If you really wanna know why anyone doesn't shop a local anymore this store would be the perfect example we got there today at 6:30 to purchase an iPhone 13. A gentleman met us at the door and told us basically to leave because they were closing in 30 minutes and they didn't want to take any extra time to assist us. I would recommend that someone from corporate visits a store and host customer service training. For that reason they are losing our service read more

Horrible horrible service here. Probably not the stores fault; probably because Verizon is such a screwed up company. You can't reach them on the phone to talk to everybody. They made the appointment for me at the wrong store and I needed to get something done because they were unable to mail me the thing I needed. I asked them twice and they failed both times. Don't go with Verizon! read more

I decided I wanted to upgrade my phone to something with a superior camera and was paired very quickly with a kind associate who asked about 100 questions and then honestly told me that as much as he'd like the commission on selling me a new phone, my phone was actually better than all the other phones we had looked at. He advised me to wait until something with better specs came out in the future and revisit whether I want a new trade in. I absolutely appreciate his honesty and left all warm and fuzzy. Thanks Verizon. You rock!! read more

Very knowledgeable staff. Very helpful with those little problems we run into at times with our phone. No pressure. Just straight facts. A great place. Good variety of phone accessories too read more

The staff needs to stop telling customers that uBreakiFix will file their claim for insurance purposes or that they charge $30 to fix your phone. This is so false and misleading. It's almost like they tell customers this, so they don't have to deal with you. WHEN Verizon employees are supposed to help steere you in the right direction to file a claim. If you have no clue, you should call uBreakiFix to confirm this. Not make up whatever comes to your mind to get them out of your hair. When this comes from the Manager and even she has no clue, it shows you the lack of knowledge by the Manager and the crew. Even though uBreakiFix could not file the claim for us, they were nice enough to help us figure out how to file that claim, which the people at Verizon can do. But choose not to help. read more

You will not get excellent customer service from here I can tell you that. And that speaks volumes! For one the lady I spoke to was rude. They wanted me to pay a restock fee after I didn't like the phone I received just only 4 days ago! Also they would not talk to me about my account without an ID. They didn't tell me this when I checked in and then made me wait 45min. This is 2021 there should be other ways to authenticate a person. Again online didn't ask for my ID and they quickly took care of what I asked.... which was no hassle exchange. And since I sent in my iPhone XR for the exchange...they allowed me to use the iPhone 13 Pro until I received the iPhone 13 Max. That's taking care of your loyal customers! (Verizon customer Since 2005) So I upgraded and spent my money with online Verizon rather than this local Verizon store. read more

Horrible experience, absolutely the worst business I have ever been in and the only business I have ever been kicked out of. Do you want to be lied to and told there are currently no managers on duty... and that there is no one currently in charge of the store when you have a complaint. Want to be told "Don't reach for me" Like your an animal that's going to attack the employee, even though your standing 6 feet away behind a sign and your just talking with your hands like a majority of people do when upset??? Non existent customer service unable to address the core issue of a customers complaint or understanding the reason of being upset. When you just upgraded your phone you expect it to work.. not to be given the run around and shifted to the back after having just walked out with your new device that can't transfer contacts and info because they already factory wiped your current phone... Common sense goes along way... I will not be stopping at Yelp. I will continue to post on every forum about how terrible this store is and will definitely be reaching out to corporate as well as the BBB. I am not an animal and will not be treated as such these employees should be ashamed and their regional must either train better or realize their employees failures are a reflection of their management. read more

I should of stayed with Sprint! Verizon has no service in LA and now I'm in the desert with the same issue! I called only to find out Verizon has multiple towers out in every city and is trying to fix the problem.. customer service sucks as well read more

My husband and I met at the Verizon store in Indio, ca and the guy there was terrible... so we left and went to the store in La Quinta and they were absolutely fantastic! We were able to upgrade our iPhone 7 for an iPhone 13 max, with no problems. Our sales associate (male that wears glasses- I'm sorry I can't remember his name) was extremely helpful and patient. He was very thorough throughout the entire process and this will be our go to spot if we ever need anything for our plan. Great work and excellent service. read more

The service at the La Quinta store is horrible!! I tried to make an appointment and was told I had to wait 4 days. I'm leaving Verizon and returning to Sprint!!! read more

Melissa has a terrible- , rude , unprofessional and eye rolling for no reason ! They missed out on $800 sale because of her rudeness. She made my blood pressure skyrocket and with my mother dying that is the last thing I need !! Hire people that actually like helping people !! I have been with Verizon for 20 years . If I don't get a response I will switch carriers. read more

