How accurate are the cost estimates?
Our estimates are based on extensive real-world repair data and aim to give you realistic cost expectations. Typical accuracy falls within a ±15-25% range of actual repair costs.
Why the variance? Final repair costs depend on:
- Your geographic location and local labor rates
- Choice between OEM and aftermarket parts
- Individual repair shop pricing policies
- Hidden damage only visible after device disassembly
- Warranty status and device age
💡 Pro Tip: Use our estimates as a baseline for budgeting and comparing quotes from multiple repair shops. If a quote is significantly outside our range, ask for a detailed breakdown!

What if my estimate seems off?
If an estimate doesn't look right, here's what to do:

- Ensure the damage is fully visible from the angle you photographed
