Mobile repair shop opens in Kawagoe gas station

A new iPhone repair shop, mobile. com Saitama Kawagoe, opened on October 1, 2026, within the Cosmo Oil Kawagoe Amanuma service station in Kawagoe, Saitama Prefecture. The shop specializes in battery replacements and screen repairs for iPhones, and also services iPads and Nintendo Switch consoles.

As smartphone prices rise, many users are opting for battery replacements rather than purchasing new devices. For example, replacing a battery may cost significantly less than the 100,000 yen required for a new model. However, experts suggest that users should evaluate the overall condition of their device—including screen integrity, storage capacity, and remaining software update support—before deciding whether to repair or replace their hardware.
