Drone Repair FAQs

How long does drone repair take?

The repair time depends on the type of damage and parts availability. Minor issues such as motor replacement, propeller arm repair, or camera calibration can often be completed within 1 to 3 business days.

More complex problems like motherboard damage, gimbal failure, or water damage may take longer, especially if special parts need to be ordered. After diagnosing your drone, we provide a clear time estimate before starting the repair.

Do you offer same-day drone repair services?

Same-day drone repair is possible for certain minor issues, depending on our current workload and parts in stock.

Quick fixes like propeller arm replacement, landing gear repair, or basic electrical issues can sometimes be completed the same day.

However, advanced repairs involving internal board work, gimbal systems, or flight controller issues usually require more time for proper testing and safety checks.

Is drone repair worth it, or should I replace my drone?

In many cases, drone repair is much more cost-effective than buying a new unit. If the damage is limited to components like motors, arms, gimbal assemblies, or batteries, repair is usually worth it.

We always assess the total repair cost versus the current value of your drone and give you honest advice. If the repair cost is too close to the price of a replacement, we will tell you upfront so you can make an informed decision.

Do you repair crash-damaged drones?

Yes, we frequently repair drones that have been damaged in crashes. Common crash-related issues include broken arms, motor damage, camera and gimbal misalignment, and internal wiring problems.

We perform a full inspection to check for hidden damage such as frame stress or internal board issues, not just the visible cracks or broken parts.

Do your drone repairs include a warranty?

Yes, our drone repairs include a limited warranty on the parts we replace and the labor performed. Warranty coverage depends on the type of repair and components involved.

It does not cover new physical damage, water exposure after repair, or crashes following service. We explain the specific warranty terms clearly when you pick up your drone.

What drone brands do you repair?

We repair most major consumer and prosumer drone brands, including DJI, Autel, Parrot, and other popular models.

If you are unsure whether your specific drone can be repaired, you can contact us with the model name and a brief description of the issue, and we will confirm compatibility.

Can you fix drones that won’t power on?

Yes. Drones that do not power on often have issues related to the battery, power distribution board, or internal circuitry.

We perform electrical diagnostics to identify whether the problem is with the battery system, charging port, main board, or internal connectors, and then recommend the best repair solution.

Do you repair drone cameras and gimbals?

Absolutely. Camera and gimbal problems are among the most common drone issues.

We repair or replace damaged gimbals, fix shaking or tilted camera problems, and address calibration errors. Proper gimbal repair is important because even small alignment issues can affect video stability and flight performance.

Can water-damaged drones be repaired?

Water damage repair is sometimes possible, depending on how quickly the drone was powered off and how severe the exposure was. We open the drone, clean internal components, and check for corrosion or short circuits.

While not all water-damaged drones can be fully restored, early inspection improves the chances of successful repair.

Will repairing my drone affect its flight performance?

When repaired correctly and calibrated after service, your drone should fly normally.

After completing repairs, we test flight stability, sensor calibration, and camera performance to make sure everything is functioning as expected before returning the drone to you.

Do I need to book an appointment for drone repair?

Appointments are recommended but not always required.

Booking in advance helps us prepare for your specific drone model and issue, which can speed up diagnosis and repair time. Walk-ins are welcome based on availability.
