Pricing & Business
What do you charge for Steam Deck screen repair?
I'm curious about what others are charging for Steam Deck screen repairs. Recently, I've had a few customers come in with cracked screens, and I want to make sure I'm pricing it competitively. From what I've found, the cost of the replacement screens usually hovers around $80 to $100 from my usual suppliers. I typically charge around $150 for the labor, but I'm wondering if that aligns with what others are doing. Do you include any warranty on the parts? I want to make sure I'm not underpricing myself, especially since these repairs can be a bit tricky.

I usually charge around $160 total for a Steam Deck screen repair, which includes $90 for the part and $70 for labor. I source my screens from a reliable vendor called iFixit, and they have a good reputation for quality. I do offer a 30-day warranty on the parts, which seems to reassure customers and helps build trust. I find that being transparent about the cost breakdown helps too; it makes customers feel like they’re getting value for their money. Also, I use RepairShopr for tracking jobs, and it’s great for keeping tabs on my pricing adjustments.
I've been charging $140 for Steam Deck screen repairs, using parts that come in at about $70 from my local supplier. I don’t offer a warranty on the parts, but I do make sure to explain the risks involved with third-party parts to customers. My workflow involves checking the device thoroughly for other issues before starting the repair, which sometimes leads to additional work. When it comes to pricing, I just keep an eye on what competitors are doing in my area, and adjust if necessary. It's always a balancing act between being competitive and covering your overhead.
