    Absolutely unacceptable experience at the Apple Genius Bar…read more I came in for help and was told I couldn't be seen without an appointment. Fine -- I made an appointment for 3:30 PM and came back at 3:30 as instructed. When I returned, somehow my appointment had been moved to 3:45 without my agreement. Then I was told I couldn't even check in until 3:35. At 3:35, I was informed that their system had gone down and that there was no guarantee it would be back up anytime soon -- maybe 30 minutes, maybe three hours. The irony is incredible: there were more than 20 Apple "Geniuses" standing around, yet apparently not one of them could find a way to work around or fix their own system problem. This was an enormous waste of time and an astonishing waste of staffing and resources. A company that prides itself on technology should be able to handle a basic appointment and check-in process without leaving customers stranded because one internal system goes down. Very disappointing experience.

    Calling these employees geniuses is an insult to the English vocabulary…read more To be fair, we also understand Apple only cares about their metrics and their output. They do not want these technicians replacing parts helping you; really their job is to basically blame you your software you usage and force you into an upgrade I'm having a massive phone issues that is well documented online after not being checked in by two different staff members, having to ask other staff members to help. Now 20 minutes past my appointment I'm sitting waiting again. I'm running now 40 minutes over with one genius who leaves in the middle of my diagnostic passes me off to yet another person 20 minutes later. so now I'm there over an hour past my appointment time with no resolution and the resolutions this genius gave me we're not even legitimate or possible. You go to Apple they tell you make a genius for appointment you go to the genius bar. They say you have to order a replacement phone through Apple you go to order the replacement phone that says no you have to go to the genius bar. This AppleCare feels like the biggest scam compared to what it used to be. My battery is depleting 20% an hour and Apple support tells me it's my phone case and screen protectors and oh it's because of how I'm using my phone. I've had an iPhone since 2006. I work off my phone daily. This is not a usage problem. My phone is scolding to the touch and cannot charge without overheating and shutting down but yes, we are going to blame software and refuse to replace my phone. Well, I understand the gentleman that finally helped me was very kind. He did not actually help me in any sense of the form. I walked out of there just as frustrated and on my own as when I went in I am an experienced Apple user and the Apple service is so far down the gutter for the first time in two decades I considered switching to a different phone

    I had a really challenging problem and was getting the run around calling customer care, and Tyler…read moreat this location was the first person to actually hear my problem and understand! Thanks so much for the great customer service.

    // this review is being written, 2 years later so the limitations of my human memory are in this…read morereview. I visited this Verizon store around two years ago, as a customer and amn individual going through a lot of unforeseen circumstances that were outside of my understanding and control. It was a very tough time period-- the logistical barriers/obstacles, my mental health, and the disparity & juxtaposition between how I remember San Diego (as an undergraduate student at UC San Diego, which I suppose is La Jolla) were all disorienting. My phone went missing while I was commuting and "Fine My Device" marked its location that it was around the bus stop close to the San Diego Zoo. Unfortunately, I couldn't retrieve it. Thankfully, I could afford to get another phone through a family member. They ordered one for me and I just stumbled upon this store because it was nearby. There were no issues with the new Samsung Galaxy, at the time of opening the box/casing. It was new, and it served me mostly well until I decided to move away from San Diego. Thank God there was a way to communicate through this very challenging time period. I was cop-ing, sketch-ing, and test-ing my way through landscapes and lifescapes and cityscapes, for the sake of my mental health. This review has almost nothing to do with this store or with Verizon, sorry... but I remember that the employees (Customer Service, I think) at this store were OK. They did not strike me as disrespectful, even though I did not get the impression that they were tech experts or tech-literate. Simply remembering that they were somewhat respectful says a lot, from this time period...

I needed an old Microsoft surface laptop battery replacement and my friend's needed a fan replacement for her old school hp computer. Matt (I think that was his name) did the research on which part they needed to order, got it in within a couple of days, worked on it and had it ready in the same day. And I didn't have to pay hundreds of dollars...???? You can't beat the value and service here. Cell phones, laptops, all your tech stuff. I would give them a try first

    This place is a bust. Their website claims they can, and I quote, "handle any iPod repair that…read morecomes their way" alongside claiming they are iPod expert technicians. This is utterly false. When I showed up, the repairman looked up long enough to tell me that they don't fix iPods any more. When I responded that it claimed so on the website, he dismissed me saying, "yeah, well, the parts can be hard to get and can also be expensive" -- and I was just flabbergasted at the response. I walked away. Maybe he was not the Expert Technician the website claims they have who can repair ANY repair. For what it's worth, the technician did have at least three or four open iPhones that were being actively worked on out in the open at the cash register ... One thing is for sure, they do not work on any iPod repair issue. Ignore what their website says. What a bust.
