SAVE YOUR MONEY & FIND A QUALITY PHONE REPAIR SHOP! Spent $190 to get my husband's screen fixed. An hour after leaving the place, his phone dies. Of course, he went to go charge it & it would not charge or cut on. We assumed it was a bad charger, so we tried 3 different chargers & still nothing. Left it on the chargers for hours & still nothing. He already had a flight later that night to get home to Florida during the Coronavirus pandemic, so didn't have time to go back to the place. (Mind you, we NEVER had an issue with the battery prior to getting the screen fixed)
When he got back to Florida, we went to another phone repair shop to see what was wrong with the battery. The guy opened the phone & told us it was an iPhone 8 battery. He showed us what the iPhone XR battery was & placed that battery into the phone & the phone cut on. He did all of this in front of us & while we was still there. That was an extra $55 to get the phone fixed!
I called the Phone n Fix shop and talked to the owner Carl, to notify them that whoever fixed my husband's phone switched out his battery. HE TOOK NO OWNERSHIP OF THEIR MISTAKE! He kept telling me that they didn't do it because it was impossible since we left with the phone working. We had no issues with the battery prior to getting the screen fixed. We never had the phone worked on prior to getting the screen fixed. I highly doubt Apple will give us an iPhone XR with an iPhone 8 battery and even if they did, we would of had that problem wayyy before going to Phone n Fix.
I was so pissed about the lack of ownership and HORRIBLE business practices dealing with the battery issue, I didn't get to tell him about the Face ID not working either! Yeah, ANOTHER $99 dollars for another mistake on their part! read more
