With millions of Americans swiping across shattered smartphone screens, DISH has deployed its nationwide fleet of professional technicians, capable of reaching any U.S. home or business, to repair iPhones for consumers nationwide whether or not they are DISH customers.
Available today, “Smart Phone Repair” from DISH delivers a technician directly to a customer’s door. DISH’s network of skilled technicians in all 50 states will repair cracked screens and replace batteries on Apple’s iPhone 5, 5c, 5s, 6 and 6 Plus. In the coming months, DISH intends to expand its service to include additional devices and smartphone accessories.
With transparent pricing and trusted technicians, DISH has eliminated the hassle and uncertainty of smartphone repair for consumers nationwide.
“Fixing your phone shouldn’t mean losing your phone for days on end, so we come to you – whether you’re at the office, the gym or even the coffee shop,” said John Swieringa, executive vice president of Operations. “DISH is uniquely positioned with the technical know-how and ability to respond to a customer’s needs in every state across the country.”
DISH uses high-quality replacement parts from respected third parties. Repair prices are consistent across the country and offered upfront as customers explore available services on www.dish.com/smartphonerepair. Additionally, DISH offers onsite corporate events, providing a convenient solution for large-scale repairs on enterprise smartphones and employees’ personal devices.
DISH Delivers ‘Smart Phone Repair’ on Your Turf
“Instead of paying $650 or more to replace a smartphone, our technicians step in to extend the life of the phone when a screen shatters or a battery loses its charge,” added Swieringa.
DISH offers appointments seven days a week including same-day and next-day availability, and guarantees all repair work with a 60-day warranty. Customers reserve their onsite service with a one-time $35 “Drive to Me” travel fee that allows their technician to repair one device or many during the visit. DISH’s “My Tech” online appointment tool allows smartphone repair customers to view their technician’s name, photo and a countdown to their tech’s arrival. Customers may even track the DISH vehicle as it travels to meet them.

Two new Tijuana Flats locations are headed to St. Johns County, bringing the popular Tex Mex chain to a total of 10 locations in Northeast Florida.
The Orlando-based chain will open restaurants at Nocatee Town Center on Crosswater Parkway and at an in-the-works development at the intersection of U.S. 1 and S.R. 207 in St. Augustine. Both stores will have a footprint of about 2,400 square feet.
The Nocatee Tijuana Flats is expected to open late this year, while the St. Augustine location plans on an early 2017 opening.
The restaurant chain, which has 110 locations in Florida, Georgia, the Carolinas, Virginia and Indiana, already has a number of stores in Duval County, including a location in Riverside near Five Points. There are also locations on San Jose Blvd., Roosevelt Blvd., Beach Blvd., River City Marketplace, Deerwood Village, The Shoppes of Bartram and off of Country Road 220 in Fleming Island.
It has always been a part of the plan to expand further south in Northeast Florida, and the time is right, with a news release citing strong sales in 2015 and new private investors.
“Jacksonville and its supporting markets are like a second home for Tijuana Flats,” Vice President of Development for Tijuana Flats Patrick Fore said in the release. “Expansion south of Jacksonville continues along planned development routes to connect with customer demand as these are experiencing tremendous growth.”
Franklin Street acted as the broker for the signing of the two new locations.
