Cell Phone Repair - Any Recommendations?

Greetings everyone,

I was wondering if any of you have a recommendation regarding cell phone repair. I am about to send it out to Florida, and I would like to receive some feedback on certain places, should I be aware of anything or perhaps missing something... ? The LCD screen ribbon flex cable is completely torn in half (my fault, ripped it out of my bf's hand), and yes, the phone still works with a blue tooth, althtough it seems that the life of the battery has been shortened.

Suggestions are always welcome, perhaps I can fix it myself, if there isnt any fusing involved.

Thank You !

Is the price of fixing the phone that much lower than buying a new phone outright?

In my experience, there isn't that much of a difference, and the 20 bucks or whatever is worth spending than getting jacked around for weeks waiting for the phone to come back and then hoping it will work.
