6 Questions to Ask Before Letting Someone Fix Your Broken Phone

by Dillon Patterson Article Publisher

Before letting just anyone fix your broken phone you need to make sure they are reputable, experienced and stand behind their repairs. By letting just anyone fix your phone you put yourself at risk for identify theft, public humiliation and a poorly fixed phone that is broken beyond repair.

What Risks Do You Take When You Let Someone Fix Your Device?

-Your personal information could be hacked. When you trust someone to fix your broken phone or shattered screen you grant them access to your device. That means you open up the risk that they could look at or even send out personal information or photos stored on your device. -Faulty or cheap repairs could further break your device. Hiring someone inexperienced to take care of the task could end in an even more broken device than you started out with. Even someone experienced could use cheap and incompatible parts that cause more problems than resolutions. -You could get ripped off, paying more for repairs than your device is even worth. If, or rather when, your phone breaks you’ll need to find someone to fix it for you. Chances are your phone will break at some point in time, as according to the numbers the majority of phones do. You can help protect your device against the above risks by asking the following questions before letting just anyone fix your broken phone.

Before Letting Someone Fix Your Broken Phone Ask These Questions

Can I watch you conduct the repairs?

If a repair specialist wants to perform phone repairs in a private backroom you have every right to feel a little suspicious. That’s why we perform most repairs directly in front of our customers. When you hand over your device to someone you have no way of knowing what he or she is doing unless you can see him or her in action. If you have to send your phone off to get fixed, it’s wise to search through your data and delete or move any pictures or information you wouldn’t want a stranger to see.

What kind of replacement parts do you use?

If a part on your phone needs to be replaced the replacement part must be of high enough quality to be considered efficient. The market is inundated with cheap replacement parts that’ll compromise the quality of your device, and may interfere with its ability to properly work at all. High quality replacement parts that are comparable to your device’s original parts are key to long lasting repairs that make your phone work as good as new. That’s why we only use high quality parts proven compatible with your particular smart phone.

Do you offer micro soldering repairs?

If your phone’s motherboard is damaged you’ll need someone skilled at micro soldering repairs to fix the issue. Going into the motherboard without the right micro soldering tools can be devastating to your device, creating even more problems than you started out with. Surprisingly, very few phone repair shops in the US offer micro soldering repairs due to the high cost of the machinery and training. My Broken Phone remains one of the few US-based repair shops to offer micro soldering at 2 of our locations. We felt it was our duty to invest in the technology and training because micro soldering can repair devices that other repair methods cannot. And after all, our goal is to fix as many broken smart phones as possible!

How much experience do you have doing this?

You don’t want a cell phone repair specialist messing with your phone if it’s their first or second day on the job. Experience is fundamental to a successfully fixed device.

Do you offer any sort of warranty on repairs?

In case your phone becomes more broken or stops working one day after you pay for repairs, make sure there is some sort of limited warranty offered. This will give you peace of mind and help ensure that the technician fixing your device truly believes in their ability to fix your phone.

Do you have any online reviews? Could I talk to previous clients?

Do some investigative work to see what others are saying about someone’s ability to repair phones. You’re likely in good hands if you see a lot of positive reviews. On the other hand, if the Internet is full of complaints and warnings you know to run away fast.

The Number One Trusted Name in Cell Phone Repairs

Your Home Town Wireless is the number one trusted name for cell phone repairs. In proof, we continue to open up more shops around the US. Over the years we’ve heard some pretty crazy stories about inadequate cell phone repairs, and we don’t want you to go through what others already have. That’s why we make it so easy to stop by and get your phone fixed on the spot. If you don’t live near one of our store locations, you can always send us your phone by mail for speedy repairs.
