Marc has always done an amazing job for me. I have had several screen repairs, batteries replaced and general repairs, completed over the years and they are always done well. I will definitely be back.
For most phones, battery replacement takes under 2 hours. Seriously — you can drop it off, run a few errands, and come back to a freshly charged, non-wall-hugging device. If I have the battery in stock, it’s quick. If not, I can usually get it in within a day or two. Now, if you have a rare phone made for five people in a back alley in China... I’ll do my best, but you might have to be a little patient while I hunt one down.
If your battery drains faster than a toddler's juice box, it might be time. Look out for signs like:
Your phone randomly powers off at 20% (rude).
It only turns on while charging.
The battery percentage jumps around like it’s possessed.
The back of your phone is puffier than a marshmallow.
You charge it three times a day but still can’t make it to dinner.
These are all signs your battery is waving a little white flag.
I use high-quality, reliable batteries that I’ve personally tested and trust. For many models, I can source genuine OEM batteries, especially for popular phones like iPhones and Samsung Galaxy models. If you’re set on official genuine-only, I can sometimes get them shipped in from overseas — just know it’ll take longer (think shipping delays) and the price will be considerably higher. You’re basically paying for brand-name bragging rights at that point.
For most people, the high-grade aftermarket batteries I use perform just as well, cost less, and come with a warranty. I don’t use anything sketchy — if it’s not safe, tested, and long-lasting, it doesn’t touch your phone. Period.
Unless your phone is basically running Windows 95, replacing the battery is almost always cheaper and faster than buying a new one. A new battery can make your phone feel like new again — snappy, longer-lasting, and less likely to embarrass you with a surprise shutdown mid-text. Why drop $1,200 on a new phone when a $75–$150 battery swap gives you the same result?
Yup! You get a 1-year warranty on most battery replacements. That covers any unusual performance issues, like the battery going from 100% to 3% in five minutes or randomly combusting (kidding — that never happens). That said, batteries are consumables, and some normal degradation over time is expected. If you're a casual user, expect 10–15% loss per year. If you're Kylie, your teenage daughter who lives on FaceTime and charges her phone during math class... you'll see 20%+ by next Christmas. That’s not a defect — that’s just teenage battery abuse.
Absolutely. I fix tablet and iPad batteries all the time. If your iPad only works when it’s plugged in — or if it’s slower than your uncle’s dial-up — odds are the battery’s toast. I’ll crack it open, give it new life, and you’ll be back to scrolling, sketching, and babysitting via Netflix in no time.
No problem. I can usually order it in quickly — sometimes same-day or next-day depending on the model. Now, if your phone was made for a niche llama-herding market in rural Asia, it might take a little longer. But I’ll do my best. I’ve tracked down batteries for some truly bizarre devices. If it exists, I can probably get it.
Yes — in more ways than you think. A dying battery doesn’t just drain fast, it also throttles your phone’s speed. Replacing it can make everything feel snappier: faster app launches, smoother scrolling, and less overheating. If your phone’s been lagging lately, don’t blame the software update — it’s probably the battery throwing a tantrum in the background.
Nope. If your phone is puffing up like a microwaved burrito, stop using it and bring it in immediately. Swollen batteries are dangerous. They can damage your screen, push components out of place, and in rare cases — explode. Not worth the risk. I’ll swap it for a safe, non-threatening battery that doesn’t look like it’s plotting something.
I work on most major brands, including iPhone, Samsung, Google Pixel, Huawei, Motorola, LG, OnePlus, and others. Got something weird? Bring it in. I’ve probably seen it before. And if I haven’t, I’ll figure it out — I’m weirdly good at tech puzzles.
