I've been living on the north shore for years and I'm so disappointed that I never learned about…read moreMac Place LTD sooner. All these years of paying Apple repair prices for maintaining devices are over for me. If you have any Apple device that needs repair, I highly recommend you call Mac Place first. My mid 2011 iMac wouldn't boot up and I thought for sure I was going to throw it out as I figured it would cost more to fix than just getting a new iMAC, but I thought, can't hurt to call someone on the north shore with a good reputation and see if they can fix it. I called Mac Place as they were just half a block away from where I lived and was able to drop it off within 10 mins of calling them. As soon as I dropped it off, the repair person had the screen off and diagnose the issue as a failed power supply within 5 minutes and gave me a quote of 150 to fix it, 85 for the parts and 65 for the labour. I was so surprised that it was a no brainer to go ahead and do it as I was planning on using my iMac as a secondary monitor and this was way cheaper than buying a new Apple monitor. In addition, he found that the left fan was failing and replaced it for just the cost of the part which was $25 and didn't charge me labour for it. I was able to get my iMAC fixed within a couple of hours. I can't think of any other business that operates this efficiently and professionally. I was blown away at the level and quality of service. Watching the technician take apart my iMAC at the speed and care that he did tells me he's been doing this for years and extremely confident at what he does. Don't let the size of these smaller businesses fool you, these are the diamonds in the rough that are hard to find and when you find them, you want to keep them. I highly recommend Mac Place for all of your Apple service repairs. They are indeed awesome!

I went in and both workers were already busy but when I told my story the guy at the desk handed my…read morecomputer to his work mate. He opened the back and cleaned it and some other magic. I was so happy it was fixed. I asked them how much I owed them, they both said "no, no, next time, so I pulled out $20 and said, "let me at least buy you a cup of coffee" and they both replied "no, no, no, next time." Yes, I was happy they fixed my mac but I was blown away they wouldn't take anything for it. This tiny shop with South Beach, Miami window dressing and lights was a lesson in community. 15 Minutes before I was in another Lonsdale store with mac experts. There was a parking spot. I went in and bottom line it would be $169 to do the logistics however, if I needed a new screen it would be $410 more. I left to ponder and drove down Lonsdale and went to the Mac Place. This was my experience and I felt uplifted knowing there were people like these guys doing business in our community. Their generosity inspires me. Thanks Mac Place guys!

Fantastic service and reasonable price…read more I brought in my brother's iPhone while he was in hospital, and it was thoroughly screwed up. The down volume button was not working, which is also required with the power button to turn off. The lightning port was not working, so you could not charge or sync by cable. The ringer toggle switch was frozen in the off position so you could not hear if someone called or texted you. Basically it had experienced severe liquid damage from exceptionally sweet sugary liquid, and all that sugar had turned rock solid. The gentleman at VanCell diagnosed the issue on the spot. He suggested that the best fix was to replace the housing and charging port, which would be about 3 hours labour plus parts. By housing I mean the entire external part of the phone aside from the front glass, containing all the volume, power and ringer buttons. He literally had to open the phone, remove ALL the internal parts, re-install them in a new housing and then re-seal the entire device. That sounded pricey but the phone is relatively new and quite expensive. I was pleasantly surprised when he quoted me a net price of $190 pre-tax. It was closing time but he said he could do it the next day and have it done by afternoon. I picked it up at 4pm the following day and it literally looked and worked like a brand new phone. He had also thrown in a new screen protector to replace the cracked one I brought it in with. I had forgotten to bring the charging cord and block with me to bring to my brother, so I added them as well. The final bill for the parts and labour, screen protector, cord, charging block and tax was $240. That seemed extremely reasonable to me, as I'm an industrial electrician and would be billed out at WAY more than that for 3 hours labour plus materials. I live in New Westminster myself, but if I ever need work on my own phone I can't imagine ever going anywhere else. Everyone needs to know a few good, key trades people in life...a good plumber, electrician and mechanic, and in today's world of $1 to 2k flagship phones, a good smart phone technician. VanCell is that guy.

