Mobile phone repair market. Ulan Bataar, 2005

You want to get your mobile phone repaired via the grey market (photo Ulan Bataar, above), rather than via more formal repair shops certified by manufacturers. How sure are you that the repair has been properly carried out? What recourse do you have based on formal or social agreements if it turns out not to have been repaired properly?
