Repair shop device intake checklist — before you open the device

A solid repair shop device intake checklist protects the quote, the tech, and the relationship. Capture identity, customer authorization, cosmetics, function, and lock/account status before you open the device — so “it was already like that” has a record.

Questions, answered

Frequently asked questions

Should every repair get a full function block?

Yes when the ticket involves unknown prior damage or the customer disputes condition. High-volume shops may abbreviate for obvious screen-only jobs — but document what you skipped.

Does Check Up replace a paper intake form?

It covers diagnostics, grading, and PDF documentation. Keep whatever authorization paperwork your jurisdiction requires.

Is wipe part of intake?

Usually wipe is post-job or on customer request. Check Up supports secured data erasure for clean handoff.

Can multiple techs share intake?

Yes on Free — multiple stations in one workspace; Free limits apply workspace-wide. Premium adds users & roles when you need separate logins and permissions.

How do I start?

Run this checklist once, then Start Free to map function blocks to Instant + Mobile App Diagnostics.
