Google Pixel screen repair options and costs

Google Pixel screen replacement costs vary by model and the repair option you choose. Here’s what to expect.

Warranty repair: $0

All new Pixels are covered by Google’s 12-month warranty, which offers free repairs for covered malfunctions and defects. Of course, a cracked screen is usually a result of accidental damage, which isn’t covered by the warranty. If you believe your Pixel screen was cracked due to a manufacturing defect, you can make your case to Google. Otherwise, you’ll need to pay for repair.

Phone Insurance: Worth it or waste of money?

Google Preferred Care: $29 to $129

If you purchased Google Preferred Care with your Pixel, your deductible will range between $29 and $129. You’ll get a $50 discount if you take it to a walk-in center instead of mailing it in for repair (walk-ins are serviced at UBreakIFix locations). Google Preferred Care coverage costs $89 for Pixel 3a and 3a XL phones and $129 for Pixel 3 and Pixel 3 XL phones.

Carrier insurance: $29 to $99

Verizon Total Mobile Protection costs $15 per month and includes unlimited Pixel cracked screen repairs for $29 each.

Verizon Phone Insurance: What it covers, what it doesn’t

T-Mobile Protection 360 costs $12 per month for Pixel 3a models and $14 per month for Pixel 3 models. The cracked screen deductible is $99. Sprint Complete costs $15 per month and has a $29 screen replacement deductible. AT&T does not sell Google Pixel phones and therefore does not offer insurance.

Keep in mind you might get a replacement or refurbished Pixel when you make a carrier insurance claim.

Professional Google Pixel repair: $99 to $280

Professional screen replacement costs vary by model and repair shop, but in general you can expect to pay between $99 and $280 – on the low end for older Pixel models and on the high end for recent flagships. It’s a good idea to shop around to get the best deal. For example, My Broken Phone charges $159 to replace a Pixel 3a XL screen, but UBreakIFix charges $120. However, UBreakIFix charges $280 to repair a Pixel 3 XL screen, but My Broken Phone will do it for $199.
