My son Nathan and I stopped by **Cellphone 911** on Saturday after I did what every confident Mac…read moreowner eventually does: attempt a self-repair and strip a screw in the process.
DeShawn had promised he would take care of it, and once again, he came through.
This was not our first rodeo. Over the years, DeShawn has repaired our MacBook at least half a dozen times. Screens, ports, batteries, weird issues that make you think the laptop is finished. Each time, he patiently digs in, explains what's going on, and finds a practical solution instead of pushing an expensive replacement.
This visit turned into a full-on father son afternoon. Nathan watched closely, asked questions, helped where he could, and learned how delicate and precise these repairs really are. DeShawn never rushed us, never talked down to us, and treated the whole situation like a shared problem to solve, not a transaction to maximize.
What really stands out is integrity. DeShawn could have upsold parts, quoted a big repair, or waved us off because it was a mess I created myself. Instead, he fixed the stripped screw, made sure everything was stable, double-checked the work, and charged me twenty dollars. That is not a typo.
His shop is not flashy. It feels like a place where real work gets done. Phones and laptops everywhere, tools out, music playing, and a guy who clearly cares about keeping people's tech alive a little longer in a world that tells you to throw it away.
If your device matters to you, and if you value honesty, skill, and someone who treats you like a human being instead of a quick sale, this is your place. I already know where I'm going the next time something breaks, because with DeShawn, I know I'm taken care of.
