The Fix in Walmart Houston

Looking for phone repair inside Walmart in Houston, TX 77075?

The Fix is a dedicated repair store inside Walmart at 9598 Rowlett Rd, Houston, TX 77075, conveniently located for phone repair in southeast Houston. Our technicians repair iPhone, Samsung Galaxy, Google Pixel and Motorola phones, and the store handles other devices too. Many phone and tablet repairs are same-day, often taking less than 30 minutes.

Below you will find the phone repairs we handle, the other devices we work on, the parts and accessories we carry, the four stages of a repair and directions to the store.

Why choose The Fix at the Walmart on Rowlett Rd?

Our technicians work across a wide range of brands and generations. Alongside current iPhone and Galaxy models, we repair Motorola phones, flip phones and devices that are several years old and still have plenty of life left in them.

We take on the deeper faults as well. A phone that keeps restarting on its own after a hard fall, or one with several damaged parts at once, usually needs more than a single replacement. We trace the problem through the device, find where it starts, and recommend the repair that fits it.

Families can bring several devices in one visit. A phone, a tablet and a laptop can be checked side by side, and you leave with one clear picture of what each device needs, which makes it easier to decide what to fix now and what can wait.

What phone repairs can you get at The Fix in Houston?

We repair screens, batteries, charging ports, speakers, cameras and back glass on current and older phones. Screen damage varies a lot from one drop to the next. An iPhone 17 can arrive with a cracked screen that still responds to touch, or with shattered glass and a dark patch spreading underneath it. In both cases we fit a new screen assembly and carry the earpiece, sensors and Face ID components over to it.

Touch problems call for a closer look. On a Galaxy S25, unresponsive touch along the bottom edge, or ghost touch, where taps register with no finger on the glass, can come from a damaged panel, a loose connector or a thick protector pressing on the screen. The diagnosis separates these causes, so the repair matches the real fault.

Batteries lose capacity with each charge cycle. An iPhone 16 with its battery draining fast before noon, or a sudden shutdown while the percentage still shows charge left, points to a worn cell. We read the battery health data and run our own test before replacing anything.

Charging issues have more than one possible cause. If a Galaxy A16 needs its cable held at an angle to charge, charging port repair may be the answer. Sometimes the fix is smaller: lint and dust packed into the opening, or debris in the port, can block the connection, and careful cleaning brings charging back.

Sound problems are narrowed down step by step. On a Pixel 9, a muffled speaker may come from a blocked grille, a worn speaker module or a fault in the earpiece alone. Calls, speakerphone and video audio each run through different parts, so we test each one before choosing the fix.

Rear damage needs attention too. When the back glass on an iPhone 15 Pro Max shatters, the camera lens covers often crack with it, and photos start to look hazy or show flare. We replace the back glass and fit new lens covers, so the cameras see clearly again.

Does The Fix work on tablets, laptops and game consoles?

We work on tablets, laptops and game consoles alongside phones. An iPad Air with a broken glass panel gets a new screen, and an iPad mini with a loose, unreliable charging port gets a new port. Galaxy Tab owners can bring theirs in for screen and battery work.

On the laptop side, a MacBook Air with keys that stick or skip, or a trackpad that no longer clicks, can be repaired here. HP, Dell, Lenovo and Acer machines running Windows come in for screen, keyboard and battery repairs, whether they are used for school, work or both.

Game consoles round out the list. A PlayStation 5 that overheats and shuts off in the middle of a game, an Xbox Series X with a damaged HDMI port, and a Nintendo Switch with Joy-Con drift or a cracked screen are all jobs we take on.

Which parts and accessories does The Fix carry?

Replacement parts are high quality and specific to your model, and the shelves carry what you need to protect a device after a repair. A screen, battery or charging port is matched to the exact model number rather than a close fit. When a screen comes in more than one grade, we explain how the options differ in brightness, color and touch response.

Accessories include protective cases for iPhone, Galaxy, Pixel and Motorola phones, tempered glass and privacy screen protectors, charging cables, camera lens protectors, wall and car chargers, Bluetooth speakers and tablet cases sized for younger users.

We can also put a screen protector or lens protector on for you. The glass is cleaned, dust is lifted off, and the protector goes on aligned with the edges and free of bubbles. A new part stays safer with a fresh case and protector on top.

What are the stages of a repair at The Fix?

Repairs follow four stages, and you make the decisions along the way.

• Stage 1: Describe the problem and how it started. A free diagnosis then pinpoints the cause behind the symptom.
• Stage 2: You hear what failed, which parts are available and what the repair costs, then choose whether to proceed.
• Stage 3: We complete the repair while you are shopping. Laptops, consoles and larger jobs are scheduled for pickup once we know the fault.
• Stage 4: Pick up the device and check calls, charging, touch, cameras and sound before heading home.

Sometimes a second fault shows up along the way, like a worn battery noticed while the screen is off. We point it out right away, and adding it to the job is your call.

Where exactly is The Fix in Houston, TX 77075?

Find The Fix inside the Walmart Supercenter at 9598 Rowlett Rd, Houston, TX 77075. The Supercenter sits off Almeda Genoa Rd near the Gulf Freeway and shares access with the Almeda Crossing shopping center next door.

