2ND BEST REPAIR SERVICE IN THE UK. 🏆🇬🇧

And we’ve done it TWO YEARS IN A ROW.

The iLab has once again finished RUNNERS-UP for Best Repair Service at the Mobile Industry Awards, making us officially 2nd place in the UK.

For a small independent business from Barnstaple, that feels huge.

We were the only small independent retailer in the category, competing against some of the biggest names in the industry.

The judges highlighted our consistent high standards and our incredible customer reviews. That means everything to us, because those reviews come from the people we help every single day.

To be recognised as the 2nd best repair service in the UK once is an incredible achievement.

To do it two years running is something we are extremely proud of.

We are proud to represent Barnstaple.
We are proud to represent North Devon.
And we are proud to show that a small independent business can compete nationally.

A massive thank you to every customer who has supported us, recommended us and left us a review.

2ND BEST REPAIR SERVICE IN THE UK.
TWO YEARS IN A ROW.

What an achievement for our team. 🏆💙

We have been asked about this a few times already today!

Please see below

⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️

We’ve been made aware of fraudulent text messages claiming to be from RingGo Parking about an “unpaid parking charge” and asking recipients to click a link or reply to the message.

Please be aware: RingGo would never contact customers by SMS to request payment for an unpaid parking charge.

If you receive a message like this:

⚠️ Do not click any links
⚠️ Do not reply to the text
⚠️ Do not enter any payment or personal details

These messages are a scam and are designed to trick people into sharing sensitive information.

If you’re ever unsure about a message claiming to be from RingGo, please only use RingGo’s official app or website to check your account or parking session details.
