Arrive after work at 3:45p for a 4:00pm pre-schedule appointment. One person in front of me getting helped until after 4:00pm. No problem I waited. Finally get seen, give my phone number and explain the issue (SD card read broke in SD card slot of a 2021 macbook pro. You'd think this be either a simple precision tweezer job OR bottom unscrew cover to pop out the broken sd card tray... Nope...front desk guy take the laptop in back from 10 minutes, I hear him correctly explaining the situation to the tech in back. When he comes back out he explains it's a complex issue that requires many parts removed....ummm ok... I ask him the cost....Well $400 but if I pay for their cancel any time $59 per month service plan it will only be $250 (or $309)..... For an SD card reader plastic to be removed....insane. I'll go buy precision tweezers or macbook pro bits and do the removal myself. I came in here expecting to drop $50-$100 at most but shocked to hear 4x that. read more

uBreakiFix (by Asurion) told me I should buy the Asurion home protection plan and it would cover my laptop if they were unable to repair it. Turns out this was 100% false and Asurion repeatedly denied my claim citing "pre-existing condition". I did exactly what I was told and this scam program stuck it to me. Stuck on a merry-go-round for several months and no working laptop, I ended up canceling the plan and demanding a refund for the months they had charged me while giving me the run around! Zero stars. read more

Daniel - was considerate and great at managing the office by himself!! He has great respect for the customer. Great service ! read more

Negative stars if I could!!! This place is such a SCAM! I've spent the last 5 days submitting and resubmitting claims to get my computer fixed and they keep getting denied for the most ridiculous reasons saying the information dosen't match, or they don't cover laptops (which they do). I've submitted 7 times having to call each time to figure out why, only to have it denied AGAIN! It's such a waste of time, keep in mind you have to confirm your identity and fill out a form and send a bunch of pictures EACH time! I'm amazed this place has so many positive reviews.... read more

My phone wasn't charging. I stopped in to get it repaired. The gentleman at the counter said it probably just need to be cleaned. He took the phone, cleaned it out and I was on my way in less than 5 minutes. Thanks for the great service! read more

For the most part this place did a great job. I have a Z flip 5 and the screen protector was slipping off. I already brought the phone to the San Clemente location and they really did not know what they were doing down there. This place looked it up and the San Clemente location was slipping important steps when applying the protector. Avoid the San Clemente location! But this location in Lake Forest did things right and by the book. I had it replaced about a month ago now and it's holding up great! And not only that, but they typically charge less than the San Clemente location. Also they did my repair for free as it was still in the warranty period. The reason I am giving the place 4 stars instead of 5 is because of the lady with the nose ring who works the front desk. She is in a word: awful. They need to get rid of her and I'm not the first reviewer to say so. She's abrasive, has zero customer service skills, and really doesn't seem happy with her job. The best thing she did for me was get her manager and he took care of things from then on. read more

This location is a "Certified Samsung Technician" and is advertised to fix Samsung phone screens in 2 hours or less. After cracking my phone screen, I was elated to find someplace to fix it so quickly, and booked an appointment directly from Samsung's website for the next day at 10:30am. I showed up early, and was told they didn't have my phone's color in stock and that it would take 3 hours (in both cases: good enough for me!) and to come pick up my phone after 1pm. Here's the problem: when I drove back (at 2pm), I was told the phone wasn't ready. In fact, they hadn't even started working on it. Not only that, but it wouldn't be ready for another hour at least. Furthermore, the price was $150 MORE expensive than the advertised price on Samsung's website. Overall... this was drastically more expensive and time consuming than advertised, even with a scheduled appointment. Also: they bribe their customers for 5-star reviews by offering a free screen protector. Very dishonest. read more

The lady & gentlemen that were there were super kind and helped us out so much, even though that's their job were extremely grateful for their help! Thanks guys read more

Went to get a screen protector put on my samsung galaxy fold5. They did a great job..

