I am writing this review to express my extreme dissatisfaction with the service provided by Empire Phone Repair. My experience has been characterized by technical incompetence, lack of transparency, and unprofessional communication.
**Initial Service and Undisclosed Damage**
I brought my iPhone 12 Pro to this location for a standard back glass repair. Upon receiving the device, I discovered that both the MagSafe functionality and the flashlight were no longer operational. When I contacted the shop, I was told that the repair process inherently involves removing the internal magnets and that they would only be replaced if I paid an additional fee.
It is completely unacceptable to perform a repair that compromises the core features of a device without prior disclosure. I did not request a service that would result in a broken flashlight and the removal of essential hardware.
**Poor Communication and Follow-up**
To rectify the situation, I was forced to schedule a second appointment and pay extra for the magnets they had removed. The process of coordinating this was a nightmare:
* I had to call the shop five times just to get an update on parts.
* The staff repeatedly promised callbacks that never occurred.
* Their responsiveness was non-existent once they already had my money.
**Subpar Results**
After paying the additional fee to have my phone "fixed," the MagSafe functionality is still not working as it did originally. I essentially paid more money for a repair that left my phone in worse condition than when I started.
**Final Verdict**
If you value your device and your time, I strongly recommend taking your business elsewhere. This establishment lacks both the technical skill and the professional integrity required for mobile repairs. read more
