They couldn't help, but they were very nice about it. Didn't try to rip us off. Also got to enjoy a brand new coffee place a few doors down while we were there. Bonus bonus! read more

Sorry, I didnʻt catch the proprietorʻs name but he was very helpful on restoring an old cheap phone when I couldnʻt. Three days of frustration solved in five minutes.............even after he told me it was a goner. Donʻt know how he got it there, but thanks. Have most of my personalized settings to boot ...........after some playing around. PLUS, heʻs right here in Kihei. read more

Incredible phone repair service. My iPhone 12 turned into a potato and five minutes later with a new, in stock battery all is swell. Saved me a $g on a new phone. Many mahalos read more

Corey ... quick fast friendly service .. very professional ... found me a iPhone battery and replaced in minutes at a reasonable price ... opens on weeken read more

Incredible!!!!! Struggled for days and with countless support people, even from the device manufacturer.... Nothing. Walked into Mr Cellular and he had it fixed in less than a minute and didn't charge me. Gave him a giant tip and this review! This place deserves all of Maui's business. What a guy and what a place! read more

iPhone needed immediate repairs and a new glass screen. Found MrCellular on Yelp and went right there. They're located on the ground floor of a large residential condo complex with their store front and their front door on the side of the condo building facing South Kihei Road. You park in their lot in the middle of their condo building and walk through the passageway out to their walkway in front of the sidewalk. Kind of a strange building design set up, but it really makes sense once you look around because otherwise, there would be no obvious residential use for the ground floor of the side of the condo building facing the very busy South Kihei Road with no street parking. I suspect there are residents who live above where they work here - a work/live set up. Anyway, we explained our problem and he gave us an estimate and told us to come back in 40 minutes. We came back in 40 minutes and the iPhone was fixed as promised and we paid our bill and left satisfied. Thanks MrCellular! read more

I really thought it was a goner. I really thought I'm going to start my vacation without my phone! It won't turn on and it won't charge, no matter how hard I tried. As I was about to give up and buy a new phone, hubby told me that he found a repair shop. As soon as we talked to Cory, he knew right a way what happened and what needs to be done. I picked up the phone the next day and am very satisfied and happy. Thank you again, Cory. read more

Very quirky place but we appreciated that he was open and willing to help my husband with his phone that got in the ocean. He wasn't very friendly and said he closes when he wants to. He said he didn't work on the newest iPhones. The fee was reasonable and he knew what he was doing, and we were in and out of there more quickly than expected. read more

Corey's awesome. Went in with a iPhone stuck in a loop, and he got it fixed up for me nicely. Knows what he's doing, explained the whole repair process got me on my way fast. What more could I ask for? Highly recommend. read more

I know I'm gunna get some bs response from him but I don't care. 3 weeks have gone by and 3 separate times I have taken my phone in to get fixed. All 3 times there was another issue, usually worse than the original issue. He always "warranties" his work but that means jack shit when you've been out a phone for a month and almost $400. read more

Great experience! Cory knows his stuff Fast smart easy and reliable Kiheis only option too Pooch is cute!! read more

I broke my phone on a Friday, almost at Cory's shop at closing time. I gave him a call and he was willing to wait for me and fix my screen in 20 minutes. I had a previous screen repair done that never worked right, and as soon as I got my phone back from Cory it worked perfectly again. Super happy with my decision to have him repair it, and he even threw in a screen protector so I (hopefully) don't have another similar mishap! read more

TL;DR: Cory is a decent cell phone doctor, he rescued my water-damaged iPhone 13 Pro in less than 1 hour with quick replacement of a brand-new OEM digitizer. Key-takeaway: If you have a water-damaged phone and you are not an expert, please consider not attempting to do anything to it by yourself but let the expert handles it, as you could worsen the situation and have to pay extra dollars to fix it. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The whole story if you want more details or resonance to your case. On 11/28/2022, I went for snorkeling with my iPhone 13 pro in a waterproof case, unfortunately the case wasn't locked properly and let water in, my phone continues to work even though it was immersed in the water for more than 15 mins, since then I was able to use my phone for navigation, playing videos I captured under the water with speaker volume to the max and calling (surprisingly it still worked, right?). However, I was not able to charge it as the iOS software pop-up advised me that it detects water within my phone and it cannot be charged after a few hours. (I wished Apple could have updated this warning message by sending this to a cell phone repair store to get checked up first.) What I did next was properly not the right thing (I should have handed my phone to the expert like Mr. Cellular earlier), I was so eager to charge my phone due to the low battery anxiety kicks-in, I got a hairdryer to blow it through the charging port and sim card port till my hand feels really hot, I checked the online guide that my iPhone's sim card area does not show red but white color, and then I charged my phone. I saw it accepted charging this time before the hairdryer self-treatment, however, the charge only last less than 3 seconds and then my phone stops charging, and I lost my touch screen's navigation even though the screen is still lit up, the only button I could use this time is the power button. Next I researched on Yelp and trusted my professional guts that Cory knows what he is doing despite of some negative review, and the fact proves that he is an expert in repairing water damaged cell phones and I decides to mail him my other phones for repair. The end. Thanks for your patience in reading my rambling, and I hope this helps get your phone fixed ASAP. read more

