At Mr. Phix, we pride ourselves on offering high-quality, reliable phone repairs that our customers can trust. But recently, we’ve seen something that’s left us shaking our heads—and we feel it’s time to address it. One of our valued customers came to us with a phone that had already been repaired by another local shop, and frankly, the state of that repair made us question how some places are getting away with calling themselves “experts.”

Upon opening up the phone, we immediately noticed a few glaring issues:

• Missing Screws: It’s not just a minor oversight—screws are essential to keeping the integrity of your phone intact. Without them, your phone could be more vulnerable to damage from dust, debris, or even a simple drop.

• Stripped Pentalobes: The screws that hold your phone together are no joke. If you don’t have the right tools or skills to tighten them properly, you end up with stripped screws that can’t even be removed. That’s a recipe for disaster if you ever need a repair down the line.

• Fingerprints Inside the Phone: We get it—repairing phones is a delicate process. But when someone works on your phone without properly cleaning their hands or taking precautions, you’re left with smudges, fingerprints, and debris on delicate internal components. Not only is it unprofessional, but it’s also a sign of sloppy workmanship.

• Damaged Internal Components: Worst of all, some of the internal components of the phone were visibly damaged. Whether from rough handling or a lack of expertise, this kind of damage is often irreversible and costly to fix.

At Mr. Phix, we don’t believe in offering low-quality repairs just to undercut the competition. Our technicians are trained, experienced, and use the best tools and replacement parts available. We take pride in our work, ensuring that every repair is done right the first time, with no shortcuts.

The Moral of the Story? You Get What You Pay For.

While we understand that price matters, it’s important to remember that phone repairs are not something you should cut corners on. If you choose a cheaper option just to save a few bucks, you might end up spending more in the long run when your phone requires further repairs—or worse, when it becomes completely unusable due to damage caused by an unqualified repair.

So next time you’re deciding where to take your phone for a repair, ask yourself: Do I want a quick fix that might cost me more down the line, or do I want the job done right the first time?

At Mr. Phix, we’ve got your back. Come see why quality repairs matter. We won’t cut corners, and we promise to treat your phone with the care it deserves.
