As an avid DIYer (Destroy It Yourself), I made a bad move while replacing the housing on my Nintendo Switch. I accidentally ripped the battery connector off the motherboard. Two of the five pads were also removed in the process. I reached out to a few businesses on Yelp to see if anyone can solder a new battery connector and the amount of people who tried to highball me was ridiculous. They tried to charge me the cost of a whole new motherboard. Gale, from GB Wireless, responded to me with a decent price so I drove over there the next morning they were open. Since it wasn't just a solder service but also him having to figure out where the ripped pads lead, I had to pay a little more but it was worth it. Gale was very friendly and was great at explaining what he would need to do. He gave me the estimate and said it would be ready the next day. A few hours later, I get a call saying he was able to fix it and my Switch is working perfectly. I appreciate service like this. As the customer, it just feels like they go above and beyond. Now I know where to go the next time I destroy something! read more

I was so relieved to speak with the owner who said my phone sounded fixable, which got water spilled on the port and wasn't charging. I was limping along charging it with a wireless charger but was nervous if I didn't get it fixed it would short circuit on me. The owner told me to come in the next day when they open at 10am doe my best chance at same day repair. Said that it was likely a need for me to replace the whole frame or whatever the port is connected to. I took it in and he took a quick look and said it was likely it just needed a little cleaning, no need to replace any part and that it could be done in 15 mins. My jaw dropped. I was so glad I didn't go to a mall kiosk because the last time this happened I had to pay nearly $200 to get a whole part replaced. I'm a happy customer and would come back here for any future phone repair needs! read more

I put this on google too but I just had such a great experience I wanted to put it here as well: Incredibly helpful. I replaced my MacBook battery myself and in doing so broke one of the connectors for the trackpad. I brought it to him knowing only that the trackpad didn't work and he diagnosed the issue and gave me the option to replace the cable or try to repair it. I said to repair it and it worked great and he charged me a very fair price for doing so. I rarely review places but I had such a great experience I just wanted to say something read more

My wife's iPhone XS was totally jacked. Shattered on the back and with white bars running from top to bottom on 1/3 of the screen. Sceeen was replaced with OEM kit and the back was replaced quickly and at lower cost than Apple Store or chain phone repair shacks. Gal indicated that I could probably get away with not replacing the back of the phone but that there could be downside to this COA. Hearing a vendor recommend something that would make them less money is fairly rare and made me trust him more. Would recommend and will go back! read more

GB Wireless is the kind of place you go when you want direct, kind, and honest answers. I bravely traveled across the American Legion/ Cabin John bridge from Bethesda to have my phone looked at and consequently repaired at this shop. The owner, Gal is a professional technician with a very easy manner about him. Bottom line is he quoted me a price, came through as promised and saved me from a refill of my anti-anxiety meds! Being shut down without your cell phone feels much like abandonment. I'd be shocked if your experience was any different than mine. Go see Gal today... no need to shop around because it looks like many others have done that before you and landed at GB Wireless. So trust the reviews :) read more

Dont go to mall repair shop. There young and inexperience. Place is clean and theres a-lot of technical electronic stuff in the back. Then You know it's a real technician playhouse. It is fast, priced right, feel safe (most important) Place. Plenty of parking. Don't have to walk far. Repaired: iphoneX screen Note: I noticed on the receipt it says LED screen, not sure if there's different type of screen i can choose, I never asked or been presented. Don't matter, it works, looks great and I'm happy. read more

Based on the other reviews I took an iPad here for screen replacement (really just the front glass -- the display was not damaged). Dropped it off late on a Friday (this was a couple of months ago) and told him no rush, middle of the next week would be fine. He had it done on time, it seems to look and work as new. The price was reasonable -- far less than taking it to Apple. Prices will vary depending on models -- if mine had been a "bonded" screen (iPad Air and Pro models, and I think older regular iPads), it would cost more because he'd have to replace the actual display along with the glass. I will note that the owner is very casual about his whole business process, but it works because he seems very trustworthy -- we verbally agreed on a schedule and price, and said goodbye. No receipt for leaving it there. I do think drop-off receipts might be a good practice to adopt. read more

