Quality – Quickness - Low Cost – How They Factor In?

As the saying goes, “you get what you pay for” and “if it seems too good to be true, it probably is”.  These sayings quite often apply to iPhone repairs and iPhone repair shops.  Now it’s one thing when an independent repair shop such as Precision iPhone Repair offers a great discount compared to the obscenely overpriced corporate entities that seeks to maintain a monopoly on sales, repairs and profits (Apple, Samsung, LG and Google). Those that hold the claims and titles of “authorized” repair centers want to force well intentioned and careful customers to come pay and arm and a leg for “genuine xyz parts” and because of course they are the only ones who know how to appropriately fix your device. Thus, commanding an exorbitant cost for the repair. In fact, many corporations have tried to so hard to prohibit independent repair shops from making iPhone or Android repairs that they have threatened it will void the warranty. If fact some corporate entities have tried to make an “unauthorized parts” simply no be able to function. However the courts have ruled this to be false and illegal, affirming the “right to repair”, thus, finally breaking the corporate stranglehold. Regardless the fact that an independent iPhone repair service can offer you a great price in comparison to the corporate greed mongers is no surprise. Many of us are extremely competent, well equipped with top-of-the-line tools and offer extreme amounts of conscientious concern for your device and the care and precision we put into the repair. Oftentimes, much, much, much more than some assembly line, conveyor belt corporate center that is seeking to pump out as many repairs as humanly possible and putting their technicians under time restrains and pressure, thus actually lowering quality and increasing mistakes! However, when one independent repair shop offers repairs at ¾ or even ½ the price of a competent independent repair shop, one may want to look closely and scrutinizingly ask why are they offering their service so cheap and how are they able to do so?

From being in the iPhone repair business I not only get to see a variety of broken screens and the unusual and sometime entertaining stories of how they got broken. I also get to see the insides of phones that have been previously repaired. What I find is sometimes horrifying as an independent repair shop technician.  It’s not uncommon for me to open up a used or previously repaired phone only to find missing parts, screws floating around  and/or jimmy rigged – un properly assembled components! Another common thing I find is that no gasket seal has been installed in the new phone, which is crucial to keeping your phone moisture and dirt free and additionally helps prevent another cracked screen by acting like a shock absorber. Lastly, what I commonly see is where the LCD/Digitizer (the two components your mobile phone screen is composed us) are actually separating/coming apart.  A clear sign of a cheap/inferior product/screen. Thus, the formula for an ultra-cheap screen repair is revealed. They are using ultra cheap inferior replacement screens and at the same time doing the repair in the very fastest and/or incompetent way.  This may get the customer by for a period but is not uncommon for that phone to experience problems or get broken over a much quicker period.

Here at Precision iPhone Repair, we want to offer you a great price and a quick turnaround. However, we don’t to do so by using the cheapest inferior products we can or by rushing the repair.  We schedule one repair in a precise time slot and work on one repair at a time. We carefully disassemble your screen and necessary components. We then remove your gasket seal which has been broken beyond repair after opening your phone. We clean the surface where the seal was to not only remove all the crud that may have accumulated in that area, but also in preparation for the new seal, so it has a nice clean surface to bond to. After the screen has been seated properly to the body of the phone we heat your phone up and set a small but significant weight on your phone so that the gasket seal bonds and seal properly. This a step your ultra cheap repair shop that offers repairs under 60 minutes simply does not have the time or desire to do.  We clean your speaker holes and charge port if needed. For some screens the camera fingerprint sensor must be transferred from the old screen to the new one. This takes significant time, a steady hand and patience. It can’t be rushed. We want your repair to be done right. While any one can make a mistake, our goal is to not make a single one. We believe our service here is superior to many services and we believe the rate we charge for you iPhone, Samsung, LG or Google device is a fair one and well worth it.
