Which repair setup fits your district?

Start with how you'd like repairs to work. We'll fit it to however your district buys.

Fixed Cost

One predictable cost per device.

Your fleet size stays exactly the same. Every unit gets fixed or replaced.

  • Often a lot better than an OEM warranty: cheaper, faster, and with fewer limitations.
  • Covered through insurance. We work with several insurance companies.
  • We'll send you a quote finder to see if a plan fits.

Best when you want to budget once and stop approving repairs one by one.

A La Carte

Pay only for what breaks.

Deal with what needs dealing with, as you go.

  • Free estimates on every repair.
  • We help you make the right call on what to fix, hold or retire.
  • Set cost limits by model ("don't fix this model over $X").
  • We make suggestions. You make the final decisions.

We'd love to sit down and help you work through the numbers.

How most districts do it

Most districts end up with a mix.

It rarely has to be one or the other. A district might cover its newer, higher-value devices with Fixed Cost, switch older models to A La Carte as they reach the point of deciding whether they're still worth fixing, and have its own team handle simple repairs. Every district's mix is different, and the easiest way to find yours is a short call.

Fixed Cost A La Carte In-house
  • Fixed Cost for newer, higher-value devices: one cost, every unit fixed or replaced.
  • A La Carte as devices age: when it's time to decide if a model is too old to fix, we help you make that call.
  • In-house for simple repairs your own team can handle.

An example, not a formula.
