Full featured tech shop on Spadina. I went to get a screen protector replacement for an iPhone 11 Pro. They offer the usual partial cover for $10 and the full coverage one for $15 which is standard in Chinatown. The previous screen protector installed by another Chinatown place on Dundas ended up falling off so I'm hoping this one stays on for a while. Even buying two of these is cheaper than going to BB or Apple Store. Service is quick and efficient giving me just enough time to look around at all the plastic tech junk on offer. What jumped out at me was the keychain fobs for Apple Airtag which I wanted. One alone is $20 at Jump Plus and here they are $5.99 so worthwhile to grab a couple for these new tech gadgets. I put one on my bicycle in case it gets nabbed and dumped down the street I can go run after it. Also useful if you are in a strange neighborhood, or city. This is the place to go if you are looking for a low buck fix on an older phone, just make sure you are clear with exactly what product is being installed on your phone. Get him to show you the packaging and ask questions! read more

Tech Zone - iPhone screen protector $10 or $15 installed - Mobile Phone Repair Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

I find there is no loyalty with Tech Zone. They are not polite and don't care about repeat customers. I don't recommend this store.

Firstly, I went downtown on a Saturday and the hours were wrong. I called and he told me he would open at 11. He showed up at 11:25. I put a down payment on for him to order a backing for my phone of $20. He said it would be in Monday. Monday I called him and he says yes it's in so I said I'll come on Tuesday. Tuesday I show up and he says he ordered the wrong part. I got my refund back. Such a waste of time. read more

First of all the location, clientele and service people are sketchy. My last visit there was a salesman searching gay porn, a client clearly searching for drugs, and the shop owner who ran across the store and began screaming on the street in a foreign language as soon as I entered. I've had my phone screen repaired here twice. Is is an iPhone 10 and the front screen repair cost $60 each time. The first time was successful until after a number of calls, the phone screen cracked. The second time was a complete waste of time and money. I returned to the store three times. The first time, within ten minutes because the touch screen was not working in places. The second time, within two hours because the sound had been disconnected. This time he sqid he may replace the entire screen but I declined because of time constraints. I returned two days later because the screen quality was far below that of the first repair and I was already noticing hairline cracks. The repair person refused to do anything this time so I will not be returning again. read more

