What if I provide the part needed for repair?
If you have a specific part that you would like us to use for the repair, we can certainly accommodate that request. In such cases, we charge a labor fee, which typically ranges from $30 to $50, depending on the complexity of the repair.
However, it’s important to note that when using customer-provided parts, we are unable to offer our standard warranty for the repair. The warranty we provide covers both the parts and labor when we supply and install the parts ourselves. Since we cannot guarantee the quality or functionality of customer-provided parts, we cannot extend our warranty to cover those parts.
We strive to provide exceptional service and ensure the highest level of customer satisfaction. If you choose to provide the part for the repair, we will still carry out the repair with the utmost care and professionalism. Please consider this information when making your decision, and feel free to reach out to us if you have any further questions or concerns.

What is a screen repair?
A screen repair is the replacement of the screen glass only. This is for when the damage is only to the glass, for example the screen is cracked and the LCD is working perfectly.
