Three things move the price of an iPhone repair in Sterling, VA. Your model, because an iPhone 8 LCD costs far less than a current Pro Max OLED. The panel type, because OLED costs more than LCD. And whether the drop also broke a camera, a sensor or the frame.
Two faults are never priced at the counter for an iPhone repair in Sterling, VA. Liquid damage and Face ID failures go on the bench first, because nobody can quote those honestly without opening the phone. We come back to you with a figure and a timeline, and nothing is replaced until you say yes.
If a part is not on our shelf we order it, and it usually lands in 4 to 7 business days. We finish the repair the same day it arrives or the next.
Cheap iPhone Screen Repair Sterling VA: What a Low Price Actually Buys
The cheapest iPhone repair in Sterling, VA is not always the one that lasts. A cheap iPhone screen repair Sterling VA shoppers find advertised well below our price is usually a low grade aftermarket panel with two steps skipped. Knowing which two steps saves you a second repair later.
Step one: the Face ID transfer
Your dot projector and flood illuminator live inside the old screen assembly and have to be moved across to the new one. Skip that step and Face ID stops working permanently, because those parts cannot be re-paired afterwards by anyone except Apple.
Step two: True Tone pairing
The calibration data sits on your original display. Without the right trade tools the True Tone toggle simply disappears from Settings and never comes back.
We do both steps on every screen job, and we fit high quality panels that match the original brightness and refresh rate. That is the difference between our price and the number on a handwritten sign. The technical detail on panel grades and calibration sits on our iPhone repair service page.
Every iPhone Problem We Fix at the Sterling Counter
iPhone repair in Sterling, VA covers far more than cracked glass. Below is what people actually walk in with.
An iPhone repair in Sterling, VA at our counter can mean screens, batteries, back glass, charging ports, cameras, speakers, microphones, buttons or Face ID modules, and we diagnose iPhones that will not power on at all.
iPhone Screen Repair Sterling VA
Cracked glass, a black screen after a drop, dead spots where typing does not register, colored lines across the display, or ghost touch tapping on its own. An iPhone screen replacement Sterling VA walk-in usually takes under an hour, and you keep your original Face ID parts and your battery health number.
iPhone Battery Replacement Sterling VA
If your iPhone shuts down at 30 percent, runs warm doing nothing, or shows a Service message in Battery Health, the cell is worn out. Check Settings, then Battery, then Battery Health and Charging. Below 80 percent means replacement time.
Swollen batteries are different. If the screen is lifting away from the frame or the back has bowed, stop charging the phone and bring it in rather than leaving it plugged in overnight. Model detail sits on our iPhone battery replacement guide, and other brands on our Sterling battery replacement page.
iPhone Back Glass Repair Sterling VA
Back glass is bonded to the frame with industrial adhesive, so it cannot be peeled off. We remove the broken glass and bond a new panel to your existing frame, which keeps your original chassis, buttons and wireless charging coil. That is far cheaper than a full housing swap.
People put this off because the phone still works. The reason to deal with it is that a cracked back keeps shedding glass, and once a shard reaches the camera lens you are paying for two repairs instead of one.
iPhone Charging Port Repair Sterling VA
If your iPhone only charges at one angle, charges slowly, or has stopped charging altogether, the port is usually packed with pocket lint or the connector pins are worn. Sometimes cleaning is all it needs. When the fault sits on the logic board instead, that board-level work happens here on our own bench rather than at a depot.
iPhone Camera Repair Sterling VA
Blurry photos, a black Camera app, a rattling autofocus, or a cracked rear lens cover. The outer lens glass and the camera module are priced separately, and on Pro models with three lenses we can replace a single module rather than the whole unit.
iPhone Face ID Repair Sterling VA
Face ID failures split into two types, and the difference matters before you pay anyone. A screen repair done elsewhere that skipped the transfer step is not recoverable. A damaged flex cable or a fault in the dot projector assembly often is, and that repair is micro-soldering work we do in house. We test the phone first and tell you honestly which one you have.
iPhone Speaker Repair Sterling VA
Callers cannot hear you, the earpiece sounds muffled, or music from the bottom speaker crackles. We test the earpiece, the loudspeaker and every microphone channel to find the failed part instead of replacing everything.
iPhone Water Damage Repair Sterling VA: Bring It In Today
This is the one iPhone repair in Sterling, VA where the clock matters most. Bring a wet iPhone in today rather than tomorrow, because corrosion starts forming on the logic board within minutes and gets worse every hour the phone sits. Do not put it in rice and do not try to charge it. Power it off and drive it over.
iPhone water damage repair Sterling VA work takes 24 to 48 hours, and that is not a delay we can shorten. The board has to be cleaned ultrasonically, dried, inspected under magnification, then tested component by component before we know what the water actually killed. The price comes after that testing, not before.
Two honest limits. We cannot guarantee that a liquid damaged iPhone will be recovered, and we cannot guarantee data recovery. Sometimes corrosion has already spread too far, and we will tell you that instead of charging for a repair that will not hold.
Liquid damaged devices are excluded from our 30-day warranty. Water damage is unpredictable and a fault can resurface weeks later from corrosion nobody could see. We would rather say that at the counter than argue about it afterwards.
