Red Flags: When You Are Being Overcharged

The quote is more than double the ranges listed above without clear justification
The shop will not give you a written estimate before starting work
They charge a diagnostic fee that is not applied toward the repair cost
They pressure you to decide immediately or claim the device will get worse
They will not tell you whether they use OEM or aftermarket parts

Get quotes from at least 2-3 shops before committing
Ask whether the price includes parts and labor
Ask about the warranty on the repair — 90 days minimum is standard
Check RepairReviews.org for shop reviews before choosing
Consider whether OEM vs aftermarket parts matter for your repair