Geek Workshop Vancouver is an excellent option for…read moreiPhone repair services; they are quick and professional. - The price point are also comparable to other iPhone repair services in Vancouver, or even slightly cheaper. - They claim to use the best quality parts they could find on the market, and I believe it is so base on my experience with Geek Workshop. - You can see your phone being fixed at their workshop, or you can drop it off and pick it up when it's ready. Both times have been effortless to deal with Geek Workshop; their prices are readily available on their website, and billed accordingly. - They emphasize on being environmentally-friendly and have various initiatives for doing so. It seems to be a husband and wife duo running the shop and they're certainly experienced with fixing phones. I was not the only customer at the either times I stopped in to fix my phone. If you need to repair your iPhone in Vancouver, my experience both times at Geek Workshop Vancouver has been stellar. ==== I came by Geek Workshop to pick up a secondary phone from Fedex and decided to try their iPhone repair services as well. For this instance, I waited in the store and they managed to replace the iPhone screen immediately. The repair was completed in under 30 minutes on the spot and the screen worked better than the screen I formerly had from a repair at JP Mobile in Richmond. JP Mobile screen worked reasonably well but the key strokes were not always accurate. The screen replaced at Geek Workshop worked like new and had accurate touch pad key stroke. They ensured to check and verify the functionality of everything before handing over the phone and then accepting payment (which they accept credit card). Everything about the interaction was effortless. The person at the front end was very friendly and knowledgeable. The work space in the back of the store was clean and properly appointed with various tools. (They even had some machine to the left enclosed in a plastic separation probably for other more complex repairs?) For the screen replacement, I was very happy with the outcome and extended the life of the phone a couple more weeks. ==== I also came by a second time for a different repair and it was equally efficient and effortless. I asked to prepay so I could go for a walk and pick up the phone when it's done. (Usually they insist you pay after it's repaired, but I knew there'd be no problem with their repairs.) When I came back less than 45 minutes later, the phone was all ready and working like new. They also were kind enough to give a free screen protector. (But evidently this may not be the norm... still their repair prices are probably on par or cheaper than most other iPhone repairs in Vancouver or Richmond.) ==== Overall, the experience with Geek Workshop has been very pleasant. - The price is clearly listed on their website so there's no variance and it's honest. (The prices are also VERY competitive (cheaper than JP Phone Repair in Richmond. They also do diagnostics if you need to find the problem with your phone.) - They have a dedicated and clean workspace to repair phones. I made a note of this so you don't need to worry about whether the workspace is dusty or not properly cleaned (such as food) when they open your phone. (In contrast, my repair at JP Phone Repair was honestly slightly haphazard work space; he was fixing my phone on the go while walking around the shop with a few things to manage. It worked out well ultimately, which is what matters, but having a clean workspace is important to avoid dust or debris getting inside your phones when it's open.) At Geek Workshop, one person seem to deal with customers, while another person does the phone repairs. - The phone repairs were always done quickly and without any incidents. They make sure to check your phone is fully functional before completing the repair or billing. - The couple are friendly and easy to deal with. Seems like an honest iPhone repair service; there are also no unscrupulous charges or surprises, in my experience at least. (In contrast, not exactly unscrupulous but at JP there wasn't any explicitly listed price-chart and they more or less quoted you various prices.)

Having NOW just read darren lindwall of bk iphone repairs response to my accurate and factual…read morereview, which I posted a week after he scammed me in mid-October 2022, I am laughing with pity for his attempts to cover up his intentional scam. So, darren lindwall agreed to install a Desay brand battery into my iPhone, but instead, he installed a cheaper poor quality Ampsentrix battery and lied to me by saying that Ampsentrix was owned by Desay. ( which they are not ) And prior to the replacement he chose to send me text images of the replacement battery, with the top part of the battery where the name of the battery is out of the image ( see photos attached ) All of the defaming statements he has made about me in his response to my initial accurate Yelp review, dated October 2022, of his business are a contrived delusion fabricated in the ill world he lives in. There are also multiple further untruths in darren lindwall's response to my accurate Yelp review of his business. 1. I did NOT contact him repeatedly to ask for a lesser price on the replacement and I actually only asked him on the phone ONCE if that was feasible 2. I did not get any doors slammed in my face by alternate mobile repair companies, and I never have in my life had any company close or " slam " a door on my face. Nor did I insinuate or tell darren that. And darren's fabrication of that untruth is his attempt to defame me about that make me laugh. 3. I did not present any " odd behaviour, or body language " rather darren's body language when I watched him do the work was very high strung, odd and uncharacteristic of a reliable business owner And Darren did not answer any of my phone calls or emails after he scammed me. ( see attached photos ) I recently filed a lawsuit against darren lindwall and his business bk iphone repairs for his deception and manipulation about the work he agreed to do. The lawsuit against darren was free of cost to me, it did not cost me one penny! And through that lawsuit, he FINALLY agreed to reimburse me the full cost that I paid him for the cheap battery he deceived me into believing was the battery that I asked for, and he paid me for the cost of the Desay brand replacement battery that he told me he would use.

I managed to smash the glass of my OnePlus One screen and render the touchscreen digitizer useless. It should have been in a case but those aren't too easy to find locally. As I'm on a small fixed income I ordered the broken parts from China for $25. It took forever. Unfortunately the phone glass is fused with glue to the LCD so it is very difficult to replace one without damaging the other. Nevertheless, Sukhy gave it a shot, despite having never worked on this model of phone before. Prior to going to BeyondScreen I went to another repair place that flat out refused.. And I used to work there! Even though we couldn't use the old LCD, he managed to get a replacement screen in much faster than if I'd ordered it from China, and knocked a big chunk off my bill despite all the extra work he'd done, and having had to learn a whole new phone. It looks and works great and I am very satisfied.
