We see hundreds of consoles every month so what may seem like a strange error to you, we've likely seen numerous times before. We will assess your Switch and give you the most likely cause of the symptoms you are experiencing. With that comes a no obligation quote of what your final repair bill should look like.
FLAT RATE DIAGNOSTICS
We charge a non-refundable $45 diagnostic fee for all Switch repairs upon check-in. This fee covers the cost of shop materials/replacement parts/time that goes into every repair attempt. If your Switch is deemed unrepairable, this deposit is all you pay. If successful, the diagnostic fee is applied towards your final bill. Don't worry mail-ins, you are exempt from this fee as we know you've already had to invest in freight costs to get your console to us!
