Sick Mac? Maybe it’s time for an upgrade! 20% off this weekend!

Upgrade your Mac storage capacity! Did you know that your computer hard drive has a maximum working life of about 3 years?

Most manufacturers will offer a maximum of 3 year warranties on these sensitive pieces of equipment. If your Mac is getting close to 3 years old, it’s just a matter of time that your hard drive will fail. Signs of a failing hard drive could be a loud clicking sound, sluggish boot-up process or some programs may fail to load. If you’re experiencing any of these symptoms now is the time to take action.

At Mission Repair, we will not only replace your hard drive with a brand new part, but we can also upgrade it with more storage capacity. This weekend we are offering 20% off our Computer Hard Drive Upgrade installations for Laptops and Desktops if you call or visit one of our locations before Sunday!

For example, an exceptional 1 Terabyte 2.5” 5400 RPM SATA Hard Drive Installation for your Mac Laptop will only be $142 plus tax. This price includes the new hard drive, installation and migration of your data (if possible) and a 3 year warranty on the Hard Drive. If your data is unrecoverable, we will install a clean version of the basic operating system at no additional charge. We will have you back up and running in no time!

This special is good now through Sunday 11/15/15 at 5:00pm CST and cannot be combined with any other coupons and is good for laptop or desktop hard drive installations only. Come check us out!

Take care, Ryan

Talk about a Throwback Thursday!!

Hello there and good morning. This is a blast from the past. That’s a picture of my cousin Dan and I back when we were about 7 years old:

Check out that fantastic yellow “Jawa” t-shirt I’m wearing! Who would have thought that 37 years later we’d be having another Star Wars movie release due out next month. Wow isn’t that a little amazing in itself?!

Well, this picture has a couple of meanings for me today. One, it is a perfect Throwback Thursday picture. I haven’t changed a bit!

But secondly, my Uncle Frank passed away this month, and spending a little time with my cousin Dan helps. I know what it’s like to lose your father, it’s not a lot of fun. I’ll be heading back to Michigan again over the Thanksgiving weekend to see him and all of the family one more time before 2015 comes to a close.

My uncle was an amazing guy. I would spend summers out in Dearborn Heights, Michigan away from my California home when I was a kid and got to know this family well. Frank taught me how to ride a bike. Awesome! He taught me how to swim! Very helpful. He taught me how to properly pick raspberries, and I still love them. He told me that squirrels bite hard, and that the University of Michigan was the only school to go to. He took me on “The Beast” the first year that it opened and showed me the first Kentucky Fried Chicken restaurant. He calmed me down when I found leaches on my leg while hunting for cattails in the lake. And he even got me to ride my first motorcycle one year and I’m still riding motorcycles today.

In return, I got to teach the Michiganders all about “Vans” shoes (remember, I was a California boy!) I will never forget my Aunt Connie yelling over the household “who’s plaid shoes are these!?!” I thought that was funny.

I will miss my Uncle Frank, I had the chance to thank him for all of the things that he taught me and tell him how important he was in my childhood. I personally value the “lessons” in life and most of them stuck with me when I was a kid. I’m a firm believer that life is about passing knowledge down to those that you love (and anyone else that will listen in my case) 😉 and my Uncle Frank did his part. Well done.

Hey it’s a happy day, not to worry. Look at me, how could you not smile when you see a kid like this, sporting his Star Wars shirt sitting outside with his cousin buddy. Remember those days? You should try to! Not a care in the world except when I was going to get my next pancake breakfast from Aunt Connie.

Have a great Thursday.

Sincerely, Ryan
