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

I have to admit that I am a small business junkie. Yes, it is my weakness and I'm proud to admit it. Small businesses are great and they truly drive our economy. Small business innovates, meets specialized needs and usually takes GREAT care of its customers. I will go out of my way to shop at a small business any day! So maybe for one day - Saturday, November 13,2013 -- all of you can too. WiGoClinic - Cell Phone & Tablet Repair is proud to be participating in the Arlington Small Business Day 2013  along with hundreds of other Arlington, VA small businesses.

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...

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...

“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...
