Sharon has the most charming way of over coming the challenge of coaching you in English with the limitations of her native Chinese. I asked my good friend and director of technology for an exemplary school district where to go for reliable computer repair and without hesitation, he said, "Sharon at the mall." She has supplied us with more than eight reliable computers over the 20 years we have relied on her in our small business, and repairs happen within hours or overnight at most.

Having…read morea Geek Squad Annual Service Plan, we bought a TV mount, sound bar, sound bar mount and Apple TV from Best Buy to mount, install and program. However, after making the purchases and going to make an appointment (which happened to be 2 weeks out), I was told by Best Buy that my Geek Squad Service Plan could not be used as it only applied to our home address. This was ludicrous given our daughter (a family member) was being moved into a property that was rented for one year and her permanent address was our residence. Enter Hello Tech! I found this company on line and made an appointment on Saturday and on Sunday afternoon our installation was completed by a very capable Hello Tech technician. I purchased their annual service plan and upon returning to Tampa, Florida, I had a Hello Tech technician install a Google Nest WiFi Learning Thermostat, 3rd Generation, along with three sensors, which I purchased from Lowe's. Best Buy and the Geek Squad are over rated. I will be canceling my service plan with Best Buy.

I went to this store about five months ago, January 2026, because my screen needed repair. They…read moreasked me if I wanted the low quality screen, the good quality screen (comparable to Apple but much cheaper) or the Apple screen. I said I wanted the middle option. That is what I paid for. As soon as I got my phone back (4 hours later- keep this in mind for later in the story), I knew something was wrong. It was shutting off all the time, the brightness didn't work correctly, and my front camera was awful quality. I am somewhat shy and don't like confrontation and I do not want to be THAT person that complains and makes an employee's day harder... so I just told myself to live with it and did not go back and complain. Fast forward to today, May 15th 2026. I broke my screen again and took it somewhere else. When the employee at the other store looked at my phone, he automatically said "you have gotten this replaced before?" because he could tell right off the bat that my screen was not the quality it should have been, had they really given me that "high quality" screen. He starts repairing it and tells me that uBreakiFix did not even put the main screws back in my phone! I have been walking around for FIVE MONTHS without the correct screws in my phone because they screwed it up (pun not intended). He also said he commonly has complaints of people coming from the uBreakiFix store, leaving with a phone more messed up than when they started. At the new store, he finished my phone in no joke five minutes so I am not sure why uBreakiFix needed four hours... to do the wrong thing. Long story short, do not go here and make the same mistake I did. Absolutely not worth the money or time.

I came in on a Monday around noon, and I was not told until the end of my transaction that the transfer would be completed in about three days... The reason I came here was because the closest Apple Store is over an hour away from Athens, and I thought this would be convenient. At the Apple Store, a transfer takes 2-3 hours max. I was fine with waiting a few extra days, though. I called on Wednesday to check the status of the transaction and they had forgotten about it and had yet to begin working on my computer. I started writing this post two years ago and just found it in my drafts, so I'll post what I have. Don't remember much more than what was already typed other than it was one of the worst customer service experiences in my life. Pretty sure they kept my computer for about a week and ended up not being able to do anything with it. Ended up driving to Apple and got it fixed within a day. Recommend just going to Apple first instead
