Q: Is it worth it to repair a cellphone?

• <div><p>Yes, it&rsquo;s usually more cost-effective to repair a cellphone than replace it entirely. Phone repair services can be costly, depending on the extent and type of damage, but you&rsquo;ll almost always spend less on repair than on replacement. Plus, replacing the phone might not help if the problem lies with your service provider, such as issues like dropped calls or poor network connection. However, it&rsquo;s worth repairing your phone for mid-level issues like a cracked screen, damaged headphone jack, or smashed charger port.</p></div>

Q: Can I put a screen protector on a cracked screen?

• <div><p>Yes, you can usually put a screen protector over a cracked screen, especially if there aren&rsquo;t pieces of glass missing. This method is a useful temporary solution to avoid cutting your fingers on your broken screen and to avoid further cracking or losing glass and exposing the inner components of your phone. However, a screen protector isn&rsquo;t a permanent solution to a cracked screen. You should still take your phone to a professional phone repair technician to get the screen replaced for proper and safe functionality. This service should only cost you about <b>$150</b>, in most cases.</p></div>

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: What are common issues requiring repair?

• <div><p>Fabric tears, faded material, broken frames, and malfunctioning retractable mechanisms often need professional attention.</p></div>

Q: Can I replace my own phone screen?

• <div><p>You can purchase a DIY phone screen replacement kit, but it&rsquo;s usually a better idea to have a professional technician address the problem. Many DIYers who attempt a screen replacement end up with poor screen functionality afterward, including ghost touches and partial screen functionality. Replacing a phone screen is a complicated process that demands experience, so it&rsquo;s a good idea to defer to a professional from the start. Any mistakes you make while replacing your screen could lead to you having to pay a professional to step in anyway, increasing your total repair costs.</p></div>

A-Z Appliance Repair did a great job. I had wasted two days on the phone begging Sears to just come out and look at the washer. Then I called A-Z, they came out the same day and did a great job fixing the washer.

I liked the service in every way, from the phone contact to the service man. He even took photos of the ducts that needed to be repaired so that I could see what he was talking about. I will keep their name on file and use them repeatedly.

Nothing needed to be repaired. They were very easy to work with both via email and over the phone. Showed up on time, professional, polite, and explained what they were going to do and what they did. Certainly keeping them in my list of 'go to' companies.

No work was done. I called and left a message for a major repair/remodel of bathroom. This is a faily significant project. Never received the courtesy of a return phone call.

He gave me an estimate on the phone, but the problem was less than he thought so he charged less. He quickly repaired the problem, did maintenance on the door and was in and out in half an hour, one day after I called.
