Cell Phone Repair Near Me in Kendall and Hialeah

When you search for "cell phone repair near me", what you want to know is simple: who can fix it today, what it costs and whether the repair will last. This article answers that with what really happens at the counter of Nous Movil Repair in Kendall and our Hialeah store, where we have been repairing phones, tablets, computers and game consoles since 2014.

Our Kendall store is on Bird Road at SW 129th Ave, and the Hialeah store is at the corner of W 12th Ave and W 44th Pl. Both are open Monday through Friday, 9:00 AM – 6:00 PM, and Saturdays, 10:00 AM – 4:00 PM, and in both you can walk in without an appointment: the diagnostic is free and we don't charge you for looking.

Below is each repair we do every day, with the typical time and starting price. The final price comes out of the diagnostic, which is free, and everything we repair leaves with a written 90-day warranty.

Screen repair: the one we do the most

It is the number one repair at both stores, and that is no accident: phones slip out of hands, pockets and car seats, and the screen is the first thing to hit the ground. We replace iPhone, Samsung, Motorola and other Android screens every day, for example with iPhone screen repair in Kendall and iPhone screen repair in Hialeah.

A screen with lines, stains, a touch layer that doesn't respond or cracked glass takes 20–30 minutes and costs from $79.99, depending on the model. In the vast majority of cases the customer walks out with the device repaired in under an hour.

One piece of advice: if the screen is cracked, don't keep using the phone like that for weeks. Cracks let in dust and moisture, the glass can cut your fingers and the touch layer wears out over time. What is just the screen today can cost more tomorrow. More details on screen repair.

Charging ports: when the cable stops making contact

If you have to wiggle the cable to get it to charge, or the phone only charges on and off, it is almost never the cable: it is the port. Pocket lint, dust and even beach sand get packed in there until the connector no longer reaches the bottom.

In most cases the problem is dirt or a bent pin, not electrical damage, and a professional cleaning fixes it in minutes. When the port really is damaged, we replace it: charging port repair takes 30–60 minutes and costs from $59.99. And don't poke around with a pin or a toothpick: it is easy to bend a pin and turn a simple cleaning into a port replacement.

Battery replacement: when your phone doesn't last the day

Every lithium battery loses capacity with use. After two or three years it is normal for a phone to no longer hold what it did on day one: it shuts off without warning, runs hotter than usual or doesn't last half a day.

Battery replacement takes 20–30 minutes and costs from $69.99, which makes it one of the fastest repairs and one of the most noticeable. If you are torn between repairing and replacing your phone, read our guide on when to replace an iPhone battery.

Viruses and malware: when your device runs slow or acts strange

Over time, every device piles up temporary files, poorly uninstalled programs and, sometimes, viruses or malware that make it slower and slower. The signs are easy to spot: pop-ups nobody opened, a browser that changes its home page on its own, programs you didn't install and a fan that never stops.

On computers, the fix is a clean Windows or macOS reinstall, with your files backed up first. It is done the same day and costs from $59.99. If what you notice on your phone is strange ads, apps you didn't install or a battery that drains for no reason, bring it in: the free diagnostic includes a full hardware and software check.

Data recovery: your photos first

When a phone stops turning on because of board damage, water or a hard fall, what worries you first is not the device but what is saved on it: family photos, work contacts, conversations and documents that are not backed up to the cloud. We try to recover that information directly from the internal memory whenever it is technically possible.

It isn't always possible, and we would rather tell you before we start. If your device won't turn on or got wet, don't keep pressing the button or plugging it into the charger over and over: every attempt can make the damage worse. Bring it in and we will take a look; the quote is no obligation.

Back glass: the glass on the back breaks too

On many modern iPhones and Samsungs the back glass is bonded directly to the frame, so a fall on its back or a hit on a corner chips it even when the screen is perfectly fine. Pulling it off by force can damage the antenna, the wireless charging coil or the camera sensor, which is why we use specialized laser removal equipment.

Back glass replacement takes 2–3 hours and costs from $79.99. If the glass is chipped, cover it with clear tape on your way to the store: it keeps splinters from coming loose.

Water damage: rain, pools, the beach and humidity

In Miami phones get wet everywhere: the afternoon downpour, the pool, the ocean and even the humidity in the car. Water by itself rarely destroys a phone instantly; the real damage comes from the corrosion that starts minutes later, like the corrosion in this photo, taken at our workbench.

That is why time matters most: the less you wait, the more parts can be saved. Turn it off, don't charge it and bring it to the store. The anti-corrosion cleaning protocol starts with the diagnostic, which is free and takes 1 to 2 hours. If you want to know what to do in the first few minutes, read what to do if your phone gets wet.

PlayStation, Xbox and Switch: maintenance and repairs

Not everything that comes across the counter is a phone. We also repair game consoles: PlayStation 5 and 4, Xbox Series and One, and Nintendo Switch. The most common problem is overheating and shutting off mid-game, and the cause is almost always the same: dust. The first photo shows the fan of a PS5 clogged with lint; with that buildup the console cannot push the hot air out.

A timely maintenance, with a deep internal cleaning, prevents it without waiting for the console to shut down. Other everyday repairs: the PS5 HDMI port when it powers on but gives no picture (PS5 HDMI replacement, from $89.99), disc drives that don't recognize games and damaged charging ports. A console repair takes 1–2 days depending on the issue.

On controllers, "drift" — when the character moves on its own — is the star failure. We repair drift and buttons on PS5, PS4, Xbox and Switch Joy-Con controllers the same day, from $59.99; the second photo shows a Joy-Con joystick swap. And if you want the drift to never come back on your PlayStation or Xbox controller, we install Hall effect or TMR joysticks in 24 hours.

Computers and laptops

We also repair Windows laptops and MacBooks: cracked screens, batteries that no longer hold a charge, keyboards with failing keys, loose hinges and damaged charging ports. The diagnostic is free and, depending on the damage, the repair takes 1 to 3 days.

If your computer overheats or shuts down on its own, dust buildup is the most common cause. PC and laptop maintenance includes internal cleaning of fans and heat sinks and a thermal paste replacement; it is done the same day and costs from $59.99.

How to choose where to repair your phone near you

Beyond distance, this is what you should expect from any repair shop:

• A free diagnostic and the price before you start, not after.
• A written warranty. Ours is 90 days and it is honored at both stores, no matter which one did the repair.
• Quality parts and a technician who explains what failed, in Spanish or English.
• Being told when it is not worth repairing: sometimes the honest answer is not to spend the money.
• Being able to walk in without an appointment and, for common repairs, leave the same day.
