SD Fixit Clinics

Check out all our SD Fixit Clinics hosted throughout the County of San Diego

We've become too accustomed to the throw-away lifestyle. If something breaks, we toss it out and buy a new one. This behavior is filling our landfills at an alarming rate, and electronic waste is now one of the biggest sources of pollution. So why not learn how to fix things instead?!Bring your broken, non-working items—electronics, appliances, computers, toys, bicycles, clothes, and more—for assessment, disassembly, and possible repair. We'll provide workspace, specialty tools, and guidance to help you take apart and troubleshoot your item. Even if we can't fix it, you'll learn more about how it was made and how it works.This is a fun event for the whole family, so bring your kids! We are expanding rapidly and will be hosting events all over San Diego County. Click the link below for more information.We hope to see you there!FAQsIs this event located in the same location each month?Since the COVID pandemic, we have put a pause on our in-person clinics but are starting to come back slowly. We love to give more opportunities to the San Diego County community, so we have decided to move the SD Fixit Clinic to different locations in the County each month.

What should I do?I﻿f you don't know if you will attend, please cancel your registration at least 3 days before the event to allow additional people to reserve a spot. Or simply email us at sdfixitclinic@gmail.com and let us know.**Too many no-shows attached to your email will result in no more allowances to pre-register, and you must attend as a walk-in.**Please note: no-shows can cause a severe issue when planning future programs regarding venues, volunteers, and location. We know this is a free event, but please give us the common courtesy and let us know if you cannot attend.Does this cost money?This event is free to attend, but it is not a drop-off and fix event. Instead, it is a hands-on event where participants can learn how to repair their items with the help of our expert coaches. What if my item needs a replacement part?As this is a free event, we do not provide replacement parts. You will be responsible for any costs incurred if your item requires additional or replacement parts. We may have some spare parts on hand, but it is the attendee's responsibility to purchase and bring the necessary parts on the day of the event.In other words, this is a free event, so you are responsible for your equipment and any repairs that may be needed. We may have spare parts, but you must bring them if required.Will you accept walk-ins?We will accept walk-ins if there is time, but it depends on how quickly we can repair the items of the registered attendees.Do you take donations of tools and supplies?Oh boy, do we. If you have any old tools you don’t need, please bring them to the next SD Fixit Clinic and/or email us at sdfixitclinic@gmail.com to arrange drop-off locations.
