Cracked iPad in Barrie? The Only Place That Fixes It Before Your Kid Notices It’s Missing

Let’s talk about parenting in Barrie, 2020s edition:

You work, you play, you survive the Dunlop Street detour, and you do it all with an iPad in hand. Not for you—of course not, you’re a responsible adult! (Okay, sometimes for Wordle in the bathroom. We get it.)
But mostly, the iPad is the electronic babysitter, the “just one more show” peacemaker, the holy grail of keeping your kids quiet while you try to drink a coffee while it’s still hot.

And then… it happens.
That “whoops” sound. The unmistakable slap of glass against tile. A pause in the chaos so complete, even the family dog looks guilty.
You walk in. The iPad is face-down.
Time stands still.

You pray it’s just the case.
It’s not.
You pick it up, and the screen is now a modern art masterpiece—“Spiderweb After Breakfast.”
Your kid says, “It wasn’t me!” before you even ask.

What now? Barrie parents, you need a miracle—and you need it before Paw Patrol hour.

How to Hide the Damage and the Evidence

You know the rules.
Don’t let them see you panic. Don’t let them know it’s broken. If you have to, stash the iPad in a “charging” drawer, fake a software update, or blame Apple.
Text us your situation, and we’ll play along.

We’re not here to judge, we’re here to help. We fix so many iPads, we could run a “Cracked Screen Hall of Fame” down at City Hall.

TOP 5 IPAD KID EXCUSES

(Stealth Mode Parent Survival Guide – Print and Keep in Your Wallet)

  1. “It just fell by itself!”
    Gravity in Barrie is extra strong. Especially on Mondays.
  2. “I think the dog did it.”
    Shoutout to Barrie’s Labradors and Golden Retrievers for taking the blame for every electronics mishap.
  3. “I only touched it a little!”
    Also used for broken Christmas ornaments, vases, and their sibling’s LEGO tower.
  4. “It was like that when I got here.”
    Did you adopt the iPad from a shelter, or…?
  5. “It’s just a little crack. I can still see Blippi.”
    Honestly, this is how 90% of iPads live out their retirement years.

Why Barrie Parents Secretly Love Us

You’re not the only one sneaking broken iPads out during hockey practice or “errands.” Our front door is a who’s who of frazzled local parents whispering, “Can you fix it before dinner?”
We’ve patched iPads covered in jam, stickers, ketchup (we hope), and one that looked like it had a run-in with a s’mores campfire.
We once found a Goldfish cracker in a charging port.
Pro tip: Goldfish are not conductive.

Local Pro Moves (The ‘I Meant To Do That’ Edition)

  • Fake a software update:
    “Sorry, honey, Apple’s just making it better… It’ll be ready after gymnastics.”
  • Schedule pick-up at dismissal:
    We’ll have it ready before your kid hits the school bus.
  • Use the backup iPad Mini:
    You know, the one with the battery that dies every seven minutes. Desperate times, right?
  • Bribe with a BeaverTail.
    Kids will forget everything for fried dough and sugar.

Repair Process: Barrie’s Fastest iPad Fix

  1. Drop-off, text, or secret handoff in the Zehrs lot. We don’t ask questions.
  2. Free, judgment-free diagnosis. We’ve seen it all. (If you tell us a good story, we might give you a discount.)
  3. Up-front pricing. No upcharges for “mystery goo.”
  4. Repairs in a few hours. Sometimes faster than your coffee gets cold.
  5. Optional: We’ll wipe off all the fingerprints so it’s “like new.”

What Does It Cost?

  • Screen replacements: $125–$500+, depending on the iPad’s drama level
  • Battery, charging port, home button: $120–$225
  • Quotes: Always free. Stories: Always appreciated.

  • Same-day service is real—especially if you call before noon.
  • Kids don’t have to know. Partners don’t have to know. The family dog… still might get blamed.
