Now that’s what a cracked iPad looks like.

Good morning,

Every now and again I’ll snap a picture of a device that we receive for repair and share it here on the blog.  Some are normal “cracks” and bends; others are smashed up pretty good.  For some reason, my blog readers love looking at smashed units…so Carl at my Mission, Kansas store sent this picture to me last night:

Now that’s what a cracked iPad is supposed to look like, right?

I often wonder how these things happen…obviously this unit was dropped…but the exact story gets lost in the repair sometimes.  This unit appears to have been “dragged” along the concrete, like it fell off the roof of a car or slid down the driveway.  Most of the time, it doesn’t matter to us “how” it happened, but knowing sometimes satisfies the curiosity!

Have a cracked iPad Screen?  No problem.  We will take care of that repair for you, just drive on down to one of our locations (no appointment necessary) or give us a call and we’ll send FedEx to pick it up from your location anywhere in the USA.  Yes, even where you live, wherever that may be.

Apple 1:1 School Repair Program at Mission Repair

Hello there friends,

We’ve got a lot to talk about as we have made some simple changes in our Apple One to One School Repair program – if you didn’t already know, we offer repairs to schools around the country to assist in their efforts to maintain student devices.

Not only is this something that we have been doing for over 8 years (even before the One to One Program was released) and we’re happy to report that we are providing services for even some “Apple-Distinguished Schools” as time has progressed.

 

Why?  It’s a matter of economics.  There are scenarios that Mission Repair is a far better fit for some school districts than AppleCare.  Apple has done a good job of selling units and service programs, but they don’t do something that Mission Repair does, and that’s offer a better price on a service for a unit that has already been repaired once before.

It’s called our Got Repair program, and it’s the shining light that schools are looking for.

The best part about it is that even if you use our services as an “end user”, you get the Got Repair benefit automatically on our screen repairs.  Just check it out on our site, and you may know why Mission Repair stands above the rest.

Take care, Ryan

The Holiday Season is Upon Us. Really?

Good morning fellow shoppers,

I was reading my daily news and came across an article titled “Retailers aim to win over consumer wallets this holiday season”.

Wow the talk of the Holiday Season is already here and as a consumer myself, I’m slightly nervous that retailers are aiming to win over my wallet. I mean, this is MY wallet. Will I fall for the gimmicks? Probably…

Let the countdown begin. While Halloween festivities don’t kick off until this weekend, retailers around the country are already planning for holiday shopping, with Christmas a mere eight weeks away. REMINDER: Don’t wait until the last minute!

According to the article, Deutsche Bank’s Torsten Slock has an optimistic outlook on spending. In a note Monday, Slock said he expects the holiday season to be strong for retailers, based on a Gallup survey from earlier this month, which showed that consumers intend to spend an average of $812 on gifts this holiday season, the highest level since 2007 at $909.

Ok, so if I want to average the rest of the country, I need to come up with $812 extra dollars in the next 8 weeks. That seems tough when I open my precious wallet and see $43 in it 😉 Maybe this is a year that I’ll make “home made” gifts! Time to get crafty!

Well, I’m sure that the Arter Household will have a fine Holiday Season; I’m even already planning my Thanksgiving menu that starts with a request for French Toast in the morning. More on my famous French Toast later…

I’ll be back soon, but don’t forget that cooler temperatures and Holiday Cheers are just around the corner; it was kind of a shocker when I let it sink in this morning!

Take care, Ryan
