Sound Familiar?
These are the problems we hear from phone repair shops in Gateshead every single week. If any of these hit home, we can help.
No website showing prices and turnaround
Customers want to know: can you fix it, how much, how fast? No website = no answers = lost customers.
Fast turnaround but not enough reviews
120 reviews vs 15 — customers assume the one with more is better, regardless of your speed and skill.
Mail-in repair companies stealing your local customers
Online mail-in services advertise heavily. Without a strong local presence, your nearby customers might send their phone away instead of walking to your shop.
Emergency repairs going to competitors
A cracked screen is urgent. Customers go to the first shop with good reviews. If that's not you, that's a job gone.
