Many of us cannot imagine spending a day without our cell phones. However, it is not uncommon for people to accidently drop their phones which leads to damage on the phone rendering it useless. Based on research conducted by Unduit Wireless, on average every person in United States needs a phone repair once every fourteen (14) months. It is also true that many people prefer to buy a new cell phone after the old phone is damaged but surprisingly, the real reason is not the cost of repair but not having quick access to low cost and trust worthy repair services provider.

Trusting a repair service with our devices is especially hard when it comes to cell phone repairs. And yes, giving full access to any repair tech does raise all kinds of alarms.

In another user survey Unduit Wireless found that 2/5 working professionals living in Chicago city had a broken phone in their drawers. And the primary reason for not getting repairs was lack of time. Annoyed by the unknown or daunting process to get repairs, a lot of customers decide to buy brand new phones.

The risk in such repairs is that the device can be further damaged by the tech if the person is not experienced in repairs. Another issue with such services is the reliability factor to ensure the tech shows up within requested window.
For most of such services, setting up an appointment for a same day repair is as easy as filling out information on a few forms.

2. Lifetime Warranty
Most quality on-demand repair services provide Lifetime Warranty on parts and labor. The industry is currently going through massive transformation and warranty is one of the key benefits for customers which assures that the repair provider guarantees their work. Do not give your business to companies that are not willing to stand by their work and only offer limited warranty
3. Convenience
Buying a new cell phone would require to have data transferred from the old phone. If the old phone is faulty or malfunctioning, there is possibility of data loss which can be averted by repairs. At minimum, repair shops are able to retrieve data from broken devices. That’s a huge life saver!
3. Environment
Recycling cell phones is a big win for our planet. Dead cell phones end up in ditches and the remains can last for years. Reusing cell phones to get the full life out of a device is not only cost effective but also keeps our planet from getting polluted. Yes, it’s a win win!
Conclusion

With on-demand, Uber like repair providers, most repairs can be done without leaving our doorstep at or below the prices customers pay at local repair shop. This change in industry is welcoming and only plays to the benefit of customers. With devices such as phones and tablets, becoming an integral part of our lives, such services will only become a necessity for each one of us
