I was thinking of opening a repair store dealing with all cell phones in general, but then I started doing research.. Just in the last 4 years there have been more than 100 unique HTC phones released, and even more Nokias, Samsungs, and other brands. Costs would be through the roof if I tried to stock all of those parts. No one wants to hear "yeah, we can order you a screen and call you when it gets here". People want to bring a phone in, wait for the 30 minute repair, and then get out the door.
Now, an iPhone repair business would be very easy to start and very cheap to run. Only problem is its sort of a popular business model. In one city alone there are 3.. IN THE MALL. In another city there are 4 iphone repair stores.
general Cell phone repair stores in these cities combined? 2.
Competition for iPhone repair is crazy, but competition for nokia, htc, samsung, blackberry, etc. Barely any.
Anyone have any experience with the business? Or any advice or things to say.
I should mention, I do have all the education needed to repair any phone given to me. hiring people wouldn't be too difficult.
I was thinking of just stocking parts for the 10 or 20 most popular phones in America, and as the business grows I start expanding to less and less popular phones..
