Groupon One Year Later, Would we do it again??

Image
We did a Groupon a year ago and it was a huge success for all of us at WiGoClinic - Cell Phone Repair . We literally had lines of people after our Groupon in each of our shops. We loved meeting new people and helping them get their phones, iPad's and iPod Touches fixed. At the same time offering our high quality service to new customers at a fair deal. But... It seems that Groupon and Living Social don't really care as much about YOU as they do about making a buck! I don't find it surprising that both of these companies are struggling and that many business analysts are predicting their failure. But why I think they are failing is a little different then most. So let me share my first had experience with you. When we signed up for our Groupon we were told we had to meet a certain criteria to even be considered and then it might not get approved by the higher-ups because they only wanted to work with the "Best" local businesses. We were certainly flattered a...

Apple iPad Repair @ WiGoClinic

Image
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. We use only the highest quality parts when working on your iPad or tablet and many times we can complete the work within one to two hours. Left it in your gym bag ans spilled water on it? Not a problem, we've fixed that too! Tablets are great devices but those big beautiful glass screens can break just like any other glass screen or glass in general, right? I'll never forget breaking a full length mirror in our hotel room on a trip with t...

Screen Protectors, aren't they all the same?

Image
“Aren't all screen protectors the same?” “My phone doesn’t need a screen protector, does it?" I get questions about screen protectors ALL the time -- by the way the correct answers are NO and YES. There are many different levels of quality when it comes to screen protection; from your basic cheap plastic that will yellow and fall off in a few weeks to chemically engineered polymers that can actually increase the strength of your screen. Bottom line: Quality matters! At WiGoClinic - Cell Phone Repair we offer the BEST premium screen protectors on the market from Wrapsol, a US based company just south of Bean town in Canton, MA. Good old American ingenuity! They make there product in the USA as well. So it's a great way to support American jobs!! My guess is that you want to know what makes Wrapsol screen protectors the best. So lets start with how they are made. In short, it's unique chemistry that produces remarkable properties . The long version (de...

Yes, the title is correct. You can now protect your cell phone from getting liquid damage -- and certain death -- and it's not a big bulky case.

The service is only $59 bucks and you will only be without your phone for a few days -- yep, you have to ship it to them. It is my humble opinion that this service is worth the cost & Time!

I Feel Your Pain

Image
For the past five years I have worked hard to help people get their phones fixed. I've seen it all. I've comforted many lost souls wondering around in a state of shock from the recent damage to their beloved electronics. But I have NEVER been a customer of WiGoClinic - Cell Phone Repair - that is until today:-( My recently turned five year old daughter was riding a big girl bike for the first time and I wanted  to get it on film. So I got out my handy-dandy 12 mega pixel Nokia N8 and started to film. As I adjust the phone in my hands to zoom-in it slipped from my grasp - in slow motion mind you - and fell to the concrete steps below... my heart sunk as I looked at the front glass. My Cracked Nokia N8 Mind you I have dropped it many times and it had not broken. Oh, and Nokia was kind to install Gorilla-Glass to be sure it was stronger than your average phone (see iPhone). But this apparently was the drop that broke the Gorilla's back. My poor little N8. I guess I...
