How the Process Works
-
Book Your Service: Purchase this $48 Diagnostic/Bench Fee to secure your spot on the bench.

Schedule a Drop-off: Once your order is placed, we will contact you via text or email to coordinate a meet-up or drop-off in the Chula Vista / South Bay area.

The Inspection: We perform a comprehensive multi-point diagnostic, checking your AIO/Stacks, motor health, VTX signal, and solder integrity.

The South Bay Guarantee
With over 14 years of experience in high-precision optics and electronics, we don't just "fix" drones—we optimize them. Expect clean wire management, solid solder joints, and "optician-level" attention to detail.
IMPORTANT: This service is for Local San Diego County customers only. We do not currently accept shipped repairs. The $60 Bench Fee is required to begin work and will be applied toward your final labor total.
NOTE: Final pricing depends on the repair needed after assessment.