My dad has been out of a phone for 3 weeks now, I ordered a phone through Verizon and got charged that very same day but I have yet to receive the phone. I switched to Verizon from another carrier now I'm thinking I should've never done it, I feel scammed. read more

Was met as if I was a criminal. RUDE, not helpful. Seems like they don't want your business. The 2 floor gals today were bitches. Mgr was ok but could not accommodate my request. Even so,they were not kind or helpful. It was like they wanted you to leave. Will NEVER return. Verizon in Cathedral City super nice & helpful. I've never left a bad comment on Yelp even tho many deserved it. Stunned at the lack of customer service. And please don't give me your lip service with a reply of: "I'm so sorry we could not accommodate you....etc. " Clearly employees aren't happy here and it shows. If you can't be kind and helpful get a different job. Simply appalled!!! read more

Extremely rude in LaQuinta store. After over an hour on the phone with Verizon I was instructed by the Verizon customer support associate to go to corporate Verizon in LaQuinta. Showed up, waited in line, maintaining 6 ft or more social distancing guidelines with mask, and an employee comes out, and after hearing my issue, which can only be resolved in person, says, "Call 611." Attempted to explain that 611 told be to come to her corporate store and she just repeated, "You have to call 611." I repeated myself and she shrugged her shoulders, turned around. and walked back inside. What is going on? Is this Covid thing just an excuse for ignorant, uneducated, ill-trained, or simply rude people to be deliberately rude? Why doesn't Verizon better prepared is company to effectively and efficiently address customer complaint? read more

This store has the worst customer service ever. Lisa seems to always be the one to call me and let me know that their store is "not a fully operational store" in the rudest most unhelpful way possible. After waiting for my appointment for 4 days I was informed that I can't actually go into the store to get help, despite what someone at the store told me, and customer service setting up the appointment for me because that's what they suggested. Honestly at this point I'm going to be switching to T-Mobile just so I don't have to deal with employees that hate their lives as much as the ones do at this store. The store might as well be closed because they can't actually help with anything right now. read more

Stanley was very helpful & cheerful... 5 stars for Stanley (BUT, we had an issue later j sent him an email...No Response... -1 Stanley...) 2 stars for the 30 minute wait time But at least they had a fair method to helping people! Upon walking in, someone with an iPad greets you & gets your name & a bit of info & puts you into a waiting cue...when it's your time, they'll find you in the store... I'd go back again but other Verizon locations aren't as busy! read more

Been with them for almost 20 years. Love there product. They also have great tech's . The one thing I have trouble with is getting through to my local store. I have a special customer rep I want to buy from because of her knowledge of the products but I never can get through to the La Quinta store to talk to her and because of what's going on with COVID-19 I don't just wanna drive up to the store and hope that I get to talk to her. Even when I call the local number I get some random customer service associate. Please fix this and I would buy a new i phone and a watch . Please fix this. read more

Manny was so helpful he took his time to make sure all my problems were fixed. He was amazing and went above and beyond. Danny was okay too.

Wow!! It is worth dealing with the heat here when you can get help with no lines!! I needed to change out a phone and Vicente was so helpful, patient and soft spoken! Vicente even made sure the phone continued to install properly while helping other customers...after making sure I was ok with that. Great experience at this store with Vicente!! read more

I wanted to give my review to verizon wireless from the moment that I walked in I felt welcomed the reps and mgmt were friendly and very knowledgeable about the phones and accessories they sell when the reps needed help or had questions the mgmt always friendly willingness to help I had a very positive experience with Verizon wireless I highly recommend them sincerely fc read more

someone needs to put a stop to these people trying to rip off consumers. even when I presented myself very friendly, the guy George wanted to sell me a simple screen protecter for my I-phone for $65.00. and to justify his crookedness, he told me that the reason why the screen protector is so expensive it comes with a 3 year warranty. I wonder if these people are being thought at home to steal from people. it is frightening! you initiated service on line, and if you go there to retrieve your order, because you did not spend money with them you are treated like nothing. and of course they call you names by your color underneath their breaths. they text back and forth with each other to throw you off. then he tells me that he has to go into the back because he had the tablet in his hands for too long. just because he realized that I was aware of what he and the manager was doing. I don know why Verizon enables such ugly and unprofessional behavior, I will check my account to make sure nothing has been altered. they cannot be trusted. regardless of how honest, friendly and respectful you are to them. they will laugh with you as they are planning on how to take advantage of you. they dont realize that ripping people off they are only setting up themselves for failure and struggles in life. the manager is no example as he gets a cut out of what they fraudulently takes from you read more

