I have a phone,Samsung S9 that needs the speaker replaced. I want to fix it, but don't wanna pay a "mall" price. Is there any place that I can send it to that does it a lot cheaper?
Is there any cell phone repair places that charge less for phone repair?

Depends. Some of this stuff is really nasty to do. It's pretty easy to damage a wire or other component. At least bringing in one to someone else will likely mean they will accept responsibility for damaging something that wasn't previously damaged.
If it’s an Apple product, yes. Samsung and most others use lots of special Tesa tape and adhesives to hold their devices together(so does Apple, but you can gain access to a iPhone with a pentalobe screwdriver and a little heat). Opening up a Samsung Galaxy or similar involves patience, heat and a light touch as not to break the glass in order to reveal the screws that hold things together.
I personally go to Yelp and look for the best quality place and the one with fewest screw up or complains, instead of finding the lowest price. They are usually just slightly more instead of double or triple. One I went to help "lend" me a screen so I can backup my data before sending into Apple Store for warranty repair. I paid for the labor and the guy was understanding, even lend me a cable while I was backing up the phone in his store.
Some idiot fanboy blamed me for being cheap and not getting a bigger icloud plan instead of apple not letting people backup a phone without a screen to unlock (say unlock via iTunes with iCloud account), they'll learn that one day it will hit them hard.

Most places are leery of doing it in the first place, the rear glass is a royal PITA to get off. When I shattered the screen on my Galaxy s7 edge they wanted me to sign a waiver saying they are not responsible for breaking the rear glass.

it's for a Samsung, not Apple
I'm pretty sure that he doesn't do Samsung phones.
