Hooray for Techbytes - saviours of phones, laptops, PCs and even GHD straighteners!
In my good 18(?) years of owning a mobile phone I have never once smashed or broken one. Rewind to Saturday and I'm afraid to say my perfect record was smashed to pieces. Literally. My iPhone screen resembled a spiderweb made by a very drunk spider. I asked my friends if they had any recommendations and Techbytes was highly thought of.
I phoned them at the start of the week and they ordered in a screen. They also gave me a quote of £55 for the repair which is incredible considering the standard rate seems to be around £90. I managed to get down today at lunch time and they promised me it'd be back in my hands for half 3 at the latest. How great is that? No faffing, no missing limb feeling. Simply, pop back later and it'll be ready.
I went back down at half 3 to get it. This is where they could have lost a star. The location is right on Duke Street and given the time of day and torrential rain it was horrendous to get back to. There is plenty of parking available at this time, just an awful lot of traffic not moving too. I parked and went in to be reunited with my newly patched up phone.
The man who served me seemed friendly and noted he'd thrown on a free screen protector too. I don't know if this is a nice customer service thing or a wee joke about being more careful next time, but I'd like to think it's the latter. I had a wee chuckle at my shiny new protected screen. Service paid for and off I went to wait in more stand still traffic. I honestly couldn't remove a star simply because of the location though. The friendliness and efficiency of the staff, the super cheap cost and bonus screen protector all merit 5 stars. If I ever have any other IT issues I'll definitely be entrusting Techbytes to solve them. read more
