Our story

Built by technicians. Run by obsession.

FixLab started in 2016 with one bench, two techs, and a promise: fix it right, or don't fix it at all. A decade later, that promise still drives every repair.

The beginning

A workbench in a garage.

Our founder, Marcus Chen, started FixLab after a decade repairing phones at an authorized service center. He saw the same problem everywhere: customers were being charged premium prices for rushed work and mystery parts.

So he built the shop he wished existed. Transparent pricing. OEM-grade parts. A clean-room lab open for customers to see. And a simple rule - if we can't fix it, you don't pay.

Ten years on, we've repaired over 15,000 devices and trained a team of twelve certified technicians. The workbench is bigger. The promise hasn't changed.
