ABOUT ITECH MOBILES Founded in 2014 by entrepreneur of Itech Mobiles & Laptop Reairs is the leading high tech brand in offering express repairs of any kind of smartphones and tablets. The concept of Itech Mobile was born out of the clear need in the market place for a trusted and specialist solution for those looking for tech repairs. While at university, we identified through his own misfortune with his smartphone that the market was completely under serviced, despite the fact that smartphones and other personal devices were becoming increasing important to our everyday lives. It was here he began his mission to create a trustworthy brand and team who could provide top quality service and quick repairs and in 2006, the very first Itech Mobile store was opened in London. Since the opening of the first store, we have rapidly expanded to many high street, train station and shopping center locations across London and the UK, with many more planned for 2021!
