This is kinda 2 reviews. For small fixes, like cracked iphone screens and stuff, this place is awesome. Super fast, super friendly, cheap prices, can't recommend enough. For larger fixes, though, I rate this spot lower. My Macbook Pro crashed, and it took 2 weeks to get fixed. They were super friendly and gave me a loaner during the time it took to fix, and put in the loaner my hard drive from my broken computer so I had everything I needed during that time. I don't blame them for the delay, as it was a pretty big fix and they are a small staff. My computer runs great and they charged me below industry norms, but just know if you're looking for a quick turn around time and your electronic problem is major, it will take a bit. read more

Truly A+ service. I come here for repairs on all my Apple devices. Always timely, friendly, and the pricing is very fair. They are my go-to for Apple help! read more

Jerry has repaired my stuff for the past few years. He always does awesome work at a reasonable price and he is a wonderful guy who runs a really honest business. I cannot recommend him enough to you. If you have a job and it can be done, then this is the place to go. 20x more efficient than was the Apple Store. Please support local businesses like this one and you won't be disappointed. read more

Dropped my laptop off for a new battery because the top wouldn't stay closed, and I was afraid the battery was swelling. I had been ignoring the service battery message. opps They recognized that the hinge need to be replaced. (and also needed a new battery) Got it home and the hinge is so smooth I can't believe I didn't notice this before. They are my goto shop for my laptop and iphone! read more

This place is the real deal! Came here because of all the positive reviews, and it's true. They are as good as they say. I will never go to a different repair shop! They are super helpful, fast, and won't take advantage of you! It's nice to come across an honest business!! Thank you read more

Oh my goodness...I cannot say enough good things about this place. Somehow my macbook pro got water damage to the inside circuit board and fried it. They took it apart and were able to clean away the corrosion and gave me the option to repair the board (cheaper, but a little longer repair time) or replace it with a new one (only takes one day, a little more pricey). I opted for the new board and they finished quicker than anticipated (less than one day!!!) and my computer works like new. I will ALWAYS take my electronics to this place. They also work on PC laptops as well, FYI - my dad is going to be bringing his in for repairs shortly, too, after hearing what a great job they did. Extremely professional, courteous and so, so patient. I highly recommend. read more

These guys are quick to repair! Also, I've dropped my iPad from a huge height into tiles and the screen protector saved it...twice, super pleased with their thoroughness and my that my iPad survived. Awesome team read more

Aplus Electronics - IT Services & Computer Repair Near Me - Encinitas, California

Just got my iphone 6s+ battery replaced. Took them 15 minutes.. superb service. I've had my Macbook pro and my wife's Air done here too, all done professionally at a great price. Great quality service - I highly recommend Jerry's team at Aplus. read more

Jerry was so patient with all my questions and talked with me to explain all my options of what I wanted help with. I made the right choice with having him complete the service of what I needed. He was always available when I needed even more answers to questuins. The service was fast and the prices were a great value. I will highly recomend to anyone. read more

They charge an extremely high premium for extremely simple and non labor intensive services pretty much a glorified mall kiosk

BEYOND happy with Sarah and Jerry!! Thank you so so so much! You saved my "unreparable" water damaged computer and at a great cost! My only regret is not coming to see you sooner! Went to "another Apple recommended shop" before, got charged double and they didn't do anything. Can't thank you enough and will recommend you to everyone. Thank you again, (typing from my saved computer) YEII! Dina read more

Jerry was great! I blew the speakers on my MacBook pro and can't function without good music and sound from my mac. He had me in and out in day. Machine is like new. Very happy. Support your local small business. You can go here instead of the apple store, not have to pay as much and get better service. :) read more

