Let’s play a game called “What’s Cheaper Than a New iPad?”
Spoiler: Almost everything.
But if you’ve ever seen Apple’s out-of-warranty repair prices, you’d swear they’re charging by the pixel. And yet, here you are in Barrie, clutching an iPad that looks like it went ten rounds with a weed whacker.
The kid says, “It just fell.” The cat says nothing. You say words we can’t print. Now what?
Barrie, Where “Affordable” Isn’t Just a Realtor’s Word
Picture this:
You pop into a fancy mall kiosk. The kid behind the counter says, “Sure, I can fix it—for the price of a weekend at Horseshoe Resort.”
You walk away, clutching your cracked iPad and your wallet, both a little worse for wear.
Good news: It doesn’t have to be that way.
Here’s how Barrie locals get their iPads fixed without taking out a second mortgage.
Step One: Go Local or Go Broke
Barrie’s tech scene isn’t just “some guy in his garage.” (Okay, sometimes it is, but that guy is really good with screens.)
- Local repair shops = human prices.
We’re talking $120–$500 for most iPad screen replacements. Not cheap-cheap, but not “should I sell my car?” expensive, either.
- No guilt trips, no lectures.
Drop your iPad, drop your pride. We don’t judge. We’ve seen worse (trust us).
- Fast turnaround.
You’ll get it back before you start missing all your apps (or before your toddler realizes they’re not getting Paw Patrol tonight).
What to Expect (Besides a Friendly Face and Maybe a Dad Joke)
- Diagnosis that doesn’t cost a dime.
We check your iPad for free. Sometimes the “screen” problem is really a battery issue (or “mystery goo” in the charging port).
- Clear, up-front pricing.
No “environmental surcharges,” or “surprise” add-ons. If it changes, it’s because we found something unexpected—and we’ll ask before we touch it.
- Honest advice.
If your iPad is beyond saving, we’ll tell you (gently). If it’s worth fixing, we’ll fix it. If not, you’ll know before you spend a cent.
- Quick repairs.
Most iPads are done in 1-3 days sometimes before you finish shopping at Zehrs.
- A real warranty.
If something goes wrong with your repair, you’ll deal with the same people who fixed it—not an anonymous “support” AI robot.
But What If I Want to Fix It Myself?
By all means—watch those YouTube videos and try. Just be prepared for the “why is my screen rainbow-coloured?” moment.
If you get stuck (or glue your finger to the battery), bring it in. We never judge, but we do laugh with you (not at you).
Why We Keep Prices Reasonable
- We know iPads are everywhere in Barrie. (We fix so many, our kids think “screen replacement” is a school subject.)
- We’re local, so we see you at Timmies, the library, or dodging geese at Johnson’s Beach. Reputation matters.
- We want you to tell your friends (especially the ones who keep dropping their tablets at the Allandale Rec Centre).
FAQ: Because We Know You’ll Ask
Q: Can you fix it today?
A: Most times, yes! Drop it off, grab a coffee, and come back.
Q: Is the repair as good as Apple’s?
A: Yes—unless you’re entering it in a beauty contest. We use quality parts and warranty all our work.
Q: Will you clean the glitter off?
A: We’ll try. But next time, maybe go easy on the arts and crafts.
Q: Do I need an appointment?
A: Walk-ins welcome! If you call first, we’ll high-five you (virtually).
