Cell Phone Repair Center

Ok, so honestly anyone who is giving this guy a bad rating for the price he charges and the time it takes to do it is just evil, stupid, or mean. I dropped my iPhone 6 about 3 months ago (seriously I drop that thing every day) but the screen shattered even with a protector on it. I called around and everybody wanted to charge me over $ 150 and schedule an appointment. I called and the owner told me it would be $ 75 and it would take him 30 mins and to come on in. I was like this is too good to be true but nope, I dropped off my phone. Got some Thai food and then came back and it was done and working perfectly. He even gave me a case for $ 5 that has saved my phone the past few times I have dropped it recently.

He repaired my iPad 4 screen but broke the button that turns the iPad on and off. It was working perfectly fine. He said it was already broken. That’s not how you do business. Very untrustworthy.

The owner of this place is awesome! My grandfather iPhone 4s’ screen blacked out twice on two occasions. He fixed it for me free of charge twice. Thank you!

What a joke.
One of our technicians placed an order for 2 iPad flex cables for our repair business in Ohio. The website
had no issues accepting our payment via PayPal, but then sent us an email indicating that they would not be sending us our product until we provided them our Reseller License, or our Repair License. We have been in business for 10 years now, 4 as an LLC, & have no such license as the state of Ohio does not require this.
I called customer support to cancel the order, as we’ve purchased the cables elsewhere (cheaper, mind you), & the customer support rep would not provide me a ticket number or a confirmation number. Only that she was forwarding the ‘request’ to her manager.
So it’s legal to take money, refuse to ship product, & I can only request the refund?
Glad this order was only $ 30, otherwise I’d be doing more than writing a Unilocal review.

I don’t know why there is so much hate for this place. I recently broke my ipad mini digitizer and I found this place through ebay instead of ordering online I called them. It turns out they are located like 5min away AND they were the ONLY cell phone repair to have ipad mini parts. I called the owner (im assuming) was very nice and even gave me tips on repairing my ipad mini (i was doing it myself) he even have me extra glue for my ipad mini cover. He was very excited for me and sincerely wished me well. I would totally recommend this place. I’m actually going back to his shop this week for galaxy s2 parts. I will say the inside of the store wasn’t very nice but i’m not going to knock it down a star when his service made up for it.

Came here back in the day before the iPhone and asked how much to unlock my phone. They wanted $ 40, when most other places at most was doing it for $ 20. So I said no and started to look at some of their inventory and prices, very high and cheap.
High prices and cheap quality that was.

I can’t believe I fell for their gimmick on Unilocal and on craigslist even though I read through other people’s reviews. My samsung phone got wet and wanted to see if they can repair it. Before I brought it in, at least the keyboard lighting worked. Afterwards, they couldn’t fix it and it was worse off than it was before. They keyboard lighting completely stopped working. It was a waste of my nonrefundable $ 40. They say they they have a «machine» to help dry the inside of my cellphone, but I bet it’s a punch of BULL! they probably bought something offline for cheaper and use some kind of emergency drying cell phone kit instead, which of course didn’t work. I wish they could at least give me 50% back my money if they couldn’t fix it. Really bad customer service when it comes to fixing phones. The guy interrupted my sentences and said «$ 40 fixed or not!». WTH?! If you just want to your iphone screen fix or unlocking your phone go there. Other than that, don’t go there for anything else. They’ll just end up probably breaking your stuff even more, and steal some of your pieces and pawn it to fix someone else’s phone.

claims their iPhone digitizers are OEM, but they are cheap knockoffs. They they refuse to refund your money, even though they lied. They send defective parts but refuse to send replacements when you return them even though they agreed to do so. Chris is the contact person, and he and his company have no concept of customer service. I don’t know how they stay in business. They owe us hundreds of dollars. Never again. Take a look at their grade «F» report on the Better Business Bureau’s website.

I found these guys on cragistlist. My phone had recently corrupted itself and I needed someone to reflash the firmware. I responded to their ad and they said they would do it for «around $ 40». I wrote back telling them that I could pick up a used phone of the same model off of ebay for $ 40 and would they would do it for $ 20? They responded that they’d do it for $ 30 and I told them fine, I’d come in.
When I finally reached the store (an ~1hr trip from Oakland via BART and bike), the guy at the counter said that it would cost $ 40. I explained that they had agreed to $ 30 in email and he asked me who I talked to. Fortunately I had my laptop with me and I pulled out the email exchange. The guy behind the counter denied knowing the person and said they didn’t work here; the cost was $ 40. I asked him why this person would sign his email with their company name, address, and phone number if he didn’t work for them? He said he didn’t know, why didn’t I call them to verify the person I was talking to in email was actually an employee? (I don’t know, maybe because my phone was dead?). The cost was now $ 50. I left the shop and headed back to Oakland with nothing to show for my time other than a bad taste in my mouth.
Avoid these guys, they’re as shady as they come.

Ok. I live in San Jose and I was in the process of getting a new phone.
I was trying to get rid of my old phone but everybody in craiglist was lowballing the crap out of me when I posted my ad, so I decided to look somewhere else.
It so happened that this place had an ad posted in craiglist that they buy used cellphones.
Before I headed to the place, I emailed them asking if they could give me an estimate as to how much they would give me for my old phone. I’m not asking for much mind you. I got the phone for about 300 $ 2 years ago. I was only trying to get about 40 $ tops for it.
They emailed me back, the reply was: «Just take the phone in and name your price».
Now, if you received the same reply, you’d probably think the same way I did — that I would get it for the price I was hoping for.
So, I drive 50 miles to this place, feeling good about getting rid of my old phone and getting a decent price off it, when I get to the place, tell them what I was there for and they tell me they can only give me 5 – 10 $ for it, regardless of what phone it was.
Naturally, I got so pissed off, showed them the email they replied me with and told them that it would have helped if they included that tiny detail about not buying the phone for over 10 $ regardless of what phone it was before I made the trip to their place. I tried to argue but ultimately, I had to leave because these idiots won’t buy it at the price I wanted.
Anyway, such a horrible experience warrants 0 stars. Too bad I have to choose at least one…

The only reason I didn’t give these guys 5 stars is that I understand Unilocal sometimes disgards top and bottom ratings.
That said, my daughter dropped her friend’s Blackberry Curve and cracked the screen. I was beside myself since the phone was new and when I called Verizon they said that no one gets cell phones repaired they just get a new phone.
Since the price of a new phone without a service plan was close to $ 400.
I decided to look up cell phone repairs on Craigslist and found these guys. I brought it in on Tuesday afternoon and was able to pick it up on Tuesday evening and it was perfect. At a cost of $ 50 instead of $ 400 for a new phone it was a big relief to me. The location is convenient — right off 101 and they are very nice. I had looked up the cost of a replacement screen online and they were 29.99 so I thought they did a great job for a great price. I’ll definitely be back here for any phone repairs when I don’t want to upgrade.
