Is DJI still doing repairs in the U.S.?
Yes, by mail. DJI's U.S. service list has no drop-off center for camera drones, and its delay notice, dated August 27, 2025, puts a repair at 60 to 90 calendar days or longer from the day DJI receives the drone.
- Drop-off
No walk-in counter to visit. DJI's one U.S. entry for camera drones, DJI North America, takes an online repair request, and its address line reads “No Drop-Off”: the drone goes by mail.
Mail only - How long
60 to 90 calendar days, or longer. DJI's notice says changes in customs policies have disrupted the supply of certain materials. Its normal stages are far shorter: receipt 1-2 working days after the drone arrives, inspection 2 working days, repair 3 working days after payment.
Months - Shipping
Free inside DJI's courier range: DJI sends a shipping label within 2 business days, so sending the drone costs you nothing.
Free label - Who answers
DJI's U.S. support page names CarePro Technology Inc for online customer service: technical support, repair requests and repair status. DJI's online service and its English phone line run Monday to Sunday, 6 a.m. to 6 p.m. Pacific time.
7 days - The online store
DJI's U.S. online store, run by BRICART Inc., passes repairs on to DJI: its Repairs page sends repair, DJI Care Express, replacement, flyaway and maintenance requests to DJI's service portal, which decides availability and eligibility.
Portal decides - New and faulty
A manufacturing defect within 30 calendar days of delivery: DJI recommends its Replacement Service rather than a repair.
Replace
DJI's other 92 U.S. centers
Every other entry on DJI's U.S. service list is a DJI Agriculture service center, in 34 states, for other types of drones: DJI's agricultural drones. The states and names are under drone repair near me.
How to request a DJI drone repair and send the drone
DJI's online repair process has five steps: back up your data, request the repair, send the drone, inspection and payment, then the repair and the return. In warranty, a failure not caused by human error is repaired or replaced free.
-
Back up your data
FirstNo repair is sure to restore your drone with its data: DJI says data on it may be lost during the repair. It asks owners to back it up and remove everything but the flight logs, and after the warranty ends it offers no data analysis. Take out the memory card, and take off stickers and paint: DJI is not responsible for decorations, “UAS stickers” included.
-
Request the repair
3 waysStart your repair in one of three places. In the DJI Fly app: Service, then Service Request. On DJI's website: Support, then Service Request and Inquiry, then Request Repair Service Online, signed in with your DJI account. In the DJI Store app: Account, then Service, then Initiate Service.
-
Send the drone
Free labelShip your drone from anywhere inside DJI's courier range at no cost: DJI sends a shipping label within 2 business days. Warranty service is given only in the DJI service region where you bought the drone; a repair across regions may be offered at extra charge, with DJI's consent, the owner paying the duties and costs.
-
Inspection and payment
Your yes firstDJI logs the drone in 1-2 working days after it arrives and inspects it in 2. Out of warranty, DJI starts no repair without your consent to its quote; if you decline, DJI returns the drone and you may pay the return shipping.
-
Repair and return
60 to 90 daysIn DJI's normal stages the repair takes 3 working days after payment; its delay notice allows 60 to 90 calendar days or longer for the whole job. Report damage in transport within 7 days of signing for the returned drone. A drone DJI cannot deliver back is treated as abandoned after 90 days without a new address or payment arrangements.
How much does DJI drone repair cost?
For most DJI drones the cost is a quote after DJI inspects the drone. DJI's U.S. price list prints part prices only for the Mavic 4 Pro and the DJI RC and RC 2 controllers, plus its labor fees: a battery free, a gimbal or remote controller 1 hour at $65.
- In warranty
Free for a failure not caused by human error: DJI repairs or replaces the drone. The warranty starts the day after delivery; without proof of purchase, 90 days after the ship date on the product. In North America a DJI product bought after August 1, 2016 has warranty only if it came from a DJI authorized dealer.
Free - Out of warranty
A quote first. DJI starts no repair without your consent to its quote; if you decline, it returns the drone and you may pay the return shipping.
