Frequently ask question

How long will the repair/service take?

Repair times vary depending on the service. After evaluating your needs, we’ll provide an estimated timeframe. Typically, our turnaround is 2 to 3 weeks, as we aim to complete each job efficiently while maintaining high quality.

Will there be a color difference after dyeing?

We will make every effort to match the colors as closely as possible. However, we cannot guarantee an exact match to the original factory color. If this is a concern, we recommend carefully considering your options.

What is the warranty period for aftercare?

After picking up the item, there will be a 2-week fixation period. During this time, we kindly ask that you avoid contact with water or friction. Should any issues arise during this period that are not caused by human factors, we would be happy to reinforce the item at no additional cost. After the 2-week period, if you would like further color correction, additional fees may apply based on our evaluation. During the fixation period, we also recommend protecting the item from rain and refraining from wiping it with water, alcohol, or maintenance oil.

How do I make an appointment?

To ensure we give each customer our full attention, we kindly ask that you make an appointment. Please submit a request form for an estimate, and we will be in touch to arrange everything to suit your schedule.

What are your hours of operation, and where is your shop located?

We are a studio-based repair shop offering personalized service by appointment. We provide pick-up and meet-up in Orange County, CA. For more information or a repair estimate, please submit a request form, and we’ll get back to you promptly.
