Hello! Who are you, and what business did you start?
My name is Matt McCormick, and I started TechUnwreck. We do bulk iPad, iPhone, Chromebook, and Laptop repairs for schools & businesses through a unique mail-in solution. We’re a division of JCD Repair which I started in 2008, catering to retail customers needing an iPhone, other smartphones, or iPad fixed in about 30 minutes in person.
Techunwreck’s core customers are schools with a fleet of student devices. It turns out that when you give 5th graders a computer or iPad, they break about 10% per year. We also work with several constructions, real estate, and finance companies repairing their company-owned smartphones, tablets, and computers. We even fix iPads for a local pro-sports team.
In 2021 we expect to do about 30,000 device repairs per year and $3 million in sales.