I took my iPhone 4 to Aplus to get my front screen fixed and recall paying about $150+ to get it fixed. When I brought it in I mentioned it was difficult to turn the phone on/off and that was an issue bothering me. They fixed the screen (at a very expensive price) and commented that they could have fixed the on/off button in a matter of seconds "for free" had I asked them to do it. After they made that comment I asked Aplus if they could hold onto the phone and fix it later; they said they couldn't do it since I didn't "ask" them to do it in advance (even though I told them about it). Great customer service for something I could have got fixed with parts on eBay for less than $15 (later to find out). I dropped my phone on another occasion and my brother told me to go on eBay and buy a repair kit. He had done it in the past. I was apprehensive to do so, but it took 2 little screws to unwind and bam, a new iPhone screen for $15 and no two hour wait for Aplus. You can eBay this, in the search tab look for "REPAIR PART KIT Cover Housing For IPHONE 4 4g+ screw driver". I still have issues turning my phone on/off. I'm going to figure out how to fix it on my own. As for Aplus, I would not use them again. I'm soo mad about having to fork out a lot of money just to have them tell me they could have helped me with something and choose not to. Why pay $100 - $200 for something you can do yourself in a matter of minutes? That is not Aplus service. That is Aheadache. I'm glad Aplus worked for a lot of people here. Maybe each of us how our own weird ways of blowing money. But one of my 3 pet peeves is getting ripped off. I found Aplus through Yelp and do not believe they did me any favors. They told me their parts were directly from Apple cost about $100 for the screen (to justify their prices). I make it a point to not believe everything I hear. Speaking of that, I still can't believe Aplus did not fix my on/off switch and threw it in my face. To each is own I guess. read more

Amazing customer service. Quick turn around time. Reasonable prices. This one-stop-shop, conveniently located in the heart of the coastal Encinitas community near the 101, offers repair for all types of electronics, including desktop pcs, macs, laptops, tablets, Apple products, (iPhones & iPads), and cell phones. Whether the repair is related to software or hardware, Aplus is experienced, skilled, and knowledgeable. I brought it in my external hard drive which was damaged and corrupt. They were able to do a full data recovery on their computers. The price was ONLY $75, which is considerably less than the regular $250- $500 quoted for level 2 data recovery at most places. I also brought a Samsung Galaxy Note 2 in for a screen repair. The screen was completely black and didn't work. The courteous lady took a look at it underneath a special light, and within 30 seconds was able to conclude that the LCD had broken. She even was able to point it out to me where the LCD had broken. Right off the bat, she recommended that I replace the phone since the repair would cost a lot. That's what I call "Honesty", folks. It don't get much better than that. There's a reason this place has 5 out of 5 stars. It's because the quality of the service is fantastic, the turn around time is impressive, and the prices are great. read more

Positive: quality work and did it by a dead line I set. I like the work. Negative: replacing the glass screen on my iPhone was $125. They say you can't put a price on service. I say yeah you can, about $50 cheaper. read more

This place is awesome! Luke S. iPhone 3GS stopped working... I knew that Apple was going to overcharge him to just look at it and that it may take 1 week just to find out what was wrong. Like a good yelper... I yelped and found Jerry! We arrived just as he was about to close. He took the phone. He said that if I hadn't heard anything by Monday afternoon, to give him a call. I did not need to do that. He called me first thing Monday morning. Unfortunately, he wasn't about to fix the phone. The motherboard had completely stopped working and the phone was unresponsive. The good thing was it did not cost a thing to check out the phone. This place should definitely be your first stop... read more

Can't say I am a fan because it's expensive! But hey, they got the job done! ETA: Please ask for a discount! He will give you at least $10 off! read more

I have been coming to Jerry for couple years... he is like my family doctor when it comes to my phone...where do i start... I have pretty bad luck when it comes to my phone.... luckily Jerry was able to save me from trouble. The first time I came, i broke the front screen for my 3GS, he fixed my screen and also fixed my home button. (Which I have been having trouble with for a while) Second time, I broke my front screen of my 4S, so he help me changed front/back screen to pink! Everyone loved it! Third time, I broke my back screen on my 4S, he changed the back screen in less than 5 min! Fourth time, I left my phone in my jacket and washed it in the laundry... i thought it was the end of my phone.... couple days later I was able to turn on the phone but the phone became really hot... I took it in.. I am not sure what Jerry did to it.. and it started working fine again... (its been about 6 months and still have no problem with the phone) Just like other yelpers described, this is the TRUE GENIUS BAR! I already recommended to all my friends and family, everyone is happy and appreciate my recommendation! read more

