The cell phone repair industry is booming. New shops are opening all across the country, and even more are operating solely online. Customers are either bringing in their cell phones for repairs, or they’re mailing them off to repair shops without a storefront.
While there are a few cautionary tales involved with the cell phone repair industry, it’s always easy to weed out the good from the bad. Word of mouth is almost always the easiest way, followed by a rating from your city’s Better Business Bureau. If your concerns are so warranted, you might find even more information about a cell phone repair shop from the FCC (Federal Communications Commission).
So what exactly constitutes operating within the cell phone repair industry? The primary operation is, of course, the repair of cell phones. Many cell phone repair shops also fix tablets and some other devices, too, as a secondary service.
The main products used at these cell phone repair shops also keep the cell phone repair industry booming. More repairs means more call for parts including cell phone screens, cell phone batteries, headphone jacks, buttons, cameras and sensors and more.
Although some phone carriers claim their next “star” smartphone will likely put cell phone repair shops out of business, take heed. That’s been the claim for nearly a decade, and the cell phone repair industry has simply kept growing.
