This is one of the questions we receive most frequently. In reality, the cost depends on many factors, such as the type of device, the nature of the damage, the severity of the issue, and the amount of work required to complete the data recovery. All of these elements can affect the final price.
Most failures are caused by physical or logical issues, making it impossible to provide an accurate quote without a detailed diagnosis. By using our free door-to-door pickup and free diagnostic services, we can evaluate the condition of your device and provide a correct, fixed price that will not change. Of course, customers may choose to decline the service after the free diagnostic—no obligation required!