From I-45, take Exit 34 for S Shaver St and Almeda Genoa Rd, then follow Almeda Genoa Rd to Rowlett Rd. Almeda Mall is under a mile to the southeast. William P. Hobby Airport is about two and a half miles to the northwest, and San Jacinto College South Campus lies roughly four miles south on Beamer Rd.

The store is part of the Greater Hobby Area. Edgebrook sits just across the freeway to the northeast, and Sagemont is a short drive south past Beltway 8.

How do Southeast Houston heat and storms affect your phone?

Long, hot summers wear phone batteries down faster. A phone left in a parked car through a summer afternoon can get far hotter than the air outside, and repeated heat speeds up the chemical wear inside the cell. Over time that can lead to a swollen battery, which pushes the screen or the back panel outward. A bulging phone should come off the charger and in for a check.

Wet weather is the second risk. Gulf moisture, sudden afternoon downpours and hurricane season put phones in the rain more often than anyone plans for, and street flooding can catch a phone in a pocket or a car. Water damage is not always obvious on the first day, because moisture can sit inside the phone and spread slowly.

Simple habits help a lot. Carry the phone with you instead of leaving it in the car, let it cool down before charging after time outdoors, and keep a sealable bag handy for storm days.

What is a visit to The Fix on Rowlett Rd like?

A visit starts with a friendly welcome and a technician who walks you through each step in detail. Questions are welcome at any point, and the explanation stays in everyday words rather than technical jargon.

The atmosphere is relaxed and patient, even when the store is busy. Before you leave, you also get a few practical tips on keeping the repaired device in good shape, from charging habits to protector care.

What do customers ask about The Fix on Rowlett Rd?

How long does it take to repair an iPhone 14 screen at The Fix in Walmart on Rowlett Rd?

Timing for an iPhone 14 screen depends on how far the damage goes beyond the glass. A clean break on a straight frame is a quick swap. A bent frame, a torn earpiece flex or a phone that also took a hit on the back adds work, and we confirm which situation applies before starting.

How long does it take to repair an iPad battery at The Fix in the Rowlett Rd Walmart?

An iPad battery replacement takes longer than a phone battery because the screen has to come off first. iPads hold the glass in place with strong adhesive, and the battery underneath is glued down as well. An older iPad (9th generation) also has a different internal layout from a newer iPad Air, which affects the timing.

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

Water damage timing depends on the fault the diagnosis finds. Cleaning and drying alone is a different job from corrosion on the board or a screen that failed after the spill. Salt water, pool water and sugary drinks leave more residue than tap water, and the sooner a wet phone is switched off and brought in, the less there is to clean.

How long does it take to repair a Galaxy A36 that will not power on at The Fix inside the Rowlett Rd Walmart?

A Galaxy A36 that stays dark can be a short job or a longer one, depending on the cause. A fully drained battery or a worn power button is simpler than a damaged charging circuit or a fault left by a hard drop. Once the cause is clear, you get an estimated timeline.

How long does it take to repair a MacBook battery at The Fix in Walmart on Rowlett Rd?

MacBook battery timing depends on the model and on how the battery is secured inside. Many MacBook Air and MacBook Pro models use glued battery cells, and some need other parts lifted out on the way. The model number printed on the underside of the case tells us which layout yours uses.

How much does it cost to repair a Galaxy Z Flip screen at The Fix in Walmart on Rowlett Rd?

Galaxy Z Flip screen pricing depends on which screen is damaged and which generation you own. The inner folding screen costs far more than the small cover screen on the outside. Newer Z Flip models use larger cover screens, and damage near the hinge can add parts to the job.

How much does it cost to repair a Google Pixel screen at The Fix near Hobby Airport?

Pixel screen costs come down to the model and the panel size. A Pixel 8a uses a smaller, simpler screen than a Pixel 9 Pro XL, and Pro models with high-refresh panels cost more to replace. Damage to the frame or to the fingerprint sensor area under the screen can also change the price.

How much does it cost to repair an iPhone charging port at The Fix off I-45 Exit 34?

iPhone charging port prices depend on the model and on what else shares the part. On many iPhones the port sits on a flex cable that also carries the bottom microphone, so the whole assembly is replaced together. Models with USB-C use a different part from older Lightning models, and liquid damage around the port can add to the cost.

How much does it cost to repair a laptop charging port at The Fix inside the Rowlett Rd Walmart?

What you pay for a laptop charging port depends on how the port is attached. Some laptops use a DC jack on a separate cable, which is a simpler part to replace. Many newer models charge through USB-C ports soldered to the main board, and that work takes more labor. A cracked case around the port can add parts as well.

How much does it cost to repair Samsung Galaxy back glass at The Fix in Walmart on Rowlett Rd?

Galaxy back glass pricing follows the model and the camera layout. A Galaxy S24 Ultra has a large rear panel and separate camera rings, while some budget A-series phones use a plastic back that is a simpler part. If the wireless charging coil or the frame under the glass was damaged too, the price goes up.

Can I walk in to The Fix near Almeda Mall without an appointment?

Yes, no appointment is required at The Fix. If you are coming in for a laptop repair, bring its charger so we can test the device under power.

How does The Fix in the Rowlett Rd Walmart handle the data on my phone?

We leave your data where it is: screen, battery and port repairs work on parts outside the phone's storage, so those repairs do not involve your photos or files. If testing a feature requires an unlocked phone, we explain why, and you enter the passcode yourself. Keeping a current iCloud or Google backup is a smart habit for any phone.
