We photograph the device, record the serial, collect your signature, and take the $49 by tap-to-pay.

At a camera-monitored lot, a coffee shop, or a police safe-exchange zone on the west side of Sioux Falls. We confirm the exact spot by text.

A flat rate covers the named job. If diagnosis finds different work or a part, the estimate changes.

Work pauses until you approve any change to the work or price in writing.

It covers power-supply, storage, thermal, and software jobs. Board-level and liquid-damage work keeps the credited $49.
