workshop — not a mall kiosk

A broken phone is rarely just inconvenient — it's the device most people genuinely can't function without for a day. iFix Electronics has been the Central Coast's specialist phone repair workshop for 16 years, operating from a fixed shopfront at 3/221 The Entrance Road in Erina. Not a mall kiosk, not a roving van, not a home garage operation. A real workshop with proper test gear, board-level diagnostic tools, microsoldering equipment, and the parts stock to turn most repairs around the same day.

Brands we repair

iPhoneiPhone 6 through 17 Pro Max
Samsung GalaxyS, Note, A, Z Fold & Flip
Google PixelPixel 3 through 9 Pro Fold
OnePlusMost current and recent models
OppoFind, Reno and A series
XiaomiRedmi, Mi, Poco

If your phone isn't on the list, call us anyway — we routinely fix devices from brands that aren't part of the headline lineup. The exception is the very newest flagship releases where parts haven't reached the aftermarket yet; we'll be straight with you if that's the case.

Why a workshop, not a kiosk

Most phone repair on the Central Coast is done at a kiosk in a shopping centre — a folding table, a heat plate, a suction cup, and a tray of screens. That works fine for a straightforward screen swap on a common model. It doesn't work for anything that fails at the board level: a phone that boots but won't charge, a screen replacement that still has touch issues afterwards, a water-damaged phone that won't power on, or a logic-board fault that needs component-level diagnosis.

Our Erina workshop runs a microscope station, hot-air rework gear, microsoldering equipment, schematic and boardview software for current iPhone and Samsung models, and a programmable DC bench supply for current-limited fault finding. The work the kiosks can't do — the jobs they tell you are "unrepairable" so you'll buy a new phone — is what we built this workshop to do.

What we fix

Screen replacement

Cracked glass, dead pixels, touch dropping out, backlight gone. iPhone, Samsung, Pixel and most other brands — OEM-quality panels with a 12-month warranty. Same-day turnaround on most models in stock.

Battery replacement

Battery health dropped below 80%, random shutdowns under load, won't hold charge through the day. New batteries (never refurbished) with a 12-month warranty, fitted same day on most models.

Charge port repair

Cable won't seat properly, only charges at certain angles, slow charging. Usually pocket lint compaction or a worn port — we clean, diagnose, and replace the port assembly if it's worn beyond repair.

Water damage

Dropped in the pool, washing machine, ocean, toilet. Do not turn the phone on or plug it in — corrosion starts the moment fresh water gets to the board. Bring it in straight away for ultrasonic cleaning and board-level repair.

Back glass replacement

Cracked back panel on iPhone 8 onwards or any modern Samsung/Pixel. We replace the glass without compromising wireless charging or the camera lens cluster. Quoted per model — some are quick, some require a full housing transplant.

Speaker, microphone & camera

Other party can't hear you, you can't hear them, camera blurry or won't focus. Most of these are component-level replacements and turn around the same day. Camera quality issues are often a cracked lens cluster, not the camera module.

Samsung Galaxy specialist work

Galaxy AMOLED screens are unforgiving — cheap aftermarket panels show banding and burn-in fast. We offer both genuine Samsung service-pack and high-quality aftermarket options and explain the trade-offs before you choose.

Google Pixel specialist work

Pixel screens have model-specific quirks — Pixel 6 and 7 fingerprint sensors require recalibration after a screen swap; we do that as part of the job. Pixel Fold inner displays are a separate quote.

Pricing

Phone repair pricing varies a lot by make and model — modern flagship screens cost dramatically more to source than mid-range or older models, and battery costs differ by chemistry and physical size. We don't publish flat rates because they'd be misleading by the time you bring your specific phone in.

Call (02) 4311 6146 with your make and model and we'll give you the exact current price on the spot. Assessment is free, the quote is fixed, and if we find anything extra after opening the phone we call you before doing anything beyond what was quoted. Browse our indicative pricing page for a sense of the range across common services.

