​Electronics Repair Chain Opens In Marin

SAN RAFAEL, CA — A national electronics repair chain has opened for business in Marin.

uBreakiFix on Wednesday announced the opening of its San Rafael location at 777 Grand Avenue (Suite 104A).

The company offers repair services for electronics devices among other items. The company has more than 700 stores and has repaired more than 13 million devices, it said in a news release.

The new Marin business is scheduled to hold a grand opening celebration Jan. 15 from 2 to 5 p.m.

"Whether it's a coffee spill on a laptop, a shattered smartphone screen, or a piece of nostalgic tech that a customer wants to revive, our repair experts can help," uBreakiFix District Manager Syed Ahmed said in a statement.

"We know how frustrating it can be when your favorite devices break, and we're here to get them back up and running as quickly as possible."

uBreakiFix is an authorized repair provider for many brand name items, the company said.

The company launched in 2009 after co-founder Justin Wetherill dropped and shattered his own smartphone, sparking the idea for a convenient, affordable repair provider.

Wetherill partnered with David Reiff and Eddie Trujillo to bring the concept to life, and it has since grown from a single storefront in Orlando, Florida, to a national chain that has partnered with Asurion.

“We are excited to serve more people in San Rafael with fast and affordable tech repair," uBreakiFix CEO Dave Barbuto said in a statement.

"We all rely on our phones and laptops more than ever before, and at uBreakiFix our mission is bigger than repairing shattered screens and broken charge ports. We fix tech because people rely on tech to stay connected to things that are important to them. I look forward to serving this community through our new San Rafael location."
