Expert Advice & Tips

Vibration faults on the Galaxy A8 (2018) can stem from a worn motor, loose connectors, dust or moisture intrusion, and occasional drops. Over time, springs wear and signals misread, producing irregular vibration.

- WATER DAMAGE: Water exposure can corrode connectors and disrupt the motor drive.

What Our Customers Say
I popped into iRepair Guys Marsh on Westbourne Road after my Galaxy A8 started vibrating constantly. They quickly diagnosed a faulty vibration motor and had a genuine Samsung-compatible replacement in stock. The repair was done the same day, the price was clear, and my phone feels like new again.
We needed a quick fix for several company phones in Town Centre. The iRepair Guys team came to our office, fixed the vibration issue fast, and offered a sensible business discount. Reliability and speed beat what we’ve seen at Apple Stores.
As a student, I couldn’t justify paying Apple prices for a buzzing Galaxy A8. The quote was reasonable, they did the job quickly, and I even got a student discount. No quirks after the repair, and the device runs smoothly.
I mailed my Galaxy A8 from Almondbury for a vibration fault and was surprised how successful the mail-in service was. Clear instructions, fast turnaround, and they tested the phone thoroughly on return.
Our office relies on mobile devices. iRepair Guys fixed a vibration problem during a same-day visit to our premises in Marsh, and the technician also did a quick health check on other devices. Great for businesses.
We brought in multiple Galaxy A8s for vibration issues for different family members. The loyalty discount covered all repairs, and the service remained top-notch across the board. It's rare to get this level of care locally.
Frequently Asked Questions
Pricing & Value
Q:
How much does this repair cost?
Pricing for a Galaxy A8 (2018) vibration issue depends on the exact fault and which parts are required. We perform a diagnostic first and provide a clear, upfront quote before any parts are ordered. There are no hidden charges and VAT is included in all quotes. We use high‑quality, compatible parts and our process emphasises value: you get reliable, tested components and a 12‑month warranty on workmanship.
Q:
Why cheaper than Apple?
Apple Stores carry premium pricing due to higher overheads and branding. We operate locally across Huddersfield with two stores (Marsh and Town Centre) and offer same‑day service with skilled technicians and Samsung parts sourced from trusted suppliers. Our streamlined workflow and local presence mean you pay less for the same quality, plus a warranty that outlasts Apple’s 90‑day offer.
Q:
Any hidden costs?
No. We provide a transparent diagnostic and a fixed quote before we proceed. There are no surprise charges for pickups, drop‑offs, or consumables, and VAT is included in the quoted price. If additional work is required after the initial fix, we confirm pricing before continuing.
Q:
Payment plans or discounts?
We offer student and business discounts where applicable. Accepted payment methods include card, cash, and bank transfer. There are no long‑term contracts—pay for the repair you need and enjoy ongoing value from our two Huddersfield locations and local mobile options.
Quality & Process
Q:
Parts quality?
We use OEM‑grade or-equivalent high‑quality replacement parts for the Samsung Galaxy A8 (2018). Every part is tested for fit, function, and durability before installation, and we verify compatibility with your device’s sensors, haptics, and connectivity.
Q:
How long does repair take?
Most vibration repairs are completed the same day in‑store, typically within 1–2 hours. If we need to source a rare part, we’ll provide a realistic timeframe and keep you updated. Mobile repairs can usually be scheduled for the same day within a flexible window.
Q:
Will features work after? (Face ID, etc.)
Yes. We reassemble to exact factory tolerances and test all features after the fix. On the Galaxy A8, this includes vibration feedback, touchscreen accuracy, speakers, mic, and network functions. If a feature temporarily behaves differently, we rectify it on the spot to restore full functionality.
Q:
Success rate?
With 8+ years of experience and a thorough QA process, our vibration repairs for Galaxy devices consistently meet high standards. Our customer satisfaction sits at 98%, and we back this with a 12‑month warranty on parts and workmanship.
Service Options
Q:
Walk-in, mobile, or mail-in?
We offer three convenient options. Walk‑in at our Marsh store is ideal for quick checks and same‑day fixes.

Q:
How does mobile repair work?
A fully equipped technician visits your chosen site with the necessary parts for the vibration repair. We confirm the service window, diagnose on site if needed, replace the motor or related components, and test the phone in front of you before handing it back. Mobile service is available across Marsh, Town Centre, and surrounding areas.
Q:
Need appointment?
Walk‑ins are welcome at Marsh during our posted hours, but we also offer pre‑booked slots to reduce waiting. If you’re short on time, booking a time helps us prioritise your Samsung Galaxy A8 repair and ensures a swift, same‑day turnaround.

Warranty
Q:
What warranty?
All vibration repairs on the Galaxy A8 (2018) come with a minimum 12‑month warranty on parts and workmanship. Where applicable, longer warranties may apply to specific parts. Your warranty is designed to be straightforward and protect you against defects or issues arising from the repair.
Q:
If something goes wrong?
If the issue reappears within the warranty period, we’ll re‑service the device at no extra cost. We’ll perform a full diagnostic again, confirm the fault, and repair it using the same high standards until the problem is resolved to your satisfaction.
Q:
Affect manufacturer warranty?
Using a trusted third‑party repair service does not automatically void your manufacturer warranty. We are transparent about our processes, and unless a manufacturer requires you to return the device for their own service, your Samsung warranty remains intact. If in doubt, we can advise on the best course of action for your specific device.
Technical
Q:
Device-specific technical question
For the Samsung Galaxy A8 (2018), vibration issues are typically caused by wear to the vibration motor, a damaged flex cable, or a faulty controller board. Our technicians autonomously verify the motor, inspect the connector, and check the PCB for any signs of damage. We run a full functional test after replacement to ensure seamless operation, including haptic feedback and call handling.
Q:
What causes this issue?
Vibration faults usually stem from frequent use, impacts, or moisture exposure that wears the motor, loosens connectors, or damages internal flex cables. Prolonged use beyond design limits can also degrade performance. Regular maintenance and careful handling help minimise the risk.
Q:
Repair or replace device?
Generally, a vibration fault is repairable with a replacement motor or related components. We assess overall device health and recommend replacement only if the fault recurs after a reliable repair, or if other components show wear that would undermine the device’s performance.
Q:
Fix multiple issues?
If multiple faults are identified (e.g., screen, speaker, or charging issues alongside vibration), we offer multi‑repair packages. Our technicians provide a detailed quote for each fix and apply any available loyalty or business discounts to maximise value.
