Google is making things easier for Pixel users in India by rolling out same-day repair centres in 21 cities across the country. This new support service aims to fix 80 per cent of Pixel devices on the same day, which is a major step up in customer service. If you take your Pixel device to an authorised centre before 2 PM, there's a good chance you'll walk out with it repaired the same day.

If you own a pair of Pixel Buds or a Pixel Watch, you can also get them fixed quickly at these authorised centres. To be eligible, you need to visit either a Google-exclusive service centre or one of its priority partners. These centres are spread across cities, including Delhi, Mumbai, Bengaluru, Chennai, Kolkata, Hyderabad, Pune, Lucknow, Jaipur, and others. Google has listed the full set of locations on its support those who can't make it to a centre, Google has also introduced a doorstep pick-up and drop-off option. This is part of their mail-in service, where a delivery agent will collect your device, send it in for repairs, and return it once it's fixed. It's a free service and can be booked through Google's repair portal. You just need to enter your device serial number or sign in with your Google account to begin. This push to improve service and support comes at an important time for Google in India. The company is preparing to launch its next-generation Pixel devices — the Pixel 10 series — later this year. The official unveiling will happen on August 20, during the Made by Google event in New York. Viewers around the world will be able to stream the keynote live on Pixel 10 line-up is expected to include the Pixel 10, Pixel 10 Pro, and the Pixel 10 Pro Fold.
