    Battery replaced on my foreflight sentry receiver!
    Pete H.

    Great work!!! They helped me replace an old battery on the foreflight sentry GPS receiver. Saved me $500+ because of course the manufacturer says "no serviceable" and does not offer service and just wants to sell you a new one. I ordered the battery online and brought it into the store. They completed the work in an hour.

    They didn't update the WiFi drivers and refusing to take liability for their negligence

    They're either lazy, scammers, or incompetent! PLEASE DO NOT GO TO THEM I took my pc in because it was having black screens, and when I tried to clean it up and replug it it would not connect to the monitor. I tried everything but it wouldn't work so I took it here and explained that to them. I took it in on a Thursday, and they gave me a ticket and didnt really say anything else. So I ask "when can I expect to have it back?" and they told me that it'd be $65 and they'd have it ready by Saturday. Saturday comes and I call them and ask if the pc is ready, they said "we'll call you back". Waited 3 hours and they did NOT call back, so I call again and ask if it's ready. Now they say "oh, it's actually the motherboard," (so they figure out the problem but didn't bother to call and tell me?), and I say "okay.... Are you guys able to fix it?" And they say "nah, it's gotta be replaced." I asked what was wrong with it, and they said "the BIOS," which was very vague. In hindsight, I should've seen the problem here. They then say "we can suggest some good ones for you and call you back". Again, they do NOT call me back so I had to look up and buy a motherboard on my own. I bring it in on Monday and they tell me it'll be ready the next day. It was... but one big problem. They didn't even update the WiFi drivers! So they literally gave me another problem: it literally doesn't connect to the WiFi. So I spent all night trying to figure out how to get the WiFi working, but I don't have another computer or Ethernet to download the WiFi drivers so I can't even get WiFi. I hit up my online friend who's more knowledgeable on computers than I am. And they said "did they tell you what was wrong with it?" And I said that they said "the bios" and they told me "your old motherboard has BIOS flashback on it... it sounds to me like they didn't even try that and they immediately resorted to making you get another motherboard and charging you extra for the motherboard". So, on top of them NOT UPDATING THE WIFI DRIVERS, THEY SCAMMED ME OUTTA $150. I'm beyond furious and want a refund for wasting my time, stressing me out, giving terrible service and communication, and giving me a computer that doesn't even connect to WiFi! So like I said: they're either lazy and incompetent or know what they're doing and hope YOU don't so that the can get as much money from you as possible. Terrible service and they just gave my computer another problem! I called them again and they said they DIDN'T do a bios flashback and they "didn't have the tools". And instead of calling me and informing me about this they immediately said I need to replace the motherboard and charged me $85 extra for the labor costs. They also got mad that I "didn't give them a password" when I asked why they didn't update the drivers, and I told them that they never asked or called, and he said "why should I go around chasing you when I got other stuff to do?" And when I finally called them multiple times and asked for a partial refund, AGAIN, they didn't say anything and didn't give me a refund so I call them back saying "where's the refund?" And this is how I know they're shady because they said "we'll give you a refund after you sign this document saying we're not liable" like dude! What?! So they didnt even give me a refund unless I sign a paper that says "he cannot report this and we did not wrong". Extremely shady and scummy business, don't let them scam you.

    Owner and watch with new battery
    Russell B.

    Fast reply (on their day off, no less); replaced battery the next day in minutes; accurate quote; great price. Warm, friendly people. Thank you!

    Fixed left hinge after repair.

    This place is great! Not only do they repair phones, computers, and consoles, they also repair headphones. I brought in my Sony XM-5's in need of a repair hoping they can fix it. Fortunately, I found Nick who happens to fix a few of these XM-5's before and gave me a reasonable price for repair. Nick, thank you very much for your hard work and your expertise!

    Here is a screenshot showing the Frankenstein Parts added to this phone
    Tony F.

