What kind of store should I go to get a swollen battery removed?

The phone is an iPhone 8 - I read that apple stores don't remove swollen batteries and I realllly don't want to dispose of my phone and lose all of my data on there. What is the best option for the removal of a swollen battery by a professional?

Also, if by chance anyone lives in the Portland Oregon area and can recommend a place for me to go to, that would also be greatly appreciated.

Answer this question I have this problem too

Ask your friends where to find an independent repair shop who fixes iPhones.

The way I've done it is I remove the battery myself, but then I seal it in a watertight heat-sealed bag to prevent shorting and liquid contact. Once I remove it, I'll dispose of the battery myself -- usually I drop it off at places like Best Buy to dispose of it.

However, if you aren't comfortable with the removal process you can probably take the phone to a 3rd party repair shop and have them remove it for you.

yeah i dont want to risk doing it myself i am a kid with 0 technical or mechanic experience so i dont want to take any risk of it blowing up in my face, I'm fine with paying a couple hundred or so if i just take it in, I'm just hoping the battery will last for a few more days stored in my basement without continuously expanding
