The Fix in Walmart Abilene

Looking for phone repair inside Walmart in Abilene, TX 79601?

The Fix is a dedicated repair store conveniently located inside Walmart at 1650 State Highway 351, Abilene, TX 79601, so a grocery run and a phone repair can happen in the same stop. We fix iPhone, Samsung Galaxy and Google Pixel phones here, and the same technicians handle tablets, computers and game consoles. Many phone and tablet repairs are same-day, often taking less than 30 minutes, so a cracked screen can be sorted out while you are shopping.

Why choose The Fix for device repair in Abilene?

The Fix gives you one place for every device in the house. Phones, tablets, laptops and game consoles can all come through the same door, whatever brand they are. That matters in a household where each person carries something different.

Our technicians talk to you directly. You hear what failed, which part it needs and what your options are, in language that makes sense without a manual. If a phone needs only a cleaned port and not a new battery, that is what we tell you.

What phone repairs can The Fix handle in Abilene?

We handle screen, battery, charging port, camera and back glass repairs, along with water damage diagnosis, for the phones people in Abilene actually carry. Here is how those jobs look in practice.

A cracked screen or shattered glass usually follows a drop onto concrete or tile. On an iPhone 17 or iPhone 17 Pro Max, the screen and the touch layer are one assembly, so we replace them together. When glass breaks, it can also leave you with unresponsive touch in the lower half or ghost touch, where apps open by themselves. Those are signs the damage reached the layer under the glass.

Battery problems show up in a few ways. Your battery draining fast by midafternoon, a sudden shutdown at 30 percent, or a phone that restarts when you open the camera all point to a worn cell. A swollen battery is different. It can push the screen up from the frame and should be replaced before you keep charging it.

Charging trouble does not always mean a broken part. Debris in the port, like lint from a pocket or dust from a truck console, can stop the cable from seating. A careful cleaning sometimes solves it. When the pins are worn or bent, charging port repair replaces the whole port.

We also replace back glass on iPhones such as the iPhone 13 and iPhone 15, swap a cracked camera lens cover, and fix a muffled speaker that makes calls hard to hear. On the Android side, we repair the Galaxy S25 and Galaxy S25 Ultra, budget models like the Galaxy A16, and Google Pixel phones such as the Pixel 9, where a crack across the rear camera bar can blur photos even when the front screen is fine.

Water damage needs a diagnosis first. A phone that will not power on after a spill may have a corroded connector, a damaged battery or a failed board component, and each path leads to a different repair.

Which other devices can we repair at this store?

Beyond phones, we repair tablets, laptops, desktop computers and game consoles at this store.

For tablets, we replace screens and batteries on iPads, including the iPad Air and the iPad's new generations. A tablet that charges slowly or dies off the charger usually needs a fresh battery.

For computers, we work on MacBook Air and MacBook Pro models as well as Windows laptops and PCs. We replace cracked screens and worn keyboards, remove viruses and malware, run system tune-ups, and install RAM and SSD upgrades. An SSD upgrade is often the change that brings an older laptop back to a usable startup time.

For game consoles, we repair PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X and Nintendo Switch systems. HDMI port damage, disc read errors and controller buttons that stop responding are the faults we handle.

What parts and accessories are available at The Fix in Abilene?

The Fix uses high-quality parts matched to your model, and we stock accessories that protect a device once it is repaired.

For many iPhone and Galaxy screens, you can choose between more than one part grade. The choice affects color, brightness and cost, so we explain how each grade looks on your model and leave the choice to you. Batteries, charging ports and camera parts are matched to the exact model, since a Galaxy S25 part and a Galaxy S24 part are not interchangeable.

On the accessory side, we carry cases, screen protectors and chargers. A tempered glass protector and a case with raised edges are the simplest way to keep a new screen intact. A charger that fits your phone's charging speed is worth having too, and a fresh cable rules out the cable before anyone blames the port.

How does a repair work at The Fix in Walmart Abilene?

A repair at The Fix follows four stages, from diagnosis to pickup.

• Stage 1: Diagnosis. A technician checks the device and finds the fault, including anything hidden behind the obvious damage.
• Stage 2: Quote. You hear the repair options and the cost before any work starts.
• Stage 3: Repair. Once you approve, the technician replaces the part or fixes the fault.
• Stage 4: Pickup. You collect the device, and we go over which part was replaced.

If the diagnosis turns up a second problem, such as a loose speaker connector found during a screen repair, you hear about it at Stage 2 and decide whether to fix both.