Beware, at the moment this looks like a very shady operation and a place you want to avoid run by employees that will be more than keen to take you for a ride. The pattern I have noticed with this place based on my experience and the experience of other reviewers further below is as follows: - the technician at the back never provides a proper printed cash register receipt for any of their repairs, only gives you a nameless business card with the sum, type of repair, and date handwritten on it; anyone could write whatever they wanted on the back of a business card, this is no valid receipt of your payment for their service - the sales clerk in front and the technician at the back will always insist they are separate businesses not connected to each other in any way; they'll insist they only share the shop premises an only happen to know each other because of that; they are the same business though and this is only a tactic they use to cover up for each other - another tactic they use is the 'good cop - bad cop', the person in front always plays a nice card to confuse you and to cover up for anything that might look/ feel suspicious - the cost of repairs and services is always kept low just enough for you to be unable to take it to the small claims court when/if they take you for a ride or scam you, pay attention to this if you have ever used their services, you will see the pattern - they will never provide a printed copy of their return policy on a paper with the business letter head, address, and name of the manager or person you dealt with (try to see for yourself and ask for it...) - if you ask for a copy of their return policy, they will point out a notice to you stuck to the front desk display cabinet - a notice that can be removed, reattached, or altered whenever they wish and as they wish; they will ask you to take a picture of it. It has no name of the business of it though and no address of the business; if you take a picture of it, it will look like a picture of any random notice you could take in any random shop anywhere in the world - to just myself they gave two different time periods for accepting returns: initially he said I have 7 days (this would be illegal, mind you) on my last visit he was much more careful and said I have 2 weeks (this is the legal minimum - pls, note most stores in CA and US will provide much longer period for returns and refunds - they will always try to force store credit over a cash refund, do not be pressured into accepting store credit if that's not what you are happy to accept - their products have no price tags, different sales people will tell you the same product costs different amounts of money based on how much they think they can get; the same goes for their repairs - they have no set price list - their business cards never have the name of any technician, sales clerk or person in charge on them - the instruction booklets and user manuals are missing from the packaging of any knock off or low-quality products that could be faulty - warranty policies are also missing from the packaging of their products - after they've received a review online that's not favourable, they will offer free items such as bracelets to a customer or two in exchange for their 5 star reviews - their negative reviews never appear in the chronological order, the top reviews will always be the cheap, bought 5 stars ones; always scroll down to see the rest of the reviews for the l - they pay close attention to who you are, how many times you have visited, how soon you revisited etc - too close attention perhaps. They will want to remember everything about you and the situation so they can use it to fool you and make you feel like it is you who is in the wrong and they are in the right - he will even remember your voice; when I called on the phone to ask whether they are open that day (the previous day they happened to be closed due to a snow fall) he must have recognised me because he lied to me about their opening times to delay my visit as much as possible and buy himself time (it was 6 pm when I called, he told me they: "close 6:30 today, but usually 7:00"; they are actually open till 9pm every day though, and their website clearly says 9 pm daily as well if you have a look. EDIT: The website closing hours have just changed to 8 pm. : ) They have probably read my new review! Looks like they always change everything as they go along to mess with you and fool/confuse any other readers - familiar to us now behaviour. It feels great to have been able to provide this information. I have been particularly badly treated in this location because I am trusting and it has been very disappointing for me to have read now that many others have had very similar unsatisfactory experiences there as well. For the information of the Tech Zone management to help address these problems with employees responsible: I visited the location on 4 occasions between Dec 28, 2021 Jan 19, 2022 read more

Found a speck of dust in all my pictures. Got my iPhone 5s camera replaced for $35 under 10 minutes! However, I do question the quality of the replacement camera. Focus is not as good but no complaints here. Not gonna pay more than $35 for an old iPhone that's worth $200 max. I went to 3 other places and they said they would charge me $90+. the glorious APPLE STORE said they couldn't even fix it and had to place the entire phone read more

Tech Zone - Mobile Phone Repair Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

This store is a FRAUD. I was replacing my iPhone 7 as the screen has cracked. However, they have changed my entire motherboard and replaced with a second party motherboard. SCAM! read more

On January 12/2021 I made the mistake of purchasing a pair of earphones from Tech Zone on Spadina Ave. After a month they suddenly stopped working. They cost $22.60 with tax . Built in obsolescence is reaching ludicrous extremes as is the retail environment where it plays itself out with employees who try to scam customers into believing that a 2 week warranty is acceptable. CAVEAT EMPTOR -buyer beware. From now on Tech Zone will be a no go Zone for me and hopefully for anyone and everyone else who is sick of retailers who are only interested in keeping your money without acting in good faith. CAVEAT EMPTOR. read more

I had a very bad experience, they basically ruined my phone and lied to me. Less expensive than other places but what is the point?

Went in to get my shattered iPhone 6 screen replaced after researching different repair places in Toronto. It took them about 20 minutes, and only cost $60! It was cash only, but the service was amazing and well-done. I also bought a tempered glass screen cover for $15 (they have ones that cover less of the screen for $10), which was installed promptly and properly in front of me while I waited. Thank you! UPDATE: So as it turns out, the glue wasn't as strong as I originally thought and the phone screen ended up popping up slightly after about six months, as if the battery was swelling and the screen couldn't hold it back (the Genius Bar told me it wasn't a case of the battery swelling - just subpar glue). It could have been worthwhile to bring it back and get it fixed again, but I just opted to go back to the Apple store so I wouldn't have to face another popped up screen. read more

