Q: Is it better to repair or replace a smartphone?

• <div><p>It&rsquo;s usually more affordable to repair your smartphone than replace it, with repairs averaging around <b>$150</b> and a full replacement averaging over <b>$800</b>. There are exceptions to this, as severe water damage might be prohibitively expensive, depending on the replacement cost of your phone. For less severe damage, like a broken charging or headphone port, buttons or rockers that don&rsquo;t work, or a broken screen, you&rsquo;ll likely pay far less for a smartphone repair, making it the better option.</p></div>

Q: Can I fix a broken phone screen myself?

• <div><p>It is possible to fix a broken phone screen yourself using a phone repair kit, but we don&rsquo;t recommend it. Replacing your screen isn&rsquo;t as simple as taking the old one off and putting the new one on, and DIYers can mess up many steps. Those include opening the phone without damaging internal components, removing internal pieces without breaking them, and calibrating the screen after replacement. Any mistakes could lead to problems with functionality and might lead to your phone failing to work. It&rsquo;s best to hire a phone repair technician who can fix your phone screen efficiently.</p></div>

Q: How long does repair take?

• <div><p>Repairs take 2-6 hours, but extensive frame replacements may extend the timeline.</p></div>

Q: Is it less expensive to repair a phone or get a new one?

• <div><p>In most cases, it is more affordable to repair a cellphone than it is to buy a new one. The average cost to repair a phone is around <b>$180</b>, while the average smartphone costs between <b>$720</b> <b>and</b> <b>$1,000 </b>or more. Repair costs are almost never more than 50% of the total phone cost, with the high end of repairs costing around <b>$350</b>. If you hire a professional phone repair service near you, you&rsquo;ll usually save significant funds repairing instead of replacing your cellphone.</p></div>

Q: Who is the person who fixes phones?

• <div><p>A cellphone repair technician is the person that typically repairs phones, and there are specialties within that position, like a cellphone screen repair technician. In most cases, you can send your phone to your manufacturer for repair, but this option usually takes significantly longer and costs more than hiring a local cellphone repair specialist. If you choose a reputable repair technician, the repair will be more or less identical to what the manufacturer would provide.</p></div>

I found Glas Tek on Angie's List and Dennis Caswell, the owner, showed up on time and repaired the chip quickly. He was friendly and professional and he charged what he told me it would cost over the phone. I would recommend Glas Tek Windshield Repair to anyone. It was a good experience.
