Communication with me asking if I'm showing up so I know the quote he quoted me was repeated to him multiple times via phone call.
Shabana I.

I called this guy last week and he gave me a quote of 120 and then when I came to fix the phone he changed his price to 140. Wasted my time. I would definitely avoid a place like this he's a Scam and can't even hold his end of the deal. It's about the $20 is the principle He informed me 120, I actually drove down there and for him to not honor it shows what kind of person I would have to deal with if the phone afterward has issues. I recommend sycamore phone repaint it' was 10$ more but his service is excellent. The owner messaged me after I posted the review. telling me my character was out of pocket because I wrote a honest review about his business. I don't have any other phones. would have to be very stupid to show up with a different phone despite of a quote for a different phone. it just shows that he just needs an excuse. It's the month of Ramadan so I don't know why I would lie about some thing so silly. I called for an iPhone promax and he quoted me for an iPhone promax his words"" which screen would you prefer, there are two types of screens and I told him I prefer the cheapest one since this phone has been broken multiple times in the past so there's no point of me paying for some thing that would be expensive because I know it will get broken again, he then responded back saying that OK then 120 instead of 180 since you don't care for the quality of the screen and I said OK perfect and I said is that including taxes or if you pay cash it's 120 if you don't pay cash then there will be tax"". I don't understand business owners it's like they wanna be sneaky but then they get pissed off when customers leave and decide to voice their opinion. This business owner even messaged me after asking me if I was showing up and I had told him I will show up tomorrow attached are photos

I accidentally dropped my work iPad face down on some large rocks during my shift. Glass was everywhere and I desperately needed a fix within the next shift. Other places told me it would take at least a whole day for me to receive it back. Gorilla Fix did it within a few hours! This is actually my second time doing business with them. My first service was for my personal iPhone 5S. Their response time to your questions via phone or text messaging is quick! If I ever need service for any similar nature once again, it's worth the 30 minute drive for me!

I found Gorilla Fix via Yelp and was excited to read the great reviews. Unfortunately, my experience did not reflect the positivity that Gorilla Fix has received and I would like to caution other customers against using the services here, or at least gain a second opinion before giving away their hard-earned money. My phone suffered water damage from being dunked in the ocean, and I took it to Gorilla Fix to see if it was salvageable. The service I received was initially good, as the attendant said the diagnostic was complimentary and after assessing whether the components still worked, we could see how much it would cost to fix. After diagnosing the phone, he told me that the battery would need to be replaced and the screen as well since the screen had "bubbles," but luckily the phone itself was fixable. I was really happy and left the phone in his hands. Five hours later, I came back to pick up the phone and was told that the home button didn't work either, so he enabled the software home button on iPhone. I was not a fan of this method, as it was bulky and unsightly, so I asked him to replace ALL the old components back and I could take the phone elsewhere or trade it in for another phone. I would like to point out that I had received no further communication regarding the fact that the home button didn't work until I went to pick up the phone -- this is unprofessional and felt shady. The next day, I took my phone to another vendor to have it assessed and get a last opinion. This other vendor opened up the phone, and I was shocked to see that it had no battery. I had asked Gorilla Fix to replace ALL the old components back and I had been reassured that this had been done. Not only was the battery missing, but the motherboard LCD connector shield was missing as well. I contacted Gorilla Fix immediately and asked why these items were missing and why I had NOT been told that they had not been put back into the phone. The response was that the battery and motherboard LCD connector shield "were broken" and so they "had been thrown battery away." Are you kidding me? Not only had components of my phone been tossed without my consent, but I had received no communication that they were gone. Plus the motherboard LCD connector shield is just a shield -- how could it be broken just from water damage? More importantly, how come I AGAIN received NO communication or even discussion of this before my property was just tossed away? I cannot stress how unprofessional and downright rude this was. Furthermore, when the other vendor tested the screen of my phone, he said that it was perfectly fine and there were no "bubbles." And I know that it was the old screen and that it hadn't been replaced because there is a distinctive scratch on the screen that is still there. Finally, the other vendor tested the home button as well and said that it worked perfectly fine! At the end of the day, I spent a few tens of dollars to get a new battery (the other vendor was kind enough to throw in a free motherboard LCD connector shield) versus the almost $175 I would have been gypped out if I had fixed the phone at Gorilla Fix. My phone is now functioning perfectly. I have posted screenshots of my communication with Gorilla Fix to provide evidence that I was indeed a customer and that the events here actually occurred. Other potential customers, I'd caution you strongly to either get a second opinion or to avoid Gorilla Fix. I certainly will not be coming back.

