The technician was very nice and he had a Wu-Tang shirt on so I knew he was somebody that I could count on. I explained to him that my husband bought my phone from this location and that we always come here for all the repairs on our phones. He evaluated my phone and gave me a price of $125 to fix the screen. He had me fill out a paper agreement for them to fix my phone. The estimated time for the repair was 30-45mins. I walked around the mall for about an hour, just to give them time to get it repaired. Plus, there were a lot of people in line here for repairs and the store is very busy. I came back and my phone is now fixed and ready! I paid them the $125 + tax and a small tip. The lady who works here is very very nice as well. She has a cute rhinestone upper lip piercing and she is super customer service oriented as well as the Wu-Tang shirt man. They have an excellent selection of any phone case for any phone and any cellular watches, just a very great place to be for mobile device products and accessories. I have everything from AirPods, headsets, device cases, iPad cases, watch, bands, cell phones on sale, etc. Today's experience was great.

    I had a really challenging experience as a new iPhone user, but Shane the store manager at the…read moreApple Store in Fashion Valley Mall, truly turned it around for me. Josiah initially helped me and was incredibly friendly & patient. He did everything he could within his role & tried his best to assist, even connecting me with tech support. Unfortunately, my issue was more complicated- I had created my iCloud acct. with a different spelling given the name I used was already taken, which made it very difficult to access & unlock my phone. That's when Shane stepped in, and I'm so grateful he did. He was patient and took the time to walk me through everything, and guided me on exactly who to contact and what steps to take. Even with my proof of purchase and ID, it wasn't enough to immediately resolve the issue, which is very frustrating- especially coming from Android and still learning how to navigate the iPhone. What stood out most was Shane's follow-up and genuine care. He checked in to see if I had heard back from tech support and made sure I was taken care of, knowing how long those responses can take. With his guidance and patience, I was finally able to get my phone unlocked. I truly appreciate both Josiah's kindness and Shane's dedication. Shane went above and beyond to make a stressful situation much easier, and I'm very thankful for his help. That said, I do feel Apple should make it easier for customers to unlock their own devices. It was frustrating that even with proof of purchase and ID, there isn't a way for stores to assist directly with unlocking, and wait time for online support to get back can take more than 2 1/2 weeks. Because of this experience, I would hesitate to choose Apple again in the future. My rating is higher primarily because of the excellent service from Shane and Josiah--their professionalism, patience, and follow-through made all the difference in an otherwise very frustrating process.

    Apple in Fashion Valley is like the typical crazy busy Apple stores in most places…read more Have been here a few times and although I didn't like the wait time for a tech staffer to help me at the Genius Bar, when I finally got someone to assist me with tech issues, the staffers all tried their best to Fix the issue. Some were successful and others not so much but I did witness their effort in really trying. Impressed with the work effort, I returned to this store to see if they could match another offer I got from ATT, where I would get a substantial amount for a trade in and additional discounts on accessories. Sadly, despite all their efforts, this Apple Store couldn't match all the offers ATT could and subsequently I ended up accepting ATT. The Genius Bar staffers and store manager were great and whether or not you have another offer, I suggest you see if Apple can match it. At least you'll know if your other offer is legit and worth it. Recommend

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.

    Typical AT&T, they'll NEVER change. I had a 1 PM…read moreappointment. I walked in at 12:59 PM. There were 2 sales associates. One was helping a client, and one was on his phone. No one asked if I had an appointment, and there was no sign-in sheet, like I have seen at other AT&T store locations. At 1:10 PM the first sales associate helped the woman who was there before me, and fair enough. At 1:20 PM, after watching the second associate continue on his phone, which was likely work and not play, the first associate got up, and said he'd help when he was done with the woman he was helping. I said that was fine, and that I had a 1 PM appointment. He checked and said he did not see any appointment (I still have the email receipt showing I did have an appointment). He said he'd quickly help as soon as he could. At 1:30 PM a brand new client walked in, after waiting about 2 minutes, the second associate took that random walk-in, before my appointment, which was now 30 minutes late. At 1:40 PM I walked out. I'd like someone from AT&T to contact me, so I can tell them where to send me a check for my wasted time. I'd also like John Stankey to terminate himself as CEO. He has had 5 years to make things better. Stank-man does not deserve to run a Starbucks location, let alone AT&T. AT&T has stayed in the cellar in terms of customer service, attention to detail, and don't get me started on how I have to call in to their 800# 3-5 times a year to correct an invoice. They are CONSTANTLY over charging me, and I am regularly calling in to explain things to them, to then get the bill reduced, along with a promise that it won't happen again. BUT IT KEEPS HAPPENING! I have never, ever been to an AT&T retail store that was efficient and knew that they were doing. And AT&T in general is one of the most horribly run companies of its size.

I had them transfer all my information from my old phone to the new one. I noticed a few weeks later that it was glitching out which I (and my husband) thought was due to the transfer of info, so we came back to the store where I bought my phone. Thought that made sense. So...we added our name to the queue and waited our turn. After an hour I got called. The woman that walked over had ZERO customer service. As I was explaining the situation she had a blank expression and finally my husband chimed in and the only thing she said is: did you got to the Apple Store. Not a hi, thanks for waiting, how can I help you? I get that according to her we were in the wrong place but there is a way to say it nicely. Seriously just a rude lady. I know it is the end of the day but come on. I've worked retail and sometimes it's not fun but you have to be cordial. So, we will be going to the Apple Store. Management should really work on training their employees or maybe it's just her. The other folks there seemed to be smiling and nice. But that one person can ruin the whole feel of a store and the customer's experience. She was the only lady working with customers this evening.