Quote - Listed prices
DJI Mavic 4 Pro: an arm module $119 to $159, the upper cover module $48, the gimbal coaxial cable $51, the Hasselblad camera $993, the gimbal and camera as one part $1,616. DJI RC: the right control stick module $28. DJI RC 2: a control stick module $40.
Listed - Labor
A gimbal or remote controller: 1 hour, $65; a battery: free. DJI's table prints aircraft labor only for the Phantom series (2 hours, $130) and the Inspire series (3 hours, $195), and none for its folding drones.
Partly listed - Refurbished
DJI may fit tested refurbished parts, or swap the product for a refurbished one of the same type, with different serial numbers. A replacement product or part is covered for the rest of the original warranty or 90 days, whichever is longer.
New serial - With Care Refresh
A replacement for a fixed fee instead of a quote: $65 after damage for a Mini 4 Pro, $99 for an Air 3S, from DJI's “US & Canada” fee table. Every drone's fees are under flyaways.
Fixed fee
Prices change
These are DJI's prices in U.S. dollars as its repair price inquiry showed them on November 15, 2026. The quote DJI sends after the inspection is the one you agree to or decline.

What breaks on a drone, and what DJI's repair manuals say to do
DJI publishes no count of what breaks most often. Its two repair manuals list the faults, and for nearly every fault in the aircraft itself, a broken arm or a gimbal error included, the method is the same: replace the aircraft.
- Propellers
The fix you make yourself. DJI's warranty gives propellers no warranty period, and its parts list names propellers for 8 of the 11 DJI drones in our records; they come off and go on by hand or with the screwdriver DJI supplies.
Do it yourself - Arms
Replace the aircraft, both manuals say, for a broken or skewed arm, one of the arms that join the motors to the body. DJI's parts list has no arm for any drone in our records; its price list prices arm modules for the Mavic 4 Pro alone, $119 to $159.
Send to DJI - Gimbal and camera
Replace the aircraft for a broken gimbal axis arm, an abnormal camera image or a gimbal stabilization error. No gimbal ribbon cable is on DJI's parts list for any drone in our records; the price list names a gimbal coaxial cable for the Mavic 4 Pro only, at $51.
Send to DJI - Battery
Replace the battery. A battery or charger that is cracked, does not charge or does not power the drone: change that module. Its warranty is 12 months; for the Neo also under 100 charge cycles, for the Flip under 200.
Do it yourself - Control sticks
Calibrate first. Sticks that do not re-center: calibrate them in the app, then replace the remote controller, says the Mavic manual. DJI's parts list names control sticks for the DJI RC, RC 2 and RC-N series controllers.
Calibrate - Shell and frame
Mavic series: replace the aircraft for a cracked upper cover. Avata and Neo series: replace the upper frame, and a cracked propeller guard is a new guard. The Neo's propeller guard has a 3-month warranty.
Depends - Motors and sensors
Replace the aircraft for a propulsion error, a camera sensor error or a GPS warning, in both manuals.
Send to DJI
Which manual is yours
DJI's Mavic Series Repair Manual covers the Mini 3, Mini 3 Pro, Mini 4K, Mini 4 Pro, Mini 5 Pro, Air 3S and Mavic 4 Pro; its Avata and Neo Series Repair Manual covers the Neo and the Flip. Neither lists the Avata 2 or the Neo 2 yet.
Crash damage and water damage on a DJI drone
DJI's warranty does not cover a crash from any cause but a manufacturing fault, and DJI treats a water-damaged aircraft as beyond repair: it offers a replacement service instead. After water, do not power the drone on.
- A crash
Not covered by the warranty: crashes or fire from causes other than manufacturing, pilot error included; bad weather; electromagnetic or wireless interference; a takeoff over the safe weight; a defective or low battery. Out of warranty, a crash repair is a quote.
Not covered - Water
Beyond repair, so replaced instead: DJI's policy treats a water-damaged aircraft as beyond repair and offers a replacement service. DJI's Mavic Series Repair Manual: do not power the drone on right after it has fallen into water.
Replacement - Care Refresh
Accidental damage replaced for a fixed fee, 2 replacements in the 1-Year Plan and 4 in the 2-Year Plan, flyaways counted among them. All covered components go back to DJI for an accident replacement.
