Best place for iPhone 7 screen repair in Melbourne?

Ljoed on 23/12/2019 - 19:55

Hi all,

Today my son tripped with his phone in his hand. Long story short being the screen on his iPhone 7 is pretty shattered (unfortunately the nuglas screen protector didn't save it as it must have fell right on the corner edge).

A call to Apple today was a quote of about $220 which I thought was a bit much. I have been reading some mixed reviews of third party repairs but hoping people can recommend a repairer in Melbourne.

Any specific things I should look for or ask? Hoping to get it repaired as soon as possible.

Thanks in advance

    Ask how long their warranty is for parts and labour.

    I haven't used them but EB Games offers a 'Reboot' service where one fixed price will cover all the known faults you mention to them. For the iPhone 7 they will repair everything for $139 with a 3 month warranty:

    No idea how long they'll take to repair a phone, they will likely send it off to some national/HQ location so it could take a few weeks. If you want a quicker turnaround and likely done cheaper (without the brand recognition and maybe a warranty) try your local mobile phone store - the ones in the middle of your local shopping centre who sell phone covers and cases.

    It all depends what part of town you are in but I have had good service from the phone repair shop in the Forest Hill Chase shopping centre (sorry, cannot remember what they are called). Right next to the food court, very prompt and good value

    As you probably know a third party will void any ability to get anything fixed by apple.

    That being said I got my phone screen fixed by dr boom at southland. You had to buy a phone cover and a screen protector to get the screen replaced free and it has a warranty on the screen. Cost about $130 but I think the minimum I could pay was $100 but the warranty on the screen sold me. Obviously they inflate the cover and protector to also pay for the screen as all the covers are like $60

    The screen protector however is a bit sticky with the keys. If I was to type quickly it feels like I make more errors than before.
