Why Fourways is a tough place to choose a repair shop
Within 5km of Fourways Mall there are easily 20+ places that claim to "fix phones". Most are cellphone accessory kiosks that ship your device to someone else and double the price.

How to vet any phone repair shop in 60 seconds
- Ask for a written quote before they touch the phone.
- Ask what part they're fitting — OEM, premium aftermarket OLED, or generic LCD.
- Ask for the warranty in writing — 90 days minimum, parts AND labour.
- Ask where the repair happens. If they're sending it away, you're paying a middleman.
- Check Google reviews from the last 6 months, not the all-time average.
