Repair Quality

Pros:

  • "I couldn't be more happy with my repair. I would certainly recommend this place."
  • "He replaced my phone screen in 30 minutes."
  • "They sorted out a phone that was not charging easily. They responded very quickly and I dropped the phone in and it was fixed, cleared and soldered in 15 minutes."
  • "Replaced a damaged Samsung screen at short notice where other companies didn't have parts and really great follow up."
  • "Great repair. I had a problem with my iphone and other repair shops advised me to replace the motherboard. But this store successfully repaired my mobile phone without replacing any hardware through rich experience."
  • "Fixed it and replaced the screen within hours of me taking it in and fixed my charging port for no extra charge."
  • "Resolved a water damaged Nexus 6P when my insurance deemed it 'not economical to repair' for what I consider to be a reasonable price."

Cons:

  • "Unfortunately my phone was beyond repairable but they were kind enough to lend me their spare phone to use while i was waiting for my new phone to arrive, which was really appreciated."
  • "Unfortunately my phone wasn't fixed due to extensive water damage, however this was through no fault of the staff."
  • "The screens they supply are cheaply made, third party replacements made from far weaker glass compared to their original counterparts."

  • "On collecting the phone there was a little bit of damage to the back case which occurred during repair, but was immediately told that a part had been ordered for it and it would be repaired without charge."
  • "While they were not able to revive my water-damaged PRIV despite all efforts, I am very satisfied with the service received."
  • "Went to the store on the 12th of April to get my cracked screen repaired... it took nearly a month for them to tell me that they can't fix my phone and actually made it worse."

Value for Money

  • "Very reasonable price and wouldn't take a tip he said he would give it to charity instead!"
