Brought in my iPhone SE3 for a battery replacement. About an hour turnaround, $83. Nice, right?.... Got the phone back with the home button screwed up! They could not fix it, and would not take ownership of the issue. Kept saying that they never touched that part of the phone; must be water damage; just a coincidence; anything other than 'it was damaged while under their control'. read more

I won't ever go back! Not happy with their customer service, I spoken to very condescendingly... The turn around time was ridiculously long with a very lame excuse. Never again! read more

Not too bad service here. Had to bring my daughters phone in to get a screen repaired. She was pretty rough on it so it was completely cracked. They have upfront pricing so you know exactly how much you will be paying before tax. I came in on a Monday evening and drop the phone off. They did not have any screens in stock so they said they would have to order it and they would call me when it was done. By Wednesday I received the call that was finished picked up. Everything worked properly. It was 167 after taxes, and it came with a six month warranty, but it does not cover accidents only if anything malfunctions after it was repaired. read more

PS5 HDMI Port Replacement. Gadget Guru Service for me was top tier. Same Day Service. I only waited about a Hour and a half. Even Sony doesn't offer that. Value Is definitely unmatched. Ps. If issue is Motherboard, it helps if you just disassemble the console yourself . But definitely make this your repair shop read more

They were able to fix my laptop in record time! Very pleasant to deal with. I would not hesitate to call them in the future. read more

I have used Gadget Guru a few times and not just got repairing phone screens. They are reliable, quick, and the price is not bad. If you want to breath life back into any of your electronics i recommend giving them a chance. read more

RIP OFF ALERT...THEY'RE CROOKS AND DESPERATE FOR MONEY! Called prior to taking my husband's cellphone to them for a possible repair. The only problem with my husband's phone is that it would not charge. A guy quoted my husband a $20 non-refundable fee to open the phone and take a look inside. When I got there a guy name Dorian waited on me. Dorian explained that if the phone needed a repair, I would be charged $100. If the port needed to be replaced it would then be $140. The $20 non-refundable would apply to the cost. I get home and only live maybe ten minutes away from the store. My husband said Gadget Guru called and said it would be $140 to fix it ( no way they opened the phone up to look at it). The guy also told my husband he suspects water damage and that would cost more. My husband and I went down to pick the phone back up and declined the repair. My husband told the guy that waited on us that he could tell the phone had never been opened for them to take a look at it. The guy couldn't even keep a straight face when trying to lie. They're liars and complete rip-offs. The store is a junky mess in the front. I hope they go out of business for what they have done to people. read more

The Gadget Guru folks did an excellent job repairing my HP printer after another "repair person," failed to fix it, even making it worse. Gadget Guru diagnosed the problem and got the printer back to me quickly. On top of that, when I couldn't get the printer driver to sync up, I brought my laptop and the printer back, and they took their time and got it working. I want to thank them for their diligence and highly recommend them. read more

Great place! They're really helpful, knowledgable, and reasonably priced. I've taken lots of things to be repaired there.

Ha Your business takes upfront money to even look at a item. When picking up repaired item, more $ is owed. I stopped by after a week. &it wasn't ready. The first time the item was picked up = it didn't work. While I appreciate the10 minutes the employee took ( trying to make it work, while in my vehicle) She couldn't get it to work. I was told to leave it to be looked at. After COVID happened, I was reluctant to go out . I then received the blunt call, the item would be thrown out. If not picked up immediately. When I returned to pick up the item =it didn't work. And No one should have to pay for services not provided. I was asked to sign & was very pissed off! FYI ~ I still have the less then pleasant voice Mail . And the item was repaired within a week . Also chatted with others that have had problems with the repair shop. From signing on a computer password protected, to a broken phone. Good luck read more

The lied to me!!! I brought in a camcorder for them to fix and when they said they couldn't, they offered to digitize my tapes. After 10 days, they told me they couldn't and gave everything back to me. I then asked for my deposit back and they refused. Now, getting my credit card company involved. If the employees are smart, they should look for another job because I really hope they go out of business. read more

The work was much appreciated. I had a microsoft surface which had a badly damaged screen and fractured frame. I was given a fair assessment and the price for the job seemed worth it. I am very much satisfied. read more

