You broke your iPod, again. You’re not sure if it’s worth repairing or tossing. None of your friends have a clue either, and you don’t have the time to look into it. So you toss it and head out to the store for a new one. Here’s where Mobile Tech, a computer, iPod and cell phone repair shop, could have saved you some money. Mobile Tech offers free diagnostics and estimates on anything from custom home theaters to Blackberries. Even better, if you decide to go through with the repairs, they will do them fast. Mobile Tech was started in 2010 by Mick Baca. Baca came up with the idea for Mobile Tech after another company completed repairs on his computer. The overpriced repairs and week turn around left Baca with a bad taste in his mouth, but a sweet idea in his head. Baca, an eight-year resident of East Village, decided to set up Mobile Tech in his hometown and now feels the community has embraced it. “Business is growing every month, and we’re getting a lot of new customers through referrals,” Baca said. Mobile Tech offers a mobile service to pick up the broken item at no extra cost. Mobile Tech’s head technician, Johnny Ngo, is a former employee of Sony and has worked in the industry for six years. Mobile Tech aims to do effective, affordable, quick work with the utmost customer satisfaction. Andrea Soar discovered Mobile Tech’s customer service sooner just in time. Her computer went on the fritz just a day after moving to San Diego. She took it to Mobile Tech for repairs figuring she’d have it back in a few days. “They had it back in half a day, which was great because my computer is, like, my third hand,” she said. “They were really flexible with their hours of when I could drop my computer off,” said Shairee Collins, a frequent Mobile Tech user who recommends the company to friends. “My computer was in worse condition than I thought and they took care of everything for me.” Even if electronics aren’t causing you any problems now, Mobile Tech’s service is good to keep in the back of your mind. “The average person has three to six electronic products,” Baca said, adding that, eventually, some of these items will break down. Mobile Tech is located at 445 10th Ave. Quotes are also available over the phone by calling (619) 652-9900. Find more information visit www.mobiletechsd.com.
