Quotes & Pricing

 

Repair pricing can vary even for the same type of repair (like a screen or battery). Here are the most common factors that impact the final cost, and how we keep everything transparent.


1) Device make/model (and version)


Different models use different parts and different repair procedures.

• Newer or higher-end models typically cost more

• Some models require more labor time due to design

2) Part quality and availability


We'll recommend the best option for your device and budget.

• Some devices have multiple part grades available

• If a part is not in stock, it may need to be special-ordered

3) Hidden damage (found during inspection)


A device can have damage that isn't visible until we open it or test it.
Common examples:

• Bent frame (can prevent a new screen from seating correctly)

• Internal damage from impact

• Loose/missing screws or prior repair issues

If we find something that changes the price, we'll confirm the updated total with you before continuing.


4) Liquid exposure / corrosion


Liquid damage can create multiple issues and can affect long-term reliability.

• Cleaning and corrosion treatment may be needed

• Some parts may be damaged even if the device powers on

5) Prior repairs or aftermarket parts


If a device has been repaired before, we may see:

• Incorrect parts installed previously

• Adhesive/seal issues

• Missing shields/screws

This can increase labor time or change which parts are needed.


6) Multiple issues at once


Sometimes one symptom is caused by more than one failure.
Examples:

• Charging issues caused by a port problem and battery wear

• Display issues caused by a screen problem and internal connector damage

7) Service type (in-shop vs on-site)


On-site service can include additional fees (travel/time) compared to in-shop repairs.

8) Diagnostic/bench fees (for unknown issues)

If the issue isn’t clear yet (no power, not charging, random restarts, etc.), a bench fee may apply to cover diagnosis time. If you proceed with a repair, that fee is credited toward the final total. See: Upfront Payment Policy.

Our promise: no surprise work

• We confirm pricing before we start

• If anything changes after inspection, we contact you first

• You're always in control of whether we proceed
