Serving Long Beach from Creosote Rd

From Long Beach, take US-90 east to Highway 49 and head north to Creosote Rd, or run up Menge Ave and across if that's closer to you. Either way it's a short trip with parking at the door.

We see a lot of beach-related damage from Long Beach — sand in charging ports and water incidents. Both are things we deal with constantly, and both are worth bringing in sooner rather than later.

Step 1 of 3

What are we looking at?

What causes this

  • Drops onto hard surfaces, indoors and out.
  • Sand in charging ports after beach days.
  • Battery wear in the second and third year of ownership.
  • Salt air contributing to slow corrosion.
  • Water incidents at the beach and in pools.

Symptoms to look for

  • Cracked glass or dead spots on the display
  • The cable only charges at an angle
  • Battery dying by mid-afternoon
  • Muffled speaker or microphone
  • Phone behaving oddly after getting wet

Repair options

Pricing depends on your exact model and what we find once it's open. Call or text and we'll give you a straight answer before you drive over.

Screen replacement

Display assembly replacement on the models we stock for, usually while you wait.

Battery replacement

New cell and verified health — the cheapest way to keep a working phone working.

Charging port cleaning and repair

Sand and lint are the usual culprits here, and cleaning often solves it outright.

Liquid damage evaluation

Board inspection with an honest read on what's recoverable.

What you can safely try

  • Restart before assuming the worst.
  • Try a different cable and wall brick.
  • Check the port with a flashlight for sand and lint.
  • Check battery health in settings.
  • Back up before you drive over.

When to stop

  • Never clear a port with a metal object.
  • Stop charging a swelling phone.
  • Don't repeatedly power on a phone that got wet.
  • Don't try a home screen kit.

Before you come in

  • Text us your model so we can check the part before you leave Long Beach.
  • Bring your passcode.
  • Remove the case.
  • Mention any water exposure or prior repairs.

How the visit goes

  • No appointment needed. We're open Monday through Friday, 8 AM to 3 PM, and walk-ins are how most repairs start.
  • Call or text first if you want us to confirm the part is on the shelf before you drive over.
  • You get a straight answer on cost and timing before we start — not after.
  • Qualifying repairs carry a lifetime warranty. We tell you up front when a repair doesn't qualify.

Long Beach phone repair questions

How long is the drive from Long Beach?

Short. US-90 east to Highway 49, then north to Creosote Rd. Most Long Beach customers are in and out inside an hour for a common repair.

Do I need an appointment?

No, we're walk-in Monday through Friday, 8 AM to 3 PM. Texting ahead is still smart so we can confirm your part.

Sand got in my charging port. Can that be fixed?

Almost always, and usually with a cleaning rather than a new port. It's one of the most common things we handle for beach-side customers.

What if you don't have my part?

We'll tell you immediately and give you a realistic timeline to get it in, rather than having you make the drive for nothing.

Do you repair tablets and computers too?

Yes — iPad, Galaxy Tab, Mac, and Windows machines, all at the same Gulfport shop.

Is there a warranty?

Qualifying repairs carry a lifetime warranty. Liquid damage doesn't qualify, and we tell you that before we start.

Broken device? Let's take a look.

Call or text and we'll tell you what's likely wrong, whether we have the part, and how long it should take. No forms, no waiting on an emailed quote.
