iPhone repair shop?

That sounds like a steal. So it's all inclusive R249 for a normal size iPhone 6? Didn't Google what is the normal price?

Normal price for iPhone 6 battery is r389.
 
Don’t use WeFix, they are a garbage company. They replaced my iPhone 6s battery and screen 2 years ago and now the phone is damaged. WeFix couldn’t determine the cause for the problem so I took it to Apple Doctor and they were able to determine that both battery and screen are to blame for my problems and it has to be replaced. WeFix didn’t advise me that they only offer a 1 year warranty on the screen and now that the warranty has expired they want to charge me for a new screen and battery even though it was a hardware fault. I won’t spend 2 grand to get it fixed considering I’ll be getting the X soon. Will not use WeFix again.

Cheap components that don’t last and they make sure it lasts just enough till after warranty expires.

Scum.

That's twice as long as the original Apple Warranty.

And if Wefix offers a 1 year warranty on the screen that's pretty good and right there with the OEM product from Apple.

As much as I dislike WeFix and know they aren't great I think your expectations are a bit off here.

What exactly are the problems?

Also I very much doubt they make sure it lasts just as long as the warranty. That would be near impossible to do with any kind of accuracy.
 
The problem is the battery and screen is faulty. It causes massive slow downs on the device, freezing, boot loops. I have done everything from a software point of view and nothing works. It’s the hardware.

Their warranty shouldn’t include faulty hardware. They sold me a product that is faulty and they should either replace or refund me. Simple.

I don’t recall receiving a job card, just an sms with a repair job number and invoice after they replaced the battery and screen. Not sure where it is now so can’t look. But they should have advised verbally as well.

Either way, I don’t trust them and the quality of their components. I was basically told to get fscked.

Won’t deal with them anymore if I ever need.

@OP - the only place you're going to get a genuine replacement in SA is through Core.

and @ R6000 for an iPhone6, my battery popped and they (Apple) would not honour warranty as apparently "screen had been replaced"
