It’s prom time, and Casey isn’t immune.

Hi friends, do you remember going to prom? I do…

Here’s my son Casey and his girlfriend at his Junior Prom last weekend, the pictures just came through on the prom website. Is he going to “love” that I posted this here on the Mission Repair blog? Nope. I will certainly hear about it tonight…but it’s not intended to make fun of him or to in any way demean the experience; my prom(s) were memorable and exciting!

It’s that time of year – that time that the “tuxedo guys” are doing some great business and all of the hair stylists are booked up on the weekends.

So Casey, good job buddy – you’ve just made an excellent life memory. You will look back at this picture and laugh at your hair, or your tux, or your something else…I guarantee it. If I had the guts I’d post a picture of my 80’s Junior prom, but I don’t. I’ll keep that to myself but all I have to say is “mullet” and we’ll leave it at that!

So to honor all of the prom goers that are out there this month, we’re going to run a 15% coupon today through Easter Sunday 4/20/14 at Midnight on our Mission Repair website. Just use coupon code “casey” when checking out online or when calling in your order. If you walk into one of our locations, print this blog and hand it to your sales representative for an instant 15% savings on your new order. This coupon cannot be combined with any other coupon. You’re going to need that iPhone to take pictures!

Get that boutonnière ordered!

Take care, Ryan

Harvester’s food drive and Mission Repair deal of the day!

Hello friends of Mission Repair –

If you didn’t receive our newsletter on Friday, then you have no idea that we are having an amazing food drive that is far exceeding my expectations already this morning. In addition, we actually even received a cash donation from a customer that brought in an iPhone for repair. The generosity of the public is overwhelming.

In fact, if you visit us today and bring a canned food item that we will donate to the Harvesters of Kansas City, we will give you 15% off of any repair. Just check out the details here.

There’s been a line at times up in the front office but rest assured that we are trying to do our best to make sure that not only the families of Mission Repair have a good Thanksgiving day, others around the city will too. Bring in the donation (you don’t need to buy anything from us to do so) and we will deliver the batch of goods to the Kansas City Harvesters tomorrow. I’ll personally take the delivery to them and double the amount of goods donated.

It feels good to give when others are in need, and you can feel good to while also enjoying 15% off of that iPhone repair today.

Take care, Ryan

Waterproof iPhone!

Hello friends-

Can it be true? A waterproof iPhone? How many times have you heard about a phone being “liquid damaged” and then fails to work? This would be an amazing piece of electronics!

Well, the fact remains that there is no waterproof version of the iPhone – and iOS 7 won’t save your device from water dunks either, despite the ads you may have seen. Those were a hoax.

The bottom line is that you should not take your iPhone swimming with you, even if you have the greatest ever “Backstroke Workout” playlist. These devices do not play well with H2O. I know most users that end up with liquid damaged phones don’t intentionally dive into the deep end with their devices…rather most liquid damages occur by accident. We have even heard of customers that don’t have any idea how their phones got wet which makes the liquid damage a total mystery! Trust me though, water will quickly corrode and kill a device.

Does that mean you should go buy a new phone? Remember that “out of contract” phones are ridiculously expensive!

Well, now that you’ve found Mission Repair, we can solve these issues in our service lab. We have state of the art equipment that allows us to perform several stages of logic board repair – starting with “Stage 1 – Liquid Damage Repair“. The best part about our service is that we do it in house with our certified technicians, we complete the repair within 48 hours and we DON’T charge you for any repairs if we cannot repair it. Of course, this can happen from time to time and we wouldn’t be able to sleep at night charging you for service that didn’t fix the issue.

So when in need, Mission Repair is there for you. Want more info? Give us a call at 866-638-8402 for help!

Take care, Ryan

We’re honored that you picked us for this!

Hi again everyone,

Just a quick blog to say that we’ve been featured in a prominent new blog that’s covering our home town of Kansas City. The website, BloggerLocal.com has featured us in their lineup!

So after an in-depth interview with journalist Ben Hartman, the article went up a few days ago. It’s a perfect fit for us since we have really established Mission Repair as the place to visit in Kansas City for iPhone and iPad repairs, even among the heavy competition that keeps popping up.

Well here’s to a great afternoon here in the KC area with fantastic weather today and I’ll be back shortly with a new Mission Repair special.

Best, Ryan

iPhone 5 screen repair price drop!

Hello folks, I know that you’ve been watching the news on the new iPhones like the colorful new iPhone 5C and the new more powerful iPhone 5S…

But what about us “old” iPhone 5 users that aren’t ready to make the “upgrade” move yet? This is where I’m at- in fact, I switched carriers recently and there’s no way I’m going to make the move from my iPhone 5 until long after my term ends…so I’m in the mode to protect and extend the life of my iPhone 5 as long as possible as I know a lot of people are!

Another Mission Repair price drop!

That’s why at Mission Repair we’re like a safety net for our customers that just use us when they need us. That would be, for example, if someone cracked their screen. Yikes! This leads me to my next segue into the new announcement that we just lowered our iPhone 4 screen repair price as of last night to the lowest price to date!

Why did we lower our price?

Well as usual we were able to lower our costs on the screen from our vendors, and we are just passing the savings onto you.

So when the new iPhone 5S starts shipping – don’t be envious of your buddy that got his in the mail; even if you love to have the newest and most cutting edge products. It’s OK, I won’t even be getting a new iPhone 5S (even though I want one!) because you’ve got us at Mission Repair in your corner. We’ll keep that old, outdated 😉 iPhone 5 running for years. Think of the money you’ll actually save.

OK, moving on to new products and services being released today. I’ll follow up with you here in our blog with fantastic news shortly!

Best, Ryan