No AC on during the summer to save money and cause customers to sweat. Not very nice or knowledgeable

S22 Samsung Ultra was having USB charging and audio issues. After trying other places could not fix it, but this location and Company did a wonderful job and it worked. Friendly staff, reliable time frames, nothing but good experience. Wishing them lots of success. Thank you guys! read more

The customer service of this store is the worst. The lady who attended is rude and racist I don't even let it explode that my cell phone had and then her rude way of talking and answering me. He refused to give me his name. I spoke tomorrow with at&t IT services who diagnosed my cellphone possible dano in mother mode of the cell phone and sent me to this store. where they did nothing to solve the problem. I asked to talk to the store's incarcade person who Adam refused to give me the lady's name. Similarly, Adam did nothing after saying that he was going to check my cellphone and it would take 15 to 20 minutes and I only passed less than minutes, he went out and said that my cellphone had no problem. This lady still disrespected me, she threaten to call the police because I want to make a complaint and ask for her name. read more

When I dropped off the PS5 controller to get checked for a drifting analog stick I was quoted $30 to clean the controller in hopes that it would fix the problem. The second step was to replace the analog stick that would cost an additional $79. The cost to buy a new controller is $60. Why would you charge more than the cost to replace an item. The service was also terrible. I dropped it off on a Saturday morning. I was supposed to receive a call within 2 hours. I didn't receive a call that day. I tried to call that afternoon l, but no answer. They are closed on Sunday. So I called again Monday afternoon and my call went unanswered again. So I drove there to get a status on the controller. When I got to the store the door was propped open, lights were off, and no one was manning the front desk. I had to yell for someone to acknowledge I was there. The person that came out was not in a uniform. They came out in a dirty shirt, gym shorts and flip flops. I further found out that my device hadn't even been touched since I dropped it off. read more

My recent encounter with Computer Place Ubreakifix was nothing short of a nightmare. Initially, I sought their expertise to address a seemingly simple issue: fixing or replacing my device's screen. However, what followed was a cascade of mishaps and frustrations. Upon receiving my device back, I quickly realized that the "replacement" screen they installed was plagued with issues, rendering it practically unusable. To compound matters, during the repair process, they managed to damage my logic board, a critical component of the device. Despite their assurances to rectify the situation, subsequent visits only exacerbated the problem. In a desperate attempt to salvage the situation, they replaced the logic board not once, but twice. Regrettably, each replacement failed to resolve the underlying issues. Adding insult to injury, the touch ID functionality, integral to the device's security features, ceased to function altogether. As if that weren't enough, the final blow came when the device's battery refused to hold a charge, leaving me with a device that was not only dysfunctional but also virtually unusable. The frustration and inconvenience caused by this ordeal are immeasurable. In addition to the litany of issues I encountered with Computer Place Ubreakifix, their lack of accountability and disregard for customer satisfaction reached new lows when they offered to buy back my device for a mere 10% of what I initially paid for it. This insulting offer only served to underscore their incompetence and unwillingness to take responsibility for their mistakes. To make matters worse, not only did I endure the frustration of dealing with a malfunctioning device, but I also discovered that vital files stored on the device were inaccessible due to their mishandling of the repair process. The loss of these files has had a significant impact on my work and personal life, further highlighting the extent of their negligence and incompetence. In light of these egregious shortcomings, I cannot in good conscience recommend Computer Place Ubreakifix to anyone seeking reliable and competent repair services. My experience serves as a cautionary tale against entrusting them with valuable devices and personal data. my experience with Computer Place Ubreakifix and Asurion was characterized by incompetence, poor workmanship, and a blatant disregard for customer satisfaction. I would caution anyone considering their services to proceed with extreme caution or, better yet, seek alternative options. This establishment has not only failed to fulfill its promises but has also left me with a device that is now in worse condition than when I initially sought their assistance. Stay away from this place read more

Anthony and Minh were the techs that helped me. They expedited the service and explained everything well. I would recommend this location.

Jacob provided excellent service. Would definitely come back again. He was quick and very nice talking to.

Eveything went well everyone is helpful I will come back to this location I will bring more people back

Horrible... I took my laptop to replace the 'touchscreen' on it and they replaced it with a regular one TWICE! Even spoke with Oscar the manager before the second time and still got a regular screen. I called Assuran and apparently the store didn't even mark the claim as 'done'. I have to back for a third time.... Beyond incompetent. read more

Installed a new screen into my Google pixel badly. In a week it just fell out and broke.

