GoMobile Recycling & Rebate Program

When you walk through the doors of our humble Vancouver cell phone repair shop, you will instantly recognize we’re not your regular tech company.

The good thing about getting the same question again and again is you can formulate the perfect answer: “Yes, I did go to school,” I say with a straight face. “I went to the U of Tube.

And yes, I watched a lot of videos on YouTube – but what is the real story on how we came to be one of the most recognizable cell phone repair shops in Vancouver?
