@djchoi  Lookup the closest UbreakIfix location. They are the authorized Google repair centres in Canada.

Repairing often not worth it unless you can DIY. Labor costs makes it too high.

The phone itself is worth around $400 if working and still in good condition.

 

But they don't seem to make the display panels anymore. iFixit and Amazon don't sell anymore, eBay prices range from $150 to $250+ for (used/salvaged) Grade B and Grade C panels. Also $35 to $75 for touchscreen digitizer, if it's broken. And $15 for gorilla glasstop, if it's cracked.

 

You could do the repair yourself (see iFixit guides and videos). You would need to spend about $20 for the special screwdrivers and tools if you dont already have.

You could pay someone else to do the repair, any competent laptop/cellphone repair shop will charge about $20 to $50, it would take them 10 minutes or 20 minutes to charge you for an hour of labour. (Plus of course the cost of parts, plus shipping costs and delays since it's unlikely they'll have any in stock.)

 

If the data on this device are precious and irreplaceable then repair cost is unavoidable. That's why backups.

 

If the battery on this device is approaching or exceeding two years then it's likely dying as well. $45 for new battery.

 

You might also want to invest in screen protector and phone case. For obvious reasons.

The LCD part goes for around ~$200 if you throw in the cost of labour I wouldn't be surpised if it costs over $230. You can message all the smartphone repair shops nearby with your problem and see which one will do it the cheapest. In all consideration the repair for this phone is going to be really high and I don't think it's worth the investment, but that's for you decide.

@djchoiDepends where you go it can vary a lot. Generall you get what you pay for. Go to kijiji in your area and type in google pixel 2xl screen repair and call the closest 10 shops to get a price then look up their business and reviews. It's best to go with someone that has a reputation and an address with reviews of previous success otherwise its a crapshoot.