Absolutely horrible, broke my Xbox series x and provided no compensation. Workers were super rude and disrespectful. Will never ever return this place is absolutely the worst place for a repair. Simple fix takes days and they lie and say it'll be quicker. Scam company and corporate greed, no intention of giving you quick and supportive service. Breaks your product more and charges u for the problem. Wreckless repairs slow wait time and horrible customer service. If I can give negative stars I'd give -10000. This place is horrible read more

Anthony helped us and fixed our phone within 3 minutes. Just needed a simple clean up. Very nice, friendly and helpful.

I had a broken screen on my phone and Josh(?) and the folks at this store fixed it in less than 1 hour after quoting 2 hours but I do believe that some of their practices are a tad questionable. Allow me to explain... I only had a broken front screen however was told that per Samsungs policy they were required to replace the back of the phone too a $140 charge (but wait there's more)... if I signed up for a $25 a month fixit program I could get the unbroken back replaced for free. Just seems a little shady to be a store that has to replace something that isn't broken especially for a phone that I told them was just going to be returned to the nearby Verizon store as a trade in. The fact that in this day and age they would pull some scheme like that is beyond me. I am only giving it two stars because the person who replaced the screen did so in a very timely manner and was probably just parroting some backwards company policy while being monitored by HQ. I'd give the employees 5 stars for fixing the screen quickly but the company they work for shouldn't try to have customers pay for something that doesn't need to be fixed - plain and simple. read more

HORRIBLE EXPERIENCE! I made an appointment with Verizon a week in advance because my it wasn't keeping a charge long enough. The only female who helped me sent me away because she couldn't find my order. It took quite some time to convince her otherwise and to get the manager out to finally find it. When i returned after 3 hours the not only couldn't fix it but they damaged it more because the screen went blank. and told me I'll receive a replacement the following day via UPS. I didn't get the delivery and called then to ask if they can give me a tracking number. They said it's not their responsibility and to call my carrier so I did and was told by Verizon that Asurion never put an order in and I had to start all over again. What a waste day! They made so many careless mistakes and the female at the desk could care less about me. I watched her treat a mom and her little girl (who couldn't speak English) poorly. She basically didn't care about helping her with her cracked screen and sent her out the door with not a care at all. I've been without a phone for 2 days now and my sibling is in the hospital and I have no way to communicate with my family nor the doctors. I'm really stressed and they made my experience just HORRIBLE! read more

Came here to pick up a repaired item today Monday at noon. The store is locked up and no one is at the store and have been calling for 2 hours and no one is answering the phone. No sign posted as to what is going on. read more

Great service! Super fast and easy, got my phone back in 30 min, from screen was replaced

I went in to get a free screen protector thru the samsung warranty for my samsung flip 6 and was assited by Carlos. Carlos confirmed the warranty was still in effect and said to return in 6 hours to pick up my phone. When I returned I waited an additional hour and Carlos assisted another customer that arrived after me. When he returned my phone the screen protector had some blemishes after it was replaced and he stated he could only try once more but could not guarantee he would do any better. Carlos then tried to charge me for the screen protector and I had to remind him I should not be charged. He asked for my phone back stating he needed to follow up with samsung before he could release the phone to me. I waited another 15 min until he returned my phone. Carlos did not have the common curtousey to take my phone out of maintenance mode when he handed it back to me, I did not realize this until I got home. While I understand he was the only tech there with trainees, I can see why there is such a high turn over at this location based on my experience today. read more

Brought my phone in for an insurance claim to replace a cracked screen. Went back 2 hours later, and I was told they broke the back cover during the repair. They didn't have the black one in stock, so they couldn't replace it and couldn't order it from Samsung as well. They offered if I either wanted the pink or white cover instead.... I declined!!! I asked him what other options I had, and they said I needed to check in with them next week to see if it's in stock. They didn't offer any other resolution. Horrible customer service!!!! I ended up calling Asurion customer service and they resolved the issue to my satisfaction. read more

Terrible customer service by the manager at the facility. Got a ticket open through Samsung to repair my phone. After going there twice since they had to order parts. He indicated that he had to close the ticket without explanation why. Brushed me off saying he had another person waiting behind me. Told me to contact Samsung for a replacement. Rude and unprofessional. Samsung should not be using them as an authorized service Center. Will need to go through Samsung to get a new phone since their authorized service Center will not honor their ticket to fix it. read more

