The Pixel 8 Pro came out in 2023, with a 6.7 inch Super Actua LTPO OLED display and the Google Tensor G3 chip. It charges over USB-C and it unlocks with a fingerprint reader under the display. There is a polished aluminium frame, and it is rated IP68. Three cameras and a small temperature sensor beside the flash, which no other Pixel has. Flat screen, matt back.
Cameras are the repair where software and hardware look most alike from the outside, so it is worth checking two things before booking.
If you are not sure which of these you have, that is what the free diagnostic is for. It costs nothing and it is the step that stops people paying for the wrong repair.
Two tiers, and you choose knowing which is which: a genuine Google service part where one is made for this component, or premium aftermarket where none is. The warranty is 360 days on either.
Nobody here will call a part original when it is not. If what fits your phone is premium aftermarket, you hear that word at the counter rather than reading it on a docket afterwards.
You will not find work on the bill you did not agree to. If something else shows up while the phone is open, we stop and ask rather than deciding for you.
Dublin collection and return is available on weekdays if you cannot make it in. Nothing about the price or the cover changes because the courier brought it.
Cameras are modules rather than tuned panels, so the tier gap is narrower than it is on a screen.
Original or manufacturer-grade part
The manufacturer's own module. On phones that calibrate the camera to the board this is the tier least likely to produce a notice in settings.
Priced at the counterPremium aftermarket, tested to the same standard
Made to the original specification and tested before fitting. On an older phone this is usually the sensible call.
Priced at the counterThe €120 on this page is our standard quote for this repair. Which tier suits your device is a conversation at the counter, and the price for each is on the table before you decide. The 360-day warranty is the same on both, because we would not offer a tier we did not think would last.
Check whether it is the lens cover glass rather than the module first. That is a different and much cheaper part, and half the blurry cameras that come in here need it rather than a camera.
Walk in during opening hours or book ahead, whichever suits. Tell us what the device is actually doing rather than what you think the fix is.
Before a part is ordered we establish what has really gone wrong. It is free, and it is the reason people do not leave here having paid for the wrong thing.
You hear the number first. If it is not worth it to you, that is a perfectly good answer and it costs you nothing.
It stays in the shop. The work is done on our own bench by the technicians who do it every day of the week.
The repaired function and the things around it are checked before we call you.
Yours again, from the counter or by courier, with 360 days of cover on the part and the work.
A repair is not finished when the part is fitted. It is finished when the things around it have been checked.
Wide, ultra wide and telephoto where fitted, because replacing one can disturb the others.
Close up and at distance, which is where a failing focus motor shows and a still photo of a wall does not.
Both sit in the same assembly and both get disturbed during the job.
Both run through the same assembly on most phones.
Nothing about this repair requires reading what is on the device, and nobody here does.
Testing is a different matter. To prove a repair works we have to turn the device on and use it, which sometimes means asking for your passcode. Say no if you prefer and we will show you exactly which checks we cannot complete without it. Where you do give it, it is written on the paper docket and the docket is shredded. There is deliberately no field for a passcode in our system.
Take a backup before you come in. It is free, it takes two minutes on a device that still works, and it is the one thing nobody regrets having done.
After any repair, ours included, work on the assumption that the device is no longer water resistant.
The rating on the box was measured once, on a sealed unit, in controlled conditions. It was never a promise about the device three years later. Adhesive hardens, seals compress and a single drop can break the seal without leaving a mark you would notice.
We reseal with fresh adhesive and it does a real job: rain, splashes and a wet counter are all fine. A submerged phone is not, and we would rather say that plainly than let you find out.
If yours goes near water regularly, say so at the counter and we will tell you what the adhesive covers and what it does not.
Every completed repair is covered for 360 days on the part and the workmanship. If the display we fitted fails, or the fitting was at fault, we put it right at no charge.
What it does not cover is a new accident. A phone dropped again after the repair, fresh physical damage, liquid damage, or a fault in a part we did not touch, all sit outside it. That is the same limit any honest repair warranty has.
No fix, no fee. The diagnostic is free, and if the repair does not happen you pay nothing.
Same repair price and the same 360-day warranty on all three. The only thing that changes is how the device travels.
€120, including the part, the fitting, the testing and the 360-day warranty. VAT is included. You get that figure confirmed before anything is opened, and if we cannot repair the phone you pay nothing.
Usually same day. If the diagnostic turns up something else, or a part has to be ordered, we tell you before you commit rather than after.
Often yes, and it is much cheaper than the module. On some models the glass is part of the rear panel and on others it is separate, so tell us which lens and we will tell you which job it is before you book.
Where a genuine manufacturer module is available for your model we fit that, and it behaves exactly as it did. Where it is not, a premium aftermarket module is very close, and we say which one is going in before you agree to it.
It can be. Focus motors fail on their own, and moisture gets behind a lens without the phone ever being submerged. It is worth a free diagnostic before you pay for a part.
Look at the glass over the lens in bright light at an angle. Cracks and deep scratches show clearly, and where they are there that is almost always the cause. The two are different parts at different prices and we confirm which before ordering.
Often yes, because a camera module is one of the cheaper parts in a phone. We will tell you honestly where it is not.

Great service, same day pixel 6a fix
Bought a phone at imend, Drumcondra, near DCU. What could have been a difficult experience for an untechical minded person like myself was made so easy by the very helpful staff member who ensured my phone was up and running smoothly with everything working well before I left the shop.
Imend phone repair shop near me Excellent service
I had a great experience getting my phone fixed. The staff was friendly and efficient, and my phone works perfectly now. It was also not expensive. Highly recommend their service!
Excellent service and the staff were so friendly and helpful. My sons Nintendo controller broke and they went above and beyond to fix it. Would definitely go back.
The assistant came out to my car and advised on the best position of a mobile holder. Very pleasant and helpful.
Walk in to Drumcondra without an appointment, or book online and we will have the part ready.
