Repair Risks

Electronic repairs are unpredictable. Your device may be beyond repair or may be permanently damaged during repair and rendered useless. Circuit board components deteriorate over time and can fail without warning especially on liquid damage devices where components can short circuit, oxidize, corrode and rust over time.
Repairs on devices with glued-on screens such as iPads involve prying the screen to access internal components. Screens are very delicate and can crack or break during the prying process. We are highly experienced and the risk of screen breaking is minimal, but glass can break and risks do exist.
Touch id / Face id on apple devices may fail during repair and deemed unusable. Although this is not common, it can happen depending on the device condition.
Integrated GPU on laptops and AIO computers can fail without warning especially on older devices such as 2011 Macbooks/iMacs. HP, Dell, Toshiba, and other devices with known GPU problems of any year make and model.

Estimates
While we try to be as thorough as possible with all estimates, we do not guarantee that our estimate is all-inclusive and final. Often, it is very difficult or impossible to identify every problem affecting a device until some work is performed. Our estimates may evolve or change during the course of servicing your device. If our technicians need to update the estimate, we will let you know as soon as possible we continue the service. All changes MUST be approved by you before we move on with any work. Our initial estimate will always remain valid within the scope of the services it was originally attached to, though we may advise you that the original service may have become unnecessary or unlikely to resolve the issue.
Limited Shop Warranty
We offer a 60 day warranty on all repairs. If for any reason an issue from the original work order recurs within 60 days, we will perform the service again at no extra charge. All parts used to service your device is also guaranteed for 60 days from the date of the service. The guarantee does not cover issues that may develop within the guarantee period that are not related to services performed or to the original issue or symptom diagnosed and repaired.

- Any service using parts not purchased through Lewis IT

- New symptoms/issues not directly tied to the original service within the 60 day guarantee period
- Installing new hardware or modifying existing hardware in the 60 day guarantee period voids the Lewis IT Limited Shop Warranty

Estimate and Repair Time

We pride ourselves on the speed of our repairs, however many of the factors that determine the length of your repair are beyond our control.

Many of our repairs are typically completed in 24-72 hours, however we offer no guarantees of how long the service will take. Any references to service times on our website or in promotional materials are our best estimates based on previous experience and are not meant to represent an exact time frame or offer any guarantees of service time.

Replacement Parts Procedure

If a service requires parts to complete, we will contact and inform you of the need prior to ordering any parts. We will explain the part needed, why it’s necessary, any associated costs, and give an estimate of when the part will likely arrive. Due to shipping times being beyond our control, our estimate is a best guess and is not intended to guarantee arrival by a specific time. If you would like to hold on to your device until parts come in, a non-refundable deposit of 50% of the cost of the ordered parts will be required. Lewis IT will generally not use parts not purchased by Lewis IT. This is due to our inability to verify that the parts are functional and will provide a good fit for your device.
