What to expect from a taptic engine repair here

Walk in or book ahead

No appointment needed. Booking online reserves your time and makes sure the Taptic Engine for your model is pulled and waiting.

Fixed while you wait

A Taptic Engine replacement takes about 30 minutes on most models. Older iPhones with a vibration motor take about the same.

Tested before it leaves

We test vibration on silent, keyboard haptics, system haptics, and the haptic feedback on the Home button or Camera Control before handing it back.

Two ways to fix iPhone vibration, one honest answer

Some dead-vibration visits are a settings or software problem: haptics turned off, a Focus mode, or a glitch that a restart clears. When the motor itself has failed, rattles, or came loose in a drop, the Taptic Engine is replaced. The free diagnostic tells you which one before anything is charged.

Check first

Settings and connector check

We confirm vibration and haptics are enabled, rule out Focus modes and software, and reseat the Taptic Engine connector if it's loose.

Best for: vibration that stopped after an update, a drop, or a settings change.

Free with diagnostic

Full fix

Taptic Engine replacement

The haptic motor is replaced when it's dead, weak, or buzzing and rattling instead of tapping.

Best for: no vibration on any setting, a weak or rattling buzz, or a motor damaged by liquid.

Starting at $39

iPhone Taptic Engine repair and replacement

We replace the Taptic Engine on every iPhone that has one, from the iPhone 17 lineup back to the iPhone 6s, and the vibration motor on the iPhone 6 and older. Haptic motors for current and recent models are stocked in our Glendale shop, so most repairs are finished in a single visit. Whether vibration is dead, weak, or rattling, the fix starts the same way: a free diagnostic to rule out settings and software, check the connector, and test the motor.

Prefer not to come in? We accept mail-in Taptic Engine repairs from anywhere in the Los Angeles area, with the same parts, warranty, and turnaround once your phone reaches the bench.

What the Taptic Engine does

The Taptic Engine is the linear motor at the bottom of your iPhone that produces every buzz and tap: vibration on silent, keyboard haptics, the click of the Home button on the iPhone 7 and 8, the feel of Camera Control on the iPhone 16, and the feedback for Face ID, Apple Pay, and system alerts. When it fails, all of those go quiet at once, which is the giveaway that it's the motor rather than one app. It sits next to the battery and the loudspeaker, so a hard drop or liquid at the bottom of the phone is the usual cause.

How much does iPhone Taptic Engine repair cost?

The diagnostic, settings check, and connector reseat are free. A Taptic Engine replacement runs $39 to $89 depending on the model, and a vibration motor on older iPhones is $39. Tap your model above for the exact live price, or use this guide:

Repair Price Time
Free haptics diagnostic and connector reseat $0 5–10 min
Taptic Engine replacement (iPhone 6s and newer) $39–$89 ~30 min
Vibration motor replacement (iPhone 6 and older) $39 ~30 min

Every replacement price includes the diagnostic, the new part, labor, and the limited lifetime warranty. There are no hidden bench fees, and the price you're quoted is the price you pay.

Why Glendale chooses Pro iPhone Repair for haptic repair

Plenty of shops quote a new motor the moment vibration stops. We look first. Sometimes it's a setting, a Focus mode, or a connector knocked loose in a drop, and we'll say so. When the motor really has failed, we replace it with a quality part and back it for life. We've been repairing iPhones in Glendale since 2008, and if you've been searching for "iPhone vibration repair near me" anywhere in Glendale, Burbank, Pasadena, or the foothills, our customer reviews will tell you what to expect.

What a Taptic Engine repair here includes

Free haptics diagnostic

We check vibration and haptic settings, rule out Focus modes and software, and test the motor and its connector before quoting.

Connector reseat

A Taptic Engine knocked loose in a drop is reseated and tested at no charge.

Motor replacement when needed

A dead, weak, or rattling motor is replaced with a new Taptic Engine matched to your model.

Every haptic tested

Vibration on silent, keyboard and system haptics, Home button or Camera Control feedback, and Face ID and Apple Pay taps before the phone leaves the bench.

Limited lifetime warranty

Every Taptic Engine replacement is covered against part and workmanship defects for life.

Check these before you come in

A few settings can make it look like the motor is dead. In Settings > Sounds & Haptics, make sure Play Haptics in Ring Mode and Play Haptics in Silent Mode are on. In Settings > Accessibility > Touch, check that Vibration is on. Turn off any Focus mode, then restart the phone. If there's still no buzz on an incoming call, or the vibration is weak or rattly, the motor is the problem. Bring it in for the free diagnostic.

Built around the customer, not the ticket

Every job starts with a free diagnostic and ends with a real test. The price you were quoted is the price you pay. You'll get a text when the phone is ready, you can follow progress with our repair tracker, and if the repair ever fails to hold up, the limited lifetime warranty means you bring it back and we make it right.

Taptic Engine Repair: FAQs

How much does it cost to fix iPhone vibration?

The diagnostic and connector reseat are free. A Taptic Engine replacement runs $39 to $89 depending on the model. The free diagnostic tells you whether you need a new motor before anything is charged.

Why did my iPhone stop vibrating?

The usual causes are a setting or Focus mode, a Taptic Engine connector knocked loose in a drop, or a motor that has failed or been damaged by liquid. We check all three.

What is the Taptic Engine?

It's the linear haptic motor at the bottom of the phone that produces every vibration and tap, including keyboard haptics, the Home button click on the iPhone 7 and 8, and the Camera Control feel on the iPhone 16.

How long does a Taptic Engine replacement take?

About 30 minutes on most models when the part is in stock, which it usually is for current and recent iPhones.

Will a new Taptic Engine feel the same as the original?

Yes. We use motors matched to your model, and we test every haptic so the taps feel crisp and the vibration is at full strength.

Why does my iPhone rattle when it vibrates?

A worn or damaged motor, or one that has come loose from its bracket. The Taptic Engine is reseated or replaced, and the rattle goes away.

Will I lose my data during the repair?

No. A Taptic Engine repair doesn't touch your storage, and we never erase or reset a device to fix haptics.

Is there a warranty on Taptic Engine repair?

Every Taptic Engine replacement comes with our limited lifetime warranty against part and workmanship defects. Accidental, physical, and liquid damage after the repair are not covered.

Do I need an appointment?

No. Walk-ins are welcome Monday to Saturday at 225 E Broadway, Suite 102D in downtown Glendale. Booking online reserves your time and makes sure the Taptic Engine for your model is pulled before you arrive.
