Fix 'N Repair Newton — Phone, Laptop & Console Repair at 212 Sumner St

What We Repair at Our Newton Shop

Same full repair scope as our other Massachusetts locations — phones, tablets, laptops, MacBooks, game consoles, and Apple Watch. Phone and iPad repairs (screens, batteries, charging ports) are done same-day at the Newton counter while you wait. For laptops, MacBooks, and consoles, we tell you the realistic timeline after a free diagnostic — most still finish same-day or next-day. Board-level work typically takes 2 to 5 business days. Quoted price is the price you pay — no upcharges mid-repair.

How to Find Our Newton Shop

We're at 212 Sumner Street in Newton, on the first floor of Centre Place, Suite #5. The shop sits directly across from the USPS Post Office and next door to BYOD dog wash — both useful landmarks if you're new to the area.

Getting here

Sumner Street runs through the heart of Newton Centre, connecting the village to Chestnut Hill, Brookline, and West Newton with no highway required. From I-90 (Mass Pike), take the Newton Centre exits and head south on Centre Street; Sumner branches off toward the Post Office area. From Route 9, drop down through Chestnut Hill toward Newton Centre and Sumner is a short cross-street. Most customers coming from Brookline or Chestnut Hill find us in under 10 minutes.

Nearby landmarks

About 3 minutes from Newton Centre Green Line station (D Branch) and a short walk from the Newton Centre village restaurants on Beacon Street. The Atrium Mall and Boston College area are roughly 10 minutes away. The Apple Store at The Shops at Chestnut Hill is nearby — but they won't see you same-day without a Genius Bar appointment, which is why most of our customers come straight to us.

Parking

Street-level parking only on Sumner Street and the surrounding side streets — there is no parking behind Centre Place. If Sumner is full directly in front of the shop, the cross-streets usually have open space within a block. Plan a couple extra minutes during peak hours.

How a Walk-In Repair Works

Whether you booked a quote online or just walked in off Sumner Street, the process is the same. Free diagnostic on every device, exact price quoted before any work starts, and you decide whether to proceed.

Microsoldering and Board-Level Repair

Board-level work covers charging IC replacement, backlight circuit repair, water damage component restoration, no-power diagnostics, HDMI ports and microsoldering. These are the repairs where the fault is on the logic board itself, not a part you can unplug and swap.

How it works

Bring the device to our Newton shop. We diagnose it at the counter for free, quote you the board-level work, and start only after you approve. The work is done by our own technicians, never subcontracted. You pick it up in Newton, or at whichever of our four locations is easier for you.

Timeline

Most board-level repairs take 2 to 5 business days. We tell you the full expected schedule before any work starts.

Warranty & Payment at Our Newton Store

Lifetime warranty on cell phone and iPad screen replacements

Every cell phone screen replacement and iPad screen replacement we do at Newton comes with a lifetime warranty covering four specific issues: touch sensitivity problems, ghost clicking, random clicking, and screen lifting. Bring the device back with your receipt and we'll repair or replace it free, no time limit. The warranty is honored at all four of our Massachusetts locations — repair in Newton today, drop into Watertown years later if you need to.

90-day warranty on all other repairs

Battery replacements, charging port repairs, back glass, board-level work, console repairs, laptop repairs, and Apple Watch repairs all carry a 90-day warranty. If the part fails or the repair has a defect within 90 days, bring it back with your receipt and we'll handle it. Water damage repairs are not warrantied — outcomes depend on factors we can't control.

What the warranty doesn't cover

The lifetime screen warranty covers the screen, not drop damage. If the glass survives a new drop but the LCD or OLED panel underneath develops lines, bands, or dead zones afterward, that's impact damage — not a warranty defect. A fresh crack from a new drop is a separate repair (we usually offer a small discount on a second repair within a reasonable period — ask at the counter). Damage from another shop opening the phone after we worked on it is also not covered. Full warranty terms here.

Payment methods

We accept cash, Visa, Mastercard, Discover, Apple Pay and Venmo. We do not accept American Express or personal checks. All quoted repair prices are pre-tax — 6.25% Massachusetts sales tax applies at checkout.

Towns We Serve from Our Newton Shop

Customers travel to our Newton Centre location from across the western, southern, and northwestern Boston suburbs. The Newton villages themselves (Newton Centre, Chestnut Hill, Waban, West Newton, Auburndale, Newton Corner, Newton Highlands) all reach us in under 10 minutes. Beyond Newton, we serve customers from Wellesley, Weston, Natick, and Waltham to the west, Needham, Dedham, West Roxbury to the south, and Brookline, Brighton to the east — mostly without highway driving.

If our Newton shop isn't the closest location for you, we have three other Massachusetts stores: Watertown (7 Main St) covers the inner Boston/Cambridge corridor, Burlington (271A Cambridge St) covers the northwest Boston suburbs, and Wakefield (18 Albion St) covers the North Shore. See all four locations and hours — the lifetime screen warranty applies at any location.
