This business continues to act unethically (Please see my previous review and the owner's comments, which include a violation of Yelp's Terms of Service, which have been reported). Be warned. DO NOT use them. Indeed they DO use shoddy, malfunctioning parts that will damage your iPhone (scroll through other reviews and see some of the same issues), as confirmed by the Apple Store. And AmEx refunded me in full, due to my documentation of Synergy Tech's faulty, harmful service (and that company's protection of the customer, something from which Synergy Tech could learn volumes).
Also scroll down and see the kind of "customer service" shown by Synergy Tech in the company's replies to critical reviews. Do you really want to give money to a company that endorses such baseless behavior (in addition to having the company make your phone worse)?
I have reported the owner to Yelp or violating its terms of service and posting contact information for its patrons in my comment (And I will be contacting a lawyer as well). EDITED TO ADD: Yelp acts more professionally than Synergy Tech as well. It has enforced its TOS and redacted Synergy Tech's inclusion of this information, which is a violation). In addition, Synergy Tech decided to post an email I sent to the company (to which the company never responded)...but cut out large portions (EDITED TO ADD: Yelp smartly forced the redaction of this truncated email as well). However, here is the FULL, accurate, and unedited (by the business) email text, sent to the company October 11, 2017. Please note that Synergy Tech never deigned to reply to the email:

Dear Brandy,
I just received your voice mail (to my email). I'm not able to call since I am sitting in (hours of) auditions in upstate New York at the Glimmerglass Festival. Additionally, cell service is poor here.
Yes, I disputed the charge and unless it's simply refunded by you, I know of no other action. While the replaced screen LOOKED fine, it has simply proven to be not Apple quality and definitely does not allow for normal operation when it comes to scrolling and typing (and also acts different when in the sun). I'm beyond frustrated since your service was nice and polite. But it is simply not working at any sort of normal and expected level now. I have already made an appointment with the Apple Store in NYC to have this taken off and replaced with something that will work as expected (I've had a screen on a previous phone replaced by Apple and it was superior and worked just fine after).
And it's not just me. I handed my phone to someone last night so she could look at something and when scrolling, her response was, "What's wrong with your phone, that's bizarre." She also had trouble with finger movements to zoom.
Had I any idea that the phone would perform so poorly after a replacement at a non-Apple store, I would have simply risked cutting my fingers and waited until I was back in NYC. I'm gone from Santa Fe now and I simply want my money back so that I can use it to replace the screen again, but this time in a satisfactory manner. Since I am no longer there, I used AmEx as my best resource.
All best,
Kristin
Again, I have reported these actions to Yelp and am speaking with a lawyer, following this violation of the Terms of Service.
If you care even the slightest about a) your phone working and b) customer service provided by decent, capable human beings using good, working parts, AVOID SYNERGY TECH!!! read more
