WiGoMan Blog - Tech Care (Repair, Reuse, Recycle) Industry Leader

Those in the Tech Repair Industry (aka, cell phone repair) all know that Apple has the lowest hanging fruit (get it?) in that the iPhone screen replacement is by far the number one repair in the industry. So much so that some repair companies don't even bother fixing anything else. Even more so, that sooooo many repair companies have tried to incorporate all things Apple into their names. I have often referred to our industry as the 'i' industry.  Research on the Repair Industry As a long time business person (in other words I've been around the block a time or two) I have been surprised at how little research has been done in the Tech Repair Industry and how little attention the media pays to, what I truly believe, is one of the most important up-and-coming industries on the planet. Most news stories are fluff pieces on industry entrepreneurs (which are awesome BTW!) or pieces about dudes stealing private pictures of women when they have their phones fixed...

So when I pulled up to work today -- after the Jonas, Snowzilla, the Blizzard of 2016 or what ever the heck you want to call two feet of snow in DC -- and I was greeted by this lovely sight. Snowzilla - The Blizzard of 2016 The good news is that we're OPEN for business to help you get all of your TECH fixed! The bad news is parking is limited - unless you have a snowmobile (or as Sarah Palin calls them a snow machine - not sure what Donald Trump calls them, but I'm sure he doesn't need one).  So come on by by our shop in Fairfax if you'd need a cracked screen fixed, charge port issue, battery draining to fast, liquid damaged device or if you just want to play on the extremely large pile of snow in our parking lot! Since our vans look like this:  It might be a day or two before we can get them back on the road, but give us a call to arrange mobile service if you need it. We'll do our best to take care of you and your broken TECH! Hope you're al...

The Cell Phone & Tablet Repair industry is now a $1.4 billion industry according to IBISWorld. According to a recent study by SquareTrade, a leading device protection plan company, damaged iPhones alone have cost Americans $10.7 billion. So if you've broken a phone once, twice or dozens of times - you know who you are and we love you! - it's OK your not alone!! The simple truth is that everyone has a phone and phones break. Remember the first step is admitting that you have a problem. The problem is that your phone is broken or it could be soon. So what do you do? Where do you go to get it fixed? NOT ALL REPAIR SHOPS ARE EQUAL One mistake we see customers make all the time is to go with the cheapest price for a repair but just like anything in life cheap isn't always best. If you want a hamburger you could go to McDonalds but if you want a REALLY GOOD hamburger go to Shake Shack - love those hamburgers and their fries, boy howdy! Let me do you a favor and sha...

If and when you need to have a cell phone or tablet repaired -- and you will need a repair sooner or later -- keep that in mind. Because that's what a recent customers email to me said. "I want to thank you for the fix on Emily's phone - fast, friendly and a real bargain! We really appreciate it." FAST: Is the company your dealing with fast of do they take all day to make simple repairs? At WiGoClinic most cracked screen repairs can be done in an hour at NO ADDITIONAL CHARGE! So let's talk about the one hour for a second because I know some shops claim they can do some repairs in 15-20 minutes. Hah, in a perfect world yes. But do you really want someone to rush the repair and possible damage something OR what happens if there is some other complication? That 15-20 minutes turns into an hour. We try and provide an honest quote on all of our repairs. FRIENDLY: Is the company your talking to friendly? Do they answer the phone when you call? At WiGoClinic we kno...

Maybe of you didn't know that we  fix the Apple iPad because for many years we have joked that if it fits in your pocket we can fix it at WiGoClinic - Cell Phone Repair  (it seemed so simple to us). But times change and we must all adapt. So YES we can fix your Apple iPad and many other tablets in case you need us!   We have been working on the iPad and other tablets since they first hit the market. So we know our stuff! And we have seen it all. From a totaled iPad ("Oops I ran over it") to just a small hairline crack.
