Here is how pricing works at RAD Gadget Repair: diagnosis is free, you get an exact figure before anything is opened, and that figure does not change. There is no call-out fee anywhere in Lake County and no bench fee if you decide not to go ahead. If you have a written quote from another repair provider in Lake County, bring it and we will beat it.
Why Nobody Can Quote a Screen Without Knowing the Model
Repair shops that advertise one flat screen price are either quoting the cheapest possible panel or they are going to revise the number when you turn up. The part is almost the entire cost of a screen repair, and parts vary enormously:
- Older LCD iPhones (iPhone 8, SE, 11) use a comparatively cheap panel and sit at the bottom of the range.
- OLED iPhones (12 onward, and every Pro and Pro Max) use a far more expensive display, and the Pro Max panels are the most expensive single part we fit.
- Samsung Galaxy screens cost more than most iPhone screens because the OLED panel and the frame are one bonded assembly — you are replacing both. We use original Samsung screens, not aftermarket copies, which is why our Samsung quote sometimes sits above a competitor’s.
- iPads split into two groups: older models where the glass is separate from the LCD, which are relatively cheap, and Air and Pro models with fully laminated displays, which are not.
- Laptop screens depend on panel size, resolution and whether it is a touch display. A standard 15-inch non-touch panel is one of the cheapest repairs we do; a MacBook Retina assembly is one of the dearest.
Repairs With a Published Price
- Phone camera repair — from $75. Rear or front camera module on iPhone, Samsung and Pixel.
- iPhone back glass replacement — from $85. iPhone 8 and newer.
Everything else is quoted against your exact model, because quoting it any other way would be guesswork. Call or text 407-914-2391 with the model and the fault and you get a real number on the phone in under a minute.
Where Repairs Generally Fall
Without pretending to know your model, this is the usual shape of it:
- Least expensive: charging port cleaning (often free when it turns out to be lint), phone and tablet battery replacement, older-model LCD screens, laptop battery, RAM upgrade.
- Middle: most current iPhone and Android screens, iPad glass on older models, laptop screen replacement, SSD upgrade with a full data clone, speaker and microphone work, camera modules.
- Most expensive: Pro and Pro Max OLED panels, laminated iPad Air and Pro displays, MacBook Retina display assemblies, and board-level work after liquid damage.
What Is Always Free
- Diagnosis, including on a device that turns out not to be worth repairing.
- Travel anywhere in Lake County — no call-out fee, no mileage, no “outside the area” surcharge.
- Telling you honestly when a repair costs more than the device is worth. We will say so.
- Checking a charging port for lint before quoting a port replacement. It is lint more often than it is a broken port.
What Is Included in Every Price
- 90 days on parts and labour. If something we fitted fails, we come back out.
- The technician coming to you — your home, your office, wherever suits.
- Testing in front of you before you pay. Touch, Face ID or fingerprint, cameras, speakers, microphone and charging.
- No deposit. You pay at the end, once it works.
How We Keep Prices Below the Chains
There is no storefront. No rent on SR-50, no counter staff, no shop fit-out. That overhead is a large part of what a chain repair counter is charging you for, and we do not have it. It is the whole reason the price-match promise is safe to make.
Is a Repair Worth It at All?
Sometimes not, and we would rather tell you that than take the money. The rough rule: repair when the device is under about four years old, still holds a charge, still gets security updates, and the repair costs less than roughly a third of a comparable replacement. We go through this properly in repair vs replace: is it worth fixing your cracked screen and, for tablets, is it worth repairing a cracked iPad.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do you charge to come out and look at it?
No. Diagnosis and travel are both free anywhere in Lake County, including if you decide not to go ahead with the repair.
Can the price change after you start?
No. The quote is given before the device is opened and it is what you pay. The only time we stop and re-quote is if the device turns out to have been opened and modified by somebody else, and in that case we stop and ask you first rather than carry on and bill you.
Will you really beat another local quote?
Yes, on a written quote from a repair provider in Lake County for the same repair on the same device. Show it at the time of booking.
How much is an iPhone screen replacement?
It depends heavily on the model — an older LCD iPhone is a fraction of a current Pro Max OLED. Call or text 407-914-2391 with your exact model and you will get the real figure straight away. There is more detail in our iPhone screen repair cost guide for Clermont.
Do you take card?
Card, cash, Zelle and Apple Pay, all paid at the end once the repair is tested and you are happy with it.
Is there a warranty?
90 days on parts and labour for every repair, on-site and mail-in alike. We do not advertise a lifetime warranty, because nobody can honestly back one.
