Week 5 Matchup of the Week

This week's Matchup of the Week is sponsored by...CDC Cellular Repair Services, LLC

Not familiar with the company? Either was I, but heck let's meet the owner...

This is John O'Rangers

When John O’Rangers lost his job, he tapped into his electronic skills using ham radio, becoming a certified cellphone repairman, and CDC Cellular Repair Services LLC was born.

 

Main product or service: Cellular phone repair: iPhones, smartphones, tablets

 

What led you to launch this business? Layoff from previous career. Tapped into my skills in electronics/ham radio, earned training and certification in cellphone repair.

 

What is unique about it? There are limited resources in the region for this type of service. I am trained to repair not only the level 1 basic cosmetic repairs, but can perform complex internal repairs, water damage repair, SMD soldering and so forth.

 

What do you do that nobody else does? Cellphone water damage, board-level soldered repairs such as charge ports, micro-USB ports. I also have dedicated training and certification from the top cellphone training school in the country.

 

Why do you believe you will be successful? First, there are few options in the region for phone repairs. Often insurance deductibles are too high or the carriers will not repair customers’ phones. I am also able to do many repairs in as little as one to two hours.

 

My business field is in high demand. Most people today rely on smartphones for so many activities, and need quality repair services. Repair service, especially when internal problems exist, are often beyond the scope of most individuals. I can be the solution to this. It is not uncommon to find people who claim to do these types of repairs, but very uncommon to find one that is trained properly. My business has the potential to do very well in a challenging economy as customers have less disposable income and are using their older devices longer.

 

Thanks for that informative interview John!

This week Team Shaft takes on Stormin Mormon in a battle of Division leaders. ESPN gives the all important checkmark to Team Shaft so that's who I'm putting my money on. I think I'm 4-0 on the season, but I could be wrong.