Repair or replace? An honest answer

A reasonable rule of thumb: if the repair quote is more than half the current secondhand value of an equivalent-condition handset, it's worth thinking about replacement. For most repairs on phones less than four years old, this isn't even close — a screen replacement at $200–$450 versus a $1,200–$2,000 replacement handset is an easy call. For older phones (iPhone 8 and earlier, Galaxy S10 and earlier), the maths gets tighter, particularly if the battery also needs doing.

The other axis is what's on the phone. If your photos, messages and account access aren't backed up anywhere else, the urgency to recover the device is much higher than the dollar figure suggests — especially for water damage and dead phones where the data is sitting on the chip waiting to be read. We tell people honestly when a repair doesn't make economic sense, even if it costs us the job. Long-term reputation is worth more than one borderline repair.

Outside Erina? Mail it in

If you're elsewhere on the Central Coast and a trip to Erina isn't practical — or you're anywhere else in Australia — we accept phone repairs by post regularly. Call or message us first so we can confirm your model and quote, then ship the phone tracked and insured for its full replacement value (Australia Post Express with signature on delivery is the standard). We complete the repair within 24 hours of arrival at the workshop and ship it back tracked the same day. Round-trip is typically 4–5 business days end-to-end.

When you pack it: original box if you've got it, otherwise wrapped in bubble wrap with at least 5cm of padding around all sides in a sturdy box. Pull the SIM card and keep it. Include a note with your name, phone number, and a quick description of what's wrong. For broader Central Coast service across phones, computers, MacBooks, consoles and data recovery, see our full Central Coast repair guide.

What customers say

★★★★★

iPhone 14 Pro screen was shattered after a drop. Ben replaced it in under an hour and it looks brand new. Even matched the True Tone calibration properly, unlike the last shop I used.

Excellent and efficient phone repair. Ben is transparent about pricing, explains what's wrong, and gets it done fast. Won't go anywhere else on the Coast.

Common questions

Can you repair my iPhone screen the same day?
Yes, for most iPhone models from iPhone 6 through iPhone 17 Pro Max. Drop the phone in at our Erina workshop in the morning and it's usually ready before close of business the same day. Call us on (02) 4311 6146 ahead of time so we can confirm we have your specific model's screen in stock — we keep the high-volume models on hand and source rarer ones overnight.
Do you use genuine or aftermarket parts?
We use OEM-quality refurbished panels for iPhone screens — visually and electrically identical to a new genuine part. For Samsung Galaxy we offer both genuine Samsung service-pack panels and high-quality aftermarket options at a lower price point; we'll explain the trade-offs before you choose. Batteries are always new, not refurbished. We tell you exactly which grade of part is going into your phone before we start.
What warranty do you offer on phone repairs?
12-month workshop warranty on all standard phone repairs — screens, batteries, charge ports, back glass. If the part or our workmanship fails during normal use within that period, we re-repair at no cost. The warranty doesn't cover a fresh impact or new water damage, which is fair. Bring the receipt or quote us your name and we'll find the job in our system.
Is there parking at the Erina workshop?
Yes — free off-street customer parking directly out the front at 3/221 The Entrance Road, Erina. We're a few minutes from Erina Fair, on the main strip, easy to find. If you're coming from Gosford, Terrigal or Avoca, it's a short straight run on The Entrance Road.
Do you charge a diagnostic fee if I don't proceed with the repair?
No. Assessment is free. If we open the phone and find extra damage that changes the quote, we call you first — no surprise charges on the day. If you decide not to proceed after the quote, there's no fee and you take the phone home in the condition you brought it in.
I'm not in Erina — can I post the phone to you?
Yes. We accept mail-in phone repairs from anywhere in Australia. Call or message first so we can confirm your model and quote, post the phone tracked and insured (Australia Post Express with signature on delivery is fine), we complete the repair within 24 hours of arrival and ship it back tracked the same day. Round-trip is typically 4–5 business days end-to-end.
How much does a phone screen replacement cost?
Pricing varies significantly by model — modern flagship screens cost dramatically more to source than older or budget models. We don't publish flat rates because they would be misleading. Call us on (02) 4311 6146 with your specific make and model and we'll give you the exact current price on the spot. No surprises on the day.
