Repair shops & trade-in / buyback

Used phone testing software for repair shops & trade-in / buyback

Stop guessing at the bench. Check Up is diagnostics-first phone testing for repair shops and trade-in / buyback shops — built for the station, not another bloated POS or buy-sell suite.

Run Instant Diagnostics (internal + interactive) on iOS and Android, walk devices through Mobile App Diagnostics, pull device info and lock signals when available, apply grading profiles, and export PDF reports and labels. Optional secured data erasure for a clean handoff.

No credit card theater. Transparent limits. Upgrade when trade-in risk, volume, or separate logins/permissions (users & roles) demand it. Free already supports multiple stations (limits workspace-wide).

The problem

The problem (repair + buyback)

Manual “does the screen look OK?” checks don’t scale — and they don’t protect margin.

Repair shops eat comebacks when intake misses a dead mic, flaky proximity sensor, or camera that only fails in one lens. Post-repair QC that depends on who is on shift creates inconsistent handoffs and angry reopens.

Trade-in / buyback shops lose money the other way: paying out on a device that is blacklisted, carrier-locked, MDM-managed, or functionally compromised. Larger platforms exist for high-volume programs — but many repair & trade-in shops need fast, consistent diagnostics, clear reports, and a price they can justify before lunch.

Check Up is built for that gap: station-ready diagnostics, Free to prove the workflow, Premium when checks, blacklist/locks, roles, or history matter.

From intake to handoff

How it works

  1. Agent / station processing

    Process devices at the bench with your Check Up agent/station workflow.

  2. Instant Diagnostics

    Run internal and interactive diagnostics for iOS and Android.

  3. Mobile App Diagnostics

    Cover display, cameras, audio, sensors, controls, and connectivity.

  4. Device info

    Specs, SIM, battery, and lock-related signals when available (including iCloud/FMiP/MDM and similar), plus service history available so you know what's been replaced (iOS).

  5. Grade + document

    Apply grading profiles; export PDF reports and labels; keep device history reports in your workspace for the chain.

  6. Optional secured data erasure

    For a clean handoff when the device leaves the bench.

Free workspaces can add multiple stations; Free limits apply workspace-wide. Premium adds users & roles when you need separate logins and permissions — plus higher checks and longer history. Billing built in. API is available separately as a paid add-on (~$20 / €20 / £20).

Diagnostics-first

Phone testing features

Instant Diagnostics — iOS & Android

Internal plus interactive diagnostics for iOS and Android — the same station workflow every shift, so every tech runs the same checks.

Mobile App Diagnostics

Structured coverage for the failures that drive returns and underpriced buybacks: Display, Cameras, Audio, Sensors, Controls, and Connectivity.

Device intelligence at intake

Pull actionable device info when available: specs, SIM details, battery data, and lock-related status (iCloud/FMiP/MDM and similar). Service history available so you know what's been replaced (iOS) — useful before you quote a board-level repair or a trade-in payout.

IMEI blacklist & carrier / SIM-lock (Premium)

Trade-in desks: Premium includes 55 IMEI blacklist checks and a carrier lock check included to sample (add-on packs if you need more). Carrier lock lookups are expensive, so higher volume isn't buried in the base plan. Upgrade when buying devices is part of the job — not when a sales page guilt-trips you.

Grading profiles

Define how your shop grades so “Grade B” means the same thing on Tuesday night as it does Saturday morning. Pair grades with PDF reports and labels for the next person in the chain.

Reports, history, team

PDF reports and labels for the counter and the back room. Keep device history reports in your workspace — documentation for the chain (1 month Free · 6 months Premium). Free supports multiple stations (limits workspace-wide). Premium adds users & roles for separate logins and permissions. Billing built in. API is available separately as a paid add-on (~$20 / €20 / £20).

Secured data erasure

Can I check IMEI blacklist and carrier lock?

On Premium. Blacklist: 55/mo. Premium includes a carrier lock check so you can try it on real devices. Need higher volume? Add-on packs are available — these checks are costly, so we don't bury unlimited lookups in the base plan. A carrier (or network/SIM) lock check shows whether a device is locked to a carrier or unlocked. If it's locked, shops need to know which carrier, whether that carrier fits the buyer (you don't want to be stuck with a phone locked to a carrier that doesn't matter to the customer), how lock status changes device pricing, and whether there are financial obligations on the device — separate from IMEI blacklist status.

Is Check Up a full buyback POS or inventory suite?

No. Check Up is diagnostics-first — not a full buyback POS.

Run real device checks this month — Free.

Five checks. Multiple stations allowed (limits workspace-wide). Zero dollars/euros/pounds. When volume, blacklist/locks, separate logins/permissions (users & roles), or history matter, Premium is priced in the open: $25 / €21.90 / £19.90.
