This is my second time here. My fiancée has a bit of an iPhone dropping problem. Granted, this time around I broke her screen.... Here is the deal: if you broke your phone screen, you can get it fixed for $50 right away. We have a fancy screen insurance due the nature of frequent glass breakage... and frankly, I think I'm cancelling it. Our phone looks like new and it was ONLY $50! And trust, I've shopped around... all you have to do is drop it off and wait for 30-45 mins.

THIS IS THE PLACE! I punctured my iPhone 8 screen in my purse after I dropped it in the club. (Typical of me) P R I C E Thankfully Yelp has the request a quote feature and I looked at around 15 different businesses in the Studio City/Noho/Downtown area and asked for quotes. APPLANDROID definitely had the lowest estimate of $50, compared to the $70-$120 estimates I got from other businesses. On Yelp, they were also one of the most responsive businesses!! ALEX is the MAN! T I M E The fix was estimated 40 min. at first, but then he came back and altered that estimate to one hour because I have an iPhone 8. The repair only ended up to be 45 min. after all! I ain't mad. I ended up talking to Alex for another 10/15 min afterwards. He's awesome! L O C A T I O N / S H O P Arriving at the shop (on Van Nuys Blvd.), I found that there is only street parking. I quickly found a meter on a side street for $1/hour (which is fine because the repair takes only an hour). The shop itself is very simple and minimal, which is fine! I was the only customer at the time (I came around 10:45am on a Friday). I decided to wait for my repair instead of leaving and coming back...the shop has a comfy couch with a TV (channel is set to Tru TV), as well as outlets. I'm sure they have WiFi as well, but I didn't ask because I was doing work that didn't require internet. Overall I'm thoroughly impressed. Will definitely come here again if I crack my phone. Knock on wood.

After searching around yelp and other repair stores, I was getting very high quotes on replacing the screen on my Samsung. However I came across this place and was able to get the lowest price on a glass replacement. These guys took in my Samsung replaced just the glass and had me out of there same day. The price? It was only $80. I highly recommend these place to everyone. Right on Van Nuys, by the court house!! Thank you.

Only shop i know that do glass repair only on galaxy devices. Most shop replace the whole screen making it way expensive. Brought my cracked galaxy s7 edge here for reasonable price. Great customer service overall!

Can I give them six stars?…read more After a wild boot loop saga began on my phone, I was worried a lot of my data I had amassed would be lost forever. I wasn't sure where to look, and out of the blue, I decided to do some googling and came across this country with, needless to say, a very appealing name! After looking into it, I saw a couple of fantastic things that were green flags immediately: 1. The reviews were glowing (and here's another one - and I never write anything). People seemed to love the company's mission, and I even read that the founder (more in a sec!) created the company just for that reason: he didn't feel people should pay an outrageous amount of money to get their data back. 2. Brian himself. What a guy. He was active on a bunch of forums, and you could tell he put together a small, dedicated team who really valued that people trusted them with their services. And Brian and his team saw me through a bunch of the chaos, answering a bunch of my questions, putting me at ease, and then - through the wonders of the US postal service - procured all of my data again. (I'm backing it up right now - and if you're reading this right now, back up your data too!!) So, yeah. This company is about as legit as it comes, and if you're looking for data recovery in any capacity, you've found the pinnacle in compassionate professionalism right here. Keep on keeping on, team! You're rocking it.

Choose these folks for your data recovery needs! I had two WD (called Western Digital when they…read moredrives were made) HDDs that I needed data from. I was unable to recover data from them in different ways. Disc one was an external drive that would not power on. I tried removing it from its external enclosure and powering it from another, more different enclosure to no avail. The system was indeed down. Disc two was an internal drive that used to be my C drive- my boot drive. I removed it from an old computer after it stopped booting and put it into an external enclosure. Several different computers (Mac & PC) would recognize it sporadically, though none could access the data on it- error codes always came up. Before I removed it, from the old computer, I tried booting from an optical disc and other assorted methods, many other assorted methods... I believe I was very thorough in my efforts. I sent both in and received near 100% recovery. They said it was 100% from one and 99.9% from the other but I am unable to find that .1%. I got all of this for just barely above the $300 price in their name (each, not total). So for about $600 total (including new discs on which my recovered data was transferred and return shipping) I got this incredible service. The total price I paid for both discs at 300DDR is less than I was quoted at several other places for one disc. At each step they were great communicators, from their receipt of the discs to my receipt of the recovered data. I hope I never need their services again but should, I wouldn't hesitate to use them again. I highly recommend them.

ASAP Data Recovery - Thank you for recovering almost all of my lost data on my busted hard drive. You all Rock!

Very happy with the service. This is a small place that gives you a ton of personal attention, 100%…read moreone-on-one, can't beat that Daniel is not only the best and the sweetest, he is likewise very attentive and focused on the task at hand - you are his immediate top priority as you walk in I am a music producer and a songwriter and my Pro Tools files are priceless My faithful 11 year old AIO failed recently after 11 years of flawless performance (March 2026) Stupid and sloppy me, I had stopped backing up my files as of October 2025 (as I realized in hindsight) and I had done a tremendous amount of work in between! I took my AIO, nearly in panic, to the random Data Recovery place nearest me. I was genuinely worried that I might have lost a tremendous amount of a very important body of work The place turned out to be ASAP Data Recovery. Man, what a lucky break Daniel greeted me with a calm voice and a smile, then quickly interviewed me about my issue He quickly figured out what most likely could or would be the problem and gave me a very rough, informal estimate on the cost and the likely outcome of their effort Very importantly, he commited to finding out what had undeniably caused my computer's failure at absolutely no charge to me. His words were, roughly, "once we know exactly what has caused the failure we will get back to you with an estimate AND A LIKELY OUTCOME." The latter was very important to me (as it is to most other prospects, I suppose), because of the importance of the data hoped to be recovered Long story short, I got back EVERY SINGLE FILE I thought I had lost and I couldn't be happier! Price depends, needless to say, on the amount of data recovered, so it's pointless to mention anything regarding that, but suffice to say, I am very happy with the value of data recovery relative to its importance Value-wise, every case is unique, so you make up your own mind after the initial estimate but I am supremely happy with ASAP Data Recovery because I got EVERY SINGLE FILE that I needed and I picked up exactly where I left off once I got the files back All of that said, try to avoid the need for this service! Please, unlike me, back up all of your files religously after every session doing important work! Best of luck to you!
