What you thought you knew but didn't about cell phone repair

Cell phone repair is a confusing affair at times. A lot of people claim they know how to do it, but what do you absolutely have to know about this service? Well...



1)    Only certified technicians can fix my phone:

You do need to have experience to fix a phone and technicians can gain experience by using the vast resources available today. Certification can be obtained only from private cell phone repair courses. Some people need to be certified, but distinguished professionals can be found through word of mouth or online reviews.

2)    My warranty will be voided if a third party repairs my phone:

An iPhone or Samsung phone with a broken screen is already warranty voided. Retailers will try and convince you to replace it. However, going to an iPhone screen repair Mississauga shop will not void the phone warranty and repairing it will be cheaper than replacing it most of the time.

3)    Repairing my phone will cost too much money:

The actual cost varies based on location, but the repair is usually worth it once you learn how much the value of your device is. Industry reports state that an iPhone 6 costs 179$ which is a small price to pay for a device that adds a lot to your life.

4)    You’re charging 200$ to fix a 100$ phone?

The value of flagship devices like the Samsung Galaxy and the iPhone is greatly underestimated. A steal like 199$ over two years affects how we perceive the cost of the device. The parts are of high quality and have to be replaced sometimes leading to this revelation.

5)    My cell phone is beyond repair:

It isn't, you'll see.

6)    I can fix my device myself, just need some research:

While self-sufficiency is something to be encouraged, you should be an experienced or extremely confident person to try this. The process is harder than it looks and a technician might be able to get a tour disassembled phone working again but it will be frustrating and time-consuming. Let the professional do their job.

7)    Phone repair shops are shady places and their employees aren't certified:


The industry as a whole shouldn't be seen as bad because of a few bad eggs. 90% of phone repair shops are owned independently small business shops that thrive on community reputation. As the first point mentioned, there are ways to detect untrustworthy shops. The industry is at the most, filled with experienced technicians who love to help people. So, find an iPhone repair Mississauga shop and get your phone repaired.
