Send the unit for repair

Mail-in repair of car radio, navigation and amplifier

Service for factory OEM car electronics without leaving home.

Updated: 24.10.2025 (content, terms)

Mail-in repair of car electronics

means sending the unit only (factory radio, amplifier or navigation) to OEMatic service, where it undergoes diagnostics, refurbishment and quality tests. Safe shipping removes the need to travel and saves you time.

Is it worth repairing a factory radio, navigation system and car amplifier?

You turn the key and are greeted by silence. Your navigation system, radio or amplifier refuses to work. You know the scenario.

First thought? “Great, now I have to find a specialist... probably 200 km from home.”

And what if local workshops won’t even discuss the fault? They shrug and suggest replacing it with a used unit because “it can’t be repaired”?

That’s not true. You do not have to come to us.

At OEMatic we specialise in mail-in repairs. In fact, over 90% of repairs are carried out by post – without the car being involved. All you need to do is send the unit itself.

We understand concerns about posting equipment. That is why our process is based on 5 principles:

Free diagnostics

– you always know how much you will pay.

Quote for approval

– we never repair anything without your consent.

Proper refurbishment

– we do not patch things up, we restore factory functionality.

Quality tests

– we test every unit after repair, before sending it back.

12-24 month warranty

– full protection like at an authorised dealer.

Below you will find 4 simple steps that will guide you through the whole process – from sending it off to collecting the repaired unit.

STEP 1

Day 1

Contact and shipping

You complete the free quote form or call us (5-10 minutes’ conversation) to receive an initial price range and the date when the assessment will begin. In 99% of cases, we are able to determine the cost range during the first contact.

Task:

Pack the unit only (without cables) and send it to our address, or order our courier (it will arrive in 1-2 days).

STEP 2

Day 2-3

Diagnostics and final quote

Once we receive the parcel, it goes to the laboratory bench. We verify the fault and call you with a specific repair offer: gross price, turnaround time, warranty. You always know how much you will pay before you make a decision.

You approve – we repair. You decline – return with no diagnostic fee.

STEP 3

Day 3-4

Proper refurbishment and testing

After your approval, we carry out a full refurbishment. We do not “patch” the problem – we restore full factory functionality for years to come. As a preventive measure, we also replace those components that we know are prone to failure.

Finally, we test the unit in an environment simulating the conditions in your car (temperature, shocks).

STEP 4

Day 4-5

Settlement and safe return

We pack fully working equipment with a written 12/24-month warranty (full warranty as at an authorised dealer). Once settled, we send it back to you by insured parcel straight to your door.

You fit it and enjoy sound in your car again.

FAQ – the most common questions about mail-in repair.

FAQ – Frequently asked questions

Is it worth repairing a factory car radio?

Yes! Refurbishing a car radio is often the best option:
✅ Cost: 3-5x cheaper than a new unit at an authorised dealer
✅ Quality: Full factory functionality, not a used auction unit with no warranty
✅ Warranty: 12-24 months, like new equipment
✅ Time: 1-5 days vs. weeks waiting for parts at an authorised dealer

Can I remove the radio from the car myself?

In most cases, yes – it takes just a few minutes. On YouTube you’ll find removal instructions for your model. We also offer telephone support. If you prefer, we can recommend a trusted workshop in your area.

What should I send — just the radio or the wiring too?

Send only the unit itself (without cables, without trim frames). The cables stay in the car – this makes reinstallation after repair easier.

Do you arrange courier collection from my home?

Yes, we can arrange courier collection from your home or workplace. All you need to do is pack the unit according to the instructions.

How can I track the status of my repair?

You receive SMS/email notifications at every stage: parcel collection → diagnosis → repair → return shipping. You can also call at any time.

What about the radio code – I do not have one?

If you don't have it, and it is needed to get the unit working after repair – don't worry at all. We will recover it as part of the service price, and we specialise in such services too.

When should I make the payment?

Only after you accept the quote and the repair has been carried out. You never pay upfront. You will receive the invoice to pay by email, or we will send it cash on delivery (as you prefer).

Is the shipment insured?

Yes! Normally we send the repaired unit back by DPD courier with insurance cover up to 3000 zł – at no extra cost to you.
If your unit is worth more, we can arrange individual insurance before dispatch.

How can I collect the repaired equipment?

You can collect it in person in Sochaczew (0 zł), we can send it at your expense, or we can agree individual terms (e.g. cash on delivery). In the event of any damage in transit – the courier covers the full insured value.

What do customers who had their equipment repaired by us say?

See reviews from satisfied car owners who got their radio, navigation or amplifier working again.

We repair only original OEM units.
These are the same devices that were fitted in your car by the manufacturer.
