Almost everyone around us owns a laptop, which is an important part of their life. Many tasks (office work, bills, social media, entertainment, connectivity etcetera) are affected if you do not have your laptop with you this is why in case of an issue you can’t afford to leave it at the official store for weeks as you need this gadget every day.

Common laptop Issues:

Some of the common laptop issues are:

• Battery issues

Third-party Repairs FTW:

There are numerous reasons why a reliable third-party laptop repair in New York City is way better than an official store.

Time saver:

Most independent repair shops offer same-day repairs. They can fix issues usually under an hour. The average time taken for a MacBook screen replacement is 25 minutes.

Money saver:

Apple charges somewhere around $750 to $1000 for any type of MacBook repairs. Official tech stores overcharge for simple repairs, Apple’s sales have declined over the past two fiscal years. These expensive repairs and other accessories (air pods and apple watches) are making up for the lost sales revenue. Local, independent repair shops have skilled technicians that can fix your laptop in under $500.

Another reason for going to an independent laptop repair shop is official stores don’t keep spare parts for older models (all models before 2009) so they won’t even take your laptop in. sometimes the issue is small but too complicated to fix, in this case, official stores suggest you replacing your otherwise perfectly fine laptop.

Challenges faced by Third-party Repairs:

• Google has completely banned third party tech repair businesses from advertising. This is probably the biggest obstacle for independent laptop repairs in New York. If you can’t advertise your business online, your sales are going to decline exponentially.
• Official stores don’t accept the gadgets that have been tampered with by a third party repair service. This stops many people from taking their laptops to these repair shops.

However, there is still hope for independent laptop repair businesses as Apple has started selling official parts for MacBook and iPhone to them, provided they keep a technician trained by Apple (Apple has introduced a special program where they train people free of cost). This initiative is currently operational only in the U.S. but Apple intends to spread it to other countries as well.

Third-party repair businesses can revolutionize the tech repair industry if regulated properly. They can end the monopoly of Tech Giants in the market. Laptop and Smartphone Repair Experts is one such independent laptop repair in New York with highly skilled technicians and provide excellent services at very economical rates.
