For hardware repairs (like screen or battery replacements), your data remains untouched. However, we always strongly recommend performing a full backup of your device before handing it over, just as a standard precaution.
Most standard procedures, such as battery or screen replacements for iPhones and Samsung devices, are completed within 1 to 2 hours of drop-off. Complex micro-soldering, logic board repairs, or water damage recovery can take between 24 to 72 hours depending on the severity of the damage.
