FORT WORTH, Texas, Oct. 20, 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 26 stores in the Chicago area.

"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 device," said Paul Rutenis, chief merchandising officer at RadioShack. "RadioShack has proudly served customers in Chicago since 1970 and we're happy to now have 26 stores in the Chicago area where we can provide the expertise and service of our skilled Fix It Here technicians."

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.
Chicago-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.
