Both are working like new now after barely working at all. Amazing price for the amount of work done, he even mentioned that he spent nearly 2 days cleaning out the volume knob that was all crackly when raising or lowering the volume. (who would do that for you..NO ONE.) Its like having a new Pioneer receiver again. Im coming back next time I have another issue. THANKS GILBERT!

Geek Workshop Vancouver is an excellent option for…read moreiPhone repair services; they are quick and professional. - The price point are also comparable to other iPhone repair services in Vancouver, or even slightly cheaper. - They claim to use the best quality parts they could find on the market, and I believe it is so base on my experience with Geek Workshop. - You can see your phone being fixed at their workshop, or you can drop it off and pick it up when it's ready. Both times have been effortless to deal with Geek Workshop; their prices are readily available on their website, and billed accordingly. - They emphasize on being environmentally-friendly and have various initiatives for doing so. It seems to be a husband and wife duo running the shop and they're certainly experienced with fixing phones. I was not the only customer at the either times I stopped in to fix my phone. If you need to repair your iPhone in Vancouver, my experience both times at Geek Workshop Vancouver has been stellar. ==== I came by Geek Workshop to pick up a secondary phone from Fedex and decided to try their iPhone repair services as well. For this instance, I waited in the store and they managed to replace the iPhone screen immediately. The repair was completed in under 30 minutes on the spot and the screen worked better than the screen I formerly had from a repair at JP Mobile in Richmond. JP Mobile screen worked reasonably well but the key strokes were not always accurate. The screen replaced at Geek Workshop worked like new and had accurate touch pad key stroke. They ensured to check and verify the functionality of everything before handing over the phone and then accepting payment (which they accept credit card). Everything about the interaction was effortless. The person at the front end was very friendly and knowledgeable. The work space in the back of the store was clean and properly appointed with various tools. (They even had some machine to the left enclosed in a plastic separation probably for other more complex repairs?) For the screen replacement, I was very happy with the outcome and extended the life of the phone a couple more weeks. ==== I also came by a second time for a different repair and it was equally efficient and effortless. I asked to prepay so I could go for a walk and pick up the phone when it's done. (Usually they insist you pay after it's repaired, but I knew there'd be no problem with their repairs.) When I came back less than 45 minutes later, the phone was all ready and working like new. They also were kind enough to give a free screen protector. (But evidently this may not be the norm... still their repair prices are probably on par or cheaper than most other iPhone repairs in Vancouver or Richmond.) ==== Overall, the experience with Geek Workshop has been very pleasant. - The price is clearly listed on their website so there's no variance and it's honest. (The prices are also VERY competitive (cheaper than JP Phone Repair in Richmond. They also do diagnostics if you need to find the problem with your phone.) - They have a dedicated and clean workspace to repair phones. I made a note of this so you don't need to worry about whether the workspace is dusty or not properly cleaned (such as food) when they open your phone. (In contrast, my repair at JP Phone Repair was honestly slightly haphazard work space; he was fixing my phone on the go while walking around the shop with a few things to manage. It worked out well ultimately, which is what matters, but having a clean workspace is important to avoid dust or debris getting inside your phones when it's open.) At Geek Workshop, one person seem to deal with customers, while another person does the phone repairs. - The phone repairs were always done quickly and without any incidents. They make sure to check your phone is fully functional before completing the repair or billing. - The couple are friendly and easy to deal with. Seems like an honest iPhone repair service; there are also no unscrupulous charges or surprises, in my experience at least. (In contrast, not exactly unscrupulous but at JP there wasn't any explicitly listed price-chart and they more or less quoted you various prices.)

In Sony's wisdom these headphones were designed with a battery which is hard-wired to the circuit board. This is not particularly user friendly. Moreover, getting access to the battery to do the replacement is a bit tricky. Recommendations I found on-line suggested that the battery replacement be done by an experienced electronics tech. That led me to contact David at Star Electronics who completed the battery replacement and as well advised on the cable connections between my Telus cable box and the headphones transmitter. I was very happy with the service David provided and am back enjoying the sound quality delivered by my Sony headphones. Greg

After paying him, I took the TV home and it would not turn on. He's trying to rip us off by saying he fixed it and his parts was at least $200, he only refunded me and kept the $40. This is not possible if he did fix anything he shouldn't taken the part he paid for back before refunding me, but he insist letting me bring my tv back home. BUYER BEWARE.

Parking is available in the lot next to the building. This place basically sells slightly used (or new) electronics at a ~20% discount off MSRP. Ever wonder where cell phones and other consumer electronics go when someone uses it for a week then returns it? They can't sell it as new, and it's too new for the landfill, so it ends up in stores like these. The selection is obviously much more limited than the stores that sell new devices, but it's a very easy way to score a discount if one doesn't mind that the device isn't brand new. With that said, the store does sell brand new devices too. My understanding is that these devices have been purchased and then refunded while unopened. Apparently such a device is no longer "brand new" either, so they also end up here. Expect to pay a $50 or so premium for such devices (phones and tablets) here. Still cheaper than MSRP, but slightly less cheap. Staff are friendly and helpful. I think it's a family run place. This place sells phones (both Apple and Android), tablets, TV, and even other consumer electronics such as speakers and vacuum cleaners. The store is quite spartan, but it's fine if one knows exactly what one is looking for. Definitely worth checking out if one wants to save a few bucks on consumer electronics.
