Real numbers, on a page, before you call anyone. Around here that’s rarer than it should be.
Every repair I do is one flat total — parts, labor and travel — told to you before I set off, and it doesn’t move after. The table below is the real starting point for each job.
“From” is honest, not a hook: parts genuinely differ by model, and a screen for one phone can cost triple another’s. Text me your model and the word back is an exact number, not a range.
Partly because parts move around — a screen panel for a current iPhone and one for a four-year-old Samsung are different universes. And partly, if we’re being honest, because some shops would rather you walked in before you heard the number.
I publish the floor because the floor is real. If the exact quote for your model lands above it, you’ll know why: the part, and nothing else.
Your model — an iPhone 8 and a 17 Pro Max are not the same job. The part tier — where quality options exist for a screen, I’ll tell you the difference in plain terms and let you choose. How the phone was built — back glass on a removable-panel model is a quick swap; on a bonded model the old glass has to be broken out first.
What never changes the number: your zip code, how urgent you sound, or how much you seem to know. Same table for everyone.
A battery at $75 against a new handset at $800 isn’t a dilemma, it’s arithmetic. A screen at $65 on a phone that already limps through the day might be money spent on the wrong problem.
That’s why there’s a worth-it calculator on this site — and why the answer I give you isn’t always “fix it.” If the phone’s not worth the repair, I’ll say so and may make you a cash offer for it instead.
| Screen replacement | from $65 |
| Battery replacement | from $75 |
| Charging port clean & check | from $35 |
| Back glass | from $75 |
| Water damage | free diagnosis first |
| Diagnosis | always free |
| Travel — under 5 miles | $15 |
| Travel — 5 to 12 miles | $25 |
| Travel — 12 to 20 miles | $35 |
| Travel — two+ devices, one address | charged once |
Most of Scranton and Dunmore sits in the $15 band. The valley towns — Dickson City, Moosic, Clarks Summit, Peckville, Taylor, Old Forge, Pittston — are $25. The Carbondale end is $35.
Cracked screens — cheapest to fix before the crack reaches the touch layer. Batteries — the repair that makes an older phone feel new for the least money. Charging ports — and if yours only charges at an angle, that’s usually packed lint and a $35 clean rather than a repair at all. Back glass — where the price swings hard depending on which model you’re holding. Met water instead? Read this first.
iPhone 8 through 17 Pro Max, Samsung Galaxy A, S and Z series, Google Pixel.
Your phone, the problem, your street. Two taps and you get one flat price — travel already in it.
Home, work, a car park — free diagnosis when I arrive.
Thirty minutes to an hour for most repairs. I test cameras, speakers, buttons and signal with you before I hand it back.
Every repair carries a 90-day warranty on my work.
Yes — always. And if the verdict is that the repair isn’t worth doing, that answer costs you nothing either. I’d rather earn the call next time than a fee you regret this time.
Yes. The quote you get is one flat total — part, labor and travel — before I set off. Nothing is added afterwards, ever.
Because phones are built two different ways. Models with a removable back panel are a quick, cheap swap. Models where the glass is bonded to the frame have to be broken out and cleared first, which is slower and needs more care. Your model decides which one you’re holding.
Sometimes the sticker is close to mine — the shops there do fine work. The difference is the rest of it: two round trips, the wait, and your afternoon. My travel fee is $15–$35 and you never leave the house. Most people doing the full math call that a win.
No. I’m on the road 8am to 10pm every day and the price table doesn’t change with the clock. Evening and weekend repairs are normal repairs here.
You hear it from me first, and the diagnosis costs you nothing. Telling you not to spend the money is part of the job — not a sales tactic.