Absolutely the Very Best! My Moto G5 cellphone, after just two years, was literally coming apart at the seams as a result of a swollen battery. I took.it to Gal's shop, and Gal opened the housing in my presence, confirmed that the battery needed replacement, ordered the appropriate new battery from a local supplier, and had it fixed the next day. When I picked it up, it absolutely looked like new, with the previously split housing resealed and flat the way it should be. Gal is exceptionally professional, unfailingly responsive to all.questions, and superbly proficient at his craft. His pricing is also unbeatable. I could not be happier with the job he did and recommend him highly. Thank you so much, Gal! read more

This is my go-to place for all things phone related. The owner does a great job replacing phone screens and batteries for both iPhone and Samsung Galaxy. Highly recommend! read more

Honest and helpful! My wife though her laptop was totally broken but they walked her through resolving an error message and she was good to go! Thanks so much and we will be sending you all more of our business! read more

Super professional and quick service for a MacBook battery replacement, accurate quote and no hidden charges. Thanks and will return next time for other repairs! read more

I want to highly endorse this computer repair shop. The screen hinges on my HP Envy snapped off and I thought I would have to buy a new computer. GB Wireless quickly ordered the screen and repaired my laptop within 3 days. They are reasonably priced, honest, and prompt. I encourage others to use them for computer or cell phone repairs and cell phone accessories. read more

Got caught in a downpour while running about a week ago and my "water resistant" phone would no longer charge and eventually wouldn't turn on. I came here bc of the great Yelp and Google reviews and they didn't disappoint. I'd say the repair price seemed high except I don't actually have any frame of reference and it was far cheaper than buying a new phone. All in all I would absolutely return. read more

Wonderful experience! Fixed my precious iPhone 6s Plus shattered screen in about 20 minutes. I've been resisting for years getting a new phone because my awesome dinosaur 6 does everything that I need in a phone (I will not succumbed to the phone shaming by my kids. lol). A huge thank you to all of the previous reviewers who led me to GB Wireless. read more

My "water resistant" iPhone stopped working after it got splashed by a wave at the beach, and Apple could neither fix it nor retrieve my data from it despite 2 different employees trying. But I desperately needed my 150GB worth of photos & videos, so Apple recommended an external data recovery service that was going to cost me a minimum of $600 & up to 20 days to get my data. Then I read the reviews on GB WIreless & it seemed promising, so I thought I'd give this a shot. They got me all my data within 48 hours, and then fixed my corroded motherboard within 48 hours after that, all for less than 1/3rd of the cost of the big data recovery operation that was going to take 5x as long. During the repair, I got regular updates from the owner about the progress they were making on the phone (problems they ruled out, next steps...etc.). Seriously, I'm SO incredibly fortune I found this place, & I highly recommend it for your phone troubles. read more

This guy was amazing.... I walked in with the iPhone 6 an iPhone 11 with disastrous screen breaks, and he fixed it in under 90 minutes. I must add for a very reasonable price let's just say if you try to get phone fixed in North Arlington you looking at $300 for 1 phone, I would know I work in Clarendon! He kept it well under that for both!! I have already recommended him to family/friends and anybody else I see with cracked screen! read more

Good job on a battery replacement for a MacBook. Reasonable price and very fast turnaround

Excellent work, good prices and most importantly a superb diagnostician. Good prices don't matter is they replace the wrong part. There are at least eight places closer to me that I could go, and over the years I have tried at least six of them. I will never take my phone to anyone but GB from now on. The others think they know what the problem is after your first sentence and don't start troubleshooting until the first part doesn't fix it. But they still charge you for the first part. And don't get me started about new problems they created. Like I said, from now on, GB Wireless is the only ones who will touch my phone. read more

I needed a quick turnaround on a cracked pixel phone screen and they delivered! Good price, efficient, and communicative, would gladly go back (but fingers crossed I don't have to!) read more

Great service. Reasonable price for battery replacement. Waited in my car for about an hour and was ready to pick up when I walked back in. Works like a charm! read more

These guys are great. I have three kids with phones, and they have their share of accidents with the devices. GB has replaced screens twice and back glass once. Reasonable prices, and they can turn a job within 24 hours, sometimes even same day. read more

Excellent service. Prompt, courteous and affordable. Would definitely recommend.

Gil is the best! Always able to fix my phone and fair pricing. Have referred many people to him and he always does a fantastic job!

