It is quite common for all Garmin devices to experience issues with the battery not holding a charge over time. If you have owned a Garmin for more than two to three years, and you notice that the battery life is significantly diminished—lasting no more than 15 minutes on a full charge—it is likely that the battery has become faulty and needs to be replaced. This degradation in battery performance is typical as devices age, and a replacement battery can restore the device’s functionality to optimal levels.

Answer: The repair turnaround time is generally expedited typically ranging from 5 to 15 business days following receipt of the device. In many cases repairs are completed and dispatched within 2 to 5 days of receipt. However, please note that some devices may require a longer time for thorough testing to ensure everything is functioning correctly. Even tasks that seem straightforward, like changing a battery, may require additional preparation and finishing touches to ensure optimal performance. Therefore, additional time may be needed in such cases. Rest assured, we prioritize both efficiency and quality in all our repair services.
