Pixel 8, 2 or 3 years old, got a pink line on one side of the screen. Used it like that before I thought about repair, and it turns out my phone was valid for an extended warranty.

Drove an hour to my easiest repair centre, got it done with zero required documentation I spent hours trying to get an I’m now the happy owner of a shiny new screen.

I wish i could have saved the petrol money and fixed it myself, but at least I got a £175-ish repair done for free, and a fresh warranty on the screen to boot!

    There are Pixel repair centers?
    I thought, you would have to send the phones in for repair…

    But apart from that:
    Great for you!

    (And I also still remember the time it was quite easy to exchange the screen - did it without much hassle on my Galaxy S2 back in the day. No glued together parts, just screws and re-attachable connectors.)
