Armory Maintenance and Repair Protocol
Step 1. Place your equipment in the locker labeled "Armory In". Make sure it has a label with your name and phone number attached. You can print the label using the little Bluetooth printer located on top of the armory locker.
Step 2. Our team will diagnose your equipment and identify any issues. You will receive an email no later than the next day confirming that your equipment has been received, along with:
A description of the problem
The recommended repair type
Price (please note that from now on, the prices will be standard and will not change)
Step 3. Repairs begin the next day after your equipment is received. Standard repairs are typically completed within 48 hours.
Step 4. You will receive a follow-up email when your equipment is ready for pickup. The message will confirm that the repair is complete.
Step 5. Repaired items will be placed in the “Armory Out” closet.
Step 6. You will receive an invoice from Sofia Iva once the repair is finalized.
