ALWAYS MOBILE in WHEATON MALL. They changed their name just b/c they suck! THIRD AND FINAL VISIT! I can't make this stuff up! I had to come back to this awful establishment because my phone was flickering, opening apps on its own, selecting emails and opening them, I couldn't take pictures, and the list goes on. I was excited to see a different face, who turned out to be the owner. Thinking I'd get quality customer service from the owner, I explained my situation and said I was in there just the day before. He said I had a defective screen and he'll change it. Great! He started asking me questions about my first visit there, asked me if I was the one who wrote the one and only Yelp review and I said yes. It was all down hill from that point on. He became very aggressive, arguing that I should've never given them just 1 star and I'm trying to ruin his business. I told him I can see why his staff are so rude, because as the leader you set the culture and you are very unprofessional. He replied saying I'm the unprofessional one, and so on.
He then offered me a refund to which I gladly accepted. I stood there as he walked around the store for 5 minutes and I finally said are you going to give me a refund. He said oh I need to find a screen to give to you because you will not be keeping my screen and get a refund. This is the "defective" screen that he wants back. So I asked him if he had my old screen, and of course he didn't. Finally, he doesn't have a screen to give to me so he says the only other choice is to replace my screen using another manufacturer and he will give me half off of the original $95 I paid. Great, that works for me. By this time I've been in this place well over 20 minutes. He starts to take apart my phone when an employee walks in and shows him my 2nd Yelp review. He starts reading it then becomes livid. Saying they did everything they could for me and how do I rate establishments, and I'm trolling, and so on. He said I used such strong language by saying "I hate these people". To which I replied...yes, I hate it here! He argued that I said I hate the people. Whatever...I do...I hate them all! Zero customer service skills whatsoever! He will never learn!
I told him I didn't have much time because I'd need to get to work soon. He said well you're gonna have to wait! You'll just wait!! I said fine and I waited. Another man came in, who is apparently a business colleague, and the owner and I were still disagreeing over my review. The man asked where I worked and told him to mind his business so of course he went on to say I just want to be mad and that we've been going back and forth for way too long, get over it. This owner allowed some random man to get involved in our discussion and at no time asked him not to harass me. I was floored! I was there for 1 hour and 18 minutes. Ridiculous! By the end of all of this man's whining, he apologized only after I pointed out he nor his staff ever apologized for all I've gone through and having to drive 45 minutes twice to get my phone fixed when it should've been done properly the first time. All he did was make up excuse after excuse.
Finally the phone is "repaired". He told me he was confident in the phone being repaired but if anything else goes wrong, he will personally drive to me and repair the phone. Yeah right...like I ever want to see him again. When it was time to get my refund, he said $95 is not even so how about $45? I said sure (not wanting to even get into it with him again). I left. No matter what, I will never go back to this place. You shouldn't either. Worst experience of my life! There's so much more that was said but I'd be here all day writing it. It was unbelievable that an owner would be so upset by their one and only Yelp reviewer and think I would change my rating after all he said to me. Yeah right!! read more
