WARNING: Please do not attempt to perform repairs yourself as it could damage the lighter beyond repair.
The Zippo European Repair Clinic handles all repairs sent in by owners of a Zippo product (lighters, candle lighters, hand warmers).
Unfortunately, we are currently behind with our repair service due to sick-leave, so a repair can take about 8-9 weeks instead of the 4 weeks Zippo is used to. We ask for your understanding and will do everything in our power to process the pending requests as quickly as possible. Once repaired, your product will automatically be sent back to you.