Fixed fee - Care Express
Faster, with Care Refresh and a replacement left: DJI Care Express is meant for collision, water damage and natural wear. DJI skips the inspection and gives no warranty service for the faulty part. Basic ships once DJI receives your unit; Premium ships after payment, with a card pre-authorization up to the product's value, and the original is due back in generally 7 to 14 calendar days. It takes no flyaway or warranty repair cases.
Care Refresh only - Opened or modified
Not covered: damage from a modification, disassembly or shell opening not done by DJI's instructions or manuals, from a service provider DJI has not authorized, or from third-party parts DJI has not authenticated.
Not covered
Fell into water?
Do not power it on. DJI's Mavic manual says so in its notices; then request a repair, or a Care Refresh replacement if you have a plan.
DJI drone flyaway and Care Refresh replacement
A drone that flew away is replaced only under DJI Care Refresh: 1 flyaway replacement in the 1-Year Plan, 2 in the 2-Year Plan, each for its fee. DJI's U.S. FAQ does not list the United States among the places Care Refresh is available.
- The plans
1-Year Plan: 2 replacements, 1 of them for a flyaway. 2-Year Plan: 4, 2 of them for flyaways. Every replacement costs its fee.
Fixed fee - The fees
From $19 (DJI Neo, damage) to $429 (DJI Air 3S, flyaway) in DJI's table headed “US & Canada”; a DJI Mini 4 Pro is $65 after damage and $235 after a flyaway. The Neo 2, Mini 5 Pro and Mavic 4 Pro fees are printed only under “Canada”: the Mavic 4 Pro $199 and $1,069. The table at the top of this page has every drone.
Per model - A flyaway claim
The DJI account bound to the aircraft and to the remote controller or goggles, a Flyaway Aircraft Report and the flight records. Once the fee is paid the lost drone becomes DJI's property; found later, it goes back to DJI.
Records - In the U.S. now
No new plans listed, and no word on old ones. DJI's U.S. FAQ does not list the United States among the places Care Refresh is available, and no DJI page we read says whether a plan bought in the U.S. earlier is still honored. Ask DJI's online customer service with your plan's details.

DJI Care RefreshDIY drone repair: DJI parts and repair manuals
DJI's parts list sells propellers, batteries, guards and control sticks, and its repair manuals leave an owner a short list: a battery, a charger, a cable, a propeller guard, an accessory, the upper frame of an Avata or Neo series drone. For anything inside the aircraft they say to replace the aircraft.
- Where to buy
DJI says to buy parts through the DJI Store or by contacting DJI Support. DJI's U.S. online store sells no drone, no drone battery, no propellers and no DJI Care plan, so for propellers and batteries ask DJI Support.
Ask Support - Yours to change
Propellers, a battery or charger, a damaged cable, a cracked accessory, and on the Avata and Neo series a cracked upper frame or propeller guard: the manuals' method for each is to replace that part.
Do it yourself - Glue
Neither DJI repair manual names glue, an adhesive or a bonded repair. DJI's method for a broken arm or a cracked cover is a new part or a new aircraft, and opening the shell outside DJI's instructions takes that damage out of the warranty.
Not in DJI's manuals - The warranty
Changing a part by DJI's instructions is allowed; damage from a modification, disassembly or shell opening outside DJI's instructions or manuals, or from third-party parts DJI has not authenticated, is not covered.

- Potensic ATOM 2
Potensic's repair service takes only its ATOM series drones, in about 14 working days after the service center receives one.

The warranty is 12 months for new items sold by Potensic or its authorized Amazon retailers, propellers not covered, and no claim outside the country of purchase. Potensic Care for the ATOM 2 is sold through the Potensic Eve app, in the region of purchase.
Maker repairs - HOVERAir X1 PRO
HOVERAir sells a Repair Kit for the X1 PRO and PROMAX, $23.99 on its U.S. store: four propellers, two protective frames, eight screws and a screwdriver. Used by the official instructions, it does not affect the one-year warranty of a unit bought from the official store or an authorized dealer. HOVERCare: the 1-year plan gives up to 2 low-cost replacements after damage or a flyaway, the 2-year plan up to 3; HOVERAir pays shipping both ways for repairs and replacements, and repairs are up to 35% off, parts only.
