Do NOT do business with these people. That's all I can advise after getting a month and a half of run-around and finally being delivered only a half-fixed device. They are uncommunicative, unlicensed, and they will promise what they can't fulfill. And when it comes time to hand back your device, they will make up a lame excuse and blame all future problems on it. Do NOT work with these people, seek out someone who is licensed.

The full story: I was given a Lenovo Miix Z8350 for Christmas, which is a 2-in-1 laptop and tablet. Shortly after getting it I dropped it and the screen went black. The computer was fine otherwise besides the screen going black, and would even display when using the mini-HDMI. My first stop was to Geek Squad, where they confirmed nothing was wrong with the computer, it just needed a new screen, which I would have to go to another place for.
Enter Tech Repairz. They tell me they can fix the screen, and that it will take "a few days." I hand it off feeling good. A week later, there has been no word, so I call in, and they have no new information, other than that the part is being ordered.
Two more weeks go by. I call every week to check in, and find out they are ordering my part from some unofficial, 3rd-party manufacturer in China, and their workers are on holiday, so that's the reason for the delay. After 3 weeks I finally get my laptop returned to me. When I get it they warn me that they noticed "motherboard damage" and if I have any more problems there's nothing they can do.
On first glance, it seems to be fixed, so I excuse the "few days" turning into a few weeks and walk out the store. But once I get home, I noticed two issues. First, the screen wasn't even fully installed, and is partially removed from it's socket in the upper left corner. Second, the touch screen is broken. Touching in the bottom-left corner of the screen makes it think I was touching in the bottom-right, as if the screen was rotated. I tried all kinds of solutions through the OS, but to no avail. Back to Tech Repairz I go.
When I return, they tell me they'll take a look at it, but it is probably due to the motherboard and there will be nothing they can do, but they'll at least put the screen back into place.
Another week and a half and no call. At this point I am thoroughly fed up with the waiting game and the lack of communication. I return to the store and find out they "looked at it" but there was nothing they could do. The screen was not even adjusted back into place, it was in the exact same condition I left it in. I asked for a refund, but they don't do refunds, and I was shooed out the store, blaming everything on me and my "motherboard problem."
All of this felt pretty shady, so I brought my laptop back to Geek Squad, who originally diagnosed the issue. They agreed that I probably had one pulled over on me. They told me what I should have done is gone to a licensed dealer of Lenovo parts at Computer Corner or Sandia Computers, and that the part they ordered was probably not even meant for my device. They agreed that the "motherboard issue" was bull, and just an excuse to get out of their mistake.
tl;dr: I have learned my lesson to never work with these people again, and seek out licensed dealers in the future. These guys are dishonest cheapskates. Do NOT work with Tech Repairz. read more
