Coronavirus (COVID-19) Update

In response to COVID-19 we have developed a protocol according to CDC guidelines. See below for the actions we are taking.

  • Any staff who is sick, or has sick family members, is staying home.
  • We have reviewed the proper techniques with all employees, according to CDC guidelines, on covering coughs/sneezes and washing hands thoroughly for 20 seconds or more with soap and water.
  • We have reviewed the CDC recommended guidelines for social distancing of 6 feet or more with all staff.
  • We have implemented additional sanitizing practices in our store locations and have provided all stores with sanitizing products & processes for their workstations.

Social Distancing:

  • We have suspended our all employee meetings and moved smaller department meetings to virtual settings. This is an effort to minimize any congregating of our employees.
  • We have staggered timing for any/all technicians who come to our location for supplies AND we have put in place updated processes to re-supply them.The new processes minimize the number of employees present at one time and allow everyone to observe social distancing guidelines.
  • We have temporarily suspended all device purchase buybacks, and recycling.

Repair Process:

  • Our staff will sanitize your device prior to service, after service and sanitize the workstation in which the service was performed.
  • We have provided single use disposable gloves and hand sanitizer to our technicians
  • We ask that you please limit your time spent in our locations, and not to bring additional persons into our store to reduce foot traffic.

We ask that you, and anyone else, stay outside our facility during service. If any closer contact is necessary, we will observe CDC recommended guidelines of 6 feet or more for social distancing, and our technician will talk you through whatever they need or to answer your questions.
