What is this new app going to do for you?

Well to get right to the point- it’s going to allow you to run a complete scan and diagnosis of your iPhone from your location. With a “passing” score, you can then buy our exclusive MPG iPhone Protection Plan (right from the app!) then rest easy – with our MPG plan (which is like iPhone Insurance) adds glass breakage and other failures for a one-time fee. It’s a guarantee of the performance of the iPhone. With coverage plans ranging from one to two years, you almost can’t afford not to protect your iPhone (or iPod Touch!). Stay tuned, more coming soon!

Drew Allen Baccus arrived without complications and is a healthy new addition to the Mission Repair family!

Congratulations Kyle!

It sounds like I’ll be at the hospital counting fingers and toes into the wee hours of the morning. It’s kinda nice being the voice of experience in situations like this, I hope I can help them out with their day! Nicole is VERY ready to have this baby so I’m glad the day is here.

I’ll be back soon with the announcement and vital statistics. If I know Kyle, this kid already has an iPhone waiting for him next to the crib

I’ll be in touch.

Oh, by the way, we are performing a functional test of our iPhone App tomorrow. Crossing our fingers that the revisions and bugs are minimal. I’ll be in touch about this soon, it’s “due date” is also drawing near!

Best, Ryan

Thank you to all of our loyal blog readers. We have a lot of new visitors and customers and this blog is a great way for you to stay current with the Mission Repair buzz. Well, what’s new today?

Our very own Mission Repair iPhone and iPod Touch App is coming very soon! What is this App going to do for you? Well, probably only the most important thing that you can do for your iPhone. . .protect it. With our App, that you’ll be able to download from iTunes very soon, you’ll be able to remotely run a diagnostic test of your iPhone and sign up for our affordable iPhone Protection MPG Program (think of it like iPhone insurance) from your location, and instantaneously have iPhone coverage. You know, coverage for things like glass breakage, batteries, charging ports, screens, logic boards and more! Here’s a candidate for the App desktop icon:

We’ve already had a huge influx of customers that have added Mission Repair’s iPhone MPG Coverage to their iPhones and iPod Touches, but now we will be able to easily reach every customer in the US for coverage and it will only take a few minutes of your time for the peace of mind that comes with our protection plans. How do we do it? We couple our fully underwritten and insurance based partnership with Mission Repair’s award winning iPhone Repair Service to bring you the most complete coverage with service performed by the people you trust. Remember, that if you ever have to file a claim, Mission Repair will take the call AND perform the repair IN HOUSE. Compare this to the other “insurance” plans out there. When you have a claim, who is performing the repair? Do you trust your iPhone to be repaired by unknown personnel? When you call to file a claim, will you be talking to the actual technician that will be servicing your needs? These are important questions that you may want to know!

This is my first blog about the new App. There will be many more to come. Thanks for checking back in with us (we have almost 200,000 unique readers as of today!!) and I will be back soon.

Have a wonderful Thursday, Ryan

I’m sure that I’ll order one. I’m sure that it’ll feel like magic after I open it up. I can’t wait. It’s like Christmas in April, but I have to buy my own present

However there are many speculations on whether we should wait for the future release of the iPad or not. Remember a few weeks ago, we showed you a picture of the iPad frame that we received and it looks like it’s got a spot for a camera? See my earlier blog post titled “iPad Camera rumor becoming a reality? We think so.” Yeah, I think that a camera would be great. Then there are many people that just flat our advise against buying the “1.0″ version of any new technology. Maybe you’d want to wait for a USB port. . .or maybe the next revision would have better pricing. I would bet that all of these dreams will come true and more.

However, just like any technology, once you buy, you should never second guess yourself. Get what you want, what makes you happy, and live it. If you look back and say “I could have waited and got a better deal” or “The new iPad has a camera and mine doesn’t” you will find yourself in a never ending downward spiral or wanting/wishing/waiting for the next best and greatest thing – unless, of course, technology stops updating. Gulp!

So, where am I at on this? I’m getting an iPad, rev. 1.0. If you want to wait and just share my experience with me, check back on my blog in early April. I’ll post pics and thoughts and maybe even a video or two.

Merry Christmas, Ryan

The “man”, Phil Esau, one of our resident iPhone Repair Experts, normally goes home for lunch as he lives very close to the office. Typically, just like every other Friday of the month, he would have left at about 11am to take his hour break to munch on some home made goodness. However last Friday was a little different. . .

We organized a company luncheon and I brought in a bunch of pizzas from our local delivery company.

So as the story progresses, it just so happened that Phil decided to stay at Mission Repair to eat pizza with the rest of the group. Concurrently, our local natural gas company, Atmos Energy, was making their rounds through Phil’s neighborhood and when they approached his house, they noticed a faint gas smell in the vicinity.

Upon further investigation and exploration the Atmos employee decides that there is some sort of major gas leak coming from Phil’s house! This is just crazy, and since there is no one home the only choice they have is to call the fire department to forcibly enter Phil’s house. Which they did.

The Olathe Fire Department smashed his front door in. During lunch, Phil received a call and rushed home to asses the damage.

There was in fact a leaking valve in the house. It had filled his house with gas, and had Phil made his way home for lunch at his usual 11am time slot, he would have entered like normal, flipped on a light switch, and the rest would be history.

It shall be known, that Phil “the luckiest man alive” was saved by pizza. It’s just the facts

OK, let me come down from the drama. This actually happened to Phil and he’s in the process of getting a new front door. He DOES feel lucky, and it was fortuitous that the gas man was walking by at the same time the leak started, and also that Phil did not come home at his normal lunch time. Phil, we’re glad to have you and your house intact!

In honor of Phil’s destiny unfolding before his eyes, we’re issuing a 15% off coupon to memorialize his big day. That’s right, 15% off any order between now and 3/15/10. Just enter coupon code “DESTINY” and it’ll remove that 15% off immediately. Just remember that this coupon cannot be used in conjunction with any other coupon!

Take care, Ryan

Our Unibody MacBook Glass is the highest quality available – don’t be fooled as there are many different “copycats” out there looking to get into the MacBook Unibody Glass Repair market. We got to thinking- should we show one of the weaknesses of the “other” glass that’s out there? I thought we should. Is our latest YouTube Video technically perfect? Nope. But it was fun. And we got to destroy something! Check it out and decide for yourself…and the next time you need a MacBook Unibody Glass Repair think of Mission Repair first!

I’m heading to lunch. . .see ya later. Ryan

If you’re still not satisfied performing this repair on your own, of course we can take care of it for you as we offer a flat-rate service for iPhone 3GS dock port repair here.

Thanks and have a good YouTube experience!

Best, Ryan
