Cellphone / Electronic Repair Hawaii: Comments from the professionals at MobileREMEDIES®

Today, in our modern society, technology makes the “world go ‘round” and we have become dependent on our portable devices. Unfortunately, no matter how carefully we handle them, they are fragile enough that they can abandon us when we need them most. Cracked screens, charge ports that don’t work, batteries that die too quickly and water/liquid damage are just a few of the problems we all face at one time or another.

The manufacturers would have us believe that the only option is a new replacement. The insurance companies want us to believe that we need to pay expensive monthly fees and then pay high deductibles to “protect our investment” and to pay them instead of the manufacturers for an “equivalent” replacement device! Both count on you believing that repair of your device at a reasonable price and with a valid warranty is either not possible or too much of a hassle. While this was once true, it is no longer! As the value and sophistication of our devices continue to increase, reputable and reliable repair centers are now providing this needed service, in some cases while you wait or run a short errand. Unfortunately, many people are still unaware of this cost-effective option.

In Hawaii, where we have millions of tourists visiting us from all over the world each year bringing their portable electronic devices with them, we have developed this expertise better than in many other states. If, however, you do a Google search for iPhone repair, iPod repair, iPad repair, cell phone repair or computer repair / laptop repair in Hawaii you will find a number of sites in each category that are mail-in centers on the Mainland with large advertising budgets. There is no need to send your device off the islands, whether you live here or are here on a 2-week vacation. You will find a number of local companies that offer excellent and reliable service, some specializing in one type of repair or another. Check out their websites and make some phone calls. You can tell a lot by speaking directly with a technician or a sales representative. You will be pleasantly surprised at how rapid and reasonable repairs can be.

 Wouldn’t it be nice to have a single location where you could discuss any issues you have with your cell phone, iPad, laptop, MP3 player, digital camera and more? Some companies are truly one-stop electronic repair centers with the technical expertise and the resources to deal with almost any problem that comes up with these portable electronic devices. Water damage is common in the Islands and the success rate for these repairs is extremely high if the devices have not been dried out or charged! Prices are usually less than your insurance deductible and much less than a new replacement. Some companies charge nothing for an attempted repair unless it is successful and give a 1-year warranty on parts and labor! Some also buy broken devices and sell refurbished devices with a 1-year warranty, similar to the manufacturer, and offer web services for small businesses. It’s time for you to become aware of the existence of these one-stop electronic repair centers and to take advantage of their cost-effective services.
