I brought in my Apple MacBook for repair, initially with some apprehension, as I understood your primary focus to be mobile phone devices rather than personal computers.

Their proficiency, even beyond what I perceived as the main scope of your services, was truly remarkable. I was particularly impressed by both the high caliber of service and the remarkable efficiency with which the repair was completed. The prompt turnaround time was greatly appreciated and minimized any inconvenience.

A little over a week ago, my cat decided to water test my laptop. Long story short, a glass of water spilled into (!) my laptop. The laptop sat immersed in this pool of water for nearly 20 hours. Everything was complete toast. Although most of my files are in the cloud, especially the most important ones, I decided there might be the occasional file or folder that I might not notice tomorrow or even a year from now. I decided it would be best to retrieve the contents of the drive on the laptop for peace of mind. I left the laptop with them to do an assessment first. That assessment was ~$80. After their assessment, they indicated that the contents of the drive were retrievable and gave me an estimate of $400 to retrieve the contents of the drive (the $80 would apply to that figure). I decided it was worth the cost, if for nothing more than that elusive peace of mind. I also needed a drive to put the contents on (or provide my own). Since I didn't have one, and didn't want to bother with purchasing a 3rd party drive, they charged me $140 for a Toshiba Portable Storage device. So, for about $600 (w/ tax) I got everything off the lost drive. Was it worth it? Without a doubt. Would I go back? Hell yeah.

They make it next to impossible to connect with anyone from just trying to find them on Roosevelt to no one answering the phone when you call them repeatedly just to make an appointment.

After replacement my girlfriend and I started noticing condensation both front and back camera lenses that eventually led to the phone randomly turning off. Tried troubleshooting but unable to turn phone on. Took it to another third party phone repair shop for diagnosis and was told whoever did the replacement left the inside messy and the screen connection was loose. The repair guy was able to bring the phone back to life during diagnosis but the screen was flickering. He recommended to take it back to where it was originally repaired. Drove back to Redmond and explained the situation. Employee said it will be about 2 hours to take a look and will call/text when ready. Okay cool. So we waited 2 hours and when we came back and he asked did you receive a text. I said it was already the 2 hour mark... The one hour device repair guy then explained the screen connection is corroded and proceeded to show a picture on his phone of the corrosion. He suggested we must've dropped it in water. So now I'm thinking, how can a connection be corroded internally if this phone is water resistant and the phone had these problems AFTER the repair? Even so, we NEVER exposed it directly to any source of liquid since the time of initial repair. Even if we did, shouldn't it NOT have this issue anyway? Also we NEVER received any document or signed anything acknowledging of any potential risks after repair. I asked the repair guy what are our options. He said he can order the screen replacement and have it done on Wednesday. I asked him if this was going to be charged. He said yes. I said no. He said call the number for "headquarters". I called and no one picked up. We left and on the drive home the number from "headquarters" calls us. I explained the situation again to "headquarters" guy and asked for what are our options. He said we'd have to pay $309. I said no. He said let me place you on hold and call the repair guy in Redmond. We waited on hold for a bit. He comes back and says the corrosion is from water damage. I'm thinking what is this guy trying to imply? We continued to have a back and forth until he relents and says I can do it for $209. I said no thanks. That is literally the cost of a replacement phone adding both repair costs. Honestly I was livid after this conversation. Not only was there zero accountability from their end, but they tried to shift blame on the customer for using their phone normally. TLDR: Please make sure you are aware the risks of getting anything repaired from this business. It might make more sense buying a replacement instead.

With careless prudence, I watched some YouTubes and attempted to retrieve the data myself (I even used a magnetic bit on the screws) - FAIL! My wife was in a panic and I was in whatever is beyond the dog house. When I saw that Ace had a Seattle location, I liked the idea of hand-delivering my precious drive (the first place I found was in Canada). I called Ace and was told to ship it to their Texas location since that is where their clean room is located. I appreciated their upfront reasonable/competitive pricing, and sense that they had a team who knew what they were doing and who were capable of salvaging our digital memories. So, I trusted my failed drive to FedEx with the maximum allowable insurance. Ace let me know when they received it, e-mailed me with their findings and their plan. I called the technician to discuss/confirm the plan. Ultimately, Ace recovered EVERYTHING and sent our data back to us on a new external hard drive (and included our old one as well)! I was a little miffed that they sent it USPS with only $50 insurance, but then learned that they keep the electronic data for 5 days in case something goes wrong in the return shipment. BRILLIANT! I don't plan to ever need their services again, but if I do, Ace is the place!
