When we finish fixing your phone, you get photos of the damage we found.

You see what was broken before we touched it.

NPCLocal is our local-services site that connects Coastal Bend folks with local pros, plus a jobs board.

By The Shop · Dispatch from Alice

This matters because you know what you paid for. If you ever need to file an insurance claim or just want proof of the work, the photos are there.
