

In other words: if you decide to repair it with us, the diagnostic costs you nothing extra. If you decide not to repair it, that fee is not refunded.

Quote and approval

We give you the price before we start, with IVU included, and we do not touch your device until you approve it. If something turns up once it is open that changes the cost, we check and call you before going any further. No surprises.

Device check and passcode

When you drop off your device you authorize a basic check using the passcode you give us, when needed: power, charging, audio and general peripheral function. We use it only to diagnose and verify the repair.

Data backup

Before you leave your device with us, back up your information: photos, contacts, messages and files. Many repairs require wiping or reinstalling the system, and some devices arrive with the storage already affected. We are not responsible for data loss.

Not sure how to back up your data? Ask us before dropping off the device and we will guide you. A one-minute conversation can prevent a significant inconvenience.

Face ID, Touch ID and Apple parts

Severe damage or cracked glass can affect Face ID or Touch ID parts during the repair.

On Apple devices, replacing certain parts can make the system show messages about part identification or serialization. That does not necessarily indicate a malfunction.

Before you authorize your repair

Before you authorize your repair

Two matters we prefer to explain before you authorize the repair. Both have the same purpose: that you make the decision with all the information available.

Deposits and returns

Deposits and returns

Deposit for special-order parts

When your repair needs a part we do not keep in stock, we order it specifically for your device. In those cases we ask for a deposit of 50% of the repair cost, plus shipping. That deposit is not refundable.

The reason is simple: the part is ordered for your model based on the initial diagnostic. That is why the deposit is not returned, even if other faults turn up during the repair or the device needs other services. We always tell you before charging it that it is a special-order part and that the deposit is non-refundable.

The deposit is credited to your final invoice. IVU is charged when the repair is completed.

When the part arrives we let you know so we can set up the repair. If 20 days pass after that notice, the part may be returned to the supplier or put up for sale, and the deposit is forfeited.

Refunds on repairs

Completed repairs are not refunded in money.

The warranty is honored by repairing the covered work at no cost. Any exception is at the discretion of Fix On Wheels and is issued as store credit.

Returns on accessories and refurbished phones

We accept returns on accessories and refurbished phones within 30 days, with your receipt. The item must be in resalable condition, with its parts and packaging.

We do not refund cash; we issue store credit.

You can use that credit on any accessory, device or repair with us, with no immediate expiration date.

Temporary parts

If we fit a part temporarily, to diagnose the device or so you can use it in the meantime, it is your responsibility to care for it: any damage while it is in your custody is your responsibility.

Receipt and unclaimed devices

When you drop off your device we give you a receipt showing the warranty for each service. Keep it: you need it to pick up your device. At pickup you sign that the repair works as agreed and that we returned the accessories you left with us.

When your device is ready we notify you by phone, text or email. If 90 days pass from that notice and the device is still here unclaimed, it is considered abandoned and we may dispose of it.

We prefer to avoid that situation. If you need more time, call us and we will make arrangements: one message is enough for us to hold it for you.

Terms and conditions

Repair terms and conditions

This is the text you sign when you drop off your device. It is printed on all our receipts, above your signature.

1. Diagnostic and repair

Diagnostics are free on any device that powers on. If the device does not power on, the diagnostic has a fee that is fully credited toward the repair if the repair is authorized. If the customer decides not to repair, that fee is non-refundable. FixOnWheels is not responsible for repairs or work previously performed by third parties.

2. Device inspection

By handing over the device, the customer authorizes a basic inspection using the passcode provided, when necessary. It may include power, charging, audio and general peripheral function, solely for diagnostic and verification purposes.

3. Data and pre-existing damage

The customer is responsible for backing up and protecting their information before handing over the device. FixOnWheels is not responsible for data loss. Devices with impacts, breaks, moisture, bends or prior damage may show additional faults during or after the repair due to pre-existing conditions.

4. Face ID, Touch ID and Apple parts

Severe damage or broken glass may affect components related to Face ID or Touch ID during the repair process. On Apple devices, replacing certain components may trigger system messages related to part identification or serialization, without this necessarily affecting how the device works.

5. Special orders

Special orders require a deposit of 50% of the repair cost, plus applicable shipping. Parts are ordered specifically for the device based on the initial diagnostic; for this reason the deposit is non-refundable, even if additional faults are identified during the repair or the device requires other services. The deposit is credited to the final invoice. When the part arrives, the customer will be notified to schedule the repair. 20 days after being notified, the part may be returned to the supplier or put up for sale, and the deposit is forfeited.

6. Temporary parts

Any part installed temporarily for diagnostic or provisional use must be cared for by the customer. Any damage caused while it is in the customer's custody is the customer's responsibility.

7. Customer-supplied parts

When the customer supplies the part, the service is paid in full when the device is received. FixOnWheels does not guarantee the quality, origin or compatibility of customer-supplied parts; the 30-day warranty covers the installation labor only. If the part turns out to be defective or incompatible, the service charge applies. System messages related to non-genuine parts may appear (for example Face ID, True Tone, battery or screen).

8. Refunds

The warranty is honored by repairing the covered work at no cost. Completed repairs are not refunded in money. Any exception is at the discretion of FixOnWheels and is issued as store credit. Accessories and refurbished phones may be returned within 30 days, with the receipt and in resalable condition, for store credit. Special-order deposits are governed by section 5.

9. Warranty

The warranty for each service is the one printed on the invoice. It runs from the day the device is picked up and covers the same fault only. The warranty is void if the device is opened by someone else, if the warranty seal is broken or removed, or if it shows physical, liquid or misuse damage.

10. Unclaimed devices

When the device is ready, the customer will be notified. If 90 days pass from that notice without the device being claimed, it will be considered abandoned and FixOnWheels may dispose of it.

Acceptance

By signing this receipt, the customer confirms they were informed about the requested service, the applicable risks and these terms and conditions, and authorizes FixOnWheels to perform the agreed diagnostic or repair.
