FORT WORTH, Texas, Nov. 13, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- RadioShack's Fix It Here! same-day mobile repair service – the first of its kind from a leading national retailer – is now available in 30 stores in the Houston area. By visiting their neighborhood RadioShack store, smartphone and tablet owners can conveniently and cost effectively have common issues such as cracked screens, broken buttons and damaged charging ports repaired.

Fix It Here offers, in most cases, same-day repairs – typically in less than two hours – for the most popular smartphones and tablets on the market. Repairs for these devices start at $39.99 and include a 90-day warranty on parts and labor.

"As a trusted national brand, we wanted to be the first to provide on-the-floor, same-day repairs to customers no matter where they purchased their mobile device," said Paul Rutenis, chief merchandising officer at RadioShack. "RadioShack has proudly served customers in Houston since 1965. Houston has historically been one of our strongest markets and we're happy to now have 30 stores in the area where we can provide the expertise and service of our skilled Fix It Here technicians."

RadioShack's Fix It Here certified technicians have completed at least 40 hours of highly specialized, hands-on training to repair common issues such as the following:   

• Cracked screens
• Water damage
• Broken charging ports
• Broken buttons
• Camera issues
• Audio issues
• Battery replacement

In addition to specially trained associates, RadioShack's retail footprint makes it the perfect place to get your phone fixed on the go and grab a case or screen protector to prevent future damage. If repair isn't an option – or if it's time to upgrade – RadioShack associates can match customers with the ideal device and service plan.

Houston-area customers can locate a participating repair location with the Fix It Here finder, or look for the Fix It Here sign in the window of a local store. Check here for a list of supported devices.

Fix It Here is available in more than 650 RadioShack stores in key markets across the nation. RadioShack plans to rollout Fix It Here to 750 locations by the end of the year.
