• 🔹 Preservation of the factory seal and warranty on the device (if it is still valid).

• 💸 Prices are higher than the market by 30-200%. For example, replacing the screen Xiaomi 13 Pro in the official service will cost 25-30 thousand rubles, while on AliExpress the original module can be found for 12-15 thousand rubles.
