Tucson Repair Cafe

We love our Tucson community! We had a great Valentine’s Day event, where we fixed a LaZBoy recliner, two sewing machines, appliances, fans, bags, radios and more!

Our next event is February 28th at the Oro Valley Library. We will start at 10:15 to give us time to set up. If you want to volunteer with us, just show up and we will give you instructions when you arrive!

After that, we will be having our second event with in the University of Arizona Main Library on March 1st, from 10-2pm. We recommend parking in the Cherry Ave garage, wagons and carts are available to transport items. Students interested in building a U of A Repair Cafe should attend!

Repairing is romantic! Join us at our Second Saturday event on Valentine’s Day at (101 W 6th St # 111) from 4-8 p.m. While we can’t guarantee a fix of your broken heart, we are happy to take a look! ❤️‍🩹🧰❤️‍🩹

Use these valentines to spread the love this weekend! Happy Valentine’s Day!

🌵 Happy New Year to everyone in our wonderful Tucson community! 🌵

Your feed might need some good news right now, and we are happy to share our official 2025 stats!

In 2025, we:

🌵 Fixed 230 items
🌵 Stopped 2,210 lbs of items from going to the landfill (over one ton!)
🌵 Gave advice to 71 items to help their owners get parts or fix it themselves at home
🌵 Looked at a total of 382 items, which means our fix rate was 60% and our advice rate was 18.5%!

And, based on the cost of items told to us when people brought their items in…

🌵 Saved an estimated $39,209 ($56,524 if all the advice items were repaired) in money that would’ve been spent on replacing fixable items!

This brings our fixed item count up to over 850 items!

We are excited to continue helping Tucsonans in 2026. Please join us for our first event of the year on January 10th from 4-8pm at (101 W 6th St #111)!

Join us tomorrow at Flowing Wells Library for a free repair event from 10am - 2pm! This is our rescheduled event from July 26th, and we’re excited for our first event in the Flowing Wells area. 🛠️

Hello Tucson! We had a Fourth Saturday event planned for this weekend at Flowing Wells Library. Unfortunately, their A/C broke and will not be fixed in time for the event. The room we were going to be in is going to be an estimated 95 degrees, which is going to be very uncomfortable for our volunteers and for you! We are rescheduling this event so we can serve people in the Flowing Wells area. So sorry for this inconvenience! Please catch us at our next event on August 9th from 4-8 pm at Xerocraft (101 W 6th St # 111). See you there! 🧰

Hope everyone is keeping cool! ☀️ We have another repair cafe event on Saturday, July 12th, from 4-8 pm at (101 W 6th St # 111). All items are welcome. Come learn skills to keep your items working so you don’t need to replace them!