WOULD NOT RECOMMEND ~ They clearly do not care about their customers. My overall experience was being lied to and scammed out of $160. ~ ***** 1st of all let me say I am not the person to write a review. I have never written a review before this one****** I went in to have my volume button fixed because I dropped my phone and the button would not raise the volume on my brand new iphone se 2020. When I got it back the silencing switch did not work and I could hear jiggling on the inside. They took it back and said they didn't glue the battery down correctly and that was causing the rattling. Even more issues occurred with my phone after this. At this point I had been there SIX TIMES and just wanted a refund. I was promised a refund multiple times by two people under the conditions that they put the old part back into my phone. I asked for that deal. They said they could do that, but were "required to take a look at the inside of the phone to see what they did wrong first" I made it clear multiple times that they could do that, but I did not want them to try to repair it again as I had been promised it was fixed many times before and more issues ensued. They agreed, but they called me saying they 'fixed it' and they would not be giving me a refund. When I asked to speak to the owner I was told he was too busy and they referred me to a basic store email and said he could get back to me by NEXT WEEK. They would not provide me with a direct phone or email to contact him with and refused to even tell me his first name!! I am very disappointed with this company. They clearly do not care about their customers. My overall experience was being lied to and scammed out of $160. UPDATE - its been over a week and no one has responded to my email. (I'd give 0 stars if I could) read more

On Saturday I Brought in my Moms IPhone 8 Since she dropped it on the Ground cracking the Screen! I work For Bestbuy/GeekSquad and For then to Repair it woulda been $140 I contacted Gadget Guru thru Email and they said it be $100 and being that my Store Sends people to Them all the Time gave me Discount which I loved! I was Sold on it! Although I've heard many stories about them and the Reviews they Did an Excellent job and her Phone has had No Issues! Anna The Manager was very Respectful and honest! Only took them about an Hour to Finish. read more

What started as a $70 repair became a $130 loss. Check my other reviews, I mostly post good things about businesses. But I have to just say that this place was really disorganized. They didn't even take the time to let me know that my system was repaired and ready for pick up. When I got home, I noticed that they had not returned my game. I offered them an opportunity to fix the situation, but the manager, Paul, didn't seem to care about customer service. Buyer beware. read more

Just got off the phone after asking about a replacement headphone assembly and a new battery. The estimate? $80.00 far the assembly I can get off Amazon for $4.95 to $10 and the battery for $14.95. Yes a workman is worthy of his wages but a 400% markup? I think not, thanks but no thanks, I've placed my Amazon order and will do it myself. read more

Gadget Guru in Owings Mills fixed my 6-year-old MacBookPro laptop within 24 hours, a day ahead of when they promised it! It needed a new battery. They have been a pleasure to deal with. read more

We took in a kindle that wasn't working and a android phone. They charged us $50 to tell us that the kindle needed a factory reset: I have to wonder did they really try to fix the Kindle. They charged us $20 to fix the cell phone that needed a battery for $120. They didn't resolved any of the issues and we left paying $70 for nothing. I would recommend going somewhere else read more

No crying over spilled milk here! I took my wet laptop in, and they restored it perfectly and within 24 hours! The price was right too and a great value for a fully restored laptop! read more

This place sucked. I took my Samsung Tab A to this placed for the second time to replace the charging port. They charged me $80 the first time and then $60 the second time. Thinking they were doing me a favor. I asked them to check my back camera when I dropped it off and again when they called me. I was informed by some tall guy that there was no mention of looking at the camera. Bull shit..I addressed this issue twice. He told me that the owner worked on my tablet. Well he needsl to go back to school. You are not getting any more of my business. You do the bare minimum, which is -0....nothing. If I could give you no stars I would. read more

Stopped by on Saturday for an iphone 5s fix. My iphone 5s has a cracked screen and bent frame. The guru was able to replace the crack screen and help unbend the frame for me. My phone is working perfectly again. read more

I totally recommend...they fixed my PS4 within a day. I went to the geek squad they said it would take 4 to 6 weeks Skip the squad and just go straight to them read more

THIS SERVICE IS TERRIBLE! My iPad had a crack in it do we went to gadget guru to get it fixed. They did replace it with a new screen but I couldn't tap the top of my iPad and then when I turned it I couldn't touch the bottom. The games also PLAYED THEMSLEVES! Then it restarted its self, and it's on the screen were you log in but you can't flip the screen and I need to touch the top! THANKS A LOT GADGET GURU! read more