My husband dropped his google pixel phone on the sidewalk this past weekend and the screen completely was destroyed but was still in tact. He called them and spoke with a knowledgeable employee who advised very probable the phone could be fixed. He took it Monday and I believe it was ready in about 4 hours. It works fantastically and price was reasonable. Sure beats having to replace it. read more

Place is a scam. Jorge knew I was on my lunch break and was in a rush. Sprint/Google did a several diagnostic test and told me I had warranty to take it to UBreakIFix and it would be free since it wasn't water damaged, screen wasn't cracked, no scratches ( I had a screen protector AND otter box). Tell me why Jorge told me that the "screen was lifted" that maybe the battery was defected. I couldn't tell the difference but he continued to inspect the phone and didn't mention anything about a crack screen or scratches on the phone. Jorge told me it would take a day or two to diagnose and they would call me when it was ready. Dropped the phone of Tuesday October 22nd around noon. Anyways I sign the receipt without looking "condition notes" and disclosures because I was on my lunch and needed to drive back to Mission Viejo and TRUSTED Jorge since he didn't mention about any visible damage. I get back to work and look at the receipt and look at the condition notes and it mentions " good . Minor amounts of physical damage visible. (Cracked glass for instance). Regular use cosmetic wear (minor scratches, scuffs, dents in more than 5 areas) " WTFFFFFFFF! This is bullshit because I had a screen protector and otter box case sinye day I got it. Not to mention I ONLY had the phone for 3months. Google told me it was probably just defected phone. The reason why I went in to get my phone replaced was because my screen was black. It was still on because I could feel it vibrate. On top of that they wanted to charge me $55. It's Friday and I still don't hear from them. So , I called them around 11am. The person who answered the phone said my phone was ready since Wednesday. Wasn't sure why no one called me. Whatever. I asked what was the problem. He told me that they replaced the screen and that my phone works again. That I had to pay for the screen replacement. EXCUSE ME! First of all I have warranty (SCAM) second, why didn't anyone call me before replacing the screen? What if I didn't have warranty and couldn't pay the $200+tax for the screen? (SCAMMMMMM) He apologized but said he wasn't the person who made the service request. I drive to the location around 1pm. Pick up my phone and told them i wasn't paying for anything since I have warranty. He looked into it and tells me I don't have to pay anything. So ,if I didn't have warranty I would have had to pay $55+over $200= SCAM! THIS IS NOT HOW YOU CONDUCT BUSINESS. Next time I will read the entire receipt since you can't trust them to be honest with their clients. I wish I could give it 0 stars but the 1 star will be for my dumbass not reading the entire receipt. read more

I had a Google phone that was still under warranty and was told by the Google rep my repair would be covered. I made an appointment here and was told that since the screen has a crack in it it is no longer eligible for warranty and I would have to pay $139.99 out of pocket. I went home to think about it and returned the next day. This time I had a $10 off email coupon that I showed them and they said the cost was now $149.99, don't understand how the price went up $10 in one day. They then said they would honor the price from yesterday, but that I couldn't use my $10 off coupon which made no sense to me. Seems kind of like a shady business practice, they even have the offer on their Yelp page but I guess they don't want to honor it. Overall my screen was replaced and my phone was good to go, but just note that you can't use any coupons at this location. My repair was estimated to take 3-4 hours and ended up taking a little over 4 hours. read more