How Long a Repair Takes and What You Do While You Wait
Most iPhone repair in Sterling, VA is finished the same day, often while you wait, and many jobs take under an hour. Same day iPhone repair Sterling VA is realistic for screens, batteries, ports, cameras and speakers. It is not realistic for liquid damage, or for a model whose part we have to order.
Walk in iPhone repair Sterling VA works like this. You come in during opening hours, we look at the phone at the counter, we tell you the price and the timeline, and you decide. Nothing is opened until you say yes.
Most people wait in the shop. Others drop the phone off and we call the moment it is ready. Ring (703) 594-9339 before you drive over and we will tell you whether your exact model screen is on the shelf.
Apple Phone Repair Sterling VA or a Drive to the Apple Store?
The two nearest Apple Stores are Tysons Corner and Fair Oaks, both a drive out of Loudoun County, and both work to a booked Genius Bar appointment. Apple phone repair Sterling VA customers mostly choose us to avoid that trip and that wait, and iPhone repair in Sterling, VA means no booking screen to work through. There are also three differences worth knowing before you decide.
- You keep the same phone. On some models Apple resolves damage by swapping the whole device, which means a new serial number and a battery health reading reset to 100 percent.
- You keep your battery health figure. If your iPhone reads 87 percent before our screen repair, it reads 87 percent after.
- Your device stays in Sterling. Board-level and micro-soldering work happens on our bench, not at a depot in another state.
One honest caveat that can save you money. If your iPhone is still inside Apple's one-year warranty or an AppleCare plan, check that before paying anyone, using Apple's coverage checker and your serial number. We are an independent repair shop, not an Apple authorized service provider, so manufacturer warranty work is not something we can process, and we do not have access to Apple genuine parts. We fit high quality replacement parts and tell you exactly what is going into your phone.

What Sterling Customers Say
EXCELLENT Based on 433 reviews Posted on Arshad SyedTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Great experience with laptop repair!Posted on BeeTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Took in my tablet in recently to replace the glass screen, and wasn't able to pick it up right away after repairs were completed. They were good enough to hold onto it, knowing my financial situation, for at least two months. I did have to check in, so they'd know I hadn't abandoned it, which I found to be an understandable condition. When I did finally pick it up, I had no issues with the finished product. Further, I have used PC Mobile for tablet repairs over at least the past 6 years at the recommendation of a T-Mobile employee and have never had an issue with them. They know what they're doing, and have been fair with me from the start. I'd recommend them to anyone who asked for a good electronics repair business.Posted on Dana KappelTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I just got back from getting my phone screen fixed and had such a great experience! They were able to fix my broken screen in less than an hour, and it looks perfect. The staff is very professional, efficient, and helpful, and the pricing is hard to beat. Would highly recommend!Posted on Celia FriedmanTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I needed the charging port replaced on an old tablet. PC mobile was able to track down the right part and make the repair.Posted on Kylie MurphyTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Love this place so much, such kind people here so welcoming. Always my first place i’ll go to get my phone fixed.Posted on Jonathan WilsonTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I brought in a motherboard for my Fractal AX-8 unit. The pins on the USB unit had bent rendering that component useless. The guys at PC Mobile were able to solder on a new component onto the board quickly and professionally. I am very please with the work and service.
Frequently Asked Questions About iPhone Repair in Sterling
More answers are on our FAQs page.
How much does iPhone repair cost in Sterling, VA?
iPhone repair in Sterling, VA starts from $89 for a screen, $69 for a battery or back glass, and $49 to $79 for camera or speaker work. Your model and the extent of the damage decide the final figure. Face ID faults and liquid damage are quoted after bench testing, because nobody can price those honestly without opening the phone.
Do I need an appointment for iPhone repair?
No. Walk in during opening hours and we look at your phone at the counter. There is no booking system. Calling ahead on (703) 594-9339 is still useful if you want us to check your model screen is in stock.
How long does an iPhone screen repair take?
Most screens are done the same day, often while you wait, and many are finished in under an hour. Pro Max models and repairs that also need sensor work take longer. We give you the timeline at the counter before we start.
Will Face ID still work after a screen replacement?
Yes, when the repair is done correctly. Your original Face ID dot projector and flood illuminator move from the old screen to the new one on every iPhone X and newer. We test Face ID before you take the phone home.
Do you repair water damaged iPhones?
Yes, and the work takes 24 to 48 hours because the board has to be cleaned and tested before we know what failed. We cannot guarantee that a liquid damaged iPhone will be recovered, and we cannot guarantee data recovery. Liquid damaged devices are also excluded from our 30-day warranty.
What happens if you do not have my iPhone part in stock?
We tell you before any work starts and order it in, which takes 4 to 7 business days to arrive. You keep your phone in the meantime unless it is already unusable. Nothing is ordered until you have agreed the price.
Should I drive to the Apple Store at Tysons or Fair Oaks instead?
If your iPhone is still under Apple's warranty or an AppleCare plan, check that first, because we cannot process manufacturer warranty work as an independent shop. Outside of that, staying local saves you the drive out of Loudoun County and the appointment wait.
What warranty do I get on an iPhone repair in Sterling?
Every iPhone repair in Sterling, VA carries 30 days on parts and labor. If the part we fitted or the work itself is not right within that window, bring the phone back and we will sort it. Liquid damaged devices are the one exclusion.