Where exactly is The Fix in Abilene, TX 79601?

The Fix is inside the Walmart Supercenter at 1650 State Highway 351, Abilene, TX 79601, in North Abilene.

The store sits on State Highway 351 between the Abilene Christian University campus and Interstate 20. ACU is about a mile to the southwest, so Wildcat Stadium and the Hunter Welcome Center are short drives away. If you are coming in on I-20, take Exit 288 for SH 351 and head northwest for about 1.7 miles.

Hardin-Simmons University and Hendrick Medical Center are a little over two miles to the west, on the far side of downtown, so this Walmart is an easy stop for people who live or work in that part of town as well.

How does Abilene weather affect your phone?

Abilene's long, hot summers are hard on phone batteries. Heat speeds up the chemical wear inside a lithium-ion cell. A phone left on a truck seat or a dashboard in a West Texas parking lot can get hot enough to shut down, and repeated heat is one of the things that leads to a swollen battery.

Wind and dust are the other Big Country factor. Fine grit works its way into charging ports, speaker grilles and microphone holes. Over time that grit is what clogs a port or dulls a speaker, which is why a quick look at both is worth asking for during any visit.

Spring storms bring their own risk. A phone in a back pocket during a downpour, or one dropped in a puddle while you load groceries, can pick up moisture inside the frame. If that happens, power it off and bring it in rather than charging it to see if it still works.

What can you expect when you bring a device to The Fix in Abilene?

You can expect a relaxed, friendly visit from the moment you hand over the device.

People who have visited this store describe iPhone repairs finished faster than they planned for, staff who are easy to talk to, and steady updates on longer jobs such as computer repairs.

When you arrive, tell us what the device is doing and when it started. Bring the charger and cable you use at home if the problem is charging related. If your phone holds photos you cannot lose, a backup to iCloud or Google before the visit gives you peace of mind.

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

How long does it take to repair a cracked iPhone screen at The Fix in Walmart Abilene?

Repairing a cracked iPhone screen at The Fix in Walmart Abilene is often a same-day job, taking less than 30 minutes in many cases. What drives the time is the model, whether the frame is bent, and whether the screen part for your iPhone is in stock that day.

How long does it take to repair a MacBook at The Fix in Walmart Abilene?

The time it takes to repair a MacBook depends on what failed. A keyboard swap, a screen replacement and an SSD upgrade each involve different steps, and the diagnosis tells us which one your MacBook needs before we give you a time frame.

How long does it take to repair a PlayStation 5 HDMI port at The Fix in Walmart Abilene?

A PlayStation 5 HDMI port repair takes longer than a phone repair because the port is soldered to the board. Timing depends on whether only the port is damaged or nearby components were hit too, which we confirm during the diagnosis.

How long does it take to repair a water-damaged phone at The Fix in Walmart Abilene?

Fixing a water-damaged phone takes as long as the damage requires, and that depends on how far the moisture traveled. Corrosion on one connector is a different job from a battery or board that took on liquid. A phone that still powers on in some form is usually a shorter job than one that shows no sign of life.

How much does it cost to repair a Galaxy S25 Ultra screen at The Fix in Walmart Abilene?

What you pay to repair a Galaxy S25 Ultra screen depends on the part grade you choose and on whether the frame took damage in the fall. The curved-edge design and built-in fingerprint sensor also shape the final figure.

How much does it cost to repair an iPad Air screen at The Fix near Abilene Christian University?

Your iPad Air generation sets most of the screen repair cost, along with whether the glass and the LCD are separate parts or one fused assembly. A newer iPad Air with a laminated screen costs more than an older model where only the glass is replaced.

How much does it cost to repair an iPhone battery at The Fix in Walmart Abilene?

The iPhone model sets the battery repair cost. An iPhone 13 battery and an iPhone 17 battery are different parts with different costs, and the Pro and Pro Max versions of each generation use their own batteries again.

How much does it cost to repair iPhone back glass at The Fix off I-20 Exit 288?

Back glass on an iPhone costs more or less to repair depending on the model and how the glass is attached. On some iPhone models the back glass comes off on its own, while on others the job involves the housing, and that difference changes the cost.

How much does it cost to repair a Nintendo Switch at The Fix in Walmart Abilene?

The fault decides what a Nintendo Switch repair costs: a drifting Joy-Con stick, a charging port that no longer connects to the dock, or a cracked screen each use different parts. Whether you have a Switch OLED, a Switch 2 or the first Switch model also affects the cost.
