TORONTO – Canadian mobile repair service Mobile Klinik is expanding in to Western Canada after buying the mobilFIX and Dr. Mobile smartphone repair businesses. Financial terms of the deal were not disclosed.
Established in 2013, mobilFIX and Dr. Mobile operate two locations each in West Edmonton Mall, while mobilFIX also operates another three locations in the Edmonton area. All seven current locations will remain open to serve customers as they transition to the Mobile Klinik brand. Two new locations in Alberta are scheduled to open shortly as Mobile Klinik.
“This acquisition both accelerates our profitable growth and will anchor our growth strategy in Western Canada,” said Mobile Klinik founding partner and CEO Rob Bruce, in the announcement. “We are excited to work with the talented team at mobilFIX and Dr. Mobile to serve Albertans with while-you-wait, fully warrantied professional smartphone and tablet repair.
Former mobilFIX and Dr. Mobile CEO Sunil Goel will take on a new national role at Mobile Klinik.
“Joining forces with Mobile Klinik gives us access to growth capital, experienced leadership, and an opportunity for our team to join the most professional smartphone repair company in Canada”, Goel added.
Founded by former Rogers Wireless head Rob Bruce, former Wind Mobile CEO Ken Campbell and Alain Adam and Naaman Zorub from AZ Wireless, the company promises on-site smartphone and tablet repair in less than 60 minutes.
