See website for Zoom Fixit Clinic Times

Fixit Clinic is a peer-to-peer activity staffed by volunteer Fixit Coaches who offer you suggestions on how you can repair your item. The in-person and virtual clinics are not a hands-off free repair service; it's instruction to DIY. Find upcoming SF Bay Area Fixit Clinics here. (Select the pull down menu under "Which Fixit Clinic are you attending?" Print a flyer to post for folks to find upcoming events here.

Register items for upcoming in-person Fixit Clinics at https://bit.ly/itemcheckin. Or, register items for the always-on Global Fixers Server or upcoming Intergalactic Zoom Fixit Clinics at https://bit.ly/fixitcheckin

Sign up to observe fixing (sign up form) and volunteer to be a fixer (interest form).
