The Fix in Walmart Lubbock

Looking for phone repair inside Walmart in Lubbock, TX 79416?

The Fix is a dedicated repair store inside Walmart, conveniently located in the Supercenter at 702 W Loop 289 Acc Rd, Lubbock, TX 79416. We repair phones, tablets, computers and game consoles, and we carry the cases and screen protectors that keep them safe afterward. Many phone and tablet repairs are same-day, often taking less than 30 minutes, so the work can run while you are shopping and be finished by the time you check out. Glass, power, sound or charging, the repair happens right here in the store.

Why choose The Fix inside the Lubbock Walmart?

Parts on hand, a wide range of models and room for more than one device are what set this store apart. We keep common screens, batteries and charging ports in stock for current iPhone, Galaxy and Pixel models, so a typical job does not sit and wait for a part to arrive.

Age is not a problem either. We work on the newest phones and on models that are several generations old, which matters when one person in the house carries a brand-new iPhone and someone else is still using a phone from years back.

That same household often has more than one device that needs attention. Bring them together. Each one is checked on its own, so a cracked tablet and a phone that will not hold a charge can both be handled in a single visit.

Which phone repairs do we handle in Lubbock?

We repair screens, batteries, touch faults, back glass, cameras and liquid damage on iPhone, Samsung Galaxy and Google Pixel phones. Screens come first for a reason. On an iPhone 17, a cracked screen with lines running from one corner may keep working for a while, but every new bump spreads the damage and small shards can start to break loose. Shattered glass on a Galaxy A16 often brings dead patches along with it, and replacing the screen early keeps the damage from reaching the parts underneath.

Touch faults are a separate category. Unresponsive touch means the phone ignores your finger in part of the screen or across all of it. Ghost touch is the reverse: the phone registers taps nobody made, scrolling, dialing or selecting on its own. On a Galaxy S25 Ultra, either fault tends to trace back to a damaged touch layer or a loose connector, and the diagnosis tells us which one it is.

A battery draining fast on an iPhone 16 that has had a couple of years of daily use is a sign the cell has worn down. If the percentage falls quickly after a full charge, or the phone runs warm while doing very little, a new battery brings back the runtime it had when it was newer.

A drop flat on its back can crack the back glass and the camera lens cover at the same moment. On an iPhone 13 Pro Max, a cracked lens cover leaves photos hazy or streaked even when the camera module itself is fine. We treat the back glass and the camera lens as separate repairs, so you pay only for what actually broke.

Water damage needs fast action. A phone that went into a sink or caught a spilled drink should be switched off and brought in, not plugged in to see whether it still charges, because current running through a wet board speeds up corrosion. A Google Pixel 9 that will not power on at all may have a dead battery, a failed charging circuit or liquid under the shields, and the diagnosis separates one from the other before any part is replaced.

What other devices can we repair besides phones?

Tablets, laptops and game consoles come through the same door as phones. For tablets, an iPad Air with a cracked screen and an iPad Pro whose charging port only works when the cable is held at an angle are both jobs we take on, along with Samsung Galaxy Tab screens and batteries.

For computers, we repair MacBook Air and MacBook Pro screens, keyboards and batteries. Windows laptops get the same range of work, including broken hinges, worn batteries and slow systems that benefit from a storage or memory upgrade.

Gaming systems are part of the work too. We handle PlayStation 5 HDMI ports that no longer send a picture to the TV, Xbox Series X consoles that shut off when they get hot, and Nintendo Switch Joy-Con controllers that drift when nobody is touching the stick.

What parts and accessories does the store carry?

Repairs here use high-quality parts. Where a model offers more than one screen option, such as an OLED or an LCD replacement, we lay out the difference in brightness, color and price so you can pick the one that fits how you use the phone.

The accessory wall covers what a repaired phone needs next. You will find cases for current iPhone and Galaxy models, from slim clear shells to rugged ones built for job sites, plus tempered glass and privacy screen protectors, camera lens protectors, chargers and cables. We fit screen protectors in the store, so the glass goes on straight, lined up with the edges and free of bubbles.

How does a repair at The Fix work, step by step?

A repair here moves through four stages, each one short and clear:

• Stage 1: Bring the device in. Tell us what happened and when the problem started, since a drop, a spill and a slow decline each point in a different direction.
• Stage 2: Diagnosis. A technician checks the device and finds the cause. The diagnosis is free.
• Stage 3: Quote and approval. You get the price and what it covers before any work starts, and nothing is repaired until you say yes.
• Stage 4: Repair and testing. The technician replaces the part, then runs function checks on touch, cameras, speakers and charging before handing the device back.

Where exactly is The Fix in Lubbock, TX 79416?

The Fix is inside the Walmart Supercenter at 702 W Loop 289 Acc Rd, Lubbock, TX 79416, near the intersection of 4th Street and Frankford Avenue in Northwest Lubbock. The address sits on the West Loop 289 access road, which makes the store a simple stop for anyone already driving the loop.

Two campuses sit within easy reach. Lubbock Christian University is less than a mile to the south, and the Texas Tech University campus is a little over three and a half miles east along 4th Street. That puts the store on the regular route for students, faculty and families moving between campus and the growing west side of town.

