The deductible must be paid before you repair your device or receive your replacement equipment and is non-refundable. All pricing and fees are subject to applicable taxes.

Repair option availability is determined by device make and model, type of damage and/or failure, and location of repair centre. If a repair option is available, it will be presented to you at time of claim.

Questions About Device Repair

You will need to disable the application before sending the device for mail-in repair. Follow these steps:

For Damaged, but Still Working, Devices

  2. Click on "Find My and swipe the green bar from right to left to deactivate it
  3. Enter your Apple ID password and click "Turn Off"

  6. Go back to the top center of the screen where your device name is now displayed, and click on the name
  7. Click the "X" next to the name of the device in the drop down to remove the device from your account

What determines if repair is available?

Location of repair centre, device make / model, type of damage, and repair or replacement part availability can influence the choices of replacement vs. repair. For example, brand new models may not be available for repair right away, and certain types of damage such as liquid damage are not eligible for repair, therefore a replacement will be provided.

Can I go to any phone repair location?

To ensure quality, all repairs must be completed through one of Likewize’s authorized centres. When you complete your claim you will be presented with repair centres in your area. Once you select a repair centre, you can visit any of their locations with a valid claim and have your repair completed.

What if there’s not a repair location near me, but I don’t want to replace my device?

Don’t worry, we have repair partners who accept devices via mail. We will send you a prepaid label, all you need to do is package your device and drop it in a Canada Post mail box. It will be repaired and returned to you within 3-5 business days.

Why is Walk in Repair not being offered and the only option is Mail in Repair?

There is currently a reduced amount of Walk in Repair locations in Saskatchewan due to changes in ownership of some vendors, some closed locations, and certain specialized repairs that require additional certifications (Samsung Flip/Fold). Likewize is working with the Repair Vendors to ensure they get this resolved as soon as possible.  The availability of the Walk in Repair locations will vary throughout the year and will depend on the parts available at the time of claim.

Why do I have to mail my device out of province for a Mail in Repair?

The Mail in Repair centre is the same vendor that SaskTel uses for warranty repairs and is a trusted source.  It will be repaired and returned to you within 3-5 business days.

What happens if the repair provider cannot fix my device?

If your phone is unrepairable we will send you a replacement. Please note that if the device is unrepairable and you choose to have it replaced, you will be required to pay the difference between the Repair Deductible/Processing Fee and Replacement Deductible/Processing Fee before we can order a replacement for you.

What happens if I have an issue with my device after repair?

All repair work is guaranteed for 12 months by our authorized repair centres. Simply call Likewize at 877-412-5186, to file your repair warranty claim.

What happens if I have an issue with my device after replacement?
