Wireless Planet

★★★★★

A small stucco building at a street corner. Painted on the wall is a superhero dressed in blue, with a red cape and boots that probably used to be red as well, with a globe (and sunglasses) for a head, flying or leaping while holding out a smartphone. Wireless Planet is emblazoned below it. Great local electronics repair shop. I’ve taken two devices in for repair over the last couple of months: a 2020 Pixel phone that needed a new battery, and a 2019 late-Intel MacBook that had just stopped booting. With the phone they had to order the battery, so it took a week, but with the laptop they recognized the problem, had the parts on hand, and fixed it overnight with no data loss. (I strongly suspect the Apple store would’ve pushed me to buy a new one, and if they were willing to repair it, they’d still have to send it into some central location instead of fixing it on site.) Friendly service, and the devices are still working!