I also had a broken charging port and I also received NO phone calls from them regarding the situation. After 5 days since ordering the part, I had heard nothing, so I called them. The man said it was to be arriving that day, but was "being delivered to the other store." Since when does FedEx take 5 days anyway? He also kept saying it was a battery, when I clearly needed a new charging port. I went up there Saturday after receiving no word about whether they got it from the other store, and they said "Yes, it's here, we'll call you in about an hour when it's done." Well, 2 hours later, no call. So I go back, and he says the part was defective. Says they'll overnight another part to be there on Monday, and they'll call me when it's in. Sounds like it probably was a battery after all and the whole visit was a waste of my time. It is now Thursday, and NO CALL. I called again to find out where it is and he says it "should be here today." When I told him it was supposed to be overnighted on Saturday to be there Monday, he had nothing to say. Literally, no apology or anything. I believe whenever you call to check on a part since they don't call you, you're told "tracking shows it will be here today." I truly believe they are told to tell customers this. This is the worst service. 11 days later and no solution. I honestly don't understand how a business can just not contact their customers multiple times, as promised. I already paid for this piece, and am afraid it will never be available or installed. read more

Go elsewhere!!! Fixed the charging port for 130 bucks for it only to stop working shortly thereafter. Waste of money.

Customer service is NOT a priority. I had a 95% functional 4s with minor water damage. Their diagnosis process somehow locked my iPhone, impossible to unlock, for 43 YEARS, yes YEARS, leaving a restore to default as my only option - basically everything lost (yes I'm dumb for not backing it up). Offered ZERO apology, placed blame on me for having "special security software" - not the case. I am a junior iOS developer and have a decent amount of knowledge of how Apple devices work; they somehow triggered the deactivate process over and over and over again to rack up 23 million minutes of deactivation time-out. For some reason, I thought that I would come back to give them another shot...clean a used iPhone 5 that I had to buy because my 4s was unusable. Wanted to charge $50 for a cleaning, I asked for a discount because of the botch on my 4S, they told me to take a hike. Worst of all, the manager who kept being so rude wouldn't do it to my face, he had his poor helper relay messages back and forth from behind a wall 5 feet away. Checking out ifix2go at the Towson mall: http://ifix2go.com/ - they seem a lot nicer; haven't been there yet. read more

I came here hoping they could fix my laptop. I paid a $50 diagnostic fee and after waiting over a week for "diagnostics" they tell me that they need to replace the screen for an extra $350. That was not only a wrong diagnosis but they also caused damage to my already fully functional pc screen. I DO NOT recommend coming here if you want your device to be fixed. If you need your device repaired I would definitely recommend "Doctor Polos Computers" and it is about a 5-minute drive from here. https://www.yelp.com/biz_redir?url=http%3A%2F%2Fbaltimorecomputerrepaire.com&website_link_type=website&src_bizid=QdU_vgEZoo8AhaDklfXJlg&cachebuster=1536700646&s=e7d85dad0225aea94ab32bff664f01f945caab9233f05b1eb885c07308f81175 read more

Please avoid Gadget Guru in Owings Mills. I went to get a price on replacing the back glass on a phone. The first time I was there, they told me $60. The second time, when I was going to put down a down payment, they told me $120 and I walked out. Stupidly, I went back and they wrote up the order for $100 (???) and I put down a down payment. They told me that they would call me when the part came in, about 2 days. 6 days later I called them and they told me it had just come in that morning and had been backordered. (yeah, right???) I picked up the "fixed" phone yesterday. I noticed that the back was very rough on the outside but had a child in the car and didn't want to make her wait anymore. I picked the phone up today and noticed that there were lots of cracks on the back - mostly going to the rough spots on the outside. I brought the phone in and, long story short, all four people in the store are refusing to fix it. They accused me of dropping it and they disregarded the rough parts on the outside. I do not like being called a liar. They said the parts they ordered were 3rd party, not original. I wish I knew that before I ordered - ask. That might be way they were bad quality! read more

