How the bench values your device.

Phone Studio buys devices at the Courtice bench. The technician opens the device, checks the screen, battery, ports, and core functionality, then looks up real-time market comparables before quoting a number. The offer reflects what the device is worth today, not a generic guess. You walk out with cash or trade credit, or walk away if the number does not work for you.

Cracked screens, dead batteries, water-damaged boards, or phones that will not power on usually still carry parts value. 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 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.

From walk-in to offer in one visit.

The bench process is the same for every device, phone, tablet, laptop, or console. No appointment, no obligation.

  1. Step 1: Walk in

    Bring the device, charger if you have it, and photo ID. No appointment needed.

  2. Step 2: On-bench check

    The technician opens the device and checks the screen, battery, ports, and core functionality.

  3. Step 3: Market quote

    We compare against real-time market resale data, the offer reflects what the device is worth today.

  4. Step 4: Cash or trade credit

    Accept the offer and walk out with cash or trade credit, or walk away, no obligation.

Locked, broken, or water-damaged?

Still bring it in, but here's what the offer will reflect, so the number is not a surprise at the counter.

  • iCloud-locked iPhone

    Cannot be reactivated for normal use. Still accepted for parts value, but the cash offer drops significantly compared to an unlocked unit.

  • Samsung FRP-locked phone

    Factory Reset Protection blocks normal reactivation. Same parts-value treatment as iCloud-locked iPhones, accepted, but at reduced value.

  • Water-damaged or won't power on

    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.

I recently purchased a phone from Phone Studio in Courtice, and the experience was outstanding from start to finish. The representative was knowledgeable, friendly, and took the time to assist me with buying the right phone and without any pressure. The pricing was fair, and the entire process was quick and hassle-free. Their customer service exceeded my expectations, and they made sure everything checked out before I left. I highly recommend Phone Studio to anyone looking for a great deal and exceptional service!

I had the best experience today at Phone Studio! Brought in my iPhone 14 Pro Max because the screen completely gave up on me, and honestly I was stressed out. But Matt was super friendly, professional, and explained everything in simple terms no pressure, no upselling, just honest service. They fixed my phone faster than I expected, and the quality is amazing. My 14 Pro Max looks brand new again! 🙌 Highly recommend this place if you're in Courtice or Durham Region and need fast, reliable phone repair. Thank you Matt — you literally saved my day!

3rd time is the charm. My S20FE suffered serious salt water corrosion. The first and second repair shop opened the phone and said they could not retrieve the data and photos. Mat and Vijay cleaned and retrieved 5 years of contacts and photos! I was shocked and very happy. These two are very skilled and knowledgeable and simply the Best. Highly Recommended. I simply cannot thank them enough!

Common questions about selling your device.

  • 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 and we will tell you what it is worth as parts, even if it cannot be brought back to working order.

  • 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.
