Who owns ubreakifix?
uBreakiFix was established in Orlando, Florida as a single shop. It then quickly expanded by offering franchise opportunities. Their business model centers around servicing equipment such as smartphones, game consoles, tablets, and computers. In August 2019, uBreakiFix was acquired by Asurion, LLC, an insurance company.
Asurion, LLC is a privately held company based in Nashville, Tennessee, that provides insurance for smartphones, tablets, consumer electronics, appliances, satellite receivers, and jewelry. In 2014, the company operated in 14 countries and had 49 offices with 19,000 employees serving 280 million consumers.
In 2016, Google made them the only authorized walk-in repair provider for the Pixel and Pixel XL, providing the company with OEM parts for replacements. Industry reports speculated that this choice was made for Google to compete with the Apple Genius Bar, which offers in-person iPhone repairs.
