Happy MLK Day!

Hello M:R Nation –

Today is Martin Luther King, Jr Day and we are happy to celebrate it with you! While USPS and the banks will be closed today, Mission Repair is open from 8am – 6pm today! Come on in and have that iPad or Samsung smartphone repaired once and for all!

While we would love to take the day off in remembrance, we unfortunately can’t take off every federal holiday or our customers would be less than thrilled with our schedule.

So in place of taking the day off, like so many of you lucky folks out there, we have decided to research and share a few facts about this very special day! We all (hopefully) know what this day means and how important it is to our country, so I won’t give a long history lesson on the man and his greatness. Just a few interesting tidbits about the holiday itself.

1968	Martin Luther King, Jr. assassinated; Rep. John Conyers, D-Mich., introduces legislation for federal holiday to commemorate King
1973	Illinois is first state to adopt MLK Day as a state holiday
1983	Congress passes, President Reagan signs, legislation creating Martin Luther King, Jr. Day
1986	Federal MLK holiday goes into effect
1987	Arizona governor Evan Mecham rescinds MLK Day as his first act in office, setting off a boycott of the state.
1989	State MLK holiday adopted in 44 states
1991	The NFL moves the 1993 Super Bowl site from Phoenix, Ariz., to Pasadena, Calif., because of the MLK Day boycott.
1992	Arizona citizens vote to enact MLK Day. The Super Bowl is held in Tempe, Ariz. in 1996.
1993	For the first time, MLK Day is held in some form—sometimes under a different name, and not always as a paid state holiday—in all fifty states.
1999	New Hampshire becomes the last state to adopt MLK Day as a paid state holiday, replacing its optional Civil Rights Day.
2000	Utah becomes the last state to recognize MLK Day by name, renaming its Human Rights Day state holiday. South Carolina becomes the last state to make MLK Day a paid holiday for all state employees. Until now, employees could choose between celebrating it or one of three Confederate-related holidays.

As you can see from this timeline, it took 15 years for this day to even become a holiday and up to the year 2000 for every state to put the holiday into effect. We are all used to states taking their time to get something done, but my goodness that was a long and drawn out adoption.

We thank Dr. Martin Luther King for the sacrifice he made for freedom in the USA. He was one of the greatest warriors that this country has ever seen.

Cheers, Troy

 

 

Cracked iPhone 5C Screen?

Hello M:R Nation –

If the answer to that question above is yes, than you have come to the right place! Over the last few months, Mission Repair has become your go to repair facility for the iPhone 5C! We have had the pleasure of repairing these for folks all over the USA and are happy to have formed many “customers for life” in the process!

Some view the iPhone 5C as the younger, cheaper, less popular sibling of the iPhone 5S. While it was announced at the same time, it doesn’t have the all metal design and the fancy fingerprint scanner. Sure, this judgment is easy to make if you have never held one of these in your hand! After using the iPhone 5C, you will quickly realize that the experience of using it is not better or worse than using an iPhone 5 or iPhone 5S, it’s just different.

However, something that remains the same is what you see below. I don’t care if you have an iPhone 3G, iPhone 5C, iPhone 5S or anything in between. When it slips out of your hands and lands on its corner or flat on its face, you are likely going to be dealing with what the customer below dealt with.

Did you see how I used the word “dealt”? It’s past tense of the word “deal”. You see, with Mission Repair, there is no more need to just “deal” with your cracked screen. We will take your green, pink, blue, yellow, white or whatever color iPhone 5C that you own, remove the cracked mess that is a screen and replace it with a brand new screen. It is that simple!  There is no longer a need to power through a phone call because of broken glass…

Above is the result of our customer no longer dealing with the annoyance of holding their phone 2 inches away from their face or talking on speaker phone or receiving glass splinters trying to type in their pass code! This is simply a much better way to live! Owning something that doesn’t work correctly or needing an improvised method of use is one of my biggest pet peeves. If there is a possibility to make it work like it should, why not take the time to do so?

Ok, so have I convinced you to finally take care of that little problem? Great! Click here to get started: iPhone 5C Front Glass Screen Repair! After you choose your shipping and turnaround options, add to your care and let us take it from there! As always, call (866-638-8402) or email (sales@missionrepair.com) with any questions, comments or concerns!

Cheers, Troy