Aplus is the most legit place I know of that fixes electronics. I've lived in many different states and have never met a more honest and efficient group of people. They always tell you upfront how much things will cost. I've had many things finished within an hour or two even despite them being super busy. -My wife cracked her iPhone...they fixed it same day at over half the cost Apple wanted to charge us. -Our daughter dropped our iPad and shattered the glass...again, Aplus fixed it same day at over half the cost -My Macbook got soaked from a spilled glass of water. I didn't know any better so I tried to turn it on and fried the circuits. (before you ask, yes I put it in rice...didn't work) I took it to Aplus, they told me the price ahead of time, I came back the next day and they said they did everything they could without completely replacing the inside which would cost more than it was worth...they charged me nothing! That's their policy, if they can't fix it, no charge. I can't count how many times companies haven't been able to fix something and they still charged me for their time. Aplus is above that. They're super honest and friendly. From writing this review I've realized two things: 1. I need to take better care of my electronics cause I've been to Aplus way too many times, and 2. Aplus deserves more than 5 stars. If people complain that their prices are too high, try taking your phone or computer to an Apple store and have them do the same service, then you'll know what high is. If it's $15 for you to buy some parts on eBay and fix your phone yourself, go do it and don't complain. I'm sure you'll be crawling back to Aplus after your shabby home attempt fails to work in the long run. Thanks Aplus for the many many times you've helped me out. You get 5 stars and next time I'm in...which from my track record will probably be soon, I'll bring you another gold star and a scratch and sniff sticker! Thank you thank you!!! read more

I have used Aplus Electronics for two previous cracked screens for my iPhones and decided to bring in my iMac in for a hard drive upgrade. I brought in my iMac around 11:30am on a Monday and had a call at 10am the following morning telling me they were done. When I came into to pick up my mac, they even were nice enough to perform a few little efficiency upgrades to help me with some lingering issues I had created myself. I wouldn't bring my computer into just any place when dealing with a hard drive swap. I trusted these guys to take care of my phone and now can tell you I would trust them with any fix, upgrade or other issue with my Mac products. I will write a separate review for this, but for those of you that are considering a competing store in Solana Beach, please BEWARE. "iRepair Global" / "Repair Haus" is just not worth the headache. You are dealing with important items that really run your life...don't make these decisions lightly. Take your mac products to someone that knows what they are doing and are 100% professional. I would never even consider taking my electronics to any other place...these guys are great. read more

Every single time ive went into this plsce they fix my phone WUICK with a great price and friendly. EVERYTIME

There's something awesome about having a store that acts like your friend. I'd only heard of the store, but walked in with a friend that needed an iPhone screen replaced. They took care of her professionally and reasonably priced, and I got to watch it happen. Since then, I've walked in a couple times with an iPod Touch that simply wouldn't charge. I'm a techie myself, but couldn't figure out the problem, and I'm in the midst of a bunch of non-techies, so there weren't others to ask myself. No biggie to these guys... they just helped diagnose the problem, super chill, and no charge. It's a subtle thing, to be treated so kindly and friendly by a business, for no charge. It's not unheard of, obviously, but it deserves to be celebrated. I like these guys. read more

Jerry is great! Very friendly and he knows his stuff. His prices aren't the cheapest, but he doesn't cut corners. He uses OEM parts unlike many others resulting in the best repair possible. I saw him help a women in front of me and didn't even charge her! I definitely recommend you check out his sweet repair shop. He even has different covers if you want a unique phone other than white or black iPhones! Feel free to offer cash as well since you'll get a little better deal. In my field of Information Technology, I come across all types of people who try to bullshit their way for credibility, but Jerry is the real deal! read more

These guys ROCK!! My iPhone 4S camera was acting bizarre. The shutter was locked closed, it wouldn't focus blah blah blah. I read the reviews on Yelp for these guys and decided that since I was several months away from being able to upgrade without being raped! I figured I'd see what these guys could do. (Apple Genius was not very helpful) I stopped in on the way home from work (about 4:45ish), walked in and told the guy behind the counter my woes. He said yup, it's a bad camera. It took him 4 minutes for him to replace it! BANG! Done! It was $50 and well worth the no waiting and immediate complete service! I can't be without my phone and was glad to pay for on the spot repair. I highly recommend these guys and will take any of my future broken Apple products to them! read more

These guys/gals are awesome! They replaced my HP laptop keyboard. Pricing was almost half of what I was quoted at another electronics store. They ordered the part, let me keep my laptop the few days it took to ship. When I brought it back in to get installed, Jerry took care of it right then and there!! No need to come back and pick up the next day. Love that!! As a side note, I tend to get a little intimidated with techies. I felt totally comfortable asking all my stupid questions that a borderline technophobe can have. Their advice and knowledge is extremely helpful, and they are as real, honest and down to earth as they come! read more

I got my MacBook pro retina screen replaced here because a friend recommended it. They did a great job and super quick (I needed fast turn around because I use it for work). Friendly staff. The most outstanding thing is that the new apple retina display started showing problems a couple weeks afterwards. I took it back in and they replaced it, no charge, no problem! read more

