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.

You will be responsible for any costs incurred if your item requires additional or replacement parts.

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.
