I come to you. Screens, batteries, charging ports and back glass, fixed at your door in Moosic.
Most of Lackawanna County gets in the car to come here — for a RailRiders game at PNC Field, for Montage Mountain, for the Shoppes. Moosic is about eight miles south of downtown Scranton and roughly twelve minutes down I-81, and it borders the city at Minooka.
Which makes it slightly absurd that fixing a phone here still means driving somewhere else and leaving it with a stranger for two days.
I come to you instead. Your driveway on Birney Avenue, your workplace car park, wherever you actually are. The repair happens there and you keep the phone.
A lot of Moosic runs on shift patterns and weekend crowds — retail at the Shoppes, game days at the field, the mountain in ski season and again in summer for the water park. None of that leaves a convenient window to drop a phone off and come back for it.
So the visit fits the day rather than the other way around. If you’re on a break, I’ll meet you in the car park. If you’re home between shifts, I’ll come to the house. It takes half an hour to an hour and you don’t lose an evening to it.

One flat total before I set off — repair plus the $25, nothing added afterwards. More than one phone at the same address and you pay travel once.
Cracked screens, and the cheapest time to fix one is before the crack reaches the touch layer. Batteries, which is the repair that makes an older phone feel new for the least money. Charging ports — and if your phone charges only at an angle, that’s usually packed lint and a $35 clean rather than a repair. Back glass, where the price swings hard depending on your exact model.

Moosic · Minooka · Taylor · Avoca · Old Forge · Dupont — the whole southern end of the county is a short run for me, and the travel band is the same $25 across it.
Your phone, the problem, where in Moosic you are. Two taps and you get a price including the travel.
Home, work, a car park — wherever suits the shift. Free diagnosis when I arrive.
Thirty minutes to an hour for most repairs. I run through cameras, speakers, buttons and signal with you before I hand it back.
Yes. Moosic is a short run for me and it’s inside my normal service area, along with Minooka, Taylor, Avoca, Old Forge and Dupont. Travel to Moosic is $25 and the diagnosis is free.
$25. Moosic is about eight miles from downtown Scranton, which puts it in the 5 to 12 mile band. It’s charged once per visit, so two phones at the same address only pay it once.
Yes, and around here that’s often the easiest option. I work out of my own vehicle, so a workplace car park on a break works as well as a driveway does.
Power it off and leave it off. Don’t plug it in to see if it still charges — putting power through a wet charging port is what turns a recoverable phone into a dead one. Don’t use rice. Get it looked at sooner rather than later, because corrosion starts quietly and the port is the lowest point in the phone.
Thirty minutes to an hour for most repairs, and you keep the phone the same visit. Back glass is the exception, because the time depends on how your particular model is built.
You hear that before I start, and the diagnosis still costs nothing. I may make you a cash offer for the phone instead. Telling you not to spend the money is part of the job.
