Changes at "Repair Cafe Fixit Clinic"

Bring items from home that are broken, torn or not quite working correctly. Our Fixit Coaches and Volunteers will try to get them up and running. Check-in at the Welcome Table to begin your visit.

Registration is not required, but will be used to send reminders and updates. Please include an email address.

What is a Fixit Clinic? It's an opportunity for neighbors to help neighbors and teach skills for living all while keeping items out of the landfills and pushing against throwaway culture.

Volunteers will help with repairs for:

Bike maintenance

Blade and knife sharpening

Computer diagnostics and updates

Electronics and small appliances

Furniture

Jacket zipper replacement and outerwear patches courtesy of Patagonia Old Town

Lock Opening

Mending cloth items

Visible mending on knit items

Watches and clocks

Yarn detangling

PLUS there will be a Kids' Take-It-Apart Table (all ages) for curious minds and future fixers to try out tools and see what's inside some everyday items.

Before heading to a Fixit Station, first check-in at the Welcome Table to sign the Liability Waiver and pick up your repair card. We will have limited parts for repairs available. If you know the part your item needs, please bring it with you.

Fixit Clinic Rules

Check in at the Welcome Table to sign the Liability Waiver and get instructions on where to go.

There is a limit of two items for repair per visitor. *More items may be considered as space and time allows.

A Fixit Clinic is not a drop-off service. Remain with your item(s) at all times.

Repair coaches are not liable for damages or unrepaired items brought in. This is a free, community-focused service, not a for-profit event.

When you are with your repair coach, you can choose to: a) watch as the repair is attempted, b) work with the repair coach or c) attempt the repair yourself under the guidance of a repair coach.
