📉 And those are just the repair costs — not replacement.

Most repairs only buy you a few more months before the next failure. You're essentially throwing money away.

🧨 The Hidden Problem with Repairs After 2 Years

Here's what repair shops and manufacturers don't tell you about "fixing" older devices.

🔁 Outdated Parts = Downgraded Performance

After the first 24 months, repair shops are no longer using original parts:

They install lower-tier refurbished components
They prioritize wholesale inventory over quality
You pay for a "fix" that might only buy you a few more months

"Fixing your 3-year-old laptop today might mean getting it back with a slower processor, reduced battery, or used components — all for hundreds of dollars."

— Industry Repair Specialist

😨 What You're Really Paying For

Inferior Hardware
Slower, older, refurbished components
Short-term Performance
Temporary fix, not a permanent solution
No Resale Value
Repaired devices are worth almost nothing
Another Failure Waiting to Happen
More expensive repairs coming soon