Jerry and his crew gets an A+ for honesty and customer service! We have been taking our apple products (we are APPL whores) here whenever they are in need of anything as small as an iPhone facelift to MAC surgery. The prices are always fair. This is my go-to place for as long as I own my gadgets! I trust them. Tip: they buy iPhones & iPads, and also sell iPhones! read more

I usually take good care of my phone so I don't frequent these kinds of stores a lot, but when I do need it - I will definitely come back to Aplus Electronics again and again!! My power button was stuck on my iPhone 4S for the longest time and honestly I didn't think it could be fixed. I was close to getting a new phone (which was probably going to cost A LOT since I don't want to give up my unlimited data plan so I didn't want to sign a new contract..), but my friend recommended that I go to Aplus to get it checked out. Jerry was super knowledgeable, and told me that it can be fixed. They also changed out my battery, and it was done SO QUICKLY!! I was expecting that it would at least take a day, but I got it back within an hour! It has been several months now after my power button is fixed, and my phone is still working like it's new! If you want reliable, efficient, reasonable, and great customer service, I highly recommend Aplus Electronics!! read more

This is the second time they've saved an iPhone for me! Everyone in here is friendly, and the repair is quick and effective. It's the only place I'll go for repairs! Finding a parking spot is always a bit of a bear though, and takes patience. read more

I've brought a couple of my devices here before to be repaired. Jerry and his people have always been super friendly and fast. However, Sarah helped me out today, and I was blown away with how awesome she was with helping me out. She knew I was under a time crunch, and she replaced my screen in what has to be record time. It's small businesses like this, and employees like her that keep it real in tight communities. read more

Great place fast service good people awesome environment good location definitely recommend this to anybody who is in need of computer or cell repair. Best in the North County read more

What a nice find! I was having a problem with my Nexus 5 phone (SIM card was jammed into the slot and wouldn't come out). TJ explained that they didn't work on the Nexus, because they don't have the parts, but he took a look at my phone anyway. He managed to get the SIM card out, diagnosed a missing/broken spring, and got my phone working. And he didn't even charge me. I will definitely bring any of my other devices here if I need a repair. What a great place. read more

Quick. Easy. Professional. Want it fixed with good people. Here you go. Ill type more because yelp said my review was too short.. Kind of like the wait time here. They are good and quick. Boom. read more

Aplus makes it as easy as it could be. I am so terrible with technology, I have been in Aplus about 3 times now for the same phone. I have cracked the screen twice and cracked the camera lens once. Each visit was remarkably fast, or I timed it just right, walked in and less than 20 out the door with my phone fixed! read more

I manage to drop my phone every once in a while. This last time it broke the mute/volume switches. After a month of enjoying the solitude of a phone that never rings, I decided I really ought to get it fixed. I made an appointment with the Genius Bar, went in and was apparently invisible for 20 minutes, then had them take another 15 minutes to tell me the mute/volume switches were broken. Yes. And? For $160 they'd give me a refurbed phone. Next stop, A Plus Electronics! They were friendly, acknowledged my existence, popped open the phone to show me what was up, and called me back a mere 2 hours later with a ringing phone! Total charge, $60. Great service. Good price. Convenient. A TRIPLE Plus! read more

I have to add my compliments to Jerry's work. I took my iPod in for what I thought was a new screen. He gave me a quote but it seemed he suspected it was something else. Sure enough, when he replaced the screen the problem (a weak screen) was still there. So he did some more troubleshooting and figured out it was the board. He searched around the shop and found a mini he was parting out and swapped that in for me and charged me what he quoted! Remember, this an iPod mini that hasn't been made in maybe five years. He saved the day and was very resourceful in solving the problem. We are very lucky to have this UCSD electrical engineering graduate to help us with all our Apple gear. He is faster and less expensive than the Apple Store and thinks outside the box in problem solving. I just wish he worked on BMW's. read more

Welcome to the True 'GENIUS BAR' Jerry & A Plus Electronics Rules! Thank you for Swift Service that is well worth the price! read more

I highly recommend Aplus. I was quoted a fair price to fix my iPhone screen and a very short wait time. You have a new customer and I will definitely share my experience...thanks again! read more

Every time I've been in here for service I've walked away happy and wishing we had more local small biz like this.

Always great work in a timely fashion. I've been using them for many years and will continue to do so.
