Phone repair in Honesdale
I come to you. Screens, batteries, charging ports and back glass, fixed at your door in Honesdale and across Wayne County.
The nearest counter is half an hour away
That is the whole problem with getting a phone fixed in Honesdale. There is no repair counter in town. The closest ones are a half-hour drive — Carbondale over the hill, or the Dickson City strip on the far side of Scranton.
So the real cost of a cracked screen up here is not the screen. It is the better part of a day: drive out, hand the phone over, drive home without it, wait for the call, drive back. Two round trips down Route 6 for a short stretch of actual work.
I do the driving instead. I set up in my vehicle outside your house or your work, fix it while you carry on, and hand it back before I leave. You never go anywhere and you are never without the phone.
What it costs to come out here
| Travel to Honesdale & Wayne County | $45 |
| Screen replacement | from $125 |
| Battery replacement | from $120 |
| Charging port clean & check | from $35 |
| Back glass | from $115 |
| Diagnosis | always free |
Honesdale sits about 32 miles out, which is the 20 to 35 mile band. The $45 is charged once per visit, never per phone — two phones in the same house and you pay it once. $50 is the most travel will ever be, anywhere I go.
You get one flat total before I leave Scranton. Nothing is added at the door.
The rest of the county is the same trip
Hawley, Waymart, White Mills, Bethany, Beach Lake, Lake Ariel and the Wallenpaupack shore are all inside the same run. If you are up on the lake for the summer and a screen goes, that is a normal job for me, not a special one.
Worth knowing if you are booking for a house with more than one phone in it, or if a neighbor needs something looked at the same day — the travel fee only gets paid once.
What I fix
Cracked screens are the most common call, and the cheapest moment to fix one is before the crack reaches the touch layer. Batteries are the repair people put off longest and regret least. Charging ports are the one where the answer is often a $35 clean rather than a repair at all. And back glass costs very different amounts depending on the model.
iPhone 8 through 17 Pro Max, Samsung Galaxy A and S series, Google Pixel. Price is by model, not a flat rate — check yours in the booking tool and you get the real number before I set off.
Before you buy a new phone, check the port
The single most common call I get is a phone that has stopped charging, or that only charges if you hold the cable at an angle. Most people assume the port has failed. Most of the time it has not.
What has usually happened is that pocket lint has compacted into the bottom of the port, packed a little further every time the cable went in, until the connector can no longer seat. The port is fine. It is just full.
That is a $35 clean and about ten minutes, not a port replacement from $115 — and it is worth trying yourself before you call anyone. Power the phone off and clear it gently with a wooden toothpick. If that fixes it, you have saved the whole job and the travel with it.
How it works
Tell me what broke
Your phone, the problem, your town. Two taps and you get a price with the $45 travel already in it.
I drive out
Home, work, the lake house, wherever is easiest. Free diagnosis when I arrive — and if it is not worth fixing you hear that before I start.
Fixed at your door
An iPhone screen or battery is usually fixed in 30 to 60 minutes after I get to you; other phones and repairs can take longer. I test every function with you before I hand it back.
One person turns up — and it's always me
No call center, no rotating technicians, no phone vanishing into a back room. The person who quotes you is the person who does the repair, and the person you text if something isn't right six months later.
Questions, answered
Do you really come out to Honesdale?
Yes. Honesdale is about 32 miles from Scranton on Route 6, which puts it in the 20 to 35 mile band. Travel is $45, charged once per visit, and the diagnosis is free.
How much is the travel fee to Honesdale?
$45. That is the 20 to 35 mile band and it is charged once per visit, never per phone. If two phones in the same house need doing, you pay the $45 once.
Do you cover the rest of Wayne County?
Yes. Hawley, Waymart, White Mills, Bethany, Beach Lake, Lake Ariel and the Lake Wallenpaupack shore are all inside the run. Wayne County is one of the six counties I cover.
Why would I not just drive to Scranton?
You can. It’s about 40 minutes each way, twice, plus the wait in between — and you spend most of that day without the phone. The $45 buys that back. Whether it’s worth it is your call, and I’ll tell you honestly if it isn’t.
My phone stopped charging. Does that mean a new port?
Usually not. Nine times out of ten it’s compacted pocket lint, and that is a $35 clean rather than a port replacement from $115. You’ll hear which one it is before you pay anything.
What if it turns out not to be worth fixing?
Then I tell you, and the diagnosis still costs nothing. I may make a cash offer for the phone instead. At 32 miles I’d still rather lose the job than sell you a repair on a phone that isn’t worth it.
