Do not go here! Total bait and switch. Went in for a simple hard drive recovery and walked away no data and an invoice to boot!

Missed Deliveries, No Ownership, and a Refund That Should Have Been Simple…read more I'm leaving this review to document an experience that was far more difficult than it should ever have been. I purchased a KitchenAid dishwasher from Best Buy in Charlottesville for roughly $1,000, including installation. The store missed multiple scheduled delivery dates. Eventually, I was told the appliance could not be obtained and that the purchase would be refunded. At that point, the transaction should have ended. Instead, the refund process became complicated and poorly handled, ultimately involving billing and collection issues with Best Buy's credit card partner. What stood out most at the store level was accountability. Front-line employees were polite and tried to help. However, as I attempted to escalate within the store, the opposite of what you'd expect happened: the more senior the management level, the harder it became to get anyone to engage directly or take ownership of the problem. The issue was not resolved at the store and required escalation well beyond this location. This review isn't about one missed delivery -- things happen. It's about the lack of follow-through, ownership, and problem resolution when something goes wrong. For a major appliance purchase, that's concerning. Ultimately, the matter was resolved elsewhere, but the store lost my trust in the process. I'm leaving two stars because staff were courteous, but I would not purchase a major appliance from this location again.

Recently I had the pleasure of working with a gentleman named Mike at the Charlottesville, Va…read more Store. He was very thorough and really helped me. I had gone back and forth 3-4 times because I am not very computer comfortable. He was very patient with me. He does deserve the 5 star rating. Thanks, Vicki

Fruit Fixed Charlottesville - The first "repair"

I took my Apple Watch in to get fixed in early December. It needed to be sent to Richmond because…read morethat's apparently where they have the sautering tool needed to fix the batter. By December 15, I'd received a call that the watch was fixed, but then they backtracked and said it was still losing its charge. From that point on, it was radio silence; I called them on 12/22 and12/31, each time without them being able to tell me what was wrong with the device. By 1/30, they told me that the device was unfixable and then would send it back to Charlottesville to get it to me. And again, I heard nothing. When I called on 2/10, I finally spoke with someone helpful who'd admitted that the watch had been lost in the mail. I asked that person what could be done, and they offered to see if the company could help me replace the device; I asked to get that in writing in the form of an email, which they obliged and sent on 2/11. I've now responded to that email two times (on 2/14 and 2/17) hoping to move forward with the replacement of my device or some kind of a refund, and no one has answered. Fruit Fixed showed embarrassingly poor communication and bad customer service. I have no idea how their rating is so high - I feel like many of these reviews can't be legitimate. I now have to purchase a new watch and can't use my previous device as a trade-in because they have refused to help me when it was lost in transit between their two stores, and when apparently no one who worked there even realized it was gone. Pathetic.

UPDATE: Wow. Their response to this issue admits they broke the phone and tried to get me to pay…read moreto fix their mistake. This is a clear pattern. I urge everyone to look at Fixed Fruit's responses to the reviews. In each case, they twist the fact to place blame on the customer. This is an untrustworthy business that is unwilling to stand behind their work. Strong recommendation to avoid! ORIGINAL REVIEW: I visited Fixed Fruit for a simple battery replacement on my iPhone, but the experience left a lot to be desired. During the repair, the technician damaged my phone's screen. Although they admitted responsibility, they still tried to charge me for a new screen instead of fixing their mistake at no cost. While the staff were not rude, their unwillingness to correct an error they caused raises concerns about the ethics of this business. If you're looking for a repair shop that you can trust, look elsewhere

Like most computer users, I have just enough info to be dangerous. But when my PC got the Blue…read moreScreen of Death, I froze. I had no idea how to fix it, and like many people, my PC is my work, is my PC. When I called, not only did I get a live person, but a friendly person, someone who felt my panic, and told me exactly what to do. When I arrived 20 minutes later, my computer was out of the bag, plugged in and being diagnosed before I could even finish explaining what had happened. And rather than sell me things I didn't need, I got advice to scrap the computer and upgrade. No money was to be made with that advice-and I was hooked. Marty's infectious excitement about computers, how they work and what vexes them is awesome. I found myself wanting to know more than I already did. In the end, I scared up an old PC and brought it back in to have the old hard drive copied over, clean up and optimized. It was all done in record time, by local guys who know their stuff...isn't that what we all say we really want in good service? There is no way I would go anywhere else. And when I buy my next laptop, I won't take it out of the box until I bring it to these guys to tweak. QuickFix is the kind of place you hope exists. There's loads of free parking, their fees are upfront and simple, and their disposition is straight-forward and congenial, without an air of making you feel like a loser for mistakes you might have made.

I have used QuickFix as the virtual IT department for my small business for 4 years and they have…read morealways provided fabulous service and have never disappointed me. Jim
