Reading the PC repair thread I was interested to hear people's opinions. I though that posters would say there's no point because there's hundreds of repair shops.
Cambodia - make do and mend after all.
Before I got too busy at my main job in the UK I used to repair Apple products. Not just screens but motherboards, cameras, batteries, water damaged etc. I'd do Samsung's to but my main jobs were Aople products. (I actually broke my IPhone here but didn't have the tools to fix it even though I knew what was wrong!)
Where everyone else was using Chinese parts I'd use Foxconn parts (Yes, Chinese but actual Apple stuff) even though more expensive most Apple owners wanted a proper job. (I did use Chinese parts but mainly genuine stuff)
I've still got about $8k of Apple parts at home that I might send over and set up a business repairing them in SHV. There's certainly a big market with all the drunk backpackers with there shiny IPhones and Galaxy's.
The shops here charge $60 for a screen replacement. The digitizer costs about $10 and is a copy. Real ones would be about $50 - $70, more for an iPhone 6 plus.
Is there a need for an expat phone repair service?
Phone and tablet repairs, IPhone, Galaxy etc
Not in SHV, Mos Eisley has better repair shops, a decent band and a far lower crime rate.
Joking aside, I dropped by iPhone 4 many times - with & without case/screen protector, no drama at all. Got an iPhone 6, dropped it within a week on to my own foot and then the pavement; whacking great crack, but still functioning. Seems with every year they're making the things more flimsy, so it could well be a growth market!

Meum est propositum in taberna mori,
ut sint Guinness proxima morientis ori.
tunc cantabunt letius angelorum chori:
"Sit Deus propitius huic potatori."