    I had a great first experience, however the second time I used them my perception changed. We brought my wife's iPhone 13 Pro Max in because the phone just stopped working. They said we needed to change the power management chip; however, they couldn't do it at their shop and needed to ship it to their facility in Texas to get it done. They initially said it would take about a week and gave me an iPhone 8 as a loaner to use in the meantime. Well 1 week turned into 3, then the phone got lost in shipment. Not only did it get lost in shipment, but the tracking showed it came from San Diego, not from Texas and the package was NOT insured. While the package was lost, come to find out about a month later, my Identity was stolen. A letter came in the mail saying a new bank account was opened while we didn't even have the phone. I remembered that they asked for the passcode before shipping it back which is why I think this ID Theft could potentially be coming from this issue. They ended up giving me an iPhone 13 that was Frankensteined from their spare parts bin. They said it had a brand-new battery however this battery dies faster than my 3-year-old phone. They initially quoted us $280 to get this done with a down payment of $100. When we went in to return the iPhone 8 late loaner and get the Frankenstein Phone, they had the audacity to ask us to pay the remaining $180 balance. We never ended up paying this because we found it to be totally unfair. The original reason we wanted to do this was to save all our pictures on the old phone but now we are out $100, lost the photos, and have a worse phone. Buyer Beware!

    16 Pro Tempered Glass Protector Broke and was repaired! Looks brand new :)

I really appreciate it. I had a bad experience with a big repair shop that had many good reviews and seem reliable. Popular shops charge more and take longer to fix your stuff or even to reply to your questions. This is why I chose a smaller repair shop. But he has good reviews and just from our conversation on Yelp and on the phone, I could tell he is friendly, has experience with pixel phones, and I can trust him. Matt was so chill, friendly, and funny. But still very professional and focused. He knew my phone situation was urgent so he helped me and delayed other stuff he was working on. He has 15 years of experience! I was able to stay the whole time and watch him work on my phone. Despite how he had to talk to a few customers while I was there, he still finished on time, in 1 hour. He even gave me a discount. I think he also gave his other customers discounts? I'm not sure. But I will definitely recommend him if anyone I know has phone or laptop problems, from now on. Thanks again, Matt!! (FYI, Please look up HOW TO KEEP PHONE WITH BULGING BATTERY SAFE, if this is why you need to go to the phone repair shop. I didn't think it was a big deal cuz the 1st repair shop I called BEFORE I went to Right On Repair told me don't worry just leave it turned off. but it can be dangerous and cause a fire if you do it incorrectly!!)

    Attention this business is a scam. The overweight man that works there is so unprofessional but we…read morewill get to him shortly. So i called this business to ask for an estimate for a screen replacement for galaxy they told me $150 which I figured was a good price since everywhere else they were charging me 250 + ... i was busy so I had my cousin drop off my phone to them. I had no phone so my cousin had no way of getting a hold of me but I guess he was told by the same person I spoke to on the phone that they would have to replace my frame with a black instead of violet which is the color of my phone. He insisted that the violet color was an extra $100 to order. Since I couldn't pay anymore than 150 my cousin left my phone to him anyway. My phone was done the next day and my phone looks terrible. It looks like 5 year old replaced my screen and to top it off there was a tiny chip on the screenn. Also the frame wasn't even glued down properly and it's coming out of place. The screen cracked because I tried to press down lightly to get the frame to snap back into place. The glass was not worth $150 it felt like cheap plastic that looks like glass. I was never even told that the screen wouldn't be fingerprint compatible. My phone stopped charging because this man told my friend to make sure to have the phone with a case because the frame and the back/battery were not properly installed. As of today my phone no longer charges and the screen won't turn on it's completely dark. Also when i turned my phone on some of the settings were changed which means they must've went thru my phone (we will get to that later) .... I contemplated a few days if I should go speak to this person and explain to him what happened he could maybe replace my screen and this time with the original colored frame without the extra charge instead as soon as I began explaining to him he cut me off and said there was nothing he can do and that they didn't do refunds I tried to tell him that I was told one thing and then was told another and that the quality of the screen he installed was not good. He lied and said he had told me over the phone that the screen was after market. He never mentioned any of this otherwise I wouldn't have gone to him. Why would I agree to pay that much money for a cheap ass screen and a different color frame. ? He kept saying that he had proof that he did inform me of this and he said he would pull up his landline to show me the phone call where he stated this. I told him I would love to hear it and then he begins to cuss me out telling me to get the fuck out of his store and as I'm walking out he begins to charge at me and tells me to come back and fight him. I was shocked I couldn't believe that this guy really was treating me this way because I questioned his work which was not worth the money I paid. Then as I'm driving home my phone that he fixed completely blocks my network and won't read my SIM card or eSIM. I can almost guarantee he had a way to access my phone and since he was mad he made sure I could never use my phone again.