My galaxy z flip 3 5g started off with a couple spots which was annoying but bareable... And then eventually got to the point of which I couldn't use my phone. Anyhow. I went to best buy recommended as a nearby place to repair and they didn't have the part and told. Me bring it to Glendale Samsung store. .. So the next day I traveled about 1 hour and 15 minutes in traffic to be there at 5:40 and I was rudely turned down as soon as I walked 5ft into the store. Said they took the last walk in at 6pm lol the guy must have not liked me probably reminded him of someone who was having an affair with his lady who knows? ... But he Didn't offer to even take my phone over night and said it would be too much paperwork to do and to bring it back tomorrow... He said to try the Palo alto store I looked it up and its 3 hours away. Homie had sarcastic jokes too. I was completely done with Samsung as I called corporate and not a thing was done... I went to another asurion store in orange they were really cool and nice there too but they didn't have the part for my phone and they said to try lake. Forest and I am glad I did because Josh and Adam took care of business and were friendly.. They closed at 7 and they tried to get my phone back to me before they closed but since I called Samsung and was about to mail it in, and since I had a ticket with mail in they couldn't run diagnostics and had to get it the next day... But they have gone beyond expectations and are best to have this done within a hour technically I will always be a repeat customer here because of them. Before I arrived here though I had given up kinda and I went to the this store just because my girlfriend said just try what do we have to lose.im glad I did... Samsung can thank this store and these gentlemen for keeping me as a Samsung customer because I was done after how I was treated at their store in Glendale. Thank you guys for fixing my screen this phone was given to me as a gift from my father who passed a month after he gave it to me... I don't remember the last time he got me a gift previously but this phone means alot to me Samsung needs to clean house in Glendale and have Josh and Adam train or school their employees... If you can clone these guys and have an army of Joshs and Adam's it will take Samsung to another level.... because damn if that's who represents their company over there in Glendale that clown who claimed he was the manager I can imagine how many more people got done dirty like I did... Thank you again guys and thank you for the quality customer service that's how we do in the red white and blue. I was always taught by my father whatever you do be the best at it and take pride in your work that's the American way. One last sentence to Samsung and their store in Glendale CA Go take Alejandro or whatever that clowns name is and put him in a time machine back to 1980 and put him where he belongs selling used cars in a clown suit not your phones tvs or whatever else you guys have at the store there in Glendale... Hopefully they read this. A++++++++ to Asurion Lake Forest 1,000,000 x read more

Brought my Samsung Galaxy zFlip3 for a screen repair. Screen repair went great... But my front camera was damage during repair. I didn't notice the camera was damaged until after I picked it up and moved on with my day. Once I noticed, I contacted the store and after a couple conversations they ultimately rush ordered me a new camera and replaced it the next morning. Eric, Adam and Kevin were great and helpful with solving my problems. Tiquana at Asurion HQ was amazing as well. Thank you for making my phone as good as new again! read more

Brought my 2-month-old phone in for 3pm appointment on Tuesday to have a dead screen replaced under Samsung warranty. Front desk person was very friendly and easy to chat with. Work was promised for completion by end of the day. Unlock PIN was required due to diagnostic tests needing to be performed, and after I got the okay from my manager to do so, I shared that code after our company sent commands to the phone to enable enhanced logging to track any access and actions performed. My job is in IT Security and so our team is under even greater scrutiny by our employer. Due to company policy, I cannot share or comment on what the logs recorded, whether data was accessed or not. Have your phone's IMEI available for quicker service. Online repair tracking portal was provided on the receipt, but I found it was never updated, and so do not rely on it telling you whether the phone was being worked on or what its current status was. Returned to the store at 545p prior to their new 6p closing time, and phone was being reassembled. I was asked to wait another 15 mins for diagnostics to finish. Was informed at 610p that there was an issue with one of the tests (water pressure) and they were trying to figure out why it failed. At 650p, phone finished and was handed over by a friendly technician. Store was closed at 7p. Only the front desk person wore a mask - none of the technicians who came out did. Phone works great with no noticeable damage. Note that with any non-factory screen repairs, water resistance generally will not be as good and so I probably can no longer expect the phone to be briefly submerged under water without risk of damage despite it having passed the tests performed by Ubreakifix. The only disappointment with the repair was that all 3 rear camera lenses on the Samsung Galaxy S21+ had fingerprints. I debated for a long time whether to bring it back for a fix, but after reading one reviewer's experience with the same issue and having had to go back multiple times, I did not want to go through that myself. I decided to begrudgingly keep the phone as is for now until I notice any photo quality degradation. As a former professional wedding and event photographer, this was a very difficult decision, and we will see if I will end up taking it back within the 90 day Ubreakifix warranty period. I hope that the staff will pay attention to cleaning the camera lenses as that could have been an easy issue to avoid. Overall, the experience was positive. read more
