Need somewhere to get your smart device fixed in Manassas?
Starting this week, you’ll be able to drop off your cell phones, tablets, computers and other electronic devices to the newly opened uBreakiFix location at 9960 Liberia Avenue at the Davis Ford Crossing shopping center in Manassas.
“At uBreakiFix we essentially repair any electronics…that would be cell phones, laptops, tablets – they do hardware and software. Basically if you can plug it in, we can fix it,” said store owner Kris Williams.
Williams owns two locations with co-owner Eric Miller. The Manassas store will be their third location. Currently, there are 145 locations nationwide, according to Williams.
Williams and Miller decided to open the new store, after seeing a demand in the area.
“We actually look for where our customers are coming from. And we actually have, at our other location [in Dumfries]; people are driving from Manassas to have us do their repairs. So we looked for a location that would be centrally located,” said Williams.
According to Williams, almost anyone is their target market, and what makes uBreakiFix stand out amongst their competitors is their quick turnaround and service.
“Anybody that is carrying, or using a cell phone, or a tablet, or a computer is our customer…anybody who’s utilizing a smart device is our customer…The majority of what we do can be done quickly, in a short time frame. A majority of the cell phones can be [fixed] in a few hours or less, as opposed to Geek Squad and [others]. We keep a majority of our parts in stock…we’re very good at troubleshooting smaller problems that will help a customer with their unique needs…and we don’t send anything out. We fix it right there in the shop, at the store,” said Williams.
The store is slated to open September 10.