Amazing service. Brought in my absolutely destroyed phone, and swapped my logic board into a new phone all for only $300. highly recommend read more

They were very responsive with my text messages to them. The actual repair time was only 15-20 minutes. Having said that, $299 for repair of a cracked iPhone 11 screen is extremely exorbitant. read more

My wife's iPhone 11's battery was bulging, and the Apple authorized repair place said they would have to replace the whole unit for about $500-600. A quick call to MrCellular resulted in a quote of $100 and said it would only take 10-15 minutes. True to his word, 10 minutes later I walked out with a working phone that didn't look like it was about to burst open. Thanks, Cory! read more

This gentleman is my vacation hero. My iPhone battery decided to only last about 2-3 hours each day right before we left for Maui, so my phone was dead shortly after we landed. We looked on Yelp, called and asked if he supported my older iPhone model, and were in and out in 5-10 minutes! Bonus: his sweet little dog Koa kept us company while we waited. I'm so glad we were able to find him instead of dealing with it at a way overpriced Verizon store back in SoCal! read more

Corey repaired my wife's iPhone 6S screen in no time. He actually estimated that it would take 17-1/2 minutes to fix, and that was pretty spot on. He quoted $99 to replace the 6S screen. After paying $15 for a $25 voucher (essentially saving $10) that was advertised on Yelp for his business, we paid just over $75 with tax. My wife's phone was dropped out of the car on the highway and ran over by the car behind us. However smashed the screen was, it was still semi-responsive and alive, thanks to the Otter Box it was in. Corey breathed new life into it and her phone is as good as new. He's super friendly, easy to talk to, and even has an adorable Jack Russel companion named Chuck Norris that will immediately befriend you. Expedient and friendly service along with a cute Jack Russel, is a no-brainer for me - I'd definitely come back here for any phone repair. read more

DO NOT GO TO THIS PLACE, I REPEAT DO NOT go to this place to fix/repair your phone. Went in to get my iPhone x repaired for fresh water damage, got charge $100 right UP FRONT before any service is done. Came back two days later to pick it up and it seems like he just starting to work on it that same day, and told me to comeback in an hour. Arrived one hour later and he told me that the phone is showing no charge and it might be the logic board. He told me to put it under the sun for a few days and if it doesn't work, it basically broken. I went on to ask what should I do, and he stated "you can throw the phone at the person, if someone is trying to steal your stuff" VERY UNPROFESSIONAL and INAPPROPRIATE. I asked where did the $100 went to? after all I paid to get it FIX, the owner told me that its the fee for diagnostic and service fee. The phone was put back very messily, with the rubber seal pinched on the edges and the inside of the camera lens is dirty. Basically went it to get it fix and it was not fixed at all and $100 down the drain. The first warning that I should have notice was the money upfront before anything else, second was the fact that no documentation whatsoever. Went to another repair shop to ask for a second opinion on the matter and they told me "for a diagnostic they should charge only $30 and no more than $50". To check what is the damage on the phone itself and what needed to be fix. Also they mentioned that payment are charged after the service is done not prior. Essentially the shop wants your money up front, so when the repair doesn't go as plan, they still have your money. I went to another phone repair shop and they charge $35 for diagnostic and assessment of the phone (payment after the service is rendered not before). Trust me, go to another repair shop don't waste your time and money at this shop. read more

Poor/cheap quality screen replacements. New screen is much darker and the touch sensitivity is not good. Going to get it replaced elsewhere again read more

I came in today with the worst of cell phone problems- water damage. I had to buy a new phone last time this happened years ago. You'd think I'd learn from my mistake... Cory was right there ready to help with a smile, mumble fingers, and a clearly intelligent mind. He had it apart. Dried out and diagnosed within 15 minutes. It need a New screen & charger port... ouch. He gave me a fat discount and even threw in an awesome screen protector! It was all finished within a matter of an hour. My phone is working great and I'm back in touch with my clients and friends. I'll be telling all my friends on island about him. Mahalo again Braddah! read more

Cory is a miracle worker folks! My iPhone sat in a puddle of water for awhile. I didn't think there was any coming back for my beauty but Cory saved it. He says "we got lucky"! He is incredibly humble, amazingly low priced and won't stop until the job is done. read more

I actually didn't end up doing business with this guy because of the insane customer service we got when we came in to ask about his services. He pretty much mocked my fiancé for a question he asked, then made fun of locals and was just so unfriendly and not helpful. So even though he's the most convenient for us, we will definitely be going elsewhere for our services. read more

