I had my husband's phone screen replaced here for about $200. As soon as I put a phone case back on the phone, the new screen cracked. I was installing the case normally, not dropping the phone or using excessive force. When I contacted the store, they told me I was being "too rough" while putting the case on and refused to honor the warranty. Instead, they offered me only a 50% discount on another screen replacement. A properly installed screen should not crack from the normal process of putting on a phone case. I was very disappointed by how my concern was handled. Rather than standing behind their repair, they blamed me without any evidence. I expected better customer service and a warranty that would cover defects or installation issues. Based on my experience, I cannot recommend this business.

My wife dropped her iPad and it bounced off the corner of an end table, cracking the screen into a spiderweb pattern. A Yelp search brought me here. I arrived and was warmly greeted. After the tech took a look at the damage I was quoted a price and, even though it was an older model, I decided the repair was worthwhile. The repair was done the same day, within a couple of hours. Communication was done by text and email so I knew immediately when the iPad was fixed and ready to pick up. I was very pleased with the repair and high level of customer service.

Here's what my APU looked like. I didn't get any overheating issues/messages yet.

I called, to fix my PS5 for the infamous liquid metal issue as a precautionary step, after seeing a few reels on their Instagram channel (@InstaFix) and YZ was very knowledgeable and accommodating from the get go!! He was able to give me all of the required info, that helped me to prepare for my walk-in appointment. The appointment itself was a breeze! I walked in to the store, as YZ was taking in another customer's PS5 for the same infamous issue. Right after that, he took my info, I checked-in my PS5, and was given the heads up that it'd take an hour to complete the job. In less than an hour, I got a text message that my PS5 is ready to be picked up!! Very impressed by the service and knowledge I received at the store!! I'd highly recommend going to them for your electronics needs, as long as they handle the device. Will absolutely go back there for my electronics, in a heartbeat.

Cracked Phone Screen 1 week after Instafix replaced the glass.  Terrible workmanship.  Too expensive and terrible customer service.

So impressed with the service I received from Abdullah! I have an older iPad Pro 12.9" that was…read morehaving difficulty charging. Searching around online, it seemed like it could have been the charging port. I called around to some places, and searched online, and the prices I was quoted at other places were significantly higher. I thought about scrapping my iPad, but it does have some sentimental value since it was bought for me by my husband after I passed my CA real estate license exam. After searching some more, I stumbled upon RXTech Repair in Mission Viejo. I sent a request via their online form, asking if they also service my older model iPad. I received a quick email reply, stating the price for replacing the charging port. I had to make sure it was including both labor and the part, as his price was so much more reasonable than other places! When I told Abdullah I would bring my iPad in, he gave me very detailed directions as to where to find the shop. I'm so glad he did, because it's in a shopping center at the corner of La Paz and Marguerite, and there are several shopping centers around there. Even told me where to park! He told me he would try to look at it later on that day (Friday) since he has shorter hours on Saturday and he's closed on Sunday. Sure enough, it was the charging port. He contacted me later that day, telling me when the iPad would be ready for pickup. I went on Saturday before my open house. Paid cash since I didn't want him to have to pay for credit card fees (even though he doesn't charge extra), and I refused to take the $1 change from the cash I gave him. My iPad now works great! Abdullah was so pleasant to work with, took care of my issue quicker than I expected, and I have been telling anyone who will listen to me that it is worth the extra drive from the RSM area to MV for tech repair, as he gives spectacular service at stellar prices! Thank you so much!

I was under the assumption that the charging port was broken, and was fully expecting to pay $50 or so for a replacement. However, the technician who assisted me quickly identified the culprit as debris stuck inside, skillfully cleared it out in less than 2 minutes, and handed me back my phone. When I prepared to pay for the repair, she gave me the most unexpected and shockingly refreshing news that there was NO CHARGE! Given the outstanding display of ethical business practice, I would definitely return here for any future repairs involving my mobile devices or laptop, and strongly recommend this business to others in the community as well.

A couple of months ago, I brought in an older MacBook that wouldn't turn on. The employee was…read morefriendly and upfront that the computer was very old and likely not worth repairing unless I needed the data. I appreciated the honesty and asked him to take a look anyway since it still serves a purpose for my 5-year-old. After testing it, he determined it was the charger and sold me one for $40. While I was there, I also asked if he could reattach the "V" key on the keyboard. He took a quick look and told me it was broken, but offered to replace it for something like a $20 charge, which I declined. Later, the spacebar snapped off, so I finally looked into fixing the keyboard myself. After a 5-minute YouTube search, I was able to reattach the spacebar and snap the "V" key right back into place. It wasn't broken at all. But here's my issue: my guard wasn't up because I assumed I could trust the advice I was getting. Looking back, the charger he sold me consistently goes for around $20 online in very good condition, and the one I got was pretty beat up. As for the keyboard, either he was trying to upsell me on a repair I didn't need, or he didn't know how to fix something that took me less than 5 minutes to figure out myself. In hindsight, I don't feel like the advice or pricing was very trustworthy. No real harm done, but I'm writing this review as a heads up to others. Double check prices and maybe get a second opinion on any repairs that are recommended. Hope this helps someone. +++UPDATE, Hi Ray, Fair enough. I don't know enough about computer repair to say whether your assessment was correct or not. Based on the videos I found while reattaching the key, all the pieces appeared to be intact. I was able to snap it back into place in a few minutes, and as of now it feels and functions just like the other keys. Time will tell!? If it turns out the key was damaged in the way you described, then I'll gladly stand corrected. As for the charger, I think your point about retail pricing versus online pricing is fair. In hindsight, I probably should have done a little research before purchasing it. That said, after seeing what these chargers typically sell for and considering the condition of the one I received, $40 still felt high to me.
