This place is AWESOME! Extremely knowledgable, affordable and very friendly. I would definitely recommend them.

Friendly and down to earth. Even gave my daughter a free box of breakfast cereal randomly.

Horrible. Not professional. This guy is a joke: * "open 10:30-6pm" according to the website. Got there at 11am and he was closed. Called to see when he'd be there and he replied "I'm coming. Give me 5 minutes". THIRTY MINUTES later he shows up. * when I went by to pick up the repaired ipad at 5:30 he was CLOSED. Told me his "hours have changed" to which I replied that he could change his website info. * my ipad screen was not responding to touch commands- he "fixed" it for $120 (cash ONLY) and it's still not working. Took it back and he "fixed" it again. Still not working. Asked me to wait while he fixed it and that it would take 10 minutes. NOPE, not falling for your disrespect of my time. JOKER. Not worth your money nor time. read more

The website and Google list opening hours at 10:30, so that's when I arrive for repair services. They're not open, so I call and speak to (seemingly) the owner. He says they open at 11:00. So I kill 30 minutes at a nearby diner before going back at 11:00. They're still not open. By 11:15, I went home. Because - as a fellow small business owner - it matters that I show up to my business. I went to iPhone Repair Squad on Piedmont, and they got the job done - and honored their hours of operation. read more

Quick service, friendly and my camera on my iPhone is works again. Price was fair. Cash only though. read more

I have been taking my Mac devices for repair to Danny at Bigfoot Repair for years. He is fast and professional, genuinely curious about and committed to each technology challenge I bring, whether it is a cracked screen or a failed computer, and generous in sharing his deep knowledge and expertise. He does not talk down to customers or pretend to know if he does not know and explains everything so that you leave with more capacity than you came in with. On a few occasions I have gone to other repair places, and this helped understand how excellent Bigfoot Repair is. Very grateful to you Danny for the technology support you give me and my family! read more

Danny at Big Foot Repair is an electronic wizard and is incredibly friendly and nice to boot. My Samsung S22 had a broken screen and Danny had the part brought up by uber and fixed it in half an hour. There are plenty of phone repair places, but I have never come across someone as kind and helpful as Danny. It doesn't stop there. Danny will fix computers, laptops and computer screens. His knowledge, I feel, is unparalleled. Love this place! read more

I suddenly was unable to get into 2 of my 3 email addresses. I spent a week or so trying to figure out what to do. I spent about 1.5 hours with Samsung 'help.' They were unable to find the problem. I also tried Yahoo since one of the emails is a Yahoo account. No luck there, either. Then I took it to Big Foot, and he fixed it in about 15 minutes. He actually understood the problem. Neither Samsung nor Yahoo ever did get it. If you have a problem with your phone, but the phone itself doesn't need repair, it is hard to find a professional who will work on it. Big Foot can and will. - read more

Had both my iPad (charger port) and iPhone (battery) repaired here. Fast, efficient, and professional service. Highly recommend. read more

Fast repair and phones fixed as promised I've had several iPhone screens replaced Sometimes hours seem approximate - call first. read more

Basically this guy messed up my screen. I took my android phone in to get the battery replaced. The guy said he could do it, but it might have been a rush job; it was the end of the day. When I got the phone back, the screen had what looked like some grains or bubbles near the bottom. The bottom buttons on the touch screen started behaving erratically. Things were popping up, going into split screen, into background, back up, etc. as I watched the buttons flash. I had to take it back for another battery swap but he didn't or couldn't fix it. The screen is now acting up at random intervals, and is coming unglued to boot. So instead of extending the life of my phone, I spent $ to make sure I really needed a new one. read more

Bigfoot iPhone Repair worked wonders on my seven-year-old laptop, and it's now functioning flawlessly. My boyfriend and I are impressed with their efficient service and expertise in bringing our device back to life. read more

The first time I came to them for a repair it was for the screen on my Wacom Cintiq Companion 2. The guy who owns the shop, I believe his name is Tom, worked on it for a while, but in the end couldn't replace the screen because he couldn't order the parts from Wacom. He didn't charge me a dime. I would have expected to have at least been charged for his time. He's a real stand up guy! The second time I just needed a simple task, replacing my optical drive on my computer which needed a torx screw driver (which I didn't have). He swapped it out quickly on the spot... again, no charge. Thanks Bigfoot Repair! I'm so glad you're in the neighborhood! read more

