Screech! That is the sound of your cell phone, tablet or computer meeting its untimely end. Or at least it used to be the end.
With modern technology, some repair shops can fix the damages of today’s favorite electronic devices. That’s where Digital Remedy comes in.
Last year, Digital Remedy opened its services for the public, but with students in mind.
The shop specializes in not just one mode of repair, but several.
Digital Remedy is located in downtown Monroe and is managed by Jessica Davis, a former ULM student.
Since the store opened several students have come in for repairs.
Lakron McCree, a freshman pre-pharmacy major, said she was pleased with her services at digital Remedy. As a freshman college student McCree also said she liked the prices.
“I went to Pecanland Mall and I paid $125 for my iPhone5 screen to be replaced and I came here and it was only $105. It also took a long time to finish the repair. Here, I received good and fast service,” McCree said.
The shop’s services are specifically targeted to help out students. It has the means to fix not only computers that have crashed, but water damaged phones and iPods as well.
Digital Remedy offers a 10 percent discount to all students with their school ID present.
The typical turn around for the Pecanland Mall shop is about three days per phone.
At one of the more popular computer repair stores it takes about three or four days to have a computer fixed.
Jessica Fairbanks, Digital Remedy’s owner, said she wanted students to have access to a fast repair shop that could be helpful for students.