Ask for Cory! Fell during my morning run and shattered my iPhone screen. My iPhone was fixed in less than 20 min. (while I got lunch) and a screen protector was added to the screen for future falls. Local or visiting, these guys can take care of you. The store's friendly mascot is just and added bonus. read more

Went to him to replace lens on iPhone. Had small crack in lens that would reflect when taking photos in sun. He replaced and then photos blurry. Went back and he changed again. Still blurry. Tried to blame phone. Called asking for refund. Said ok but I would need to come back to store. Not stepping foot in there all vendors using square can issue credit. Will be disputing with my bank read more

Highly recommend this place. Cory is knowledgeable, experienced and entertaining while he works! My IPhone X came swimming with me and completely shut down. I could squeeze the screen and actually had water spraying from the speakers. To my surprise he opened it up, dried it out, and got it working. If it's repairable, Cory can fix it. read more

Well, this place was literally a vibe saver. We were on the Road to Hana and stopped by the Bamboo Forest and had a mishap with one of my friends phones, yeah, a total submersion in the flowing waters of a waterfall. Needless to say, we searched endlessly online for a local cell repair place in Kihei. We took our phone there and left it for the day. When we came back...boom!!! It was working again! What a lifesaver Cory was. The happiness returned to my friends face again and she was able to start snapping her pictures again. MrCellular was fast, affordable and friendly. I highly recommend his expertise should you experience any phone mishaps or problems. Yvette Leilani Brownstone Ventura, California read more

We needed a battery for a super old flip phone and he had it!!! Super nice experience and very helpful!

Yay awesome! Cory fixed the completely busted up LCD screen on my iPhone plus in 15 minutes (right in front of me). $99 and I feel like I have a brand new phone. read more

MrCellular Cellphone Repair - Shiny New Screen! - Mobile Phone Repair Near Me - Kihei, Hawaii

I love this shop. The owner has NEVER let me down on a repair, and I'm sad to admit I've been to him no less than five times in two years. He also has very reasonable prices! Can he fix every phone with every type of issue or damage? Probably not. But I just want to say he has gone out of his way to repair my cracked screens and as of late, is working to bring my ocean-damaged phone back to life. It's not quite there yet, but signs are pointing positive. Even if he can't get it done, I'm grateful to have this place to go to during a pandemic no less. Oh, and the shop dog is absolutely adorable. read more

I took my iPhone 7 in for a battery replacement and Cory fixed it right up! Cute store, cute dog, fast service. Mahalo Cory

Very fast service. Great price! Drop my phone on the ground. The back LCD didn't work and thought that it would be a lot of cpause but he got it to work. Had me in and out in 15 min. Will come again. read more

This guy knows his stuff. He does a really good n fast job and I'd trust him to get it fixed. However, he does charge out the A$$. Example: phone has some water damage in my sim port and he opened her up in 5 seconds and dried it out with a mini blow dryer and unfortunately the phones sim still wouldn't work. 10 minutes later I have a $41 bill and phone that's still broken. At this rate guy makes more than brain surgeons do. Probably won't be back. Nice guy though. read more

Very quick service. Extremely reasonable prices!! I'd definitely recommend every time he is true to his word! And very quick With repairing he's also very knowledgeable with the products he's repairing!! read more

Another wet phone dried. How was I to know that waterproof phone cases may not last more than a few months? So, three days after my phone got just wet enough to react to a charge but not show any screen activity, I woke up and remembered there are shops for that. Rice didn't work BTW. So, $140 (to dry and replace screen) and two hours later, my iphone works! Happy me. I was prepared to fork out $500 or more for a new phone. Thanks, Mr Cellular. read more

Shattered my iphone 6 screen. In and out of there in 15 minutes. My phone looks new again. Very happy customer!! Highly recommend.

Great service, Cory is da 'The Akamai Cell Guy' My son drowned his phone & broke the screen, way cheaper than replacement! Really appreciate his onsite service & knowledge. If you need to rely on a true professional, you can rely on Cory. read more

Best service ever! After Cory changed my battery, I dropped my phone. It seems the phone just needed to be opened and battery placed back in.. simple no charge, fast service. It happened again and this time he put a shim in side, but also taught me how to fix it if it happened again, even gave the tools I'd need. He didn't charge me. His quick response is so helpful. I wouldn't go anywhere else! read more

My phone got wet earlier in the week. I checked in with a few Yelp recommended sources on Maui. Two said they couldn't help and I would need to wait until I returned the the mainland and an Apple store. Cory at Mr. Cellular not only told me to bring it in for a free estimate, he was able to fix it promptly and didn't charge me for water damage treatment because he had to replace my white screen with a black one. The whole stop took about 20 minutes. Whew and Wow. I am immensely relieved and grateful. Plus, I learned I can magnetize any screwdriver head by rubbing it against a kitchen magnet to polarize for a short period to work with small screws in tight spaces. Quite a two-fer! read more

Corey did a great job! Gave us a great reasonable price and fixed it within 20 minutes. Very friendly and great service. Koa the puppy is adorable also! read more
