RadioShacks extends its Fix It service

10/20/2014

RadioShack’s same-day mobile repair service, branded as Fix it Here!, has been extended to more locations in the Chicago market.



The service is billed as a first-of-its-kind from a national retailer and offers owners of broken mobile devices such as tablets and smartphones the ability to have them repaired the same day, typically in less than two hours, for prices starting at $39.99.



This week the company extended the service offering to 26 stores in the Chicago area as part of an ongoing national rollout expected to have the service in 750 locations by year end. The service is currently offered at 550 stores.



"As a trusted national brand, we wanted to be the first to provide on-the-floor, same-day repairs to customers no matter where they purchased their device," said Paul Rutenis, chief merchandising officer at RadioShack. "RadioShack has proudly served customers in Chicago since 1970 and we're happy to now have 26 stores in the Chicago area where we can provide the expertise and service of our skilled Fix It Here technicians."



To become a skilled technician requires at least 40 hours of highly specialized, hands-on training to repair common issues such cracked screens, water damage, broken charging ports, camera issues and battery replacement.



RadioShack's global retail network currently includes more than 4,400 company-operated stores in the United States and Mexico and more than 1,200 dealer stores in 25 countries.