Kit sold - Antigravity A1
A one-year warranty with free repair for failures you did not cause, and no global warranty. Antigravity Care, offered in the United States: the 1-Year Plan gives 2 replacements, one of them for a flyaway, the 2-Year Plan 4; Care Protection plans give repairs at 30% off, and Antigravity pays shipping both ways for an approved replacement.

DJI lists no repair center near you for a camera drone. The 92 U.S. service centers on its list besides DJI North America are DJI Agriculture centers in 34 states, for its agricultural drones. No independent shop is on that list, including those that repair consumer and commercial drones of many brands. Before you hand one a camera drone, ask six questions.
- Parts
Genuine DJI parts or third-party ones? DJI's warranty excludes damage by a service provider it has not authorized and problems from third-party parts it has not authenticated.
Warranty - The quote
A written quote before any work, and what you pay if you say no.
In writing - Repair warranty
Is every repair backed by a written warranty, for how long, and does it cover the parts and the labor?
Ask - Test flight
Who flies it after the repair? A shop repairing drones for paying customers does not fly the test flight strictly for recreation, so its pilot needs an FAA remote pilot certificate (Part 107).
Part 107 - Time and shipping
How long it takes, and who pays for insured shipping both ways if you mail it.
Ask - Your data
Back up your photos and videos and take out the memory card before you hand the drone over.

Why we list no shops
We name only what we could check on each business's own page, and no independent repair shop passed that check for this page. Search for drone repair and your city, then ask these questions.

Does the DJI ban affect drone repair in the U.S.?
Not the repair itself: the FCC says continued use of drones already bought is not affected, and its FAQ says repairs and replacement with identical parts are not prohibited. What changed is supply: DJI blames customs policies for its 60 to 90 day delay, and imported drones and parts carry new duties.
- FCC Covered List
DJI drones, and all other foreign-produced drones, are on the FCC Covered List since December 22, 2025.
Listed - Your drone
Continued use of drones already bought is not affected, the FCC says.
Keep flying - Repairs and parts
Repairs, and replacement with identical parts, are not prohibited by the listing, says the FCC's FAQ on drones and their critical components. We read it on an archived copy, because fcc.gov refuses scripts.
Allowed - Firmware
Drones authorized before December 22, 2025 may keep receiving software and firmware updates under an FCC waiver to at least January 1, 2029.
Updates - Customs
DJI says U.S. Customs held some DJI drone imports under the Uyghur Forced Labor Prevention Act, and calls it “a customs matter, not a ban”; we found no statement from U.S. Customs and Border Protection. DJI's delay notice says changes in customs policies disrupted the supply of certain materials.
Delays - Duties
Since September 3, 2026, imported drones of about 55 lb (25 kg) or less carry a 25% section 232 duty; a further 25% on listed drone components starts February 9, 2027. DJI has not said what this does to its repair prices.
25% duty - The newest models
The Mini 5 Pro, Mavic 4 Pro and Neo 2 have no product page on DJI's U.S. site, and DJI's U.S. warranty table has no row for them: ask DJI's online customer service before you ship one.
Ask first
The ban, step by step
What the FCC listing covers, what it leaves alone and what happens next: our guide to the DJI ban.
Is DJI banned in the U.S.?After the repair: registration, Remote ID and the first flight
If DJI sends back a refurbished drone or new parts, the serial number may change. A standard Remote ID drone may fly only with its serial number on its FAA registration, and you update the registration within 14 calendar days of a change.
- Serial number
Check it against your registration. DJI's replacement product or part may carry a different serial number, and a standard Remote ID drone flies only if its serial number is on its Certificate of Aircraft Registration (14 CFR 89.110).
Check - 14 days
Update your registration on FAADroneZone within 14 calendar days of a change (14 CFR 48.115).
14 days - The number on it
Mark the drone again if the sticker came off: DJI asks you to remove “UAS stickers” before you ship, and a registered drone must display its registration number when it flies (14 CFR 48.200).
Re-mark - Its warranty
A replacement drone or part is covered for the rest of the original warranty or 90 days, whichever is longer. Report damage in transport within 7 days of signing for it.
