UADP: Free Device Repair
Accidental damage occurs on nearly half of all devices sent home with students and staff. Since the amount of devices sent home has increased, break-fix issues have skyrocketed. The easiest way to get out of the repair business and safeguard your investment in devices is through an Unlimited Accidental Damage Protection (UADP) plan. You purchase an UADP plan once and we will provide unlimited repairs at no additional cost for the lifetime of your plan. We even handle all the logistics of obtaining and returning your devices! Your devices may already be under warranty based off your initial purchase!
As Dell All-In partners and Dell Resellers, we offer UADP and perform all UADP and warranty work with our Dell certified technicians either in our Dell certified repair shop! Not only are we Dell certified, but our technicians also have the ability to perform certified repairs on nearly every manufacturer. Through our simple process, we will:
- Come onsite to obtain devices
- Perform full diagnostics on each device
- Repair each device & complete quality check
- Return all devices to your site location

* In most cases, this service is already free depending on your current warranty or protection plan. We provide two options:
- Free device repair for any new/current Dell device with accidental damage or warranty plan
- Free device repair for any new/current device with a purchased UADP plan from Clear Winds
