I've been an electrician for 25 years. Last June I was laid off. Quite frankly I'm burnt out on construction. One night I Googled business opportunities. From there I found a list of franchises. Most were fast food or retail, nothing that interested me. I then stumbled on to CPR-Cell Phone Repair. I contacted the vice-president of franchising and he invited me to visit with him in Orlando (that was this past September) I liked what he had to say. I came home and wrote a 24 page business plan. (I thought writing a resume was tough). I then submitted the business plan to some banks, and I'll be damned! I was approved for the loan!
Two weeks ago I opened my doors for business, at the southwest corner of US 31 & County Line Rd. in Greenwood. We do just as our name says, we fix cell phones. We also repair tablets, laptops, gaming system, and just about any electronic device. We even looked at a GPS-dog collar. Our techs have about and 80% recovery rate at fixing liquid damaged devices. We buy, sell trade,recycle, repair, and have a good selection of cases and chargers,
Please stop by and visit us, ask for me (Rusty) I'll give anyone that mentions HH a 10% discount on their repair.

Thank you for the post. I sure hope this works out and if anything breaks I'll be down. Good luck on this. Another gentleman who sometimes visits this site, Josh Ward, just opened a sporting goods store front in Fortville. I applaud you and others who jump into the business ownership world!

Is it possible for you to give folks on here, or me specifically, some idea as to what the idealistic price to buy something new vs. a reasonable repair cost would be so I can figure out what might make sense to possibly have repaired vs just going and buying the thing new. Here is an example. I've got a couple of mojo ducks that aren't work, might be battery, that probably need contact repair or clean up. I can buy these things new for about $90 to $125. PM if that is a better way to communicate on this.

Depending on your particular device and if the backlight is still working or not the price can range anywhere from $115-$215

Our most common repair is a broken screen on the iPhone 4&4S models. If you aren't eligible for an upgrade from your provider, they may try to sell you another phone for around $700. We can repair the screen for $90 which is still cheaper than your deductible, if you had the insurance.

Feel free to bring your ducks to us. We can take a look at them and see if repairing them is cheaper than buying new ones.
