PSA: avoid CPR Cell Phone Repair in Lexington and downtown Columbia (same owner) at all costs…read more I paid $190 for the iPad my autistic son uses to communicate to be repaired and tempered glass added on 3/12. They had to order the tempered glass so it took a few days. I picked up the repaired iPad already in case, with the technician affirming the tempered glass was installed. Yesterday my son dropped his iPad during therapy and the screen cracked. The therapist and I removed the case to determine whether it was just the tempered glass that broke - only to discover there was NO tempered glass ever installed. I took the iPad back to CPR Cell Phone Repair today and was told by a technician that it is impossible to charge someone for a screen protector they didn't receive and was accused of removing it. The owner Steve Doyle eventually slithered out from hiding in the back and announced he would gift me "free" tempered glass (already paid for one) but I'd have to pay out of pocket for the repair - a repair that would likely have been unnecessary had I received what I initially paid for last month. I asked for either a refund or the repair/protector I paid for and was told I could either "accept the glass offered or walk". So I'm out $190, a screen protector never received, and a busted iPad. And accused of stealing/lying.

Wow wow wow! Okay, so I dropped my phone a few times and cracked the screen and took it here to get…read morerepaired, they fixed it for me super quickly and it was as good as new! They've been perfect multiple times for me now. There was a bit of an issue, and I had an accident with it again and some of the adhesive came loose and my phone screen came detached (again, my fault with how rough I treat my phone). The incredibly kind people that were working got my screen working again and had it fixed in just a couple minutes without charging me a dime. I really wish I remembered their names, but it was a lady with cool colored hair and a gentleman with short dark hair and they both have cool tattoos. Anyways, They were incredibly kind, transparent, and went out of their way to help me. They even cleaned out my charging port free of charge and got me set up with a new battery! Thanks again and I WILL be back!

I cracked my phone screen a few months ago, and had it replaced here. I'd heard really good things…read moreabout this place, and they were the only place that could do it A) the least expensive and B) same day. I dropped my phone off, and came back in an hour like they told me to. The screen look wonderful, minus a little itty bitty chip near the speaker (like pin needle size, nothing major). So, like a few days later, I cracked the corned of the screen (I have really bad luck haha), near the speaker, but not on the "screen" itself. So that voided the warranty that they offer. Anyway, since they've replaced my screen, my phone doesn't black out like it should when I answer a phone call, and I've hung up on many, many people mid-phone call. In their defense, I never took it back to them because I figured the warranty had been voided and they probably wouldn't do anything about it. That is the only problem I've experienced since having my phone screen replaced. A few weeks ago, I cracked my screen again (this time it was in an Otterbox, ugh!). I plan on taking it back to Cellular Source to have them replace the screen. Overall, I would recommend this place.

I'll post this review with a heavy heart, I got a quote a few months ago by a female stating 30-$45…read moredollars. Once I got there, was a sat. I showed my phone to the only person there. Asked him for a quote to fixed an old phone (iphone7plus) has no value but I use it for music and back up. He quoted me $69.99. I told about my quote from lady a while back to swap my home button. I told him nicely I think I'll passed. It wasn't worth fixing for $70. As I'm walking away he started asking me what do u wanna pay? I said $30 ofc he then said how bout $45, I do $40. He started writing up the papers and he told me clearly. I can't guarantee that it'll work, I'm like ok I'm not too worried about it. If it still didn't work it's ok. Now on paper $40 plus tax. I'm like ok. He proceeded to asked me how would u pay for it? I'm like idk yet, maybe cash maybe card. He started getting upset, I notice why. I'm sure it's because he didn't get the price he wanted without understanding my situation. Keep in mind I just got these phones back from being repaired by someone for $337 for two crack screen. Bare nothing to our situation but still he didn't wanna hear anything I had said. He started giving me a lecture on things that really have no concerns to me. So, back to the payment option, he wanted me to predict the future apparently. I think he wanted cash but he couldn't understand my payment options. He seemed upset and very confrontational and something inside me keeps saying this is a red flag. I should run, but I didn't want it to ruined my potential awesome weekend. He told me it'll be done probably tomorrow or so, I'm like idk if I can come tomorrow. If I break away from what I had planned I'll try to swing by. A couple hrs later He calls me to tell me phones done can u come get it now? I told him I'm sry I can't im in the middle of something, I was actually at the lake having fun an hr away. He started saying why can't u come get it now? I wasn't gonna play his games so laughed I just hung up. He called again little later ofc I didn't pick up, deep down I'm thinking to myself, I should really go get it in a few days or a week just to get under his skin, but ofc I didn't. So, their store hrs was from 10am to closing, I got there at 9:12am not too worried about it, common thing its Walmart Supercenter. I can walk around window shop or buy necessities. So, I did , and at 10am no ones there. 10:15 still no one. So I had to leave. I ended up coming back Sunday. In mid day, when I got there boy he wasn't happy, so now I'm a little agitated since he's already offended me a few times but I keep trying to be civilized. I was still planning to leave a 5star. I just handed him $45 and told him keep the change. But ofc they have a policy to protect everyone with a sign receipt. But I already left being very unhappy, before I got agitated I told him he's offended a few times already and I'm still gonna post a good review for u, he was trying to tell me he's sry for offending me. I then walked away in disgust, he chased me down to sign the papers and I signed it but I didn't want to date it. All I wanted to do was get away from him tbh. I told him u can date it I'm out. As I'm walking away he said something that really got me po, he said to me out loud. Everything s recorded. I just went away. I really wanted to give him 5stars but it triggered me so much. What I really wanted to say was, ok ok I do have part A & part B Medicare! Smh

The samsung tech checked a module that controls input sources. It had gone bad. He replaced it. TV worked. Told me it was under warranty but that even if it had not it would have been 100 for the part and 50 for the labor. Not the 1200 dollars Maunz wanted or to sell me a new TV.

I also had to help take the tvs down because he did not have a partner and I told them I did not want to help because I had a bad shoulder. The tech's name was Larry. This was the first time I have ever used them and will be the last. This company charges an annual fee. Their tech ruined 3 tv mounts. I had to purchase new ones and they wouldnot even refund their 19.99 membership. This was very unethical. I mean their sending anybody to your house to do a job that they have no qualifications.
