Small electronics have increasingly filling our landfills with tons and tons of useless garbage. According to the EPA, 4.6 million tons of e-waste are dumped into US landfills each year. As we become more environmentally aware it is important that we utilize every resource we have to keeping our planet clean.

Repair Sharks, has been a part of a battery recycling program for over a year and has been recycling all plastic from battery packaging as well as plastic iPod Face Plates, and used iPod metal back plates. We also choose to use safe packaging while minimizing the weight and environmental impact of shipping products we use by shipping in 100% recycled mailers and recycling unusable paper shipping products we receive from customers.

Every company can do its part in helping the planet stay clean. iPod repair is no different and we will continue to evolve our techniques to better serve the community.

Sincerely,
The Sharks

Why it makes sense to repair – Repairing your iPod has a few advantages including:

• Cost – usually the cheaper than buying new or even used.
  
• Environmental Consideration – repairing is a greener solution. It is a less environmentally impacting process. Repair shops only replace what’s needed rather than throwing out the old to buy a new device.
  
• Features – in some cases there are features available with the older iPod that aren’t available in the new. Take the 5^th Generation iPod Video for example. You can have video output through the headphone jack whereas newer models like the iPod Classic are required to use a Apple Universal Dock Connector.
  
• Sentimental Value – believe it or not a lot of people are attached to their iPods. Why replace something that has been given to you, just because it breaks, when you can keep it working for many many years.
   
• Repair can make your iPod look like new again – A new faceplate and backplate will have you looking like new again. Let a professional replace your front and back covers and you will have a new iPod again!

When it makes sense to replace – replacing your iPod is sometimes necessary.

• In cases where parts are no longer available
  
• When cost exceeds – If the price of a repair is higher or near that of a new Apple iPod.
  
• In need of larger storage capabilities – With the conglomeration of large libraries of music there is a need for more space.

• Need for more features – We can understand the desire to move to a more robust iPod. Going from an iPod 4^th Generation to an iPod Touch is a nice upgrade. The new features available in the Touch and Touch 2G are a big step up from the old photo generation iPods.

New generation iPods are getting more sophisticated. Additionally, they are also getting easier to break. With the addition of flash memory to many of the newer Nano, iPod Touch, and iPhone single repairs are getting pricier. There is no replacing of a bad hard drive anymore. Many of the boards have the memory in place and require full replacement of the Mainboard and memory modules. Screen replacement, a common repair, can require the replacement of multiple parts such as the digitizer and midframe.

Luckily for consumers repair options are available for almost any generation iPod. These iPod Repair Guys will have you working like new once again. With costs rising for new cutting edge devices, who wants to have to replace it when it breaks?

To be honest sometimes we work on our customers individual iPods for a few hours to ensure they test properly under all conditions including continuous playback over long periods. iPods can be tricky devices sometimes and we like to make sure we hand back a device that will work long after it is repaired. We are not a 15 minute repair shop. Do you really want someone that handles your valuable data and precious iPod as if it was a five dollar calculator? We don’t think so and are pretty sure you don’t either.

We aren’t in the business of bashing our competition but we also like to tell it like it is. Don’t be fooled by repair shops offering “free labor.” I mean do you think anyone would be in business if they gave away all their services? Of course not, the prices of the parts include the labor charges. We choose to break down that cost for you. It helps our customers save money when they are just looking for parts or in retrospect certain cases when extensive work is needed. For example, water damaged units can sometimes have multiple issues depending on the severity. We can clean and de-oxidize the mainboards, repair certain types of damaged battery connectors, and clean dirt and debris. You would be surprised how much corrosion can happen from just a little bit of moisture inside an iPod. The de-oxidation process can be harmful to certain components if not handled correctly. We take the necessary precautions to prevent and minimize collateral damage to iPods while reconditioning them.

“Handling your iPod like it’s our own” isn’t just a statement we make, it’s what we practice and believe in.

A great business isn’t built with large volumes of mediocre service. It’s built with great service all the time.

We know that sometimes issues arise after repair and that is why with iPod Repair Guys you won’t be left hanging with your concerns. We are not a one-off repair factory we look to build our most valuable asset with every repair and parts sale, customer loyalty. That is why with repair and parts from iPod Repair Guys you are covered. Give us a try you won’t be disappointed.
