After being referred to uBreakiFix by Google Support for my Pixel 8 Pro that got wet (it fell in a lake in the middle of my trip to Italy 3 weeks prior), making an appointment online with their website, and driving 3 hours from Vermont, the employees of the Nashua, NH uBreakiFix store could best be described as "aggressively unhelpful."
They said my online-scheduled noon appointment that day meant nothing and they didn't have time to work on my phone, despite the website promising same day service with an appointment. They then said they don't work on water damaged phones at all and that I was wasting my time (despite "water damage repair" being a service offered on their website and Google Support specifically telling me this was the closest store to me--3 hours from home-for water damage repair). Since the phone would still show a battery icon when plugged in, it just wouldn't charge, I suspected the only issue was the battery. When I said I wanted to take a chance and replace the battery, and I would pay for it out of pocket, regardless of whether it was successful in fixing the phone, they said they didn't have time and I'd have to leave my phone with them for days. So, what was the point of making an online appointment then where same day repair is promised? When I asked them if they could ship the phone back to me after repair since I lived 3 hours away, they literally scoffed in my face and said "No we don't do that." Reaching the point of exasperation with their negativity, they told me to go to a different store.
So I drove 30 more minutes to the uBreakiFix in Salem, NH. I'm glad I DID try a different store because the Salem, NH location was 100% more friendly, did the repair I asked without any hassle whatsoever, said they would do a specific water damage cleaning, and SUCCESSFULLY FIXED MY PHONE and saved my vacation photos. They made the process easy and were very accommodating in offering a way to ship the phone back to me since I live 3 hours away from the store. I'm so grateful for their hard work! Thank you, Salem uBreakiFix!
Thanks for nothing, Nashua store... read more
