CAUTION: DO NOT GO HERE.
I went to this place on Saturday morning to get my screen and LCD replaced for my iPhone 5s after reading this promotion on their website: http://www.idocrepair.com.au/index.php?m=repair&a=detail&id=1
I emailed them and told them my situation and they confirmed the price of $89.99
As soon as I arrived there was already a man arguing with them about them breaking his iPad even more than before he brought it in. This should have been an indication to go somewhere else but I was just waking up and didn't even process it fully. Anyway, the man behind the counter apologised and said that this promotion was not valid for me as I didn't meet the terms and conditions. Thinking I may have missed something on the website, and not having a working phone to check, I took his word for it at the full price of $120. Once I returned about 30 mins later, my phone was working fine again and he told me to go through it and check everything is in order. It was. I also went on safari and opened up their website to double check he wasn't lying to me. He was. There were no terms and conditions and the promotion was for a full screen and LCD replacement, exactly what I needed. I showed him this and he just kept denying it, making up excuses each time saying that my situation was 'different' and I had to pay full price. He said they must have forgot to update the website. We argued for some time as I believed they should honour their advertised prices and not make up some bullshit clauses that is not in print anywhere. I asked to speak to this man's boss and he told me he would be in Monday. I told him I would leave all my details and be back Monday, I am not paying the price he is asking. He locked me in the shop and shoved me back every time I tried to reach for the door. As I had to work and was running late, I had no options left but to pay him $120.
Fast forward to Monday, I return to the store to dispute this claim with the manager. He was behind the counter when I arrived, and I told him my situation and point him towards the same promotion that I was quoted, and the same one that was on their website and still is, but he refused to even discuss it. I kept telling him to honour his word and that he can't just make up something that wasn't agreed on. He then proceeds to get extremely verbal, yelling at me to just fuck off and that I am stupid, I can't read, I am crazy and need to get my head checked. He threatens to call the police and I ask please do. He pretends to be on his phone for 5 minutes and I tell him that there is no way the police put you on hold for that long, stop being childish and come have a decent conversation with me. He keeps calling me a cunt and to get out of his store and I say not until I get my $30 back. I ask him for his name and he tells me it is 'fuck off'. He comes over to the counter and tries to snatch my phone out of my hand and when he fails, he then takes a swing at me over the counter. I duck under it and take a few steps back and ask what the fuck was that for. I was not being aggressive or threatening in any manner. He then escalates the situation immensely by picking up a broom and running over to me, hitting me as hard as he could with it 4-5 times. It left a massive bruise and cut on my right forearm, a small cut on my left arm, and two big welts across my back. I manage to exit the store before any serious injuries were sustained and call the police. I reported him for assault as this is entirely unacceptable behaviour from a business owner. I have worked in customer service for many years and even when customers are crying and screaming at you, you do not assault them with cleaning objects. This guy is a very hostile little man and provided absolutely disgusting service. I strongly advise anyone to not go to this shop for any service at all. read more
