Terry messaged me back and forth for a whole weekend helping me to narrow down the issues with my TV.. for free!

Outstanding service you just don't see anymore in these days. You can check my profile I'm a very critical person sometimes but I had to write my first positive review ever for the help I received from Terry. You really don't see it anymore like this.

My iPhone was currently not holding a charge, dying on me on the regular and when I actually checked in Settings, the iPhone message stated that I needed to get a new battery. So it was time to head to EFix, glad to have this new business close by rather then heading into Silverdale or Poulsbo! Mike took my call ordered a new battery that took less than a day to receive. Once I came in, he was able to swap my battery out in half an hour. I also had another issue with my lens and he identified the problem instantly and was able to clean and re-glue my lens that was loose on my old iphone. As you know, our phones are so important and his great customer service as well as such fast service was well appreciated. I can recommend all to use EFix for fair pricing and most importantly, fast quality work!

Doing anything to get out of a 5 year warranty after only 5 months of use is so shady. Be wary of any company who offers warranties through Q-tel. They will cancel your warranty with zero proof of anything and you will then have to go through the lengthy appeals process with the original manufacturers. They communicate extremely slowly, and do not value your time. Fortunately for them, I'm sure they make most of their money through shady warranties and do not need to be a reputable company that local people trust in order to stay in business.

After getting back home I found i could not get on wifi, my old phone and laptop connected but not my newer phone. I googled and found a number of suggestions and I also tried Youtube but none of them got me back on wifi. After going to two cell phone repair shops in Victoria and spending about 20 minutes at each place, no reason or solution was not found but the last repair person I spoke with told me to try Mobile Klinik (pronounced clinic) as they were reported to be the best for Samsung products. The next day I went to Mobile Klinik and Kellan was the person I was dealing with. After about 15 minutes trying different things, he couldn't find the reason so I suggested we do a reset and restore but Kellan found there was no option to do so. He then suggested I bring in my laptop and older Samsung phone to the store to work with as I couldn't even bring my new phone back to the retailer as I wasn't able to get my personal information off until it was wiped. Few days later I bring my devices in and after spending two hours (no exagg.) he was able to reset and restore my new phone to be able to get wifi. I definitely recommend Kellan at Mobile Klinik at Hillside Mall as I couldn't have been happier.

Kellan approached each one with enthusiasm and a can-do attitude. He spent almost 2 hours with me, fixed everything including solving what appeared to be insurmountable error issues.

Wish I had read these reviews before I took my Apple Watch Series 4 there(Colwood Store)…read more I needed a new battery and took it in. The guy told me that there could be screen damage. I still needed the battery so I accepted the condition. He called me later that day and said it was ready, so I went and got it. I was relieved that the screen was fine. He said there was a 30 day guarantee. When I got home I realized that the pairing was not working. So I Unpaired, shut down my phone then powered back up and tried to Re-Pair it. It seemed to work, but the next day I noticed that the functionality I was used to was not there. I could not ping my phone, my incoming phone calls did not go to my watch ... and many others. I admit I was not able to take it back right away and then when I did have time I procrastinated ... it was partially working and I knew when the 30 days were up. I did eventually take it back. He kept it for 3 days and then phoned to tell me that there was water damage and there was nothing he could do. He wanted to take the new battery out and refund my money for the battery only, but still charge me for his time. So he was not out a nickel and I was out a $400 watch, which would cost me $700 to replace new. He kept implying that the water damage happened after it left the store, but the watch didn't work properly from the moment I got home and tried it out. After a 3 lengthy phone calls, (I hung up on him twice - I was so angry) it was left with no resolution. To his credit he did call me back twice and said he wanted his customers to be happy. Overnight I decided that I would ask him if he could at least find me a replacement and I was determined not to get angry but to be firm. When I got there, he had come to the same conclusion and offered me an older replacement (series 3 - ugly black case, mine was the nice rose-gold colour). So he gets the second star for effort, but ultimately I paid him $125 plus tax for a downgrade. How do I know he didn't lie about the water damage? It is supposed to be water resistant, my daughter swims with hers on and it's fine. So he trades me an old watch for my newer one and I pay him for it? I did get the impression that he was trying to make good, but still - I can't know for sure if he's just a huckster.
