How it works

Mobile repair. Fast. Easy. No hassle.

We come to you!

  1. Mobile tech picks up your device

    We meet you curbside at your home, your office, or a spot like a Starbucks, anywhere in the Austin metro area.

  2. Free diagnostic

    We inspect your device and give you a clear repair quote, free of charge.

  3. We repair it

    Our technician repairs your device using quality parts. In-stock screens and batteries are usually done the same day.

  4. Return it to you

    We bring your fixed device back to you, curbside. If we don't fix it, you don't pay. No fix, no pay.

Good to know

  • Curbside, never inside

    Technicians do curbside pickups, and drop-offs after service. We don't enter residences. Meet us at home, at the office, or at a coffee shop or other public spot.

  • Same day for common fixes

    Common repairs, like in-stock screen or battery replacements, are generally done the same day. Most other services are usually a 24 to 48 hour turnaround.

  • Pest-free devices only

    To protect our equipment and other customers' devices, we can't take in devices with signs of insects or droppings. If we spot any at pickup, we'll hand it right back, no charge. Why?

  • 90-day warranty

    Repair work and parts are warrantied for 90 days. The warranty doesn't cover physical damage after the service is done: if you drop your phone again, that's not covered. Liquid-damage repairs are best effort, with no warranty.

      Common questions

      How much does a phone screen repair cost?

      It depends on the phone and the part, so every repair starts with a free diagnostic and a clear quote before any paid work. If you decline the quote you owe nothing, and if we can't fix it, you don't pay.

      How long does a screen or battery replacement take?

      Common repairs like in-stock screen and battery replacements are generally done the same day. Most other repairs take 24 to 48 hours.

      Do you come to me?

      Yes. Damage Control is a mobile repair service: a technician picks up your device curbside at your home, your office or a public spot like a coffee shop anywhere in the Austin metro area, and brings it back after the repair. We don't enter residences.

      Which devices do you repair?

      Phones (iPhone, Samsung Galaxy, Google Pixel and more), iPads and other tablets, laptops including MacBooks, game consoles like PlayStation 5, Xbox and Nintendo Switch, controllers, and drones.

      What repairs do you do?

      Cracked screen repair, battery replacement, charging port repair, HDMI port repair for consoles, devices that won't turn on, overheating, water damage and more.

      Is there a warranty?

      Yes. Parts and work are warrantied for 90 days from the day we return your device. The warranty doesn't cover new physical damage after the repair, like dropping your phone again. Repairs on liquid-damaged devices are best effort and carry no warranty.

      Do you buy used phones and devices?

      Yes. Send us the details for a fast offer. Phones and tablets need a clean IMEI (fully paid off), can't be reported lost or stolen or be iCloud-locked or activation-locked, and should be signed out of Find My or your Google account.

      Do you need my passcode?

      We may ask you to remove your unlock code or share it so we can test the repair. A shared code is purged from our system once the repair is complete. Please never put it in a form, email or text; we'll ask at pickup.

      What areas do you serve?

      The Austin metro area, including Austin, Round Rock, Cedar Park, Pflugerville, Georgetown, Leander, Lakeway, Bee Cave, Kyle, Buda, Manor and Hutto, Texas.

      Repair terms, the short version

      • Free diagnostic. You get a quote before any paid work, and owe nothing if you decline. No fix, no pay.
      • Back up your data. Repairs and resets can erase it, and we aren't responsible for data loss.
      • Your unlock code. We may ask you to remove it or share it with us for the repair. A shared code is purged from our system once the repair is complete. Never put it in a form, email or text: we'll ask at pickup.
      • Damage it already has. Opening a device can expose or worsen existing damage (cracks, liquid, swollen batteries, earlier repairs). We aren't responsible for those failures. Liquid-damaged repairs carry no warranty.
      • Payment is due when we return your device. Can't or would rather not pay for a finished repair? We'll take our parts back out and return your device as close as we can to how you gave it to us.
      • 90-day warranty on our parts and work. New drops, cracks and liquid damage aren't covered.
      • Unclaimed devices. Arrange the return within 30 days of our “it's ready” message, or a $5/day storage fee may apply. After 75 days and a final notice, an unclaimed device is considered abandoned and may be recycled or sold once we erase it.
      • Pest-free devices only. We can't accept devices with signs of pests (insects, eggs or droppings). They're returned unrepaired, at no charge.
      • Curbside only. We meet you outside and never enter your home.

      Selling terms, the short version

      • It's yours to sell. You own it (or may sell it), you're 18 or older, and it isn't stolen, reported, blacklisted or locked to an account.
      • Clean IMEI. Fully paid off: no carrier financing, installment plan, lease or balance owed.
      • Unlocked from you. Not iCloud-locked or activation-locked; Find My turned off and signed out of iCloud (or your Google account on Android).
      • Our offer is an estimate. The final price is set when we inspect the device in person.
      • We may ask for photo ID and keep a record of the sale.
      • Your data. Sign out of your accounts (Find My, Google), remove SIM and memory cards, and erase it. We aren't responsible for data left on it.
      • Pest-free devices only. We can't buy a device with signs of pests.
      • Final once paid. If it turns out to be stolen, financed, blacklisted or locked, you refund us in full.

      Pest-free devices only

      Insects such as roaches sometimes take shelter inside electronics, especially warm ones like game consoles, cable boxes and laptops. It can happen in any home, and it's nothing to be embarrassed about.

      • Why we're strict. Even a single insect or a few eggs can spread to our tools, our workspace and other customers' devices, and contamination can damage repair equipment.
      • Our policy. We don't accept or work on devices with signs of pests: live or dead insects, eggs, droppings or nesting material. They never come into our repair area.
      • What happens. We take a quick look before accepting a device. If we see signs of pests, we hand it right back; if they turn up once it's opened, we close it up and return it unrepaired.
      • No charge. You pay nothing for a device we turn away for this reason.

      Once a device has been professionally cleaned and the source treated, we may be able to take it, at our discretion. The policy in our terms (opens in a new tab).
