2. Check the customer reviews.
Make sure you hire a technician who has mostly favorable reviews, and find out if they have a track record of making broken iPhones look good as new.
3. Look at before-and-after photos.
In addition to reading the client testimonials, look for photos (posted by the technician or past customers) of iPhones the technicians have repaired so you can gauge their craftsmanship.
