<p><span class="minor2 small gray">Apple’s Get Support webpage shows a new option for on-site repairs.</span></div>
<p>While repairs are not conducted by Apple itself, the new service option is a convenient and presumably expedient alternative to visiting an Apple Store or shipping a damaged device to a repair center. </p>
<p>Apple offers on-site repairs to enterprise customers, but until now has restricted consumer service to physical stores and mail-in service. Unlike its small business offerings, the consumer version appears limited to <a href="https://appleinsider.com/topic/iphone">iPhone</a> and is currently unavailable to owners of <a href="https://appleinsider.com/inside/apple-watch">Apple Watch</a>, <a href="https://appleinsider.com/topic/ipad">iPad</a>, <a href="https://appleinsider.com/topic/mac">Mac</a>, <a href="https://appleinsider.com/inside/apple-tv">Apple TV</a> and <a href="https://appleinsider.com/inside/homepod">HomePod</a>. </p>
<p>The new feature can be accessed through Apple’s <a href="https://getsupport.apple.com/">Get Support</a> webpage under “Schedule a Repair.” Depending on the problem and location, Go Tech Services is listed as a viable alternative to Apple Stores and Authorized Service Providers. Clicking through sends users to Go Tech Services’ website, where they can schedule a meet time. </p>
<p>It is unclear if on-site service warrants an additional fee, as pricing information is not available on Apple or Go Tech Services websites. </p>
<p>As noted by <em>MacRumors</em>, which spotted the option <a href="https://www.macrumors.com/2020/01/31/apple-support-onsite-repairs-go-tech/">earlier today</a>, Go Tech Services on-site repairs are accessible in Chicago, Dallas, Houston, Los Angeles, New York, San Francisco. Other areas might be covered, as Apple does not furnish a complete availability list. Whether the company intends to roll out the service nationwide is unknown. </p>
<p>It appears Go Tech Services is equipped to handle a limited range of repairs that at this point starts and ends with cracked front screens impacting recent generation iPhones. Other devices are not noted as eligible for on-site service on Apple’s website, nor does the service selection process show on-site repair availability for other issues like water damage, cracked rear glass, malfunctioning buttons or battery replacement. </p>
