Join us for our monthly Repair Cafe with Mister Fix This and Jon's Repairs!
The Reboot Eco Repair Café is a free community event where our volunteer repair experts help fix household items and clothing, keeping them out of the landfill and giving them new life! It’s also a great opportunity to learn hands-on repair skills and sustainable habits that can help you extend the life of your belongings.
To help us create a smooth flow and reduce wait times, we encourage you to book a time slot in advance. When registering, please provide a brief description of what you’d like repaired. This helps our volunteers prepare and ensures we have the right tools and expertise on hand. While we can’t guarantee every item can be fixed, we’ll do our best to help—and you might even pick up some repair skills along the way!

What is a Repair Cafe?
A free community gathering focused on repairing items and learning skills.
Reboot Eco Repair Cafes are focused on giving items a longer life and teaching folks skills and habits to help keep all their items in good working condition. When items are repaired and maintained well, it keeps them out of the landfill and prevents the need for new replacement items. Thus saving money and the environment!
Our skilled repair experts are happy to take a look at your items and perform any small repairs during the event for free (payment is required for parts needed to complete the repair). If any repairs require more time or more specific tools, they will recommend a course of action which may be as easy and convenient as them taking it home to repair and return to you when complete. More complex or time-consuming repairs may require a (negotiable) fee to offset labor and overhead. Consider any costs an investment in your community, and a contribution to a more sustainable lifestyle.
Our repair experts are able to assist with the following repairs, among others:
- Small household appliances (vacuums, blenders, lamps, fans, etc.)
- Clothing & Gear (rips/holes, broken zippers, frayed edges, torn pockets/straps, etc.)
- We are always up for a new challenge so if you can carry it, bring it to our next event and let us take a look.
Thank you for supporting waste reduction and a culture of repair in our community. We can’t wait to see you there!
