I can't see anyone using non-OEM parts sending their device back to Google, they'll just use their shady local fix it shop.

Explain what is shady about a local electronics repair shop.

Have you seen many local electronics repair shops?

I wouldn't call the repair sweatshops used by OEM manufacturers any better. Fix it yourself.

Yeah, but they fucking glued the battery to the screen!

On that note, anyone know any good repair shops in the Twin Cities? My LG G8 needs a new battery.

"This thing is shit, but something exists that is worse~~, therefore this thing is good now!~~ Fuck the system, I'll do it myself."

FTFY.

I think you got downvoted because the way you said it implies that all 3rd party repair shops are shady. But it's true, that the vast majority of repair shops are shady in places that I have lived.
