Walk-in repairs in Iowa City are unpredictable: a screen swap takes 40 minutes, and the customer who "just wanted an estimate" has been waiting behind two others. SWIQ books repair slots with a short intake note (device, symptom), so parts and tools are ready before the phone hits the counter. Complex jobs — water damage, data recovery — get diagnostic slots with honest timeframes, collection windows end the "is it done?" calls, and corporate bulk repairs schedule instead of arriving as a bag of twelve phones. Locally, 127 Iowa City businesses are listed in the SWIQ directory with ratings and hours — yours can join them free.
