iPhone Repair for Maximum Trade-in Value

Are you considering buying a new device? Don't throw out your old electronics, get them repaired for maximum trade-in credit

Apple is known for its innovative and intuitive products. If you're tech-savvy, chances are that your iPhone is an essential part of your life. However, as we all know, phones don't last forever. As soon as the battery starts to lose its juice or the phone's screen cracks from a fall off the couch (oops), it can be tempting to go with a new device - but before you do that, consider trading in your old iPhone for maximum trade-in value!

Fix your iPhone and trade it in to get the most money!

So many people are unaware of one of the best parts of being an iPhone owner. It’s that they retain their value! These days you have so many options for upgrading, financing or trading in your old device for credit toward your new one. Often people see a cracked iPhone screen and toss it in a drawer and forget about it.

That’s an incredible waste of money! Having an options like uBrokeiT iPhone repair & iPad repair makes it so easy to schedule your repair appointment online and repair your device in often 15-30 minutes. Once your iPhone is free of physical damage you can then trade it in for considerably more money than if broken. At this current time, Apple is offering up to $1000 trade-in value depending on what device you have. It’s a no-brainer to fix your device and upgrade to that new device today!

A few other things to keep in mind

1. Buying a new iPhone will cost you $700-$1400 (YIKES)

2. Repairing it will only cost about $50-$375 depending on what phone you have

3. The average lifespan of an iPhone battery is about 2 years, so replacing it gives you more time to save up for the next one

4. You can still use your old phone as a backup or a second phone if something happens to your new one

5. Your repaired phone may be cheaper than buying a used version on eBay or Amazon

How to Pick a Quality Independent Repair Shop

“How to pick a quality independent repair shop?” You wake up, look outside and it seems like a perfect day for a run. You’re jogging along the beautiful bike path in Santa Monica, CA listening to your favorite new tunes. Just when everything seems perfect, your phone slips out of your hands and drops to the hard concrete.

Next, you take a breath and pray your phone is still intact. But, this time you’re out of luck. You decide to take your phone to an independent repair shop because you want to save yourself some time and money. Since there are tons of repair shops in Los Angeles these days, you find yourself wondering “How do pick a quality independent repair shop?”.

When deciding on a shop, you will want to consider:

  • The quality of a shop’s replacement parts

  • The cost of repairs

  • Warranty (do they offer one?)

    Their reputation.

QUALITY REPLACEMENT PARTS

It would be nice if every shop used high-quality parts, but the truth is most repair shops do not. One thing to be cautious of is if an independent repair shop that is not an Apple Authorized dealer is telling you they use original parts.

BEWARE! It is likely they are not an honest repair center and are hoping you will not notice. Many shops choose to use cheaper parts to boost their profits. If you are shopping around for screen replacement, here are some signs that a part is low quality:

BLUEISH HUE / DIMMED BRIGHTNESS

If the replacement screen’s brightness seems to be drastically dimmed, and has a blueish tint to it, the part likely uses an aftermarket/poor-quality LCD.

At uBrokeiT, we don’t take any shortcuts when it comes to parts. We source only the highest quality parts available on the market and charge a fair rate for our work.

REPAIR COST

If the price of a repair seems too good to be true, then it probably is. High-quality parts generally cost the same no matter who the supplier is. Shops that charge a significant amount less than what most shops charge are able to do this because they buy inexpensive knockoff parts. Keep this in mind when you think you’ve found a bargain. When it comes to phone or tablet repair the saying is true, “you get what you pay for”.

WARRANTY

Another sign of a shop that uses cheap parts is short warranty periods, or even worse, no warranty at all. Reputable shops that use high-quality parts will offer a warranty of some kind.

A 90-day warranty is pretty standard in this industry. We offer a six-month warranty on our repairs. This warranty covers any manufactures defect. That of course does not include the user breaking the glass.

SHOP REPUTATION, AND TRANSPARENCY

Can you find this shop on Yelp or Google? A trustworthy shop is open to making its presence known to the public and allows others to provide public feedback. It is easy for a dishonest shop to tell you they use the highest quality parts, but where it will truthfully show is in their online reviews. Check out our Yelp page for some of our reviews
