By third party we mean a place that is not an Apple Authorized Service Provider (AASP) or Apple Authorized Distributor (AAD) - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1434
I browsed the iFix web site. Nowhere does it specifically state they are an AASP and usually places that are will make that immediately obvious. Their FAQ mostly mentions how to set up a franchise and does not state that repairs made by them will not void any Apple warranty. Apple is very particular about anybody working on their devices and if they detect somebody else has worked on a device (even if they do a good job) they could refuse to even look at a device again (warranty or not) in their shop. I'm not passing judgement on other companies, I'm just observing this so the OP knows in advance.

"An iPhone that is ineligible for warranty service may be eligible for Out-of-Warranty (OOW) Service. For example, an iPhone that has failed due to damage or liquid damage is ineligible for warranty service but eligible for OOW service. However, certain damage is ineligible for OOW service, including catastrophic damage, such as the device separating into multiple pieces, and inoperability caused by unauthorized modifications."
The underlined clause could be interpreted by Apple to be any sign of anybody else having worked on a device. This isn't just Apple. If somebody is going to warranty a service then they want to make sure they are not also covering anything that might have been caused by somebody else working on the device previously.
