Tech Repair Service
Opens in Downtown Greenville
GREENVILLE, Ohio - Downtown Greenville has a pair of fresh faces
standing by to fix your phone, tablet, or game system.
Ryan Wintrow and Trevor Brumbaugh opened iSelect Cellular Solutions in
downtown Greenville on November 4th, 2017. The two are no strangers to
running a business, however. Some may remember Go Go Gamers, a business
created by Wintrow and managed by Brumbaugh. The store was opened by
Wintrow in 2014 when he was just 17 years old.
The store offered used video games and gaming systems as well as phone
repairs, but Wintrow wanted to shift his business model to focus on
technology repair services. Repairing broken phones and game systems is
something he took an interest in when he was young and it is a skill he
taught himself and improved upon over the years. Wintrow is now
imparting that knowledge to Brumbaugh as the two work side by
side.
While Ryan was the proprietor of Go Go Gamers, it was actually Trevor
Brumbaugh’s suggestion that led to the opening of iSelect Cellular
Solutions.
“I was previously working in a factory job but knew I wanted to do
something different,” said Brumbaugh. “I texted Ryan one day about
starting a business specifically for repairs and we came up with the
plans from there. He [Ryan] actually already had the name picked out!”
The two began developing the business model in August of this year and
opened their storefront location about three months later. They credit
the quick opening of the business to Wintrow’s foresight and previous
business experience.
“Because I already had the name picked out and licensed with the state
it made the process a lot quicker,” said Wintrow. Brumbaugh added, “He
also had a lot of prior knowledge on the paperwork and procedures
involved since he’s opened up a business before. That saves a lot of
time.”
Trevor and Ryan were also grateful for the assistance of Eric Brown of
EB Real Estate in finding the location for the store and getting moved
in quickly.
“It is great to see young entrepreneurs in Darke County opening local
small businesses,” said Brown. “iSelect Cellular is providing a service
that was previously not available in Darke County. I hope the public
will patronize and embrace this small business, as Ryan has already
established himself within the community through his past business
experience. The entire EB Real Estate team wishes Ryan and Trevor all
the best!”
The business, located at 109 E. 3rd St, specializes in phone, tablet,
and game system repairs. They can replace cracked screens, fix broken
charging ports, help with minor software bugs, and much more.
Wintrow believes what sets them apart from a chain store is the fact
that they keep things local.
“A lot of the larger phone stores will ship off your items for repair.
You drop it off to them and they send it away and you’re left without
your item. We do everything here in house. If it’s a minor problem you
can either wait here while we fix it for you, or drop it off and come
get it later in the day. Most repairs can be done within an hour or
two.”
iSelect Cellular Solutions also uses Original Equipment Manufacturer
(OEM) or OEM grade parts, so you know your device is receiving the
highest quality repair parts. They also offer a lifetime warranty on
their repairs and have screen protectors and phone cases available for
purchase. They are proud to offer a standing 15% discount for uniformed
service customers.
The store hours are Monday-Thursday & Saturday 11 am - 5 pm and
Friday 11 am - 6 pm. The store is located at 109 E. 3rd St, right
behind The Blue Bow Boutique. For more information about the business