I came by last minute and Mike was able to help me out! Thankful because I needed my phone for travel and he understood this. Good service and reasonable prices also **5 stars**

Mike was incredibly quick and professional. He communicated very effectively and made sure to honor the price he offered. Overall, great experience! Definitely will make sure to go to Gorilla Fix for any future fixes.

If you're considering a screen replacement between a genuine Apple one and an aftermarket one,…read moreplease read this. TLDR; Buyer beware. Screen replacements on newer Apple phones will cause a lot of issues that the seller does not disclose during sale nor want to remedy when inevitable issues arise. I have an Iphone 16 Pro that had a crack on the screen that increased in size over time. I did not initially want to spend over $300 on an genuine Apple screen replacement and opted for an aftermarket one. i found Sycamore Tech through Yelp, contacted the owner who scheduled me to come in the same day. Went to this business and had my phone screen replaced in a matter of 20 minutes. Prior to fixing, the owner even upsold me for a OLED screen for an additional $20 since the genuine Apple screens are OLED. After picking up my phone, the owner told me that I will have to calibrate the phone screen which can be done through the settings. I paid a total of $179. The same day, I noticed that the motion/movement while swiping on the screen was very harsh and not smooth compared to before. I also noticed that my phone battery was draining a lot faster along with the fact that the phone was heating up quickly. When I tried calibrating the screen, the phone would not allow it and gave an error message saying that it does not recognize the screen as a genuine Apple product. I searched the error code on Google and apparently it is a very well known issue. An issue that the owner never disclosed. A day or two later, my phone screen went completely black. Initially I thought that my phone was off (due to the battery draining quickly) and attempted to turn the phone on. However, I received a text message and felt the phone vibrate. A purple hue then started developing on the edges of the screen. My coworker immediately took a photo of the issue for me. Using my coworker's phone, I was able to secure an appointment with Apple the same day. After work, I went straight to Apple and told them the issue. The Apple tech ran a diagnostic test as done procedurally and even asked me "This is an aftermarket screen huh? I can tell." Apple replaced the screen, ran a diagnostic test, and everything functioned as normal again. The Apple tech also commented that Apple products are way too advanced today and gone are the days where you can buy aftermarket replacements parts. I paid Apple $350 in total to have my phone screen replaced. My mistake however, was not asking for the malfunctioning aftermarket screen back. I went back to Sycamore Tech and informed the owner of all the issues I had. I even showed him the $350 charge from Apple to prove that I was not lying or trying to game him in any way. His response? "Well yeah I mean it's never going to be as good as an actual Apple one." When asked if I can get a refund or even a partial refund, his response was, "How can I give you a refund if you don't give me back the screen?" I pleaded with the owner and explained to him that even I went back to Apple, I was not sure if I can get his exact phone screen back. The owner told me, "What kind of business would I be if I just started giving refunds to people who don't have a product to give back?" I pleaded with him again that I was not some customer who returned months later demanding a refund with no type of proof. I asked him to stand by his business and his product and again asked if. there was something he can do to remedy the situation. His response? "You should have came to me first." First mistake I had? Using Sycamore Tech. Second mistake I had? Not asking for the malfunctioning phone screen back from Apple. Third mistake I had? Coming back here thinking that the owner will right a wrong. An owner who does not stand by their product/service nor make any attempt to rectify their poor service is an owner who only cares about the money you're giving him,. Spend your money wherever and however you want to, I'm Just putting out my experience with this business so you won't make the same mistake.

The person I left them with said he would try examine them the same day. I know it got busy in the shop just before I left so I can understand if that didn't happen. The staff is pleasant to speak with yet I'm having a similar experience to Nathan regarding communication and them setting expectations for me. Based on past experience, I am used to a 1-2 day turnaround so have been very antsy waiting to hear back. It's a shame because I really love this shop but I can't handle them not communicating and/or setting better expectations. When I understand the situation I can be pretty understanding.
