Become a Partner

When a client's drive is past what your bench can do, you shouldn't have to hand them to a faceless national lab — and risk the relationship you built. Send it to us instead. Free evaluation, no data no fee, and your client stays your client.

Free evaluation · No data, no fee · Talk directly with a technician.

Desert Data Recovery works with IT companies, MSPs, and computer stores across Arizona and the country. You handle the IT; we handle the recoveries that need a cleanroom, a PC-3000, and a technician who does this every day. No sales pitch to your client, no competing services, no surprises on the invoice.

Who we partner with

How it works

  1. Get in touch. Tell us about the device and the failure — call, or send us a message. If it's clicking or was dropped, power it down and leave it alone.
  2. Get it to us. Drop off at any of our four Arizona locations, or ship it in from anywhere with our secure mail-in service.
  3. Free evaluation and a firm quote. We diagnose it properly and tell you what's recoverable, what it costs, and what we're not sure about — before anything chargeable starts.
  4. We recover; you deliver. Data comes back on fresh media. Bill your client yourself, or have us bill them directly — your call.

Have a drive on your bench right now that's beyond a software fix? Send it over — the evaluation is free either way.

Why shops send us their hard cases

What we recover

We also handle broken and water-damaged phones, self-encrypting and locked drives, and chip-off work on flash media. If you're not sure whether a case is worth sending, ask — we'll tell you honestly.

Partner pricing

Partner pricing and referral arrangements are available, and we'd rather build them around how you actually work than force a template on you. Some shops want a flat partner rate and bill their client themselves; others prefer we quote and bill the client directly and simply keep them in the loop. Both work. Our standard flat-rate pricing is published in full — start there, then talk to us about how you'd like it structured.

Partner program FAQ

Do you work with IT companies and computer repair shops?
Regularly — it's a meaningful part of what we do. Local IT companies, MSPs, and computer stores send us the drives that are beyond a bench-level fix: clicking and mechanical failures, dead SSDs, firmware faults, RAID and NAS arrays, and flash media. Every case gets a free evaluation and a firm quote before any chargeable work, so you can give your client a real answer without committing them to anything.
Will you try to take my client?
No. Your client stays your client. We're a recovery lab, not an IT company — we don't sell managed services, break/fix, or anything that competes with you. If you'd prefer we stay entirely behind the scenes, we can work that way and you handle all the client communication. Tell us how you want it run and we'll follow your lead.
What does it cost, and who pays?
Every case starts with a free evaluation and a firm quote, and we work on a strict "No Data, No Recovery Fee" basis — if we can't recover the data, there's no recovery fee. You can either have us bill your client directly or bill you so you can handle it your way. Partner pricing and referral arrangements are available — get in touch and we'll structure something that fits how you work.
Can you help if we're not in Arizona?
Yes. We work with shops and IT companies nationwide through our secure mail-in service — see mail-in data recovery and our shipping guide. In the Valley and northern Arizona, you can also drop off at any of our four locations.
What if the drive turns out not to be recoverable?
We'll tell you straight, and there's no recovery fee. We'd rather give you an honest "no" you can pass to your client than take a case we don't believe in — that's also why we don't advertise a success rate. If you want to understand what makes some cases genuinely impossible, we cover it in data recovery challenges.