I found this place through a very reliable friend after I contacted him when my phone was dropped. My 25 year old mentee dropped my phone and left my screen severely cracked.... So, I called and spoke to Gal, since he came highly recommended. He was so very nice and professional and quoted me the best price in the area. I dropped off my phone the next day, and he had it all fixed up within an hour! It looks brand new!! I DEFINITELY and HIGHLY recommend using the services here! This process was as easy and painless as it could be, given the circumstance. read more

This is a great place for any phone or computer repair! I needed to get my iPhone screen repaired and they were very prompt in providing a quote and were quick and thorough in the service. Highly recommend! read more

Gal is amazing. Have had numerous screens fixed by him at GB Wireless. All repairs were completed without further issue (minus my clumsiness). But I always know Gal will be ready and willing to repair when the inevitable happens again. Highly recommended! read more

I had a great experience with Gal and GB Wireless. I had issues with the USB-C port on my phone, and he was able to quickly diagnose and fix. Professional, quick, and no attempts to yodel me on unnecessary services. Will be going with this team in the future for any other cell phone needs. read more

This is my 3rd time to GB. My iPhone charging port stopped working. I sometimes fix my phones myself, so I looked it up. It was going to be some 64 steps, plus the cost of the part. I took my phone today to GB and had it back in less than one hour, for little more than I would have paid for the part. I don't know how Gal does it, but he's incredible. Many thanks! read more

Really good. Very friendly and knowledgeable on the phone. The store itself is very clean--this is clearly a professional place. Options presented were clear and reasonably priced. I got a new Apple OEM screen installed on my cracked iPhone XS Max. Work was done flawlessly and is warrantied just in case. Highly recommend! read more

Another satisfied customer - I got a quote through Yelp and Gal responded very quickly (by the way, so did the other shops so I can also recommend Yelp for this service) Good communication, timely repair and my iPad Pro is back to new (a big deal since the replacement for 256GB device is over $700 for a refurbished unit). read more

I had an excellent experience with this business so wanted to recommend them. My elderly mother's iPhone died and the Apple store told us to find a place that can do data recovery. I found this business on Yelp and the reviews I read were spot on. Several hours after dropping it off, after the shop was already closed, I got a call saying that it was repaired and ready for pick up the next day. The battery was replaced and there were no other problems. The price was reasonable and the guy who assisted me was very pleasant and professional. Will definitely go back when I need to have my phone or laptop serviced. read more

Moto X Pure had water damage and although it continued to work, it would not charge. This was 2nd store I tried to get it fixed at. The first was sketchy and repair guy wasn't there but they called him and he reported it couldn't be fixed. So I take it here where I had a good feeling immediately after discussing the issue with Gal. He started troubleshooting it and said it probably would need new USB charging port and quoted me a reasonable fee. A couple hours later I come to pick it up. It wouldn't make calls though but he was patient while we reactivated the phone to test all functions before paying. All around very professional and quality service done quickly! read more

I dropped my iphone X this morning and got a vertical light streak in 2 places. The glass and back of my phone did not have any damage at all, only the LED screen. I contacted GB and they said I could bring it in right away. I drove over and the repair took place while I waited (30 minutes). I also received a lot of explanation about repair options (3 options in total for replacement screens). I really appreciated the detailed consultation and the quick and courteous repair. I had a great experience and would recommend GB to anyone who needed mobile device repair. read more

I shattered my phone screen on Friday and they were able to fix my phone the next day. Super responsive -- I called on Friday and they answered right away and the quote they gave me via phone was the same price I paid. Got it done in 30 minutes and my phone looks good as new. I hope I don't need their services again () but if I do, I will go back in a heartbeat. 10/10 read more

I have a three-generation -old Samsung Galaxy that needed a new battery. GB was the first to respond to my yelp inquiry about fixing the phone. They understandably didn't have the battery in stock, but went ahead and ordered one on the chance I would have them do the repair. I was able to bring the phone in and get on-the-spot service, all for $20 less than their local competitor quoted. Great overall experience! read more

Gal did a wonderful job in saving the data on my iPhone when it was hit by the black screen of death. The charging port would not work and the phone would not come on. Gal determined that the motherboard on the phone was fried. Nevertheless, he was able to recover the key data on the phone for me and transferred it to my new phone at a reasonable price. I am grateful to Gal that he was able to save the important data and move it for me, all within a reasonable time period. I will certainly visit Gal if I ever need any smart phone services again and will highly recommend Gal to anyone with smart phone problems. read more

Gal was awesome! Understood what needed to be repaired and did an excellent job with a super fast turnaround!! My daughter will be thrilled! Thanks so much! Highly recommend. read more

I had a great experience today with GB Wireless after brining in a phone with a cracked screen that was on the verge of being locked out for good.
