1 Star -- The Worst Repair Experience of My Life!…read more I've never written a bad review before, but what happened at this so-called "repair shop" was an absolute disgrace. I came to them because the backlight on my Samsung phone stopped working -- the phone turned on, charged, made calls, everything worked fine, I just couldn't see the screen. After their "diagnosis," they told me I needed to replace the entire screen module. I trusted their judgment and paid $125 for the repair. And guess what? I got my phone back in worse condition than before. The screen now just lights up, but I can't unlock it at all. The phone keeps saying my pattern is incorrect -- even though I've used the same pattern for over 7 years on all my devices without ever changing it. When I came back to explain the issue, instead of helping, they started acting rude and defensive, trying to blame me and claiming that I must have changed the password before bringing it in. Really? The same pattern I've used for seven years somehow stopped working the moment you touched the phone? Their explanations were completely nonsensical. It's obvious they have no real technical understanding of what they're doing. Even a beginner could find dozens of possible causes online -- faulty digitizer calibration, firmware mismatch, bad grounding, incompatible touch controller -- yet they didn't check any of that. Zero professionalism. Zero responsibility. To make matters worse, the "new screen" they installed turned out to be used and scratched, even though they promised me a brand-new one. I have photos to prove it. So now I've ended up with a broken phone after paying for a "repair." I had to go back just to get my old screen returned so I could take it to someone competent. This company is the definition of incompetence, dishonesty, and poor customer service. They don't care about quality, only about taking your money and blaming you when things go wrong. Avoid this place at all costs! If you value your phone, your time, and your sanity -- do NOT bring it here. Shops like this should not even be allowed to repair phones.

But wanted to update that a few days ago (7 months later) , I got an email from apple stating activation lock is requesting my password for that old phone. They never gave me my phone back and said they give them to a company to dispose of phone. I did call to ask why I'd be getting this and he just kept telling me there's no way they got the phone on and that's all he can tell me. Told me told call Apple, I just don't know what they'd be able to tell me? He got kind of defensive because I was asking why I would get this email. I was just trying to understand it. I got on iCloud and set to erase if it's ever turned on, just hoping it's enough that they don't get any information off that phone, seems like someone's trying to get into it (even if not turned on). I'd ask to keep old electronics and destroy yourself. Writing this here just so owner knows this happened, especially if the company they are using isn't supposed to be doing anything with these phones besides destroying them.

Then it came time for me to insert my card and pay. The guy at the counter with a mustache told me "you can tap right here" and then UNDER HIS BREATH IN A CONDESCENDING TONE, said "if you know how". Like, I clearly heard him say it! I spoke to my friends about it who have all been customers at coastal and they ALL said they've received some patronizing comment from this particular guy. I don't see why, when there are so many more cost effective, faster film labs that respect their customers, I would continue coming here, and I don't think anyone reading this review should either.

When I proceeded to call from my cellphone and ask for a manager he refused to put me on with one, refused to give his name. When I kept asking he finally said he was the manager which if that's the case that business will fail. He threatened me with a lawyer and said I was "harassing him" for wanting to speak to a manager or owner. He also kept repeating that 4 other people were listening in on the phone call. Worst customer service I've ever experienced in my life. He wanted us to come to the store to fight him...like wtf??? Someone must've shit in his coffee or something.
