Are there items you don't allow to be repaired?
Any and all items should be free of excess dirt and grime when possible. All garments or fabric repair items should be cleaned prior to bringing them for repair.
Repair coaches are entitled to refuse to repair objects, especially those that require more work than allotted for the program.
Fix-It Cle also follows Sears think[box]'s Makerspace Policies for weapons and tools of vandalism.
I have a specialty/complicated item. Can we fix it?!
It's always a good idea to call ahead about a repair that might be a bit complicated or require a specialized skillset.
We will let you know if the volunteers in place for that event have the ability to help with your repairs. With enough notice, we may be able to find a volunteer coach with the skillset needed to coach at the workshop you plan to attend.
Do I have to stay for the whole duration of the event?
Drop in anytime during the event, and stay as long as you like.
Note that if you are coming to repair something you must show up at least 30 minutes prior to the end time.
Is there parking?
For workshops at the Cuyahoga County Solid Waste District, the parking is free.
For workshops at other locations around Cuyahoga County, see the Workshop Calendar page for parking info.
For workshops at Sears think[box], you must park in the Veale Parking Garage Lot 53 (there is a fee for parking in this garage). If you can find street parking, it can be used.
Can I bring minors?
Yes, you can bring minors, but they must be supervised by an adult at all times.
Do I need a think[box] membership for 4th Mondays?
Sears think[box] is free to use, and is a public-access facility. A think[box] ID card, similar to a library card, is how visitors sign in.
To become a member of the think[box] community, we'll have you register for a think[box] ID card. You can do this at home, or when you arrive to think[box]. You will finish the registration process and receive your ID card at our welcome desk.
How do I volunteer?
We are looking for coaches to volunteer at our fix-it clinics. Coaches provide guidance and assistance to all that attend clinics. If you are interested please fill out this form.
