    I’m going to need this statement in the article explained to me in detail. How the fuck would they possibly “force a repair”?

    The agent doesn’t force the repair, though, giving the option to simply walk away if the quote isn’t appealing.

      The agent doesn’t force the repair, though, giving the option to simply walk away if the quote isn’t appealing. They even state that you can perform your own repairs, with a link to a guide with more information, if you feel confident.

      They have them an Option to do it themselves and linked a tutorial.

      Meaning they’re not doing the Apple thing and forcing you to either let it repair by a contractor, because they brick the device if you don’t. Display replacements on Apple devices for example.

        Thanks, I guess “they even” threw me off, because it sounded like a side note, instead of the main reason. Like the other option was the agent booking the repair and automatically charging their card.

          No worries, it took me way too long to figure it out myself. It definitely feels like some context is missing that this sentence relates to.
