The revamped repair manuals aim to help both technicians and DIY enthusiasts, streamlining the process for a smoother experience. You can easily download repair manuals in English and French for Pixel products from Google Help. The Google DIY program covers a range of devices, including older ones like the Pixel 2, and extends support to the Pixel Fold and Pixel Tablet.
Google’s DIY program is available in the US, UK, Canada, Australia, and European regions where Pixel phones and Pixel Tablets are sold. The company has established partnerships with independent repair providers, including uBreakiFix, offering support at over 700 locations across the US. Google emphasizes that over 80% of Pixel device users are within 10-20 miles of an authorized repair center.
For those looking to take phone repairs into their own hands, Google now offers additional options. Alongside genuine spare parts from iFixit, users can access repair fixtures and tools from Shyft Global Services.
If you still need to visit a repair center, just a reminder that Google rolled out a new Repair Mode feature. This privacy-focused feature safeguards user data during repairs without the need for time-consuming backups, wipes, and data restoration processes. Users can activate Repair Mode to protect their personal data, hand over their device for repair, and seamlessly deactivate it once the device is returned.
