SUFFOLK, Va., March 15, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Tech repair brand uBreakiFix opened its newest Virginia location, uBreakiFix Suffolk, on February 6 at 2099 Sun Harbour Avenue. This is the brand’s sixth location in South Virginia, joining stores in Virginia Beach, Glen Allen, and Richmond.
uBreakiFix services anything with a power button, including smartphones, game consoles, tablets, computers, drones, hoverboards, and everything in between. To date, uBreakiFix has completed more than 5 million repairs. While common fixes include cracked screens, software issues, and camera issues, the brand offers support for most technical problems on any electronic device, regardless of make or model.
Through strategic partnerships with leading technology companies, including Samsung and Google, uBreakiFix provides Samsung Galaxy customers and Google Pixel and Pixelbook customers with manufacturer-backed, same-day repair services using genuine parts. Through the partnership with Samsung, Galaxy owners can get in and out-of-warranty repairs at more than 300 locations nationwide, with most repairs completed in two hours or less.
uBreakiFix Suffolk is the fourth location for Jason J. Rollins II and Suman Raj Pandey, who also own stores in Carmichael, Lynnhaven, and Redmill Commons. Rollins and Pandey have plans to continue to expand in the area.
“uBreakiFix provides services unlike any other and we saw a need in the Suffolk community for reliable tech repair,” said Rollins. “We love the fast-paced environment and growth we are seeing in the area and wanted to be a part of it. We’re really looking forward to supporting and growing with this community.”
uBreakiFix was founded in 2009 by millennial duo Justin Wetherill and David Reiff, who later partnered with Eddie Trujillo to transition their Internet-based brand to a brick and mortar model. By offering convenience, accessibility, and unparalleled customer service, uBreakiFix filled a gap in the repair marketplace and has since emerged as an industry leader in growth, service offerings, and authorized partnerships. In 2018, Wetherill was inducted into the Forbes Technology Council, and uBreakiFix earned a top spot on Entrepreneur’s Franchise 500® list, ranking #18 overall, #1 in the Electronics Repair category, and #1 on the Top New Franchises list.