Went there to get my phone screen fixed. When I arrived I was notified that the guy whose fixing the screens wasn't in although I even called in to ask. So, I walked around for an hour and finally went back to the store and got my phone fixed. Costed $45 to fix my shattered screen, and bought a $10 tempered class case. It took about 10 minutes to get it fixed and the watched the man do it. read more

See all

I had bought a mobile cover etc there about 2 years ago, no problem last night I went in the girl behind the counter was talking away in one of the Chinese languages I did not understand, the server kept up the conversation, obviously I was a customer wanting service, after a few minutes I asked her if I could speak to her, "what did I want, I said cover for my phone, what kind of phone in an impatient manner, I had just bought the mobile and was not sure so took it out put it on the counter, I also wanted a case she said "you go over there" pointing towards the left wall, the other girl got into the conversation obviously annoyed that I had interrupted their conversation, found a case, walked back to the service counter and waited again since they had returned to their personal conversation I finally say "excuse me" do I get service here, she reluctantly looked at the phone got out a cover put it on meanwhile they are still talking away to each other !!!! got my bill for $28.25 no problem, however when I got home I realized the cover does not fit completely on my phone wrong type??, a bit frustrating, hence my comments. Very bad manners, and customer service.......I may be 80 years older but expect to be treated with respect. Thanks! read more

Stay Away! For electronic repairs: incompetent and irresponsible. / They damaged my device when doing a simple repair and did not take responsibility for their mistake. / They should simply say No when they can not do a proper job. / Do not go there. Lots of other good repair folks out there. I am giving one Star because I have to - the system will not me post with no stars... read more

Stopped into tech zone today to get my shattered iphone 5s screen replaced. The cost was $50 (cash only) and was done in less than 30 minutes. This was the lowest price I had been quoted and so far the quality is great! read more

Beware, they scammed me! I had a terrible experience and I ended up reporting them for fraud. They installed a knockoff fake screen, instead of a real one, on my Samsung phone after it shattered. The colour was off, tinted slightly green and very dim, the brightness adjustment didn't even work. On top of that my home button was loose and would get stuck underneath the screen. I had to argue with him for at least 20 minutes until he finally agreed to re-adjust the button and install a new screen that did work.. Unfortunately he didn't have more screens so he told me to return the following day for a working screen. I did just that but the new screen also didn't work and I asked him if it was a real samsung screen and he assured me it was. I then decided to get a second opinion from a nearby spot by Dundas and University, called "Ming Wireless". They were able to show me that he installed a fake and faulty screen, as they compared it to the real screens they had. I had them installed the correct screen for me for only $20 more than Tech zone charged and my phone worked perfectly and the colour and brightness was spot on. I went back to Tech zone and the technician admitted it wasn't a real Samsung screen and that he also puts fake screens on laptops and it's no big deal. This is not okay, it's fraud!! Especially after he previously told me that the screens he installed were real. The red flag was that they only take cash and don't give you receipts, unless you ask and he'll write the amount you paid on his business card. I should have known then that it was too sketchy to trust... avoid going here unless you want to pay $125 for a phone "repair" that you will still have to get done somewhere else afterwards. Also when I was waiting for my phone repair the second time, there were 3 others there complaining that their phones stopped working after his repairs. read more

I went in directly without shopping around after reading the good reviews. this place doesn't have a price list to begin with. I was suspicious but still paid 90 bucks to get him to change my iphone 6s plus screen. the screen flickers when I make calls after the fix so I went bck to fix it 2nd time. it only got worse! my phone freezes at times I cant even swipe to turn it off. it also clicks on icons randomly and I have to shut it down to make it back to normal. dont come to this place. I read the reviews thinking it offers good price and decent quality. in fact, its not at all cheaper than other places and ruins your phone! read more

Technician was able to fix my iPhone (smashed screen and wouldn't turn on) super cheap and in about 15-20 minutes. Amazing service & friendly. Sooooo happy!!!! read more

Went to buy a headphone jack splitter. Ended up exchanging the item since it didn't work. The new item didnt work either, so I paid more to get a higher quality one. This one naturally didn't work as well, so I went to return it. When I tried to return it, she said she wouldn't give me my tax back for no specified reason. In addition, she shortchanged me $2 as she didn't consider my original purchase. read more