90 days
Can I fly here?
Before the first flight after a repair, check the spot: our Can I fly here? tool shows the airspace, flight restrictions and what the flight needs, for the place and time you choose.

DJI drone repair: questions and answers
Is DJI still doing repairs?
Yes, by mail. DJI's U.S. service list has one entry for camera drones, DJI North America, which takes an online repair request and no drop-off. Its delay notice, dated August 27, 2025, says to allow 60 to 90 calendar days or longer from the day DJI receives the drone. The FCC's FAQ says the Covered List does not prohibit repairs or replacement with identical parts.
How do I repair my drone?
Start with its maker. For a DJI drone, back up your data, request a repair in the DJI Fly app, on DJI's website or in the DJI Store app, and send it with the free label DJI provides; in warranty, a failure not caused by human error is repaired free, and out of warranty DJI sends a quote first. Propellers, batteries, chargers, cables and propeller guards you change yourself; for a broken arm, gimbal or motor DJI's manuals say to replace the aircraft. Choose your drone in the lookup for its own route.
What is the best glue to use to repair a drone?
DJI names none: neither of its repair manuals mentions glue, an adhesive or a bonded repair. Its method for a broken arm or a cracked cover is a new part or a new aircraft, and damage from opening the shell outside DJI's instructions is not covered by the warranty. We recommend no glue.
What is the life expectancy of a DJI drone?
DJI prints no life expectancy for its drones. The nearest figures it prints are warranty terms: 12 months for the main parts, and for the batteries of some models a charge-cycle limit as well, under 100 cycles for the Neo and under 200 for the Flip. Drones the FCC authorized before December 22, 2025 may keep receiving firmware updates under an FCC waiver to at least January 1, 2029.
How much does it cost to get a drone fixed?
For most DJI models it is a quote after inspection: DJI's U.S. price list prints part prices only for the Mavic 4 Pro and the DJI RC and RC 2 controllers. For the Mavic 4 Pro an arm module is $119 to $159 and the gimbal and camera $1,616; labor is $65 for a gimbal or remote controller and free for a battery. With DJI Care Refresh a replacement is a fixed fee instead, for example $65 after damage for a Mini 4 Pro.
How long does DJI take to repair a drone?
60 to 90 calendar days or longer from the day DJI receives it, says DJI's U.S. delay notice, which blames changes in customs policies. DJI's normal stages are receipt in 1-2 working days, inspection in 2 and the repair in 3 working days after payment.
Can I drop off my DJI drone for repair?
No. DJI's U.S. entry for camera drones reads “No Drop-Off”: you request the repair online and mail the drone with DJI's free label. The 92 other U.S. centers on DJI's list are DJI Agriculture service centers for its agricultural drones, so ask before you bring a camera drone to one.
Does DJI's warranty cover crash damage?
No. DJI's policy excludes crashes or fire from causes other than manufacturing, pilot error included, and damage from bad weather, interference, an overweight takeoff or a defective or low battery. DJI Care Refresh replaces a damaged drone for a fixed fee, if you have a plan.
Does a third-party repair void my DJI warranty?
It takes that damage out of the warranty: DJI does not cover damage by a service provider it has not authorized, problems from third-party parts it has not authenticated, or damage from opening the shell other than by its instructions or manuals.
Can a water-damaged DJI drone be repaired?
DJI treats a water-damaged aircraft as beyond repair and offers a replacement service instead. Do not power the drone on after it has fallen into water, DJI's Mavic Series Repair Manual says.
Where can I buy DJI replacement parts in the U.S.?
DJI says to buy parts through the DJI Store or by contacting DJI Support. On the date we checked, DJI's U.S. online store sold no drone battery and no propellers, so ask DJI Support for those. Each drone's parts are in the table under DIY drone repair.
Will the DJI ban stop my drone from being repaired?
Not by itself: the FCC says continued use of drones already bought is not affected, and its FAQ says repairs and replacement with identical parts are not prohibited. Supply is slower: DJI's 60 to 90 day delay notice blames changes in customs policies. More in our guide Is DJI banned in the U.S.?