Fixed my phone that fell in washing machine while I waited. I had taken it somewhere else and my phone still didn't work-- it turned on but SIM wouldn't read and charging port didn't work. This place figured out what was wrong and did it fast and showed me what they were doing-- showed me my open phone and what was wrong. I am so thankful to them and it was a great deal! It's also so nice not to have it done while you wait so you don't have to leave and come back. He and his wife are so quick and know what they are doing. Literally the whole thing took half an hour (while the other place I went to didn't get me back my phone till next day and I found out when I got home it didn't work.) I will definitely be using this again if needed-- although I hope I won't need it! read more

Screen repair on my iPhone X. The third time I've had to repair that slippery little phone! It was more expensive than Chinatown but it was also a lot faster (20 min) and I didn't have to go back because they screwed up my wifi after cracking the phone open. Would recommend and happy they are part of the neighborhood. I also hope I don't have to go back. read more

A buddy of mine recommended this shop since his contact left a previous repair shop to start this one. I've replaced 4 iPhone screens myself before, usually from damage, but this time, the bottom half of my screen just quit registering touch. I really wanted to get a replacement screen immediately because I had a bunch of job interviews lined up and couldn't wait for one to ship. These guys were able to sell me one (all the other shops I called wouldn't). Because I was 99% sure a new screen was the fix and not 100%, they even let me connect it to verify a new screen was the fix, and it was. Thanks so much, guys. read more

I shopped around and this was the only place that was willing to replace the *back* glass on my iPhone. The price was more than fair and they ended up saving me way more money on my trade-in. read more

Excellent service, quick and on time. I recommend them. Margaret Alexander read more

Shattered my iPad screen. Having attempted that same kind of repair in the past with my old iPad, I decided it was worth my time and money to let the experts handle it. He said it would take 90 minutes. Got a call back after an hour. Good as new and saved me a big repair headache. read more

Danny was awesome. He was clear and upfront about the cost and had the parts for my daughters smashed iPhone 13 case in just a couple of days. He did the repair in just two hours. And even more amazing is he charged me less than he had quoted. I'm not saying to expect that every time but I could not have asked for better service! Danny is the guy to call! I know I will be back. read more

My Samsung tab got fixed inhere,Super nice service, get work done professionally. Thank you .

I brought in my MacBook because the battery was not holding the charge. Excellent service. Very knowledgeable and very thorough. Did not try and nickel and dime me or take advantage of my lack of tech knowledge - which is rare in this industry. High recommend read more

The name on the outside of this store if "Fix It," which is all that you need to know about the remarkable service that it provides. If you have an ailing or broken electronic device, Bigfoot Repair can repair it -- if that's possible. Aside from the techies' expertise, they're also very KIND and THOUGHTFUL. This is particularly true in the case of Tom, who's helped me twice -- at no charge, he said, because fixing my ailing Android cellphone was "no big deal." In an era in which most of us are becoming increasingly dependent upon our electronic devices, it is a Godsend to have a store like this. That's it's located in the wonderful Laurel District is a bonus! read more

Whenever you have one of those "holy fuck" moments with your beloved iPhone, these good folks, will likely save you from yourself. Through the years, I've gotten multiple shattered screens and broken down batteries and Bigfoot has saved all my phones through multiple incarnations before shelling out the big bucks for a new iPhone. They are lightning fast with service. I don't think I've ever waited more than 30 minutes. Bigfoot is on it! This is a no frills shop so don't expect modern decor or coffee, just a repaired iPhone in no time. read more

I had an unusual job - replacing the LCD on a high end Sony RX-100 camera. The part was available on eBay, but a quick look at the how-to videos convinced me it was a good idea to find someone with the right experience and tools. I contacted quite a few screen repair places, but almost all do only phones. These guys were able to do the job quickly (about 2 hours) and at a reasonable price ($45). Camera looks like new. read more

Had my iPhone glass repaired. Cracked the screen when I dropped it on my tile floor. Oops! Good job overall; everything in tiptop condition after repair! It was $80. read more

I have used this store for replacing 4 Iphone batteries. In generla thigns have gone swimmingly but two day ago on our "mature" 6S the case suddenly swelled and things got hot, indicating a faulty battery. This particular battery had been replaced ~6 months ago so I feared it was completely out of warranty (and was not sure there was any warranty period). I took it in today and the owner replaced it *free of charge*!!!! He said this happens occasionally as the batteries he gets are not stress pre-tested (which I am sure help keeps is prices down). So, this is really a high quality store and I urge all Oaklanders to consider using it to help keep your basically working Iphone 6-7-8-9-10 etc. going and not add to the electronic waste supply. read more

