The Fix in Walmart Strongsville

Looking for phone repair inside Walmart in Strongsville, OH 44136?

The Fix is a dedicated repair store conveniently located inside Walmart at 8585 Pearl Rd, Strongsville, OH 44136. We repair phones, tablets, computers and game consoles, and we sell accessories from the same store.

Phones are the core of the work. We fix iPhone, Samsung Galaxy and Google Pixel models. A cracked screen, a battery draining fast, a charging port that stopped charging. Those are the problems this store handles day in, day out.

Why choose The Fix on Pearl Rd?

Convenience is the first reason. Because the store is inside Walmart, dropping off a device fits into an errand you already had planned. No separate trip, no extra stop across town.

Speed is the second. Many repairs are same-day, which matters for anyone who runs their workday from a phone.

The third reason is a careful diagnosis. We open the phone, check what is inside and tell you what we find. If a part has been replaced before, we look at that earlier work too, so a problem that keeps returning finally gets traced to its real cause.

Which phone repairs do we handle?

We handle screen, battery, charging port, camera, speaker, back glass and water damage repairs on iPhone, Galaxy and Pixel phones. Here is how each one works.

Screens. A cracked screen or shattered glass is the most visible damage a phone can take. On an iPhone 17, iPhone 15 or iPhone 13, we replace the full screen assembly so touch, brightness and color work together again. Screen damage is not always visible, either. Unresponsive touch, or ghost touch where the phone taps and types by itself, usually points to a failing screen assembly under glass that looks fine.

Batteries. A battery draining fast, a sudden shutdown at a healthy percentage, or a phone that runs hot in your hand are all signs of a worn battery. A swollen battery needs attention right away. It can bulge the case and press on the screen, so it should come out before it does more damage. We replace batteries on models from the iPhone 16 Pro Max back to older iPhones, and on Galaxy and Pixel phones too.

Charging ports. Charging port repair starts with a close look. Often the cause is debris in the port, like lint and grit packed down over time, and a careful cleaning brings charging back. If the pins are bent or corroded, we replace the port itself.

Back glass and cameras. Back glass cracks just as easily as the front on recent iPhones and the Samsung Galaxy S25. We replace it so the phone is sealed and comfortable to hold again. A cracked camera lens makes photos blurry or hazy, and a new lens cover lets the camera focus cleanly.

Speakers and audio. A muffled speaker on calls or music is often dirt in the grille, sometimes a damaged speaker unit. We find out which and fix the right part.

Water damage and power problems. Water damage needs quick action. Turn the phone off and bring it in, because corrosion keeps spreading on the board while it sits. A phone that will not power on might have a dead battery, a failed charging port, a damaged screen or a board issue. We test each one before we suggest a repair.

For Samsung Galaxy devices, we work on the S line, including the Galaxy S25 and S24, and the A line, such as the Galaxy A55. On Google Pixel phones, we handle screens, batteries and charging ports across recent generations.

What other devices can we fix at this Walmart?

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

iPads and tablets. We fix cracked glass, charging ports and batteries on iPad models, including the iPad Air and the base iPad, as well as Samsung Galaxy Tab tablets. Kids' tablets take hard falls, and a broken tablet screen is a repair parents bring in regularly.

Laptops and computers. For MacBook Air and MacBook Pro models, and for Windows laptops, we look at slow performance, keyboards, charging problems, batteries and screens. Students depend on their laptops for coursework, so we keep the explanation clear and the process simple.

Game consoles. We repair PlayStation 5 consoles, Xbox Series X and Series S consoles, and the Nintendo Switch. Typical problems include HDMI ports that no longer send a picture, overheating and loud fans, and Joy-Con drift on the Switch.

Do we carry parts and accessories?

We stock reliable replacement parts for our repairs and sell everyday accessories in the store. Part choice matters. A well-made screen responds the way it should, and a well-made battery holds its charge through the day.

When a repair offers more than one part option, we explain the difference before you decide. That way the choice fits your phone, your budget and how long you plan to keep the device.

