Who hasn’t been forced to change their smartphone when the battery looked dead? Now many people decide to repair it. The market is actually booming. The proof is the opening of Avelis Connect in Tulle in July, which repairs our laptops, even in the event of major failures.
Repairs that are worth it
Christophe Farnier and his colleague assure him: “Everything changes.” And so No phone is truly beyond repair. Even if we sometimes have to admit that this was not intended by the manufacturer. “They don’t make it easy for us with certain phones. It is designed in such a way that it is sometimes almost disposable,” explains Christophe Farnier. And it is really profitable. A new battery, for example, only costs around fifty euros or less, depending on the model, including labor. Less than 100 euros for a screen. “Even micro-soldering, something like that, is a little more complex, but for phones that are a little more expensive, it’s worth it.”
“It avoids excessive consumption”
It was precisely this low price that brought Bruno into the store. His phone has a broken screen. “After that it works very well.” That’s why a repair is the best solution. “It’s still cheaper. And it avoids overconsumption.” And Bruno is not the only one making this choice. Christophe Farnier is even surprised to see so many customers already despite the recent opening. Avelis Connect also offers computer and game console repairs. And if you have an old device, the repair shop can buy it back for you. It is refurbished and then resold in the store at a reasonable price.
