AKRON, Ohio, Nov. 23, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Leading tech repair provider uBreakiFix® by Asurion has opened its newest franchise location in Akron at 790 Arlington Ridge. The store offers professional repair services for anything with a power button, from smartphones, tablets, and computers to game consoles, smart speakers, and drones—and everything in between. The new store will host a grand opening celebration on Dec. 11 from 12 p.m. to 2 p.m., featuring discounts, giveaways, refreshments, and more.
While common repairs include cracked screens, battery issues, and water damage, uBreakiFix repair experts have fixed more than 13 million devices and can help with most any tech mishaps, with most basic repairs completed in two hours or less.
“Technology is made to have a longer life span now and we’re committed to extending that for our customers through repair,” said Chad James, uBreakiFix District Manager. “At uBreakiFix, we provide a cost-effective alternative to buying new, and we look forward to offering that option to the Akron community.”
uBreakiFix repair experts fix all types of electronics, regardless of make or model, and uBreakiFix is an authorized repair provider for some devices, including Samsung Galaxy and Google Pixel smartphones. Customers can book a repair appointment online or stop by the store for walk-in service. uBreakiFix offers free, no-obligation diagnostics on all gadgets, as well as a low-price guarantee and 90-day warranty on all repairs.
uBreakiFix was founded in 2009 after Co-founder Justin Wetherill dropped and shattered his own smartphone, sparking the idea for a convenient, affordable repair option. Wetherill partnered with David Reiff and Eddie Trujillo to bring the concept to life, and it has since grown from a single storefront in Orlando, Florida, to more than 700 locations across the U.S. and Canada. uBreakiFix joined the Asurion® family in 2019 and now operates as a subsidiary of the tech care company.
“We are excited to serve more people in Akron with fast and affordable tech repair,” said uBreakiFix CEO Dave Barbuto. “We all rely on our phones and laptops more than ever before, and at uBreakiFix our mission is bigger than repairing shattered screens and broken charge ports. We fix tech because people rely on tech to stay connected to things that are important to them. I look forward to serving this community through our new Akron location.”
