This place was pretty unprofessional but they had low priced promo deals and eventually did repair my cracked iPhone screen, although they used poor quality replacement parts.
Here's the detailed story:
I needed my iPhone screen repaired and, fortunately, my wife found a Groupon for Tech Stop offering 50% off.
I called and made an appointment, but when I drove 30 mins to get there for my scheduled appt., they said they didn't get their screen shipment in from China, and they had "lost my number" so they could not notify me. Grrrr. Ok, I'm a laid back guy, no biggie, lets reschedule. They lost 1 star because they wasted my time, of course.
When I am finally able to bring my phone in for the 2nd appointment, I called before leaving to confirm that they did in fact have the screens in stock, and to verify how long it would take. They said they had screens and it shall take 45-60 mins. Great! So I planned my outing accordingly to maximize my time.
I get there and the girl was clearly not trained to deal with people (she was raised by wildebeests or so it seemed by her lack of knowledge of the most basic, obvious customer service skills). Anyway... Minus another star for untrained employees.
She now informs me that it would take "60 minutes, 75 at the latest." Okay? Actually, I expected something like that to happen and planned for it anyway so no big deal. I left and returned 90 minutes later to allow more than enough time to finish. Smart, right? No, they are still not done. I waited around for an additional 30 minutes before she finally gave my phone back. They just lost another star. But no more cracked screen-- I am happy to have my phone back!
Oh but wait-- sadly, there were a few issues.
The new screen is a different color, grey instead of black, which only really matters outside, in bright sunlight, it's much harder to see the screen.
Also the new screen they put in drains the battery life EXTREMELY Fast. It's crazy. I think they must use super cheap, low quality replacement parts.
Oh, and last but not least, I got it home and was cleaning my screen, but there were these stubborn fingerprints on the glass would NOT come off! I scrubbed and scrubbed. Finally I realize-- they are UNDER the glass screen! She didn't remove her prints or wear gloves before installing the replacement screen. Face-palm. Seriously? Minus another star.
So the 2 star rating is for the super low price (otherwise they would only get 1 star). read more
