Prices reflect surveyed independent repair shops across surveyed cities, 2026. Authorised service centres (Apple, Samsung) typically charge 20–60% more. Ranges narrower than $50 are uncommon — be wary of any flat-rate quote.
Troubleshooting
Not sure what's wrong? Start with what your phone is doing — green lines, no power, ghost touches — and we'll narrow the cause and the cost.

Methodology
Repair prices vary widely by region, part quality, and shop overhead. Rather than publish a single number that's wrong everywhere, we publish ranges that reflect what real shops charge.
Every model price is sourced from a minimum of nine quotes across surveyed independent shops and authorised service centres. We re-survey quarterly.
Prices come from real shop quotes, not press releases or affiliate referral schemes.
The "DIY" price includes the part, the right tools, and the realistic ~25% chance you'll need a second attempt.
No shop pays us to be listed. Lead-gen forms route to verified local techs based on proximity.
Phone parts get cheaper as they age. Every model is re-surveyed each quarter.
