How long it really takes
A screen is typically under an hour. So is a battery, and so is a charging port. We tell you the turnaround before you hand the phone over, so you know whether to wait or come back.
Most screens are done within the hour, while you wait. No appointment needed.

No. Walk in during store hours. Booking a time is worth doing only because it means we have your part on the bench before you arrive — it does not get you seen faster on a quiet afternoon.
Screen, battery and port repairs do not erase your phone. We still recommend backing up first, as anybody should before any repair, and we need your passcode to test the work properly afterwards.
It depends on the model — an older iPhone screen costs considerably less than a current Pro Max. Use the price checker on our repair page and you will see your exact price in about a minute.
Every repair is guaranteed for sixty days on the part and our workmanship.
Pick what is broken and which iPhone you have — your price appears straight away.