Cannot say enough about this store. The staff helped me tremendously for hours with my disaster. I switched carriers and came back after 3 days. Couldn't get my number back, my phone wasn't working. I literally spent 19 hours between the store and on the phone trying to get my phone fixed. Danny, Sabrina, Vicente, Victor and Jason. What a team. They worked together to get my issue resolved. Took 3 days off and on but with patience they got my issue resolved. This is my go to Verizon store in the desert, no question. read more

I dealt with Kalen today to switch my phone to Verizon Even though there were a lot of difficulties with the swap Kalen never gave in!! A fantastic employee and very knowledgeable!!!! Folks if you go in to buy anything ask for Kalen!!! Not a better guy. read more

This was my first time at this location and the solution specialist, Arsanios took really good care of me. I was very upset because my one year old Nexus 6P randomly died out on me the day before and the manufacturer, Huawei said they weren't going to take care of fixing it. I had to look for new phones and I was trying to decide between the iPhone and the newest Google phone, the Pixel 2 XL. After talking to Arsanios, he guided me through the best plan for me and how much it would all work out to be. He was very patient in hearing out our concerns and answering any questions. read more

This 0-star review is specifically for the employee Rolo. I lost my iPhone X at Coachella on Friday 4/13, and went to this store on Saturday morning 4/14, at around 10:30am to see what my options were. I have insurance through Verizon, so I knew I could eventually get a replacement phone. Rolo told me I had two options: 1) I could file an insurance claim, but I wouldn't get a phone until Monday, or 2) buy a new iphone x. I asked him why I would buy a new phone (for $1250) if I could use my insurance claim, and he mockingly told me "because otherwise you won't have a phone for the rest of Coachella." I then asked if I could buy a new phone and return it once my insurance claim went through. He told me "No." I was very confused as to why not, and asked him to please ask the manager if I had any other options. He told me that the manager would tell me the same things he had already said. I asked him again whether or not I could return the new phone, and he said that "Yes, but there is a restocking fee of $30. And it might not work with your insurance, so you might not be able to use your insurance if you get a new phone." Obviously I was concerned about this, because I didn't want to spend $1250 if I couldn't also file an insurance claim. I told Rolo that I was an attorney and had to do a little more research (read the fine print of my insurance contract). He impatiently asked me if he should move on to another customer, and I said yes. In the meantime, the Verizon employee who was checking everyone in came over and asked me what the issue was. I gave him a brief synopsis, and he immediately told me that filing an insurance claim and buying/returning a new phone were mutually exclusive and there would be no issues. He said he would go talk to Rolo so that I could buy the new phone. When Rolo returned, he said to me, "So do you want to buy the phone then?" No explanations, no apologies for his incompetence. I did proceed to buy the new phone, return it, and successfully file my insurance claim. However, my experience with Rolo was beyond unprofessional and unhelpful. I don't know if he was trying to make a commission on a phone sale, or thought I was stupid (guess what... attorneys attend Coachella too), or was just incompetent...but it was no thanks to him that I resolved my problem. When a customer comes to you with a problem, you give them ALL of the options - including the most beneficial one to the customer - not try to trick them into buying a new phone. I would have been an absolute idiot if I bought a new phone for ($1250) instead of using my insurance and buying/returning a phone ($230). Thank you to the guy checking everyone in for answering my questions in literally seconds and helping me reach a resolution. read more

Just switched back to Verizon from Sprint yesterday. I have not been a fan of their customer service in the past. Always felt a "look, we're the best - if you don't like it, go somewhere else" kind of vibe from every interaction with them. This time, it was completely different. Liz O. at this location in La Quinta did an absolutely fantastic job of answering all my questions quickly and knowledgeably. She also got all 4 of our lines of service switched over in under an hour from start to finish. Kudos to her! Verizon is still a little pricey, but I have now tried all the major service and you do get what you pay for. read more

We went it on Christmas Eve (which we felt really bad about) to set up an Apple Watch on my acct. We were promptly greeted by Victor who jumped right on it and got us in and out of there. He was friendly, attentive and efficient. Thanks for a great experience Victor!! read more

Very rude manager. Went in to purchase a new phone for my wife and he turned us away very rudely. We couldn't even walk in the store to look around. Wouldn't even speak to us without an appointment. Had to drive to Apple to look at phones. Save yourself some time and go somewhere else. read more

Ihad great service today with regard to just getting my phone reset as the Battery died. The GM (Isabella? not sure) was great! Quick, prmpt and efficient and I did not have wait but 2 minutes once I entered the store. I highly recommend this location! read more

