Yes, for all our repairs we only use manufacturer-supplied parts – Apple, Samsung, Huawei, Motorola, Alcatel, etc.

We charge an assessment fee when the device, fault, or requested service is not covered under your manufacturer warranty.

Insurance Assessment Fee

For Mac/IT products (laptops), the fee to provide an insurance assessment is $90.00 incl GST, for other devices that don't fall under Mac/IT products, the fee to provide an insurance assessment is $50.00 incl GST.

In some cases, this fee is covered by your insurer depending on your insurer and your policy, please contact your insurer to find out who is liable for this fee.

Who do I pay the excess fee to?

With all insurance claims, the customer is required to pay an excess fee (amount is dependent on your policy), in some cases Insurance companies prefer Fonefix to collect the excess amount, in other cases you pay your insurer directly.

This will be confirmed by your insurer at the time of approval.

As an authorised service provider, we have certified technicians that use only genuine manufacturer-supplied parts and approved repair methods and tools.

This translates to higher repair costs due to superior workmanship and parts used.

In many cases, Fonefix tends to fix issues caused by devices being repaired by an uncertified repair shop.
