SCOUT IT

• Apple authorized repairs performed only by Apple-certified technicians.
• Use of Apple genuine parts ordered directly from Apple.
• Ability to perform warranty repairs on Mac and iOS devices at no cost to you when covered by Apple's warranty (Limited Warranty or AppleCare).
• Support for both business and individual customers; business customers can also arrange on-site support.

Devices and scope

• Mac computers: full Apple-authorized diagnostics and repair.
• Other Apple devices (iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch and accessories): SCOUT IT currently has limited capacity for these repairs.

Exact eligibility for specific devices and repair types depends on Apple's current warranty terms and SCOUT IT's capacity at the time of request.

Appointments and walk-ins

• For Apple Authorized repairs, SCOUT IT prefers that you have an appointment.
• Walk-ins are accepted but may depend on capacity at the time you arrive.
• You can start by completing the Contact Us form on the SCOUT IT website or by using Apple's appointment system at locate.apple.com to schedule with SCOUT IT.

Diagnostic fees and warranty coverage

• Devices not covered by Apple's warranty (Limited Warranty or AppleCare) are subject to a $99 diagnostic fee.
• The $99 diagnostic fee is waived if the device is repaired by SCOUT IT.
• Some issues, such as software problems or accidental damage, are not covered by AppleCare or may carry a separate deductible; Apple determines what is and is not covered under its warranty.

For details about Apple's warranty coverage, customers should refer directly to Apple's official Warranty information pages.
