Opposite experience here w/ two uBreakiFix stores and a Pixel 3. Neither time I was asked to provide the PIN. The first time I asked and they gave me a strong "no". No factory wipe, etc.

Same. I've had them replace phone screens for me multiple times--both in Austin and Atlanta--and neither location asked for the PIN nor reset my phone.