How do Lubbock's dust, heat and cold affect your phone?

West Texas weather wears on phones in three specific ways. The first is dust. Spring winds on the South Plains carry fine grit that settles into pockets and bags, and each time a cable goes in, it pushes that grit deeper. Debris in the port eventually keeps the connector from seating fully, so charging turns slow or stops, and a port with bent or worn pins needs charging port repair. The same grit collects in speaker grilles, which is why a muffled speaker is worth checking after a windy stretch.

The second is heat. A phone left in a closed vehicle on a summer afternoon can climb past safe battery temperatures, and repeated heat is one cause of a swollen battery. If the screen starts to bulge or the back panel begins to separate, stop charging the phone and bring it in.

The third is cold. A blue norther can drop the temperature fast, and lithium cells lose voltage in the cold. A sudden shutdown at a healthy-looking percentage on a freezing morning usually means the battery has worn to the point where it can no longer hold voltage under load.

What can you expect when you visit The Fix?

Expect a friendly, straightforward visit. The technician talks you through the fault and the options in plain language, answers questions without rushing you and helps you weigh a repair against what the device is worth to you.

After a battery replacement, we can walk you through charging habits that help the new cell age well. That kind of practical advice is part of the visit, not an extra.

Accessory questions are welcome too. If you are not sure which case suits the way you carry your phone, or whether a privacy protector makes sense for the way you use it, ask the technician and get a straight answer before you buy anything.

What else should you know before a repair at The Fix in Lubbock?

How long does it take to repair an iPhone screen at The Fix in Walmart on West Loop 289?

An iPhone screen repair here is often same-day and in many cases takes less than 30 minutes. What moves the time is the model and the frame: a bent frame has to be straightened before the new screen will sit flat, and Face ID models need extra care around the front sensors.

How much does it cost to repair a Samsung Galaxy screen at The Fix near Lubbock Christian University?

What you pay for a Galaxy screen repair depends mainly on the model and its screen type. Galaxy S phones use AMOLED panels with the fingerprint reader built into the glass, which cost more to replace than the screens on most Galaxy A phones. A bent frame or a cracked back from the same drop adds to the job.

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

An iPhone battery replacement is priced by model, because battery capacity and the way the cell is fastened inside the phone change from one generation to the next. On an older phone like the iPhone 11, the part choice matters too: where more than one battery option exists for your model, the one you pick moves the figure.

How much does it cost to repair a charging port at The Fix on 4th Street and Frankford Avenue?

A charging port repair is priced first by whether the port needs a cleaning or a replacement. When the pins are only blocked and not damaged, clearing them is the smaller job. A worn, bent or corroded port gets replaced, and the cost then follows the phone's design: many iPhones carry the port on a flex cable shared with the microphone, while many Galaxy phones put it on a small separate board.

How much does it cost to repair a Google Pixel at The Fix in Walmart Lubbock?

The price of a Google Pixel repair depends on which part failed and which Pixel you have. A Pixel 8 screen with the fingerprint reader underneath is a different job from a battery or a rear camera bar, and Pro models use larger, higher-resolution panels than the base models.

How much does it cost to repair a laptop at The Fix in Walmart on West Loop 289?

Laptop repair pricing comes down to the brand, the model and the part involved. A MacBook Pro screen is replaced as a full lid assembly, while many Windows laptops use a separate panel that costs less to swap. Keyboards, batteries and hinges each price differently, and a storage upgrade depends on the drive size you choose.

How long does it take to repair an iPad at The Fix in Walmart Lubbock?

The time an iPad repair takes depends on the model and how its screen is built. On base iPad models the outer glass and the screen beneath it are separate layers, while an iPad mini uses a laminated screen, and each design needs a different amount of prep and adhesive work. You get an expected pickup time once the diagnosis is done.

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

Repairing a water-damaged phone takes as long as the cleaning and testing require, and that depends on what the liquid was and how long it sat inside. Sugary drinks and cooking oil leave more residue than plain water, and corrosion on a connector takes longer to clear than a damp board.

How long does it take to repair a PlayStation or Xbox at The Fix in Walmart Lubbock?

Console repair time depends on the fault and the part. A PS5 disc drive that will not read discs is a different job from an Xbox Series S power supply that has failed, and work that involves soldering a new port takes longer than swapping a module.

Do Texas Tech students need an appointment at The Fix on West Loop 289?

Texas Tech students can walk in without an appointment, the same as anyone else. If you are bringing a laptop as well as a phone, mention both at the start so the technician can plan the order of the work around your day.

Is my data safe when I leave my phone at The Fix in Walmart Lubbock?

Screen, battery and port repairs are hardware work, and they do not need access to your photos, messages or accounts.

How much does it cost to repair cracked back glass on an iPhone at The Fix in Walmart Lubbock?

Back glass pricing is set by the iPhone model and the way its rear glass is attached. On the iPhone 14 and many later models the back glass comes off as its own panel, while on earlier phones such as the iPhone 12 it is bonded to the frame and takes more labor to remove cleanly.
