“Apple Store told me my iPhone charging port was unfixable and tried to sell me a new phone. Abobakr replaced the battery and cleaned the port in 30 minutes for a fair price. Saved me a fortune.”

Jen P. The Glebe

“Quick and excellent service. The estimation of the problem was accurate and the price very reasonable. Highly recommend.”

Mark T. Centretown

“Great service by Irene — super friendly and got my Samsung screen replaced before my lunch break was over. Will be back.”

Ahmed K. Sandy Hill

“Amazing service and a great price. Even threw in a free screen protector. These guys actually care about doing the job right.”

Daniel R. Hintonburg

“Walked in for a prepaid SIM activation and walked out connected in under 10 minutes. Easy parking on Bronson too. Solid local spot.”

Lisa M. Little Italy

“Very understanding of my situation and very reasonable on the repair. Honest pricing, no upsell, work backed by a 100-day warranty. The kind of small business you want to support.”

Questions

Good to know before you come in.

Still wondering about something? Text a photo of the damage and we'll tell you straight.

Text us your question
How long does a phone screen repair take?

Most iPhone and Samsung screen replacements take 30 to 60 minutes while you wait. Models with Face ID or an under-display fingerprint sensor can take 1–2 hours so the biometrics keep working.

How much does it cost to fix my phone?

It depends on the model and the part. Text (613) 324-4994 or use the quote form for a free, no-obligation quote — most come back the same business day. Starting prices: charging port from $79, camera from $69, speaker or microphone from $59, back glass from $99, iPad screen from $119 and carrier unlocking from $29.

Do you offer a warranty on repairs?

Yes. Every parts replacement has a 100-day warranty. If the part fails from a defect (not new accidental damage) within 100 days, bring your invoice and we replace it at no charge.

Can you fix a phone that won't turn on or got wet?

Usually, yes. Bring it in for a free diagnostic: no fix, no fee. Common causes are a failed charging port, a swollen battery, liquid damage or a faulty power chip, and we repair all of them in-house, including micro-soldering. If it got wet, turn it off, don't charge it and don't put it in rice — here's why.

Will I lose my photos and data?

Screen, battery, charging port and camera repairs don't touch your data; nothing is wiped. A backup is still a good idea when you can. Data recovery from a dead device is a separate service, quoted after inspection.

Do I need an appointment?

No. Walk-ins are welcome Monday to Saturday at 572 Bronson Avenue. Sending a quote request first lets us set your part aside, so the repair is even faster.

Which devices do you repair?

iPhone, iPad, MacBook, Apple Watch, Samsung Galaxy (including Z Fold and Z Flip), Google Pixel, OnePlus, Motorola, Huawei, Xiaomi and Sony Xperia. If you don't see yours, text us the model.

Can you activate a prepaid SIM or move my number?

Yes. As an Authorised Prepaid Dealer we activate prepaid SIMs and plans, port in your existing number, and handle top-ups and renewals for Public Mobile, Lucky Mobile, Chatr, Fido Prepaid, Koodo Prepaid and more. Most activations are done in minutes.