Avoid Gadget Guru. I emailed Paul Choi, Regional Manager on the 23rd about a phone screen repair and after a delay he got back to me and asked me to bring in the phone so they could order the part. I did that the next day & paid the deposit. I was told the part would be in and the repair would be done w/in 2-3 days. Each time I called I was told the part was on the way. I made it clear all along that I had a hard deadline of the 4th for the repair. GG never got the part & then, even after I emailed Paul, never refunded my deposit. I called them & now I'm told I have to drive back there to get my deposit back. Paul seems to be avoiding my calls and hasn't returned email. Gadget Guru is a complete waste of time w/poor customer service. read more

Said they could install a battery in my I Phone while I waited. I had them confirm this twice before i made the drive, they even checked to be sure they had the parts. After driving there I was told could not do the repair at that time, they would call me next week when the tech was in. What a waste of my time. I will never go back read more

Anytime a business promises to call you within a prescribed time period and they don't, then that is a sign of a lack of respect for the customer. How hard can it be to pick up the phone and call your customer and let him know that the service that they wanted cannot be performed? There is absolutely no reason why you cannot pick up the phone or pull it out of your pocket unless you are paralyzed.If I could give the Owings Mills location of "Gadget Guru" zero stars, then I would. There may be computer geeks located here but it is obvious to me that they lack basic customer service skills. I cannot endorse supporting Gadget Guru at the Owings Mills location. Do not patronize this business unless you like to give away $50.00 for a bogus diagnostic fee.Oh yeah and by the way "Guru", there was nothing wrong with my motherboard! read more

Wife dropped her iPhone 4 ... Screen cracked pretty bad ... Since the iPhone 6 is coming soon decided to fix rather than replace with a iPhone 5 ...Someone suggested a place in Towson ... We live in owings mills ... Found this spot ... Down the street ...Saw a horrible review ... Figured it couldn't be that bad ... Anyway ... Dropped off phone they called an hour later ... Picked it up ... And phone is as good as new ... Plus a 90 day warranty ...great friendly service ... read more

I have been to this location about a month ago for a broken iPhone screen and everything went well. Over this past weekend I took my sons cell phone back for repair and they fixed the repair, unfortunately it was not under warranty due to broken screen. Gadget Guru was kind enough to cut the price of repair in half and threw in a screen protector, which they did not need to do. After that experience, I took our MacBook Pro for repair and it took them all of 3 hours to fix at a very reasonable cost. I usually don't write reviews but I thought this was well deserved. Thank You Gadget Guru!!! read more

I was pleasantly surprised by the computer repair skills of the technician Alex (and his associates too) and an honest appraisal of the situation at hand. I was trying to replace the internal mvne m.2 SSD in my HP Spectre laptop with a higher capacity one and in the process of opening the underside cover I ran into some problem--one of the screws would not turn and appeared to have been overly tightened at the factory. My efforts to get it out resulted in screw head being damaged. I took it to this Gadget Guru location in Columbia after an unsuccessful try by Best Buy Geek Squad. Alex said he will try to get it out without damaging the cover but with no guarantee. He called a couple of hours later and said he wasn't successful. We both agreed that a visit to HP authorized service center at Micro Center (in Towson and Rockville) might be worthwhile. The tech at Micro Center in Towson took a cursory look at the problem and declared he can't do it and it need to be sent back to HP. I brought it back to Gadget Guru and Alex agreed to take another shot at it and said there might be some damage to the back cover, and he will try to keep it to a minimum. I agreed. Next day he called and said he was able to do it and there are some minor scratches and may be some warping of the back cover. Long story short--Alex was able to accomplish what Geek Squad and HP authorized service center tech at Micro Center could not! His honesty and skill set are both highly praiseworthy. The fee for this service was quite reasonable considering the time he had spent on the problem and fixing it. I will be returning here for all my future electronics repair needs. Thanks Alex. read more

Really over-priced but they are speedy at fixing cracked phones. Nice people too. My warning is the screen they use to fix it leaves a very yellow and grainy tint over your screen. Colors are all screwed up and makes the image look like it was taken on an Android. read more

Fixed my computer in just a day, and they even reinstalled a game I'd been having trouble getting onto it. My computer is very heavy, and they helped me carry it out to the car too. This place is very helpful. I will be coming back if I have anymore issues. read more

Even with only 1 customer in the store, I waited for over 30 minutes for someone to help me. They were unable to help me so they wanted to take the machine for "diagnostics" which would take 3-4 days and cost $20 at least. This place is terrible read more
