So, it’s easy for us to blow our own trumpet- but it’s quite understandable that you might not want to take our word for it. That’s why we’ll be putting examples of our repairs online- starting with this Apple iPhone 5S being repaired at our store on City Road, St Andrews.
We took all these images while the repair was actually in progress. While we’re not planning on giving away all our hard-earned tips and tricks for reliable repair (we’re nice, but we’re not that nice!), what you see here are all the important stages.
