All repairs are assessed first, then quoted before any work begins. Adding images to your intake form is necessary.
If something doesn’t make sense to repair, you’ll be told directly.

CLEANLINESS REQUIREMENT

Gear should arrive completely clean.
Heavily soiled items will require a cleaning fee of $45. Dirty items can severely damage sewing equipment.
TURNAROUND TIME

Turnaround varies depending on workload and repair complexity.
If timing is critical, mention it during intake and it will be evaluated on a case-by-case basis.

Let’s Work Together
Repairs are approached with the goal of extending the usable life of gear as far as possible, not replacing it unnecessarily.
Every repair is evaluated for durability, function, and long-term use in the field.
