In the shop
Phone Studio buys, sells, and trades devices at the Courtice bench. Bring your old iPhone, Samsung, Pixel, iPad, MacBook, Apple Watch, or working console, the technician runs a free on-the-spot assessment and you walk away with a fair offer in cash or trade credit, with no obligation.
Looking to buy instead? We also stock certified pre-owned phones and tablets, each tested on the bench and backed by 90-day warranty, parts and labour. Even broken or locked phones usually carry parts value, so it is worth asking before you toss one in a drawer. iCloud-locked iPhones and Samsung FRP-locked phones are worth less because they cannot be reactivated for normal use, but they are still accepted for parts. Phone Studio serves Whitby customers from our Courtice repair shop, we assess devices from across Courtice, Oshawa, Bowmanville, Whitby, and Whitby at the same bench.
Phone Studio buys, sells, and trades devices at our Courtice repair shop at 2 Glenabbey Dr, Unit 5. Customers from Oshawa, Bowmanville, and Whitby are served from the same bench.

Cracked screen, dead battery, a port that won't charge. Describe it and most quotes come back inside 30 minutes during shop hours. Nothing starts until you say yes to the price.
Or talk to us now.
Still bring it in, but here's what the offer will reflect, so the number is not a surprise at the counter.
Cannot be reactivated for normal use. Still accepted for parts value, but the cash offer drops significantly compared to an unlocked unit.
Factory Reset Protection blocks normal reactivation. Same parts-value treatment as iCloud-locked iPhones, accepted, but at reduced value.
Boards, displays, and cameras often still carry parts value even if the device is dead. Bring it in, we will tell you what it's worth as parts before you decide.
Backed by
Real Google reviews
A handful of recent reviews, straight from the people who walked in with a broken device. 5.0 stars on Google across 200+ reviews.
Three things: the model, its condition, and the current resale market. The technician opens the device, checks the screen, battery, and ports, and looks up real-time market comparables before quoting a number, so the offer reflects what the device is actually worth today, not a generic guess.
Yes. Cracked screens, dead batteries, water-damaged boards, or phones that will not power on usually still carry parts value. Bring it in for a free assessment, we will tell you what it is worth as parts, even if it cannot be brought back to working order.
Yes, trade-in toward another device is welcome and depends on what is in stock at the time. The technician can walk through trade credit toward a different phone, a refurbished unit, or accessories, whatever balances out the offer.
iCloud-locked iPhones and Samsung FRP-locked phones are worth less because they cannot be reactivated for normal use, but they are still accepted for parts value. We are upfront about the value drop locked devices take.
No obligation, ever. The assessment is free and the offer is not binding until you accept it. If the number does not work for you, walk out with the device, no pressure.
Yes. Our certified pre-owned stock is tested on the bench (battery health, screen, charging, cameras, speakers, software) and sold with 90-day warranty, parts and labour. We're upfront about cosmetic grade, battery health percentage, and unlock status on every device so you know exactly what you're buying.
Walk in, or call us first, we’ll tell you whether to bring it. Whatever it is, however long it’s been sitting in your drawer, that’s what the bench is for.
