I am SO VERY unimpressed. I'd heard there was a guy at the Sunday flea market who repairs broken screens on iPhones. Well, I broke mine, and it's usually $99 or so for a competent person to fix it--COMPETENT. (Which I am not. I don't recommend buying a replacement screen on eBay--the little tools are crappy. Which brings me to these two guys who have recently come to the Santa Cruz flea market on Sundays, who call themselves Wrektechs, and they seem to have come over from Silicon Valley, so there goes your money out of the county. That's not the bad part.
I asked at the entrance: "Where is the cell phone giuy?" The man pointed me to a white van (look for the skateboards he also sells) very close to the entrance. (This is not the company I am reviewing.) He added, "There's another place a few rows over, a couple guys."
I asked, "Who's better?" He said, "The guy who's been here." So I dropped my phone off: $65 to repair the broken screen. No tax. His name is Roger, he's a black man, and he and his wife are on TOP of it.
While waiting for my phone, we found these two guys. "How much to fix a screen on my phoen?"
"$70." I didn't ask if there was tax. Just said, "Really? That guy over there is $65 and he's been here longer." I wasn't mean. Just said it outright.
They actually expected me to BELIEVE that one LCD/glass screen is different than another. Since I've ordered more than one on eBay, this is a 100% LIE. One guy said, "Yeah, it's like shoes." Shoes is a stupid example. The other guy said, "It's like a car." That, too, is a stupid example. It's not like shoes or a car--this is a standard item.
So, these two guys seem to be either liars or they are not as experienced as I am in purchasing replacement screens for iPhones. (Go ahead: Google "replacement screens for iPhones" and tell me there are categories of superior and inferior models. Of course there aren't.)
They cost more, and I expect you to ignore them and use Roger, the nice man who's been there, and tell him I'm grateful for his honesty but I still wish he was cheaper than $65.
Guys, don't lie to people. It's just not cool. You don't deserve to succeed with that greedy attitude. Yeah, you get your $5--but you lost me and now you know what a mistake it was to give me your business card. read more