Worst customer service ever! If I can give them zero stars I would! They all seem like they want to go home and does not want any customers in there 15 minutes prior to closing. read more

I lost my iPhone on a trip to the UK, and had to buy a new one while I was there. Now home, will it work in the US? Survey says no. But Jason (I think? With a beard and a ball cap), went WAY above and beyond. Saved me $1000 and a ton of headaches! This guy is my HERO. Not all salespeople will go out of their way to solve a problem instead of selling the customer something they don't need, right?? I will definitely go back there and talk to him when I do need a new phone! read more

I want to tell everyone who reads this that I absolutely love Verizon and everything they've done for me, but the people at this location are the worst when it comes to customer service. It's like everyone who works at this location hates their job and just takes it out on every customer who comes in. There was about 4 employees standing around in the corner talking and laughing while a few of us customers looked at each other like, "Are we close to being next?" These people really need to be trained on the most important thing they should've been hired for... CUSTOMER SERVICE. read more

I was shocked at how unfriendly the staff is here. What a HUGE disappointment. I was ready to buy the iPhone 12 with all accessories, but after the indifference I was shown I've decided to take my business elsewhere. The woman on the floor checking people in didn't even look up at me when I said, "Thank you, goodbye." She just stared down at her iPad and grunted "Mmhmm". read more

I was pleasantly surprised how knowledgeable and friendly these employees are. I dealt directly with Ronaldo. He was amazing, very friendly and helpful. Definitely would recommend him to anyone looking for a new phone. read more

I never enjoy dealing with anything regarding electronics, phones, phone plans ect.. but I had to go in for a new phone and iPad which I've been avoiding for far too long. Kalen helped me. He made the experience as painless as possible. If I ever have to go in again, I'd only go when he's there. read more

This is probably the last corporate Verizon store left in the eastern Coachella Valley. It's located in the same shopping complex as Target, next to Supercuts. Parking is plentiful with a good deal of room between vehicles. When coming to this store you better know what you want and how much you "should" be paying. Research on the Verizon website of the plans and devices with their specific pricing. I would only come here if I need help fixing my device or want to get a new one without having to wait for it in the mail. These reps can be really helpful or be a shark trying to take bite as much of your wallet as they can haha I always come here after doing my research and never settle with what "they" are offering. I even pull up the Verizon website, so they can see what I'm talking about. Don't waste energy in trying to convince someone at this store, it's best to go through the website after a while of conversing with them. They have accessories, but just overpriced like every cellular store. Place is always busy and can get help the moment I walk in. Overall 3 stars because they can over price items if you have not been on their website and they always try to add more items on your contracts even after stating you're not interested. Recommend for store pick up of items or for help with your device or getting discounts on your plan for specific employment in certain companies or military. read more

I went to this store to get assistance with a new phone . I spoke with a female employee outside the store who informed me that they could not help me with transferring items from my old verizon phone to my new verizon phone. She gave me a piece of paper with a help desk number and told me to call them. No offer to assist me in any way. So I headed to another Verizon store and they were more then happy to assist me. More then likely, I will not be patronizing this Verizon location in the future. read more

I see all these replies from the Verizon store saying they hope they can win back your business. Well, we just went in today to pick up an order and get started with a new device. They are not trying to win back any customers. This store is literally a hand-off place: they hand you the bag and say call customer service. That's it. Poor old lady had bulling issues and needed help interpreting her bill- call customer service. Kid bought a phone from the store and didnt get a charger- call customer service. We bought a $500 smart watch and had issues with our current phone numbers being unregistered, call customer service. Kind of makes the new watch feel cheap because of the way we were dealt with. These employees have a major attitude problem, they're unfriendly and not very understanding that people need in person help. Not having access to your phone is a scary thing. Either be open or not...you should not be paid your same wage for doing 5% of the work. read more

HORRIBLE customer service! I have been a customer more than 15 yrs and have NEVER experienced what I did last night. Lisa was WAY out of line and rude I asked for the manager she mumbled under her breath as she flung the door open she tries to tell me I didn't have an appt and I clearly did I had a screen shot of it on my phone . Definitely makes me want to switch companies!! The manager came out and was also VERY rude and didn't try to fix anything! Basically said we went for NOTHING and we told by Verizon tech over the phone to go down there so they clearly need to learn how to talk to customers and they should not ever be allowed to treat a customer the way they did!!!!! read more

Came in to pick up a phone. Service was quick and friendly. Very nice displays and working phones to play with.