On the accessory shelf, we carry cases, screen protectors, charging cables and chargers. A good case and a tempered glass protector are the simplest ways to avoid the next cracked screen. A fresh cable is often the fix for charging that cuts in and out.

How does a repair work here?

A repair at The Fix on Pearl Rd moves through four stages, from diagnosis to a final test with you.

• Stage 1: Diagnosis. We ask what happened, when it started, and whether the device was dropped or got wet. Then we test the parts involved, such as the screen, battery, port or speakers.
• Stage 2: Quote. We tell you what needs replacing, which part we recommend, the cost and roughly how long it should take. Work starts once you give the go-ahead.
• Stage 3: Repair. For many phone jobs, the repair is underway while you are shopping.
• Stage 4: Final test. We check the device with you before you leave. Calls, charging, touch and cameras all get a run-through so the phone is ready for normal use.

Where exactly is The Fix in Strongsville, OH 44136?

The Fix is inside the Walmart at 8585 Pearl Rd. Pearl Rd is also US-42, and the store sits on the north end of Strongsville, where the city meets Middleburg Heights in Cuyahoga County, southwest of Cleveland.

Getting here is easy from the highways. The Ohio Turnpike (I-80) Exit 161 lands you on US-42 and Pearl Rd, a short drive from the store. I-71 runs just east and has its own Pearl Rd interchange. The RTA Strongsville Park and Ride at the Turnpike sits about 0.61 miles southwest, so downtown commuters pass right by.

Nearby landmarks help too. Southwest General Health Center in Middleburg Heights is about 1.76 miles north. Baldwin Wallace University in Berea is about 2.25 miles northwest. SouthPark Mall is about 2.61 miles south, and the Tri-C Western Campus is about 3.27 miles northeast.

How does Northeast Ohio weather affect your phone?

Northeast Ohio weather is hard on phones in every season. Cold, salt and humid heat each wear a device down in different ways.

Winter cold. Lithium-ion batteries lose usable capacity in the cold. A phone at forty percent can die without warning while you wait for a bus or scrape the windshield. An older battery makes it worse, because it has less reserve to begin with.

Road salt and slush. Winter roads leave salt and grit everywhere, including pockets and bags. Slush and wet gloves also raise the risk of liquid getting inside, and salty water corrodes a board faster than clean water.

Humid summers. A phone left in a parked car in July sits in real heat. Heat speeds up battery aging and can make a battery swell over time. Keeping the phone out of direct sun helps it last.

What can you expect when you bring a device in?

You can expect a knowledgeable team and a straightforward visit from drop-off to pickup.

Questions are welcome. Whether it is your first repair or you already know which part failed, we explain what is going on in everyday language, without technical shorthand.

Families can bring more than one device at once. A parent's phone and a child's iPad can come in together and get their diagnosis on the same visit.

Our technicians work on devices all day, from a current iPhone to an older Galaxy that still has plenty of life left in it.

How much does it cost to repair a cracked phone screen at The Fix in Strongsville, OH?

How long does it take to repair an iPhone battery at The Fix in the Strongsville Walmart?

How much does it cost to repair a Samsung Galaxy battery at The Fix on Pearl Rd?

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

The cost of an iPad screen repair depends on the model and how its screen is built. On some iPads the glass and the LCD are separate parts, while on others they are fused into one unit. Screen size and part choice also play a role.

How much does it cost to repair a phone that will not power on at The Fix on Pearl Rd?

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

Water damage repair time depends on how far the liquid reached and how long the phone sat before it came in. A phone that dried out with light corrosion is quicker to bring back than one with damage across the board. We give you a time estimate after the diagnosis.

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

The cost of a charging port repair depends on whether the port needs cleaning or replacement. Packed lint is a small job, while bent or corroded pins mean a new port. The phone model matters too, since some ports are soldered and others are modular.

Is my data safe during a phone repair at The Fix on Pearl Rd?
