Quality of Service

Pros:

  • "Great service, transparent and was cheap!"
  • "My Samsung's screen died a while ago and couldn't get it fixed via Samsung... Phone Universe fixed it instantly for me in a fraction of the price."
  • "Absolutely delighted, these are old phones... which now have a new lease of life through an efficient and professional service at a very reasonable cost."
  • "Fixed my phone within an hour and gave me a free protective screen."
  • "Great guy and a great business. Will certainly come back if I have any other issues with my phone, and I highly recommend that you go to him for any phone repairwork."
  • "My phone needed a repair owing to a sound issue. The phone was repaired that day in a speedy, timely, efficient manner, and the phone worked perfectly after the repair had been completed."
  • "My phone had died and could not find a way to revive it despite tried anything possible. Anyway, I've managed to find this gem of a man who repaired it and restore everything I thought had lost."
  • "I left my phone on the roof of my car and set off home. After tracking my phone to a roundabout I picked up a very runover Samsung s20fe. Panicking on a Sunday I visited phone universe. He checked the phone and ordered a replacement screen as he didn't have one in stock. He repaired and replaced the screen within 24hrs and super happy with his service."

Cons:

  • "Very uncomfortable and unhelpful experience. Went here because of all the glowing reviews but I can't imagine many of them are real, having been there."
  • "He kept telling me he knew it was the motherboard - I knew the motherboard is absolutely fine. Extremely patronising and didn't listen to me at all."
  • "I insisted he just carried out the work I requested- which was the replacement screen. I left him with the device for a further 2 hours. Upon returning to the shop, the device was back together with the new screen on. However it was on 1% battery! Baring in mind I had charged the phone to 100% the night before and never had any issues with the battery previously!"
  • "On Tuesday, I still didn't have any news about my phone, so I decided to call. He said he still didn't order the battery, but it would be more expensive. £45 now. I said okay. On Wednesday, he called me to say the problem wasn't the battery. The battery was fine. Instead, the mother board was the problem. The price now, £60."
  • "I had water in my phone and the man fixed it and put a new battery in, he also put me a new screen and screen protector on, it was all done within an hour, what a friendly guy with all round excellent service Thank you."
