At least where I live, if the bootleg repair place isn't slightly moldy, it's a scam. Rundown, old white tiles on the wall, chipped mirror somewhere, a frail curtain to separate the back area from the front counter, and, in summer, a mandatory swiveling standing fan. That's where your phone will get a second lease on its live!

Never did a lot of specifically phone repair, but all the computer and misc electronics repair I've worked at follow a similar pattern to yours. To add to it - there should be cobbled together racks, behind the flimsy curtain, filled with devices of many vintages in many states of (dis)repair.

The cleaner the place and the steeper the price, a lotta times the better the proprietor is at business than at electronics, lol
