Field service iPad repair today
When an iPad breaks during a service call, the technician does not just lose a screen. Scheduling, routing, estimates, invoicing, card payments, and customer texts all live in one app on that one device. The appointment runs long or gets rescheduled, the invoice goes out late, and money that should have been collected in the driveway gets collected next week, if at all.
That is why we treat trade devices differently from walk-in repairs. Priority intake, parts stocked around the models your fleet actually runs, and repair options that do not require pulling a technician off their route.
Getting around the East Bay takes time. The average one-way commute in Alameda County is 31 minutes. That is the main reason we bring the repair to you instead of asking a technician to give up half a service day driving to us.
Cellular City has spent 20+ years repairing devices in the East Bay. Our business iPad fleet service has a dedicated track for field crews: HVAC, plumbing, electrical, restoration, real estate, telecom and installer fleets, home health, and any other business that puts an iPad in a technician's hand.

How much does fleet iPad repair cost, and how long does it take?
Most screen, battery, and charging port repairs are completed the same day. Trade accounts get priority intake during business hours, so a device dropped off in the morning is usually ready by closing.
Pricing depends on model and repair, and you get a flat quote before we start. Bulk rates apply when several devices come in together:
- ✓5 to 9 iPads. Standard discount off consumer pricing.
- ✓10 to 24 iPads. Larger fleet discount.
- ✓25 or more iPads. Best fleet rate, with on-site service often included.
- ✓Recurring trade account. Priority response, consistent pricing on common repairs, and an optional monthly arrangement.
We provide a written quote within one business day once we know your fleet size, iPad models, and repair needs.
Signs your fleet needs attention
Fleet problems rarely announce themselves. They show up as small workarounds nobody reports.
- ✓Batteries that no longer make it through a full service day
- ✓A charging cable that has to be held at an angle to connect
- ✓A screen that will not take a customer signature across the bottom third
- ✓Devices coming back from attics or hot truck cabs hot to the touch
- ✓Swollen batteries lifting the screen at a corner, a same-day safety priority
- ✓Job photos not getting taken because the screen is unreadable in direct sun
Heat is the one most fleet owners miss. Attics, rooftops, and parked truck cabs run far hotter than the range an iPad is built for, and the damage to a battery builds up quietly rather than all at once. That is why trade fleets lose batteries earlier than the calendar suggests. We break down exactly why in Why Do Field iPads Keep Failing on HVAC, Plumbing, and Electrical Jobs?
How it works
Three steps, usually the same day.
Call, book, or walk in
Tell us your fleet size, which iPad models your crews run, and what is failing. Walk-ins welcome at 2171 Doolittle Drive.
Free diagnosis & flat quote
We confirm the problem and give you exact pricing before any work starts. For fleets, that comes back as a written quote within one business day.
Fixed & guaranteed
Every repaired iPad is function-tested before it goes back to you, with OEM and genuine-grade parts and a 30-day warranty in writing.
Three ways to get fleet iPads repaired
Pick the option that keeps your crews on route.
- ✓Same-day in-shop with priority intake. Drop off in the morning, collect by closing. Best when one device is down and a technician can stop by between calls.
- ✓Same-day pickup and delivery, no trip fee. We collect from your office, repair, and return the same day, with no trip fee in San Leandro, San Lorenzo, Hayward, Castro Valley, or Oakland. Best when your crews cannot step away from scheduled calls.
- ✓On-site service for fleets. Our technician sets up a small repair station at your office or yard and works through the fleet, scheduled before crews leave in the morning or after they return. Best for HVAC, plumbing, electrical, restoration, and telecom crews with a central location.
Alameda County has 42,318 employer establishments. We work with the ones that run their day out of a van.

What we will not do
- ✓We do not bypass Activation Lock without verified business ownership. We help you through the legitimate Apple Business Manager path.
- ✓We do not push a repair when a device should be retired. If replacement is the smarter call, we say so.
- ✓We do not estimate water damage recovery before inspecting the device.
If a device still runs your dispatch software and can be repaired reliably, keeping it in service is usually the better call. Our repair or replace calculator can help you decide on a specific device.

What East Bay customers say
Real reviews from neighbors and businesses across San Leandro and the East Bay.
"I was visiting the area when my iPad would no longer take a charge. They were near my hotel and I just walked in the door without an appointment. The owner took my phone number and iPad and said he would give me a call. Within two hours he called to let me know it was ready to be picked up."
"James is extremely friendly and highly skilled, he did an amazing job repairing my daughter's iPad and her cell phone. He's respectful, efficient, and his pricing is very affordable. The turnaround time was unbelievably fast!"
"I came in early around 9:30 AM to get my broken camera repaired, and I was out by 10:20 AM, less than an hour!"

Field service iPad questions
Straight answers from our San Leandro bench.
How fast can you turn around a broken iPad?
Most screen, battery, and charging port repairs are same day. Trade accounts get priority intake during business hours, so a device dropped off in the morning is usually ready by closing.
Do you charge a trip fee for pickup and delivery?
No, not within San Leandro, San Lorenzo, Hayward, Castro Valley, or Oakland.
What warranty comes with a repair?
Repairs use OEM and genuine-grade parts and carry a 30-day warranty. You get the terms in writing before work starts.
Will you access the data or apps on our devices?
No. Repairs are limited to hardware. We do not sign in to your field service apps or view customer information, and chain of custody documentation is available on request.
Can you work on MDM-managed iPads?
Yes. We coordinate with your administrator or IT lead when a managed device needs extra steps. Activation Lock has to go through your company's Apple Business Manager process.
How many devices do we need for bulk pricing?
Bulk pricing starts at five devices in one visit. Below that, standard pricing applies with trade-account priority intake.
