TL;DR Quick Answers
What we repair
We repair Android phones like Samsung Galaxy, Google Pixel, Motorola, OnePlus, and more.
How it starts
Most phone issues start with a quick check-in + inspection, then a clear quote before work begins.
Pricing
Starting prices are listed below (Android only). Final cost depends on the exact model and damage.
Water exposure
Bring it in ASAP for evaluation — don’t keep charging it.
Fast Diagnosis for Phone Problems
Here’s what your symptoms usually mean (and what you can safely do first):
Not charging / charging “on and off”
- Try a known-good cable + wall adapter (avoid car USB ports).
- Check for pocket lint in the port (don’t scrape with metal).
- If it still fails: USB-C wear, debris packed inside, or charging circuit issues.
Battery drains fast / shuts off early
- If it drops from 30% to 1% quickly, it’s often a worn battery.
- If it happens after a drop/cold: battery connection or board stress.
Cracked screen / black spots / no touch
- Cracks can damage digitizer/OLED even if glass looks “not too bad.”
- If the screen is lifting, don’t press it down — bring it in.
Overheating / random restarts
- Could be battery health, charging problem, or a software loop.
- If it got wet recently, heat + charging can make damage worse.

Quality Standards
Quality & When Not to DIY
We focus on repairs that last—clean fitment, careful handling, and practical post-repair testing. If something feels unsafe or uncertain, it’s usually faster (and cheaper) to have it evaluated before it gets worse.
What We Test Before You Leave
- Charging behavior (cable fit, charging stability, moisture warnings if applicable)
- Screen + touch response (dead zones, ghost touch, display artifacts)
- Speaker, mic, and earpiece clarity
- Camera function (front/rear focus, lens clarity, flash)
- Connectivity basics (Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, cellular signal if relevant)
When Not to DIY
- Swollen battery (screen/back lifting): stop using the phone and bring it in.
- Water exposure: don’t charge it, don’t use heat, and don’t keep power-cycling it.
- Deep cracks / glass shards: tape can push glass inward—safer to get it inspected.
- Charging only “at an angle”: forcing cables can damage the port or board.
- Overheating / random restarts: can indicate battery stress or board issues—get it checked.

Do you replace batteries the same day?
Many battery swaps can be done the same day when parts are available. If a part needs ordering, we’ll tell you up front.
