My phone have a problem with loading. After this service my phone completely broken. This service charges money even for attempting to repair, even if the attempt fails. In the end, they broke the phone and even charged money for it.

From severely cracked screen to this.

My family and I were walking around the mall after leaving the Apple store. We had gone there to see various options for my cracked iPad screen. Unfortunately, the options weren't cheap, but I considered them. That is until my husband pointed out Tech Defense, and decided to go in and ask how much it would be to replace my screen. He called, told me the price, and I reluctantly said yes. Exactly two hours later (as initially stated by the owner), the iPad was completed, and I was pleasantly surprised with the final result. I wish I had a before picture to show you how damaged the screen was. I do, however, have an after. You cannot see that it was ever damaged, and it works great.

Irma is very disrespectful and has poor customer service. She was very rude and not so helpful. Not sure why she has a job there.

I have a friend who is very bad with phones. Throws his smart phones around like they were the old…read morebrick phones (he's too young to remember those too). On multiple occasions he's called me from random #'s asking me to Zelle him some cash because he can't afford to get his phone fixed, so that's why when my phone charging port failed I knew exactly where to go. I've been on Android & Samsung for 13 years never having had an issue other than loss. So when my S24 Ultra USB-C Port got loose I was thinking of just upgrading, but having lost some key features when they released the S25 Ultra I decided to repair. Phone was at 15% and was taking 3 hrs to charge via wireless and I needed my phone for work the next day (4PM thursday). I called ahead and they said $125 without knowing what model/brand. Showed up and James quoted hour and a half which was perfect as they closed at 7 and had the port in stock. They can sure fix the easy stuff, but when I asked about cases and accessories they pretty much only carry Iphone and the latest models from other brands S24 Ultra is a flagship phone. Service was great, but my screen protector was bubbled from when they removed the glass. Not a big deal, but I wish they had my brand/model for a replacement. While i was browsing I heard James interacting with another customer which gave me pause as he didn't seem to have any sympathy for them wanting to save an old phone which had pictures that were priceless to them. Loss of a star for that. Haven't had any issues since and I'll likely return if I ever have need for repair not through my insurance.

I've known Anthony since 2014, and he's always been someone I can trust when it comes to…read moreelectronics repairs! He's helped me out multiple times over the years, most recently replacing my iPhone battery, front screen, and installing screen protectors. Anthony is knowledgeable, professional, and takes pride in his work. It's great to see him continuing to grow his business with Swift Repairs. Whether you need a simple screen protector or a more involved repair, I highly recommend checking him out. Definitely someone I trust with my devices!

I am incredibly disappointed with how this shop handles pricing and communication. I reached out on…read moreYelp asking for a quote to replace the display on my MacBook Pro 14" (Model A2442). They explicitly gave me a flat price of $499 for a display replacement. Based entirely on that number, I took the time out of my day to drive down, drop off my machine, and pay a non-refundable $30 diagnostic fee. However, once they had my laptop completely disassembled on their workbench, the price suddenly jumped by $100 to a new quote of $599. When I questioned why the price changed from their written quote, they claimed that the initial $499 price was actually only for a "B-Grade" used screen with scuffs and scratches on the outer casing. If I wanted a normal-looking, flawless screen ("A-Grade"), I had to pay the higher premium. They had my exact model number from the very first text. Withholding information about different "grades" of used parts until a customer's laptop is already taken apart in your shop is a highly deceptive business practice. Had they been transparent upfront that a standard screen replacement would cost $599, I would have opted to go to the Apple Store instead of wasting my time and money here. I paid the $30 fee just to get my laptop put back together and returned to me. Go to Apple or a more transparent shop that honors their initial quotes.
