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.

In this day and age all of us have so much personal data on our phones from pictures to emails to financial data. 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. Apple care can be a viable option, but in most cases, that can be a costly endeavour and wait times in most Apple shops can be quite discouraging. 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 good news is that there are services popping up where the users can get phone repairs done without leaving their doorstep. Yes! Talk about Uber of phone repairs. Such services offer the convenience of repairs at customers’ doorstep. The techs are background checked for safety.

One big watch out while qualifying such services is to understand who will perform the repair on your phone. Most of such services partner with local freelancers who typically do not go through any formal training on device repairs. 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. Unduit Wireless, a major player in on-demand repair services makes it real easy for customers to request available timeslot. An example is the following link (www.unduitwireless.com/ondemand) where customers can request a repair timeslot in just a few steps and less than two minutes. Once the request is submitted, the tech shows up at the time and place of customer’s choosing. Most of Unduit Wireless customers get phone repairs while getting a cup of coffee at local coffee shop, their home or at their offices. Most repairs take less than 30 minutes and almost all of the customers are pleasantly surprised to see how painless and convenient such repair process can be.

Here are a few more reasons why mobile repair is the best option:

1. Cost

Buying a new cell phone is definitely more expensive than repairing cell phone or tablet. Most repairs cost less than a $100 while a new device can easily cost north of $700, depending on the phone model and the contract. So why break the bank to repair a broken phone. Doesn’t sound smart! Does it?

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

In conclusion, getting devices repaired is cheaper and environment friendly. 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
