The Fix in Lakewood Center

Looking for phone repair inside Lakewood Center in Lakewood, CA 90712?

The Fix is a dedicated repair store inside Lakewood Center, conveniently located at 500 Lakewood Center Mall, Suite 350, Lakewood, CA 90712. Bring in a cracked iPhone 17, a Galaxy S25 that has stopped charging or a laptop that will not boot, and we start with a diagnosis. Many screen, battery and charging port jobs are same-day repairs, finished while you are shopping.

Phone repair is the core of the store. We work on iPhone, Samsung Galaxy, Google Pixel and other major phone brands. We also repair tablets, computers and gaming consoles, so one visit can cover every device in the house.

The rest of this page explains what we fix, how a visit works and how to find the store from Lakewood Boulevard.

Why choose The Fix in Lakewood Center for your repair?

You get a store built around repairs. Our technicians test the device, tell you what is failing and explain the plan before a screwdriver comes out. The diagnosis is free, so you can decide with the facts in front of you.

You also get range. The same technicians who replace an iPhone 16 screen can look at an iPad Pro with a split corner or a MacBook Air that shuts off at fifty percent. One conversation, one drop-off, one pickup.

Parts matter too. We choose the part that suits the model and the damage, and we match the panel type to the phone, because an iPhone 15 Pro and an iPhone 11 do not use the same screen assembly. A good match keeps touch, color and brightness behaving the way you expect.

Finally, there is the conversation itself. Technicians here keep the language plain and answer questions about the repair before you commit to anything.

Which phone repairs does The Fix handle in Lakewood, CA?

We handle the faults that keep a phone from doing its job, across iPhone, Samsung Galaxy and Google Pixel.

A cracked screen is the first thing most people notice. We replace screens on the iPhone 17, iPhone 16 and iPhone 15 families, on Galaxy S25 and Galaxy S24 phones, on A-series models such as the Galaxy A56, and on the Google Pixel 10 and Pixel 9. When the damage goes further and you have shattered glass that sheds fragments, we replace the whole front assembly so the touch layer works again. Unresponsive touch in a damaged screen and ghost touch after a drop usually trace back to that same assembly.

Battery trouble shows up in three ways: battery draining fast, sudden shutdown while the percentage still looks healthy, and a swollen battery. Each one is a reason to come in for a diagnosis. A swollen battery can push on the screen from underneath, so bring that phone in early. For the other two, we test the battery and replace it when it is the cause.

Charging port repair starts with a look inside the port. Pocket lint and debris in the port are common causes, and clearing them is sometimes all a phone needs. If the port is bent, loose or worn, we replace it.

Back glass, camera lens and speaker faults have their own repairs. We replace cracked back glass on iPhones and Galaxy phones, swap a scratched or broken camera lens so photos come out sharp, and deal with a muffled speaker. A phone that will not power on needs a diagnosis first, because the cause might be the battery, the charging port or something deeper inside.

Water damage is a diagnosis-first repair. Corrosion keeps spreading after a phone dries, so power the phone down and bring it in. We open it, look for moisture and residue and tell you what can be saved.

What other devices can The Fix repair?

Tablets come in from every brand. An iPad Air with a cracked screen, an iPad Pro that has stopped charging and a Galaxy Tab with a battery that drains fast are all jobs for the same bench.

Computer repair covers laptops and desktops. A MacBook Air with a swollen battery, a MacBook Pro with a damaged screen or a Windows laptop that will not boot can all be diagnosed here.

Gaming consoles are covered too. We repair PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X consoles with overheating, power faults and damaged ports, and we work on the Nintendo Switch for charging trouble and power faults. Bring the console and its power cable so the technician can test it properly.

What parts and accessories does The Fix carry?

The parts behind the common repairs are screens, batteries, charging ports, back glass and camera lenses, each matched to the model in your hand. If a model needs a part that has to be ordered, the technician says so during the diagnosis.

Accessories sit alongside the repair work: phone cases, screen protectors and chargers. A new screen deserves a protector, and a fresh case is the easiest way to avoid the next repair.

How does a repair at The Fix work from start to finish?

A visit follows four stages.

• Stage 1: Diagnosis. A technician examines the device and finds the fault.
• Stage 2: Plan. We explain what failed, which part it needs, what the repair costs and how long it will take. You decide whether to go ahead.
• Stage 3: Repair. The technician replaces the part and looks over the surrounding components for damage the fault may have caused.
• Stage 4: Hand-back. We power the device up with you and try touch, camera, speaker and charging before it leaves the store.

Where exactly is The Fix in Lakewood, CA 90712?

The Fix is in Suite 350 at 500 Lakewood Center Mall, Lakewood, CA 90712. Lakewood Center sits at the northeast corner of Lakewood Boulevard and Del Amo Boulevard, along the line between Lakewood and Long Beach. Directly across Del Amo Boulevard to the south is Lakewood Village, a Long Beach neighborhood, so people from both cities reach the store from the same intersection.

