Take what ever they quote you, throw it in the nearest garbage can, and take your phone somewhere else to get it repaired anyway.
Had to fix my Note 2 three times. First I brought it in to have the glass replaced, but had to bring it back due to "bad glue" which caused my screen to lift about a quarter inch in all 4 corners and the home button was unpressably tight.
Fix number 2. Then the button was fixed right but the the coating on the screen that repels oil was missing in 2 corners, so every time you touched the screen it would be filthy in those two corners. It would only look right if you walk around with solvent all day to spray your phone. I don't walk around with solvent all day.
Fix number 3. Was no fix!!!! The tech that worked on it, Kwamii, told me he replaced the screen again, which was clearly a straight forward lie because the 2 corners with the blotches had two blotches of the identical shape and size - the odds of that are astronomical. On top of that I was told a cop out excuse of "they all come like this", when in reality all he did was shine it up and hand it back to me after my 30 minute drive there yet again. Rediculous.
They offered to put a screen protector on it saying the blotch spots would not be visible, not looking to drive back here again I said sure, but only if its a glass screen protector. "Okay" they told me and went to get the screen protector "we dont have a glass screen protector we only have the plastic ones. Frustrated, "Okay", I replied. "We dont have one for your phone, we only have one for a different phone that we can cut for you" ...so I'm supposed to accept an illegitimate fix, with a cut up screen protector from another phone? Uh..... no.
I talked to the owner. After being reminded numerous times that "You signed a piece of paper that protects me", the options he laid to me went like this:
"We can order you another piece of glass, (which I have to pay for. Why?? I have nothing to do with why it's messed up, why do I have to pay for the repair again???) but the tech is going to be away for 10 days."
Can you guarantee that it will be fixed, as in repaired completely with no glue problems, or button problems, or blotches on my screen?
"No." Okay, so No.
"We can order you a brand new piece of glass from Samsung for $225". I already have $75 into this ..."repair" so I'm supposed to put another $225 into it to get it fixed by the same tech who lied to me before about "fixing" my phone the last time??? That's RIDICULOUS!!! I can get a brand new Note 2, new in box for $300!!
I ended up trying to square the deal by saying to the owner "How about this, match the cost of a glass screen protector elsewhere which is $35 and we'll call it square". He said "the best im willing to do on it is $20." I took my $20 after being dismissed by the owner.
Garbage.
The only redemption I got is from the young lady who works there with naturally dark brown hair who actually gives a damn, though the systems around her fail her. Everyone else I interacted with was an absolute waste of time energy and money. read more
