Places that repair water damage iphone in Socal?

Hey everyone. Does anyone know where I can get my water damage iphone repair in Socal? There is nothing wrong with it except for the screen. It turns dim at night time but it usually works fine during the day. Low battery level can be a cause but I am not sure. I answered the phone while I was taking bath, a few drop of water was splashed onto it. I did not even know it got water in it until I saw something wrong with the screen because it was turning dim. Not really dim but different than usual. I figured that the sensor is pink(red). Now I know that it is water damaged. The speakers, headphones, all functions work well. I mean it is still functional but I am not happy with the way the screen is. So here is my guess, low battery level or the screen is damaged due to water damage. If anyone has same problem and got it fixed, please let me know how. Or anyone knows places that can be able to fix the phone please let me know. Hopefully they charge me a cheap price since the phone is still under 100% working condition. Thanks everyone .

make an apple appointment and see if they replace it for free.. just play dumb about water, and if they do discover that is the problem, ask them exactly what the problem is.

yup very important lol. Well, I usually answer phone call while taking bath and the phone was fine. Like I said, I did not even know how the water could get into it.

Thanks for advice everyone, I will bring it to Apple store ASAP but the screen usually works well during the day. So at the time I bring it to the store, I dont think the screen is having problem. Maybe I will bring it to the store around 6pm, hopefully It shows the problem. But first of all, I will need to bring the pink color sensor back to white and this is the hardest part.

Thanks for your help but I dont want an in store technical support because if I bring it in and tell them about the water problem. They will know that my phone is water damaged and void the warranty. I am having 2 choices now, 1 is to take it to a private place and have it fixed. 2 is to take it to Apple store and play dumb and hope that I can get a new phone for free but then I need to get the pink color back to white which I dont know how.

where is this pink piece? I know it's normally behind the battery on most phones but the iphone battery isn't removable? How do you know it's pink?
