I brought my non-working PCI card and computer to VFX & Technology after being told they had the…read moreproper equipment to diagnose and possibly repair it. I was told the diagnosis would take 24-48 hours. It took about a week. I paid $90 upfront for the diagnostic. I was later quoted $200 to replace the processor chip. I decided not to proceed with the repair and went to pick up my equipment. When I arrived, I was first told it was fixed. Then I was told it was not fixed but that a bad capacitor had been identified and it could be repaired in two hours. I agreed to wait, but then I was told they were going to lunch for a couple of hours. I returned the next day. The next day, the door was locked. I called and was told they were closed. When I asked to pick up my property, the owner became hostile and threatened to call the police. I was told to return the following week. When I went back at 11:30 a.m., I was told there was an issue at the shop and that I would need to meet at another storefront in Hyde Park. I was told to come at 1:30 p.m., then it was changed to 2:30 p.m. I refused the change, and eventually received the address to retrieve my equipment. In the end, nothing was repaired. I was also told they did not have the programmer required and that it would cost $200 for one. I later purchased the same programmer new on eBay for $35 and a replacement chip for $44. The communication was inconsistent, timelines were not honored, and picking up my own property became unnecessarily difficult. Based on this experience, I would not return.

This was by far the most unprofessional, drawn out horrific experience. From the rambling owner…read morewho has issues with accountability and honesty. What was predicted to be an 3day repair turned into over 3 weeks due to mistakes, missed deliveries and missteps. After repairing he lied about part delays but later admitted to his staff re-cracking the device . Only after lying about it being delivered broken. He also missed the 3 attempts to delivering when he wasn't open during his business hours. He then completely disassembled my device for an external issue. Only to have my device not turn on after he finally called me to pick up after 3 delays and extensions. He never apologized, never took accountability never fixed the problem. In fact he made it worse. I left with additional issues. Bad decision. Bad business. Bad experience.

That being said, it was well worth the wait!) Just got my receiver back yesterday and it's functioning like new! It also looks fantastic with the upgraded front panel lights installed. Very happy with the service. Vince responded to messages within 24 hours (which, for me, is a huge plus) and the cost for the repair was what I had estimated - so no surprises. If you have a piece of vintage audio equipment that you want working properly, definitely check out Pure-Grooves!

This is a horrible place full of scams, lies, and money gain…read more I had been lied to about a laptop screen price that is typically lower, and it had increased instead of the normal price it is worth. I would not recommend nobody come to this place to get their technology done whether it's for work, school, or home and I suggest to find another place unless you want to be scam by a real scammer. I promise it be so much worth your time and money, if you don't come to this place, because 529.20 or higher is way too much in our society and they don't tell you about the tax too the last minute and they charge for putting it back together and every other thing that they can find. PS. Let everyone that this is a very bad place to pick for a repair and report scam if you can. Thank you!!!

If I could give zero stars, I would. My experience at this uBreakiFix location was a complete…read moredisaster from start to finish. The staff member who "helped" me (pictured here) was rude, dismissive, and arrogant from the moment I walked in. He acted like answering basic questions about my repair was a burden, rolled his eyes when I asked for details, and clearly had no deep knowledge of hardware repair. Their diagnostics were inconsistent and suspicious. When I dropped off my device, they said there was no water damage. Later, after they failed to fix it, they suddenly claimed there was water damage -- contradicting their own report. This is a common scam tactic to avoid taking responsibility for failed repairs. To make matters worse, they use cheap, non-OEM parts that aren't fully compatible with your device. After their so-called "repair," my MacBook had issues it never had before like poor touch response on the trackpad and keyboard keys being loose. When I pointed this out, the employee blamed me instead of acknowledging the poor workmanship. This place fails in every way that matters -- no professionalism, no accountability, no quality parts, and no real expertise. If you value your time, money, and devices, go to a reputable repair shop or an authorized service center. uBreakiFix in Oak Lawn is the last place you should trust.

There is nothing quite like the heart stopping fear of watching a movie on your pricey high end 4K…read moreTV that was intended to be a long-term investment only to have that TV shut off suddenly without warning and be unable to turn it back on. No amount of troubleshooting gave me any idea of what happened. In my case fortunately my Sony TV model was specifically covered in a narrow extended warranty for a power board supply issue. After finally getting Sony to act on repairing the TV I was extremely concerned about what vendor they would use in order to repair my TV at home. I certainly did not want there to be any lingering problems or have the repair affect any of the features of my TV and I knew that the quality of the technician would be important. For once, Sony impressed me when they assigned the repair to TV Repair Xperts. from the beginning the company was very fast to reach out to me and explain the timeline on the repair. In addition, they were extremely flexible with respect to repair scheduling and were clearly skilled enough at what they do that they could fit many appointments into one day. My contact there was my new hero, Bill. I scheduled a late day appointment and Bill kept me updated on the day of my appointment as his day progressed. He was especially cordial and professional when he arrived. I had no idea the magnitude of the repair I needed and he was kind enough to explain it to me. He was also kind enough to offer me advice on a software update issue I had been having with this TV. Within just a few minutes, he had managed to reattach the jumble of cords and my beautiful 4K screen came back to life. They may not have a super fancy website or sophisticated marketing, but they will be my absolute first choice and I referral whenever I'm in need of a TV repair again or know someone who is in need of high quality and professionalism.

They apparently put an unauthorized part in there, and of course it didn't work. Bad enough, but in the process, they broke my screen. It's okay though, they replaced it for $100 plus the 110 dollar no refundable deposit I gave. That's $210 so far for nothing. Bad enough, but wait. Now, my iPhone won't stop letting me know that someone attempted to install an unauthorized part in my phone. I can't get the warning to leave, which I believe is unduly draining my battery. Bad enough? Also, my battery doesn't want to charge fully anymore and it runs down about 15% faster than it used to. When I went there, all i needed was for my camera to work. Everything else was fine. They charged me $210 to break my phone completely. An expensive lesson to learn. Never again.
