After a terrible experience at the Verizon store on Wilshire and 25th Street, where I felt they…read morewere trying to scam me, coming to this location was like night and day. Rochelle is an exceptional employee--honest, knowledgeable, and incredibly helpful. She really knows her stuff, and I felt I could completely trust her throughout the entire process. She spent a long time helping us transfer three phone numbers from AT&T, add a new line, and upgrade our phones. I also came back a couple of times afterward with additional questions and service requests, and she handled everything with patience, professionalism, and complete transparency. Asher also helped me on one occasion, and he was excellent as well. Both employees made the experience smooth and stress-free. My overall experience with Verizon has been excellent--far better than what I experienced with AT&T. Their customer support has continued to impress me long after I left the store. I highly recommend this Verizon location, Verizon should recognize Rochelle's outstanding work--she has absolutely earned a promotion. Employees like her are the reason customers stay loyal.

I walked into this store expecting nothing, really I was stretching for a limb to the universe to inevitably take it hard and store my karma for a solid later on in life. When I walked in, I saw this guy Ash just tapping his iPad like a cyborg from the future. Compulsive, in tune, and filled with the hyper-focus for a surgeon's stich. I knew right away he was as crazy as I was in the best way ever. I legit stopped caring about my phone, just so interested in how he was about to approach my situation. He kept telling me, "I'll be with you in a second buddy" as he saved this father and daughter a TON OF MONEY on their bill. Finally I was up. I told him my situation and honestly I don't know what he did. He kept bashing on that iPad like he was breaking the code in a sci-fi movie and he just.... well I don't know, broke the code. I saw him 19 minutes before they closed and he handed me a brand new iPhone 17pro about 11 minutes before they closed. I'm paying a tiny bit more per month but I have another line now? I don't know, I just don't know. This dude Ash should be awarded a medal of honor from Verizon, a hall pass in purgatory, and a solid cheers from God. Cheers to him and this store.

TLDR: Kevin, Ruben, & Meg set the standard to be beat in customer service and professionalism…read more After being with them for 30 years for cellular, I had decided months ago to leave AT&T. I went in late on a Friday afternoon on a beautiful day, thinking it'd be quick and easy. It was not quick. It was, however, exceptional. I was greeted immediately by Ruben, who let me know from the get that it'd be about 20 minutes before someone could sit with me. He asked what I was in for and got me on the list. He looped back prepping me for what I needed so I could be ready when it was time. I logged into my ATT account and took screenshots of my statements, account, and plan details. Kevin was the guy assigned to work with me. I was clear about what I wanted, he was clear about T-Mobiles offering, and we were off to a good start. But then, we were met with challenges at every step of the way. AT&T did not make it easy for me to transfer. From getting the release PIN to porting the account over, we ran into hiccups and delays. Throughout the ENTIRE process Kevin was calm, patient, and unphased. A true professional. Ruben stopped in from time to time to check on us both as we progressed. I was astounded by Ruben's attentiveness on the floor, checking in with customers in progress as well as those walking in the door, consistently until his shift ended. They had a full house, and no one sat for more than two minutes without a hello. In the final stretch, I asked Kevin when his shift was up, He assured me we'd be done before the top of the hour. Turned out, AT&T had given me an account number that did not match on the back end in order to port the number over to the new carrier. We took it straight off of my invoice, it failed, Kevin and I contacted AT&T via the app to confirm, they confirmed, Kevin had to escalate up through T-Mobile to three-way patch a conversation with AT&T to get the correct account number - which was not, by the way, the account number I had on my invoice OR in the app. (SHADY!) All to say, Kevin's patience and professionalism all the way through our THREE HOURS together was unwavering. I walked in nervous about a carrier switch, I walked out converted to T-Mobile without one single regret. On the way out, I was able to thank Meg who was on the floor and had supported us through the entire fiasco. Wow, T-Mobile, if Kevin, Ruben, & Meg represent the quality you offer in service, they are bar none. Thank you to the T-Mobile Santa Monica team for one hell of a first experience with a new carrier that has me never looking back.

As soon as I walk in through the door, I see Cesar pop up to greet me. Asked me how he could help. I really think work gets in the way of my Yelp fun and told him I would like to see if he had any more of the Tuesday giveaway items. He did not even flinch and asked me how many would I like to get. That took me back for a second but I asked for three. One for my sister, my brother, and best friend. For all the backyard BBQ and get togethers. This is going to be a useful tool with a bottle opener on the other end. Thanks Cesar for a great conversation and your leadership.

I went in to trade in my old phone for an upgrade and was told I could keep my old phone, get a free new phone line, and still receive the full trade-in discount. I knew that wasn't how Verizon's promotions worked, and it immediately raised red flags. It felt like they were trying to trick me into adding services I didn't need. The manager, Mark, was helping me along with a younger employee he appeared to be training. From my perspective, it looked like he was teaching her the same misleading sales tactics. I walked out because I wasn't going to let myself get scammed. I ended up going to the Verizon store on Main Street instead, and the difference was night and day. They were honest, transparent, and confirmed that what I had been told at this location was inaccurate. Based on my experience, I would not recommend this store. If you shop here, double-check everything you're told before agreeing to anything.

As a Macbook and iPhone owner, I follow Apple stuff online, but periodically enjoy going into one of the stores to see stuff in person. Even when I'm not intending on buying. Currently I have a iPhone 16 Pro Max. I bought it maybe three months before the iPhone 17 came out. I was checking out the specs and differences and chatted with one of the staff members on duty. And he actualy discouraged me from upgrading as new versions were on the horizon in the near future. I appreciate folks that give you the quick and dirty about merchandise. It made me want to visit this store again. Lack of upselling = good value in my opinion. I would give this store a five but my policy is to never give chains more than a four. So you'll have to live with that.
