Where we serve — Laurel, MS (and nearby)
We focus on in-shop repairs in Laurel and convenient mobile calls nearby. Typical coverage: Laurel city, Ellisville, Hattiesburg corridor, and neighboring communities within ~25 miles. Most repairs are faster when brought to the shop — better tools, more stock, and calibrated equipment.
Service area (examples)
- Laurel (downtown, neighborhoods, malls)
- Jones County towns — Ellisville, Soso
- Portions of Jasper & Forrest counties (by request)
- Special events & business accounts — on-site visits by appointment
Pro tip: for fastest results, bring devices to the shop. Mobile service is great for convenience but in-shop work shortens turnaround and reduces the chance of follow-up issues.

How our repair process works — step-by-step
We aim for transparency. Below is a thorough walkthrough so customers know exactly what will happen at each stage.
1. Booking & contact
Book online (recommended), call, or walk in. Online booking helps us prepare the right parts so we can finish faster.
2. Intake & quick triage
We verify the device, check power-on, note visible damage, and capture photos for records.
3. Diagnostic procedure
Diagnostics include software checks (when possible), battery testing, port voltage checks, and board inspection. Most diagnostics are free or low-cost and result in a written estimate.
4. Estimate & authorization
We provide a clear price for parts, labor, and warranty. No hidden fees. You approve before we start.
5. Repair steps
- Parts pulled from verified stock or ordered from trusted suppliers.
- Repairs performed on ESD-safe benches with calibrated tools.
- Quality checks at intermediate steps (display reflow, connector checks).
- Final test and reassembly with adhesives/seals as required.
6. Final testing and handoff
We test all common functions before handing the device back. You get a receipt and repair details including parts used and warranty information.
7. Aftercare & warranty
All repairs include at least a 90-day warranty on parts and labor. Some parts carry longer manufacturer warranties; we include those details on your receipt.
Pre-repair checklist
- Back up your device (iCloud, Google, local backup).
- Remove SIM / SD cards.
- Turn off Find My iPhone / Factory Reset only if asked.
- Bring proof of ownership for certain repairs (anti-theft policies).
Data privacy

Why modern screens break — real reasons (short & referenced)
Modern phones are thin, have larger glass surfaces, and use delicate edge-sealing adhesives for water resistance. That combination increases drop vulnerability. Independent durability labs and industry reports consistently show cracked screens are the top repair request.
Key causes of screen failure
- Edge impacts: Drops that hit a corner concentrate stress and initiate cracks that propagate across the glass.
- Thin glass and large area: Bigger glass means less structural support for distributed forces.
- Curved & laminated displays: Curved glass and tightly laminated OLED stacks are harder to protect and repair.
- Materials trade-offs: Manufacturers use thinner glass for weight and touch sensitivity, sacrificing break-resistance.
Durability studies show cracked screens frequently top repair data: industry reports indicate roughly 25–42% of repair requests are screen-related depending on the dataset and year; it’s the single most common phone repair type. (Sources include SquareTrade and industry analyses.)
Practical takeaway: a tempered screen protector and a good case with edge protection reduce the chance of an in-shop visit by a large margin — but aren’t foolproof.
Zoomed detail of stress fracture along the corner — this is where most cracks start.
Repair insights — what customers typically bring in
Aggregated service mix and typical turnaround times based on repair shop averages (industry sources: SquareTrade, Insurance journals, repair market reports).
Service mix (approx.)
Estimated split: Screen ~45%, Battery ~25%, Ports & others ~30%.
Turnaround (typical)
Fast jobs (screens, batteries) usually under 90 minutes in-shop; micro-soldering/board-level takes longer.
Troubleshooting: quick checks before you come
Simple steps to try that are safe and can save you a trip. These are non-destructive and meant to help identify the problem quickly.
Not charging?
- Try a different cable & adapter
- Blow debris out of the port (air, not metal)
- Test with a different outlet
- Book a port clean if still failing
Phone won't power on?
- Force restart (model-specific)
(To Force restart try pressing vol up, vol down, Hold side Button or Hold vol up & power button) - Try charging for 15–30 minutes
- Test with a computer USB port
- Book diagnostics for battery/board issues (Free)
Cracked screen?
- Do not press the glass — fragments can damage the display
- Bring it in — many screens replaced same-day
- Consider a privacy-tempered protector after repair
