uBreakiFix Expands in Central Florida, Opens Location in Ocala

OCALA, Fla., April 30, 2018 -- Tech repair brand uBreakiFix opened its newest location, uBreakiFix Ocala, on April 24 at 2393 SW College Road. The store joins other locations across North Central Florida, including stores in The Villages and Gainesville.

uBreakiFix specializes in same-day repair service of small electronics, repairing cracked screens, software issues, camera issues and other technical problems at its 385 stores across North America.

uBreakiFix services anything with a power button, including smartphones, game consoles, tablets, computers, drones, hoverboards, and everything in between. To date, uBreakiFix has completed more than 4 million repairs. While common fixes include cracked screens, software issues, and camera issues, the brand offers support for most technical problems on any electronic device, regardless of make or model.

Through strategic partnerships with leading technology companies, including Samsung and Google, uBreakiFix provides Samsung Galaxy customers and Google Pixel and Pixelbook customers with manufacturer-backed, same-day repair services using genuine parts. Through the partnership with Samsung, Galaxy owners can get in and out-of-warranty repairs at more than 300 locations nationwide, with most repairs completed in two hours or less.

uBreakiFix Ocala is the third location for local owners Troy Lay and Jerrod Williams, who also own stores in Gainesville and North Gainesville. Both Army veterans, Lay and Williams plan to offer a 10 percent discount for fellow veterans out of respect and appreciation of their service.

“Ocala is a great family town, and we noticed a tremendous need for high quality, reliable, and affordable tech repair,” said Williams, “uBreakiFix has been so well received in Gainesville, and we look forward to becoming the go-to resource for tech repair in Ocala and the surrounding communities.”

“Ocala is a great family town that we feel was underserved as far as tech repair goes,” owner Troy Lay said. “There’s no other franchise that offers fast, quality repair like uBreakiFix.”

uBreakiFix was founded in 2009 by millennial duo Justin Wetherill and David Reiff, who later partnered with Eddie Trujillo to transition their Internet-based brand to a brick and mortar model. By offering convenience, accessibility, and unparalleled customer service, uBreakiFix filled a gap in the repair marketplace and has since emerged as an industry leader in growth, service offerings, and authorized partnerships. In 2018, Wetherill was inducted into the Forbes Technology Council, and uBreakiFix earned a top spot on Entrepreneur’s Franchise 500® list, ranking #18 overall, #1 in the Electronics Repair category, and #1 on the Top New Franchises list.
