Cracked screen, battery trouble, a loose charging connection or a phone that will not turn on? Bring it to Gadget Ali for an assessment before deciding on a repair.
We help customers at our Richmond and North Vancouver shops. Tell us the phone model and what happened. We will explain the repair options, estimated cost and expected completion time before you approve the work.
Walk-ins welcome at both locations. If your phone is uncommon or you need it back by a particular time, call the shop first to discuss availability.

Gadget Ali serves Vancouver-area customers through two physical repair locations. You can visit us for walk-in diagnostics, in-person repair support, and clear service estimates without shipping your phone away.
Choose the location that works best for you, or call ahead to confirm availability for your phone model and repair issue.
A symptom does not always point to one failed part. A phone that will not charge may have a cable, port, battery or power issue. Tell us what changed and we will assess the device before recommending work.
Cracked glass, coloured lines, dark areas, flickering and touch problems can involve different parts of the display assembly.
We check the visible damage, touch response and frame condition before explaining the repair option. If the phone was dropped, mention any new camera, sound or charging problem as well.
A battery that drains quickly or a phone that shuts off unexpectedly can be frustrating, but the battery is not always the only possible cause.
Tell us when it happens, whether the device gets unusually warm and whether charging behaviour has changed. We assess those details before recommending a replacement or further checks.
If a cable fits loosely or the phone charges only at a certain angle, the connector needs attention.
If the phone does not charge at all, the problem may also be with the charger, battery or another part of the power system. We check the connection and explain whether cleaning, a part replacement or further diagnostics makes sense.
A phone can appear to work after getting wet while internal problems develop later. Stop charging a wet device and tell us what it was exposed to, when it happened and which functions changed.
An inspection helps establish the condition of the phone and whether repair is practical. We cannot promise that every liquid damaged phone or its data can be recovered.
A black display can look like a dead phone, and a phone that does not power on can have several possible faults.
Let us know if it was dropped, got wet, showed a charging symbol or had trouble before it stopped working. We will assess the problem before discussing repair options and likely limitations.
For a camera problem, tell us which camera is affected and whether the image is blurry, dark or unable to focus.
For sound problems, explain whether you cannot hear calls, other people cannot hear you, or audio fails only on speakerphone. The details help us assess the relevant function before quoting work.
Power and volume controls can stop responding after wear or damage. A drop may also affect the frame or nearby parts.
We inspect the affected area and explain which repair options are available for the model, including anything else that could affect the result.
Slow performance, crashes and restart loops can involve software, hardware or both. Tell us whether the problem started after an update, an app installation or physical damage.
We can assess the next step without treating every performance issue as a parts replacement.
Not sure which repair category fits? Describe the symptom in the estimate form. You do not need to diagnose the phone yourself.
The repair options for a phone depend on its exact model, the fault and the parts available at the shop. Choose a brand below for more focused information, or send us your model if you are unsure where to start.
For iPhone screen, battery, charging, camera and other problems, see our iPhone repair service. The iPhone page covers the brand in more detail; you can also request an estimate for your specific model.
For a Pixel with a screen, battery, charging or camera problem, visit our Google Pixel repair page. Confirm the model and required part before travelling with a newer or less common device.
Galaxy phones vary in display technology, design and replacement parts. See our Samsung phone repair service for the brand specific repair information and tell us the exact Galaxy model when you contact us.
If your phone brand is not listed above, send us the make, exact model and a description of the fault. We can tell you whether an assessment is appropriate and what information or parts need checking before your visit.
These brands may need a model specific parts check. Read our Huawei repair and Sony Xperia repair pages, then contact the shop you plan to visit.
There is no useful single price for every phone screen or battery. The model, the part being quoted and the condition of the device all matter. A phone that will not charge may need a very different repair from another phone with the same symptom.
When comparing quotes, ask what part is included, what work is covered, whether an assessment has a separate charge, and whether tax is included. We explain the proposed repair and estimate before you decide to proceed. If we find another problem during the assessment, the scope should be discussed before additional work begins.
Our phone repair pricing guide explains cost factors in more detail. For an iPhone-specific question, use the iPhone repair cost guide. For your own device, send the model and symptoms to request an estimate.
Walk-ins are welcome. If you have an uncommon model or a tight deadline, contact the chosen location before leaving home.
Completion time depends on the fault, model, parts availability, the work already scheduled at the shop and when you arrive. A straightforward part replacement and a phone with liquid exposure or several faults need different plans. We confirm the expected timing after the phone has been assessed.
If you need the device back today, call the Richmond or North Vancouver shop with your exact model and symptoms before travelling. Our same-day phone repair page explains the conditions that affect same-day availability. For a broader breakdown, read how phone repair time varies by repair type.
You should know what is being repaired, which parts are being considered and what the estimate includes before deciding to proceed.
A charging problem, shutdown or black screen can have more than one cause. We assess the fault before recommending the work.
Ask which part option is available for your model and how it may affect the display, battery or other relevant functions. Availability varies by device.
Confirm the proposed work, the total and whether any additional faults need a separate assessment. We explain the estimate before work begins.
Timing depends on the model, the fault and parts availability. Our same-day phone repair page explains what to check before planning a visit.
Discuss the reported fault and the functions that need checking after the repair. Mention any intermittent problem when leaving the phone with us.
Ask which part or work is covered, the coverage period and any exclusions. Keep the repair record so the team can refer to the work if you need to return.
