At the bench

Trading toward your next device.

Trade-in toward another device is welcome at the Courtice bench, 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. The assessment is free, the offer is not binding until you accept it. Any device we take in trade is wiped clean on the bench before resale, the SIM card and SD card go back to you, and no account of yours is left on it.

Bring your old iPhone, Samsung, Pixel, iPad, MacBook, Apple Watch, or working console. Same on-the-spot assessment as a straight sale, with the option to apply the value as in-store credit instead of cash.

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.

How it works

From old device to upgrade in one visit.

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

  1. Step 1: Bring the old device

    Phone, tablet, MacBook, Apple Watch, or working console, walk in with what you want to trade.

  2. Step 2: Free assessment

    Same on-the-spot bench check as a straight sale.

  3. Step 3: Pick the upgrade

    Apply the trade value toward another phone, a refurbished unit, or accessories.

  4. Step 4: Walk out with the new device

    Trade credit balances the offer. Walk away if the math does not work, no obligation.

What a trade looks like

Common trade paths.

Trade credit balances the new purchase, pay the difference in cash or card, or apply credit toward a repair or accessories instead. The technician walks through the numbers in-store.

  • Older working phoneRefurbished newer phone

    Trade credit reduces the price of the refurbished unit. Pay the difference in cash or card.

  • Lightly-used phoneDifferent brand or model

    Trade credit applies to any in-stock device, phone, tablet, or laptop.

  • Working phone you no longer useAccessories or repairs

    Trade credit can offset a repair invoice or accessory purchase instead of a new device.

Condition grades

How we grade what comes across the bench.

Practical grading so expectations are clear before the offer. Every device gets a fresh assessment on the bench.

Like New
Minimal signs of use. Fully functional. Excellent cosmetic shape, looks unused.
Excellent
Light wear. Fully functional. No major cosmetic damage that affects daily use.
Good
Visible wear from regular use. Core functionality intact. Reliable as a daily driver.
Fair
Noticeable cosmetic wear, or minor functional quirks that do not stop the device working.
Damaged
Cracked screen, port faults, battery degradation, or board issues. Often still carries parts value.
Before you walk in

Bring this with you.

None of this is required, but it makes the bench faster and the offer stronger when you have it.

  • Photo ID

    Required for the trade-in side of the transaction

  • Backup your data

    Anything you want to keep should already be backed up before you walk in

  • Factory reset (optional)

    Saves a step at the counter. We can also guide you through it in-store

  • Unlock status note

    If the trade-in is carrier-locked or you do not have the passcode, mention it up front

  • Realistic expectations

    Locked, broken, and water-damaged devices carry parts value but less trade credit

Honest about value

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!

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!
