Avoid these idiots at all cost! If I could give a negative star, I would, but Yelp doesn't work that way. This is a long overdue review that needs to be written.
A couple of months back, after being referred by my cousin, I came here because my son cracked his iPod touch's screen. I asked them how long it would take and was told that it would take about an hour. So fine, I took my son to neighboring stores like Academy, Target, and Walmart to look for Texans gears and killed more than an hour and a half time to give them extra time to finish. When I came back to pickup the device, I was told that they hadn't had a chance to start on it. At the same time when I walked in, I can clearly hear them being loud and having unwork related fun in the back. Anyhow, I sat around for another two hours with my son while they worked on it. When they finished, they handed the device to me and charged me $140. My son then noticed that the glass was not tight against the case. When I asked them about it, they said that maybe my son dropped the iPod in a way where the frame is bent and so, they couldn't do anything to secure it tightly. Then, I asked them why they didn't bring this up prior to making the repair, to which they answered that they did tell me prior. Yeah right, just like how you handed me the device back without making me aware of the screen not being secured tightly and just asked for payment, right? To make a long story short of this day, I told them that I was not happy with the service I had received. Then, one of the guys said, "Well, I can buy this device back for $100." To which, it took a lot of composure to not say "WTF, are you kidding me?!!!" Instead, with my son's presence, I've reduced that statement to "You charged me $140 to do an unsatisfactory job, and then decide to buy my device for $100? That must be a real nice profit for you." In the end, I kept the iPod touch and they ended up providing a 15% discount and a free screen protector, which they placed on real quick on my son's device with a bunch of air bubbles. After this nightmare, I vowed never to return here again. Or would I?......
A few days ago, my Samsung Galaxy S3 decided it would switch on and off erradically and get stuck at the Samsung logo screen. After doing much research online through forums, it appeared to be a software issue after the new Android 4.3 update, or a power button failure issue. I had gone to another "cell phone repair shop" initially and was told that there was nothing they can do. So, in desperation, I stopped by these guys again. I explained the whole ordeal to him, along with my findings. However, he told me that my phone is as good as dead and there is nothing he can do with it. When I re-emphasized the solutions that I found online, he then stated "I can take a look and be glad to take your $29.99 for looking at it, but I doubt it'll do anything." So I just left. I got tired ot dealing with idiots. So I went home, researched further via Youtube, Google, and tech forums. And after a long day of trial and error, resuscitated my phone back to work.
What a bunch of crooks. "Dr. Cell Phone" my @$$. The only cell phone repair they are capable of is screen repair, oh wait, they can't do that either as they did with my son's iPod! They should rename themselves "Dr. Ripoff" read more