Horrible phone repair, horrible service. At least it was cheap. Many people were inside complaining when I went to go pick up my phone, I had a bad feeling but paid and left because he had finished repairing it by then. No one acknowledged the people in there to ask why their phones weren't working. They just got stared at until they left. The screen worked for 10 minutes before it went haywire. Opening apps I hadn't touched, keyboard not responding or hyper responding. Now, two days later, it won't turn on at all. Nothing will help it. So, instead of paying full price for a new screen, I have to buy a new phone. BEWARE!! Do not get your screen fixed here!! - I have never left a review for any business in my life, in fact I had to sign up just to leave this review, but this was absolutely horrible business behavior. read more

After seeing other places that wanted $130-$180 to fix a cracked screen on my LG G3, I was happy to find Tech Zone. The repair was done in 30 minutes and works perfectly. All for $85. It is cash only and they didn't provide a receipt - otherwise no complaints. read more

Great service, went down to get my iPhone 6 battery replaced as it kept dying over and over at roughly 40%. Took about 5-10 minutes to replace and only charged me 35$! The guys there even offered to charge my phone for a bit as they installed a completely new battery and it's been a month so far with no issues! I'd give this place 5 batteries out of 5 read more

I would advise no one to shop from here. This store doesn't have fix prices, they make prices as they go. I came to this store to get airpods, the product itself seemed okay & the employee told me they were $100. I didn't have cash that day so I came in few days later & they were sold out but the employee said they were gonna get a shipment in few weeks. Few weeks pass by I called before going to the store & mentioned the price of the airpods( $100) & they said they had them. I go to the store and the employee tells me they were $120. I told him the price was different 2 weeks ago and that I specifically came to this store since I was told they had the product. The employee was stuck on the $120 price. read more

!!DO NOT GET YOUR PHONE REPAIRED HERE!! you will thank me for the warning. I took my iphone 8 plus to get a screen repair as there was a small crack on the screen, i paid $110 so i could get an original glass. After picking up my phone from the shop i noticed that the screen was glitching and the touch screen wouldn't work sometimes, youd have to tap a bunch of times to get it to work. I gave the phone back to the guy and he said he'd get it fixed. I come back the next day and he gives me the phone with a completely blacked out corner on the screen and says i gave him the phone like that. What. The. Fuck. After telling him NO i did not give him the phone like that, he agrees and says he'll get it fixed. We both knew i did not give him the phone with a blacked out screen. I come again the next day, the screen is still black than he than claims, "oh there's water damage you did this i didn't do this". No matter what i said to the guy his brain just could not process that no, i did not give the fucking phone to him like that. The guy was in denial, he broke my phone did his damage, refused to fix it or pay for the repair. Biggest scammers. lost $110 and got back a broken phone, wish i had just spent the fucking money and gone to apple. Please beware, theres no way you can even hold shops like this accountable. Lost my money and my phone. Most depressing shit ever. read more

Just got my broken screen fixed for an iphone 5s from this store. The guy at the end of the store was helpful and cooperative, He even gave me a discount on the quoted price. I got a new screen for $50 and it works perfectly fine till now. Everything that I expected from the store was spot on ! I would surely recommend this store to anyone for getting a cracked/broken screen fixed. read more

