Unless you only need your screen replaced, I would not recommend this place to anybody.
My story:
So I visited Rescue Cellphone Repair on Greenville Avenue, the one next to Caruth Haven behind The Village Apartments and here is my story: I came in Sunday at noon for an estimate on how much it would cost to fix my Galaxy S4. The kid who helped me hardly took a look at it and said it looked like its probably the screen and LED or LCD display(which was not the issue at all) I do not really remember. I asked how much it would cost, and he told me is usually 189.99$ for the screen and the display, but it could come out to be more expensive if they find anything else that is wrong on top of that. I ask him to take a look at it and give me an estimate of how much it would be total, so he told me to leave my phone overnight and that they will call me the following day after they looked at it and figured out what was wrong for the actual estimate. Monday comes around and no call so I give them until the end of Tuesday when I show up about an hour before they close to check on the status of the phone. The guy who seemed to be the manager apologized and told me it is taking longer than they thought for the phones to arrive from the place they send them over to get them fixed. He then told me they should have the box of broken phones Wednesday, the next day. Now, all my red flags should have gone off and I should have asked them why they would send the phone to get it fixed when I told them to call me beforehand to give me an estimate of how much it would cost. But I decided to trust that it was the estimate that the kid told me since they did not ultimately find anything else wrong with the phone besides the screen (which as it turns out, the screen was not even an issue in the beginning). So Wednesday comes around and no call, so I wait until the next day and show up Thursday night an hour before they close again. They said it just arrived but they cannot give it to me just yet, since they have to tweak some extra things themselves but that it would be ready Friday morning. I show up Friday morning AND FINALLY AFTER 4 DAYS from the original "pick up date" even though I never actually told them to go ahead and fix it,it is ready. The cashier then hands me the phone and tells me is going to come out to 289.99$. Now at this point I just laugh at them and tell her that is ridiculous, and that a new S4 is only 249.99$. She gets the manager, who agrees that the price is ridiculous and lowers it to 219.99$. I tell them I am not paying more than what the estimate was, and he tells me "there were quite a lot of things wrong with the phone, and galaxy phones are very expensive and complicated to fix." So I told him to just take the new parts off and give me my phone back, which is when he dropped the price back down to 189.99$. Once I pay, he tries to turn the phone on in front of me but it does not load after the initial welcome screen appears (which was the exact issue it had before). He then promises me that it will work once the phone is charged. I trust him, mostly because I did not want to run late to class and had no way to charge it at the store, and take the phone and on my way to school I try to charge it.... oh no, exact same issue, battery screen appears but then nothing. After class is done, I return, he looks at me and without a word exchanged for a couple of seconds I tell him it is still not working, he immediately gives me all my money back, but tells me that he has to take every new part out that he put. He tells me that he should finish taking all the new parts he installed by Saturday at noon. I arrive at my mother's apartment since she lives so close to the place and as soon as I get there, she tells me that the guy called her telling her to pick the phone up as it is. So I drive back to this place for like the 8th time for the guy to tell me he does not even want to have anything to do with my phone anymore(I think mostly because it would take him longer than the next day to get used or broken parts for my phone and he knows I know that the screen was never an issue so he has to give me a working screen and he knows I would show up every day it takes him to get all the parts back), and still has the nerve to tell me he thinks its only because it has not been charged properly. I took it to a different place where they had it ready this same Friday, and only charged me 70.00$ to change the circuitry and ribbon cable of the USB charging port... so now my phone is working better than ever. I did get a brand new screen which looks amazing out of this whole ordeal, and a new back cover which makes my phone look like it is brand new, but I cannot express how much people need to avoid this place. read more
