I took my Apple Watch in to get fixed in early December. It needed to be sent to Richmond because…read morethat's apparently where they have the sautering tool needed to fix the batter. By December 15, I'd received a call that the watch was fixed, but then they backtracked and said it was still losing its charge. From that point on, it was radio silence; I called them on 12/22 and12/31, each time without them being able to tell me what was wrong with the device. By 1/30, they told me that the device was unfixable and then would send it back to Charlottesville to get it to me. And again, I heard nothing. When I called on 2/10, I finally spoke with someone helpful who'd admitted that the watch had been lost in the mail. I asked that person what could be done, and they offered to see if the company could help me replace the device; I asked to get that in writing in the form of an email, which they obliged and sent on 2/11. I've now responded to that email two times (on 2/14 and 2/17) hoping to move forward with the replacement of my device or some kind of a refund, and no one has answered. Fruit Fixed showed embarrassingly poor communication and bad customer service. I have no idea how their rating is so high - I feel like many of these reviews can't be legitimate. I now have to purchase a new watch and can't use my previous device as a trade-in because they have refused to help me when it was lost in transit between their two stores, and when apparently no one who worked there even realized it was gone. Pathetic.

UPDATE: Wow. Their response to this issue admits they broke the phone and tried to get me to pay…read moreto fix their mistake. This is a clear pattern. I urge everyone to look at Fixed Fruit's responses to the reviews. In each case, they twist the fact to place blame on the customer. This is an untrustworthy business that is unwilling to stand behind their work. Strong recommendation to avoid! ORIGINAL REVIEW: I visited Fixed Fruit for a simple battery replacement on my iPhone, but the experience left a lot to be desired. During the repair, the technician damaged my phone's screen. Although they admitted responsibility, they still tried to charge me for a new screen instead of fixing their mistake at no cost. While the staff were not rude, their unwillingness to correct an error they caused raises concerns about the ethics of this business. If you're looking for a repair shop that you can trust, look elsewhere

Decent business. The people are friendly. I bought a pair of their XPG headphones for around $60…read more After using them for maybe 8 months the plastic arch that connects the two earpieces spontaneously cracked. They still work I guess but the right ear is annoyingly loose. When I called to ask if I could get a refund or a replacement, they didn't believe me when I said the headphones cracked on their own. I can understand some skepticism about how the headphones broke, especially given the reputation of gamers and their anger issues, but it felt bad to be mistrusted like that. The employee said he couldn't help me and I needed to speak with the company who made the headphones. THANKS

We always find what we need at Batteries Plus in Charlottesville, Va., and the staff is so helpful…read more Recently, In May, I was buying batteries (on a good sale) and having trouble with my cell phone - a problem that even Tracfone was unable to solve. I asked THOMAS about it and he correctly solved the problem in just a few minutes by telling me what to do - without charging me for the advice (!).. As soon as I got home, I followed his advice - and guess what - my Tracfone cell phone is now working perfectly and doing what I want it to do. THOMAS was a lifesaver!! Thank you so much - and also for being there when we need good batteries. Annie and Mack Rowe, Madison, Va.

They were also very clear and upfront about the price estimate, which i appreciated very much.