long very informative review (read if you think their price is too good to be true, it is): all the reviews on here are true! i did not believe them and went aheead like an idiot and gave this scammer my money! i brought my 6s (i have had it for 3 years) to be fixed 2 weeks ago. after the initial fix ($50) , i checked it. it was ever so slightly laggy, but i assumed this was an iphone issue (its slowed down over the years). literally two days later, the screen got worse. i would text and the words would be messed up because it was not a good screen whatsoever (not the original because he ended up charging me to change it to the original on my 2nd visit). one day later my phone stopped working. it turned on again, and accepted my password, but it was impossible to text, only call. (even calling was impossible at times) i brought it back. i even called ahead and he said he would look at my phone and see whats up! i brought it yesterday, he claims i water damaged my phone. let me remind you, ive had this phone for 3 years. its screen was replaced by apple 2-3 times (in 3 years) , no issue! he opened up my phone, and yes there was a smalll little white patch on the inside which i'm going to guess is water damage (as he claimed). how does my newly fixed phone get water damaged when it hasnt been near water. he claims "oh it rained last week"....did i say i was in the rain. nope. i don't even take my phone into the washroom when i shower, it was never near water after being fixed. so how is it water damaged. the only answer would be humidity! its summer and its hot. how in the world have i had this phone for 3 years (3 hot summers), gotten it fixed 2-3 different times by a good company, yet this time it gets damaged 2 days after your shity fix! he wanted to charge me $40-60! he 'changed his mind' to 'free'...but wait. he put 3 different screens on my phone during the 2nd fix. they did not work. i am telling you.......'brand new' out of the bubble wrap screens did not work. i watched him and his co worker struggle for 2 hours to switch screens. when the screen started to work, the finger scanner didn't work! why would i want to get my 6s fixed to become a 6.....he finally told his coworker that my phone needed 'the original' meaning they use shitty second hand screens then charge u bullshit prices for something that may not work! and if it does it is shit. the original apple screen worked perfectly! he charged me $20 on top of the $50 i paid previously.....mind you i went thru hell without my phone (i work full time and need to communicate a lot to family). i travelled for over two hours via subway, plus i was late to work because they had to try multiple screens on the second fix. he had the adacity to charge me $20 to come fix his shit job..... yes $20 is one hour-two hours pay....thats still my money. hard earned dollars. that hes stealing. he 'fixes' your phone, but that shitty screen in turn causes some other damage. i can prove this again! another girl came in, fixed a iphone plus, i'm not sure what model (6,7 or 8). she got it 'fixed', paid him, and came back 20 minutes later. her phone battery had drained completely to 0. he then claimed something was wrong with her battery, and charged her $50 for a new damn battery! i am telling you this place is a well versed scam! i watched this man charge people $60 for the exact same phone (6s) with a cracked screen (while i was standing right there). please beaware! their warranty covers their ass for pretty much any issue....they claim the screen has a 30 warranty from sk electronics. good luck getting it! he also took the shit screens that didn't work on my phone, and put them right back in the bubble wrap..... also said the f word once. i got sooo frustrated with this man telling me i damaged my phone....when i know for a fact it was not a user issue! my phone is always in huge case so theres no way water seeped in unless it was small humity molecules meaning they did not do a good job or something was defective occurred that allowed humidity to seep into my phone. he got so mad i said the f word once....i was apparently the rudest customer! well guess what, this was the worst and rudest service ever, long wait times, answering calls while handling clients, speaking different languages so you don't know what their saying about you or your product, working on someone elses phone while your standing right there waiting for yours (and you were before that phone, i have watched this with my very eyes. i was in there for 2 hours) charging different cost then their website says (not having a price list), just plain terrible service. its so plain as day i could not believe i even step foot in that place. then the audacity to tell me hes filming me...i didnt touch the man, i was upset he wanted to charge me again over his shit. one f bomb doesnt make me a terrible person, he even had me 'say sorry' and take back what i said like i was a child or something! read more

Phone repair service was quick and affordable but the phone accessories sales staff gives different pricing depending on who you ask.

I was wary of this place just because it seemed like the things they sold could be bad quality, and I wasn't sure of the quality of the repair. But, it proved me wrong and I will go back if I ever need to fix my phone again. I got my iPhone 6 battery replaced quickly in 30 mins, for $40. It's been a few months and my battery is as good as new. I also bought an iRing-like thing for my phone, which works really well too. Finally, i got a USB plug in, which although had slightly sketchy Apple inspired packaging, works fine. Would recommend this store for phone accessories and repair! read more
