Estimates & authorization

Assessment fees, proposed work and approval for additional costs.

Updated November 13, 2026

Assessment first

An accurate repair estimate may require assessment. Before an assessment begins, ask what it includes, whether a fee applies and how findings will be communicated. The pricing page provides starting estimates for assessment or stated labor. The written quote confirms the final scope and charges.

Review the estimate

A proposed repair should identify the device, the intended work, the parts or software involved, and the disclosed charges. Ask whether taxes, parts, assessment fees or other charges are included in the estimate.

Authorize the work

Only authorize work after the scope and costs are clear. Sending an email, preparing a contact draft or asking a question does not by itself authorize a repair or a payment.

Changes and added work

If findings change the proposed scope, review the revised work and costs before approving it. Additional parts or labor should not be treated as automatically authorized by the original enquiry.

Repairability and decisions

Assessment may show that repair is unsuitable, parts are unavailable or the condition of the device limits the likely result. Discuss the available next steps and any agreed assessment fee before deciding how to proceed.
