"Never take broken for an answer" Following the Ifixit motto, the Repair Café Volunteers will do their best to bring your beloved items back to life... with your help!
So, what is this all about?
Repair Café's are free meeting spaces where people fix things together. Besides the obvious money saving, RC's help keep stuff out of the landfill, promote connection and collaboration, skill-sharing and community self-reliance.
So give it a try! Find that broken item you never brought yourself to throw away (remember, there is no "away"!) and sign up for a slot that matches the type or repair you need. Once at the Repair Café, you will work together with our volunteers to repair your items.
These are our repair categories. Please sign up for ONE SINGLE SLOT per event. Additional slots will be deleted.
At some of our events, you will find additional repair categories. Check the actual sign-up to see what is available.
Spare parts: Bring them if you know them!