I got my iphone 8 plus screen replaced for my girlfriend and I gotta say they were quick and price was just right for the amount of time I waited. Happy to see little store like this in still around. Apple would of scheduled an appointment then emails to pick it up then try to sell me a new phone while they would charge me for repair the old one. Hope y'all stick around. read more

Fixed iPhone battery for good price & cleaned SIM card for free. He is honest & friendly. I'm sure it's better & cheaper than Apple store also, there's almost never a wait & parking is easy. I will always go here before Apple store. read more

Story starts with stupidity, deepens in tragedy, followed by self-recrimination, but somehow resolves with joy. Left the Classic iPhone SE (yeah the little guy that fits into your palm) on the roof of the car... slides down the back, falls into the crack between the roof and the hatchback when I open up the back, then goes and gets itself crushed when I try to close the hatchback. If the screen was shattered then I was moreso. I figured it was the death knell for this little guy, and a replacement was going to take the wind out of my sails. But then I stumbled upon Bigfoot on MacArthur. I wouldn't even be able to write this review were it not for that Johnny on the spot, who did his work in 20 minutes, and handed it over with a smile. And at a sweet price as well. read more

I brought my iPhone8 here on the recommendation of someone at the ATT Store in Berkeley who said they could repair the cracked camera lens cover "cheap." I had to make two separate trips here for two attempts at repair and it is still not repaired correctly. While they certainly tried, it was a very negative experience as my camera lens cover is still not properly fixed. The first time the repair was sloppy and all of the photos were wildly out of focus. The second time was better but still not satisfactory. I texted them several times but got not response and said if not satifsfactorily repaired I would submit an honest review. The folks there are pleasant but I was taken aback by the very dirty office space and can't imagine how it was behind the closed door where they made the repairs. And the smell was terrible (owner said it was their dog). I guess you get what you pay for, and now I'm out $50 or $55 and have to either get a new phone or find a better place to get it repaired. read more

Called to make an appointment for my cracked iPad on a Saturday afternoon. To my surprise they said 'come on in, we can take care of you now!' $100 out the door and done in less than an hour. Professional. Polite. Efficient. Cheap. What more could you ask for?!? BTW CASH ONLY read more

Bigfoot iPhone Repair - They fixed it for an even $100 in under an hour! - Electronics Repair Near Me - Oakland, California

My phone is as good as new. I got a same day appointment. It was fast and easy. I will use this place again if I need a repair.

I got scammed out of $40, and I never got my refund that I was promised. I was told that it costs $40 for them to clean my water damaged phone, but that I would be refunded if there was rust found on my phone. Well, sure enough, there was rust in my phone, and I still didn't get refunded. Instead, Danny and this other rude SOB gave me the run around about how I wouldn't get my refund, they wouldn't fix my phone, and I had to leave their dusty shop with the same broken phone I walked in with. It was a waste of money and time, and I will NEVER do business with them again. I only plan to go back on Monday to get my money back. read more

This place is fast and the cheapest to replace my Samsung screen. They don't take credit cards, though, so you have to go in, give them a down payment for the parts, and then come back a few days later to get the phone fixed. It's a bit of a hassle, but maybe that's why they're the cheapest. read more

Had a great experience with Bigfoot iPhone. The portable digital control panel on my treadmill fell and stopped working. They were great taking it apart and unable to find the issue. When I called the manufacturer I discovered that the emergency pin must have fallen out. After taking apart the treadmill I found the pin and yes, the unit then worked. Why they get 5 stars was: 1. willingness to try to fix it (5 other places said no) 2. responsiveness once they had the unit / updates 3. not charging me for their time and energy once we realized the real culprit even though they had spent several days working on it. I will definitely be back with any other electrical repairs. read more

I had such an amazing experience. After troubleshooting over the phone with Tom, I brought my bricked phone in as a last effort to revive my phone before sending back for warranty. We were unable to figure out the problem, but Tom was kind enough not to charge me for his time trying to ID the issue. I will recommend Bigfoot to anyone who is looking for a great phone repair shop they can trust. read more

Don't EVER EVER EVER come get ANYTHING fixed at this place. Horrible. My phone started SMOKING at work because these idiots put a SCREW into my battery. They also forgot to put the glue that makes the phone water resistant, as well as NOT lining the screen up properly. I called them to let them know my phone had SMOKED because of how horrible a job they did and got a VERY unprofessional experience. Basically shrugging it off and going "well what do you want us to do about it?" How about refund me my $100 that I paid and reimburse me the $100 I had to pay to get it fixed? You know because YOU DRILLED A HOLE into my battery. Gave me back a ticking time bomb. SO DANGEROUS. DO NOT COME HERE. Should be shut down! read more
