With the announcement of its successor, it's becoming even more popular! Earn a good living as a Nintendo Switch repair specialist and help your kids!
One of the biggest concerns when a game console malfunctions is, "What happens to my save data?" However, repairs by the store where you purchased it or the manufacturer typically restore the console to its factory settings. Many current games contain items only obtainable through limited-time events or data from paid purchases, so there is a growing need to preserve this data. Switch+Labo can repair your console in as little as one day, preserving your data.

Industry:Repair/Cleaning
There are currently very few specialized game console repair shops. Some iPhone repair shops are starting to offer minor parts replacements like controllers and screens as an option. We also receive many inquiries from people who have had their data lost after unknowingly sending their devices in for repair through the manufacturer. Now is the perfect time to try our service, as there's less competition.
Today's children use tablets and smartphones to gather information themselves. They tend to avoid repair shops that handle a variety of devices and have complex procedures, but game console repair shops are easy for children to find because of their low barrier to entry, and word-of-mouth referrals after use are tremendous.
There are very few places that need repair, and there are many requests, so there is a lot of work to do and you can learn the job quickly. You will receive thorough training from headquarters beforehand, so even those with no experience can start their own business in less than a month. The high sales are attractive, but above all, you will feel comforted and rewarded by the fact that the data is properly recorded and that children feel at ease.