Lakewood Boulevard carries you there from the freeways. CA-91 at Exit 15 for Lakewood Boulevard is within about two miles, and I-405 at Exit 27 for Lakewood Boulevard and I-605 at Exit 5A for Del Amo Boulevard are each within about three miles.

A few landmarks help with orientation. Long Beach City College's Liberal Arts Campus on Carson Street is about 1.4 miles to the southeast. Long Beach Airport is about 2.5 miles to the southwest, and UCI Health Lakewood on South Street is about 0.9 miles to the northwest.

How does Lakewood's warm climate affect your phone?

Southern California sun is hard on lithium-ion batteries. A phone left in a parked car on a warm afternoon gets hotter than it was built to handle, and repeated heat wears the battery down. The result can be a phone that shuts off with charge left or, in worse cases, a swollen battery. Keep the phone out of a hot car and out of direct sun when you can.

Weekend trips to the beach pack sand into charging ports and speaker grilles. Sand in a port keeps the cable from seating, and a phone that charges only at certain angles is the sign to watch for.

What should you expect when you bring a device to The Fix?

Expect a patient conversation. The technician looks at the device with you, explains the fault in terms you can follow and tells you what a repair will and will not fix. Questions are welcome at every stage.

Expect attention to detail. Glitchy touch after a drop or a splash, a back glass that cracked in a pocket, a charging port that has stopped working: each gets examined before anyone suggests a repair. Parents bring in children's phones and tablets, and they get the same careful explanation as anyone else.

Expect an easy handoff. Add a case or screen protector to the same visit if you want one, and walk out with a device that works and is ready for the next drop.

What questions come up before a repair at The Fix in Lakewood Center?

How long does it take to repair a cracked iPhone 14 screen at The Fix in Lakewood Center?

A front screen swap is one of the quicker repairs we do, and many are finished the same day. The time depends on whether the right panel is on hand and whether the damage reaches past the glass. The technician gives you an estimate after the diagnosis, so you know whether to wander the mall or plan to return later.

How much does it cost to repair a Galaxy S23 screen at The Fix in Lakewood Center?

It depends on the model, the screen type and the part you choose. A Galaxy S23 panel is not interchangeable with an older S-series panel, and damage to the frame or back glass can add work. You hear the cost for your exact phone before any work starts.

How long does it take to repair a swollen iPhone 15 battery at The Fix in Lakewood Center?

A battery replacement is a routine job for our technicians, and it moves quickly once the diagnosis confirms the battery is at fault. A swollen cell takes more care, because it can press against the screen and has to be lifted out slowly. You get a time estimate as soon as the diagnosis is done.

How much does it cost to repair a charging port at The Fix near Long Beach Airport?

Charging port repair costs less when the problem is debris in the port and more when the port itself has to be replaced. The model, the port type and any damage around the port set the final cost. If you are flying out of Long Beach Airport with a phone that will not charge, bring it in first and ask whether a cleaning is enough.

How long does it take to repair iPhone 15 Pro back glass at The Fix in Lakewood Center?

The glass is bonded to the frame, and the technician has to clear every piece of the cracked panel before the new one goes on. A damaged camera lens ring adds time. So iPhone 15 Pro back glass repair time can vary.

How much does it cost to repair a Google Pixel 9 camera lens at The Fix in Lakewood Center?

It comes down to whether only the lens glass is broken or the camera module behind it is damaged. The Pixel 9 carries its cameras in a raised bar across the back, and the part type and model settle the cost. The diagnosis tells you which case you have.

How long does it take to repair water damage on a phone at The Fix in Lakewood Center?

Water damage takes longer than most repairs, because the diagnosis comes first and corrosion can hide inside the phone. Power the phone off, do not charge it and bring it in. The technician opens it, looks for residue and tells you what can be repaired before work begins.

How much does it cost to repair an iPad screen at The Fix in Lakewood Center?

Mostly the iPad model and size, plus whether only the glass or the display beneath it is damaged. An iPad Air and an iPad Pro differ on both counts, so the diagnosis comes first and the cost follows from it.

How long does it take to repair a MacBook battery at The Fix in Lakewood Center?

Laptop repair timing depends on the fault, because the bottom case comes off and the new cell has to sit correctly. MacBook Air and MacBook Pro models differ in how the battery is attached, so the technician confirms the model first.

How much does it cost to repair a PlayStation 5 or Xbox console at The Fix in Lakewood Center?

Console repair is priced by the fault, the console model and the part involved. A PlayStation 5 with a damaged HDMI port and an Xbox Series X that overheats are different jobs, and the diagnosis separates them.

How long does it take to repair a phone that will not power on at The Fix near Lakewood Village?

Nobody can name a time until the technician finds the cause. A drained battery, a charging port problem and a deeper fault each take a different length of time, which is why the diagnosis comes first. Bring the charger you normally use, since it helps rule out a cable fault.
