    This is my second time here. My fiancée has a bit of an iPhone dropping problem. Granted, this time around I broke her screen.... Here is the deal: if you broke your phone screen, you can get it fixed for $50 right away. We have a fancy screen insurance due the nature of frequent glass breakage... and frankly, I think I'm cancelling it. Our phone looks like new and it was ONLY $50! And trust, I've shopped around... all you have to do is drop it off and wait for 30-45 mins.

    THIS IS THE PLACE! I punctured my iPhone 8 screen in my purse after I dropped it in the club. (Typical of me) P R I C E Thankfully Yelp has the request a quote feature and I looked at around 15 different businesses in the Studio City/Noho/Downtown area and asked for quotes. APPLANDROID definitely had the lowest estimate of $50, compared to the $70-$120 estimates I got from other businesses. On Yelp, they were also one of the most responsive businesses!! ALEX is the MAN! T I M E The fix was estimated 40 min. at first, but then he came back and altered that estimate to one hour because I have an iPhone 8. The repair only ended up to be 45 min. after all! I ain't mad. I ended up talking to Alex for another 10/15 min afterwards. He's awesome! L O C A T I O N / S H O P Arriving at the shop (on Van Nuys Blvd.), I found that there is only street parking. I quickly found a meter on a side street for $1/hour (which is fine because the repair takes only an hour). The shop itself is very simple and minimal, which is fine! I was the only customer at the time (I came around 10:45am on a Friday). I decided to wait for my repair instead of leaving and coming back...the shop has a comfy couch with a TV (channel is set to Tru TV), as well as outlets. I'm sure they have WiFi as well, but I didn't ask because I was doing work that didn't require internet. Overall I'm thoroughly impressed. Will definitely come here again if I crack my phone. Knock on wood.

    After searching around yelp and other repair stores, I was getting very high quotes on replacing the screen on my Samsung. However I came across this place and was able to get the lowest price on a glass replacement. These guys took in my Samsung replaced just the glass and had me out of there same day. The price? It was only $80. I highly recommend these place to everyone. Right on Van Nuys, by the court house!! Thank you.

    Only shop i know that do glass repair only on galaxy devices. Most shop replace the whole screen making it way expensive. Brought my cracked galaxy s7 edge here for reasonable price. Great customer service overall!

    Clean and organized

    $300 Data Recovery

    Studio City

    I discovered 300DDR on YouTube after watching Brian's interview (youtube from 8 years ago). He came…read moreacross as very knowledgeable, passionate about his work, and genuinely focused on helping customers. Before sending my hard drive, I spent a lot of time researching the company. All I could find were positive reviews, which actually made me a little nervous because most companies have at least some negative feedback. I still wasn't sure if they were legitimate, and I was worried about whether my drive would arrive safely or if they would actually be able to recover my data. Before contacting 300DDR, I took my drive to a local computer repair shop. They had it for more than a week, and every time I followed up, I was told they would call me back. After several days, they finally contacted me, likely because I kept checking in, and unfortunately told me they could not recover the data. I then contacted another data recovery company, but they quoted me between $500 and $2,000 and would also charge an $85 diagnostic fee. I was really concerned about spending that much money without knowing whether they could recover anything. One thing I appreciated about 300DDR was that they do not charge a diagnostic fee, which gave me much more confidence in giving them a try. After doing more research, watching additional videos, and reading Reddit discussions, I still found overwhelmingly positive feedback about 300DDR. So, I decided to send them my drive. Once they received it, the process was impressive. They notified me immediately that my drive had arrived, and within 24 hours they had already evaluated it. They informed me that they could recover 74.46% of the data and explained that a head swap could potentially recover more. What I appreciated most was that any additional fee was only for the replacement parts and materials, not for labor. They also provided me with a link showing a detailed list of the files, photos, and videos they were able to recover, allowing me to make an informed decision before moving forward. Since most of my important files were included, I chose to proceed with the 74.46% recovery. Throughout the entire process, their communication was excellent. They kept me updated every step of the way and were professional, transparent, and honest about my options. Their pricing was also far more reasonable than the other companies I contacted. I can honestly say that all of the positive reviews I read were accurate. 300DDR exceeded my expectations, and I am incredibly grateful for everything they did. My hard drive contained priceless memories dating back to 2013, including videos of my children, wedding memories, family photos, and other important files. I had almost given up hope of ever seeing them again. No words can truly express how thankful I am to the entire team at 300DDR for helping me recover data that I thought was lost forever. I highly recommend them to anyone in need of data recovery services. One final piece of advice: if you decide to use 300DDR, make sure you are on the correct website. My husband searched for them and found several different websites, which caused some confusion. Take a moment to verify that you are visiting the official 300DDR website before sending your hard drive. Thank you, 300DDR, for giving me back memories that I thought were gone forever

    Can I give them six stars?…read more After a wild boot loop saga began on my phone, I was worried a lot of my data I had amassed would be lost forever. I wasn't sure where to look, and out of the blue, I decided to do some googling and came across this country with, needless to say, a very appealing name! After looking into it, I saw a couple of fantastic things that were green flags immediately: 1. The reviews were glowing (and here's another one - and I never write anything). People seemed to love the company's mission, and I even read that the founder (more in a sec!) created the company just for that reason: he didn't feel people should pay an outrageous amount of money to get their data back. 2. Brian himself. What a guy. He was active on a bunch of forums, and you could tell he put together a small, dedicated team who really valued that people trusted them with their services. And Brian and his team saw me through a bunch of the chaos, answering a bunch of my questions, putting me at ease, and then - through the wonders of the US postal service - procured all of my data again. (I'm backing it up right now - and if you're reading this right now, back up your data too!!) So, yeah. This company is about as legit as it comes, and if you're looking for data recovery in any capacity, you've found the pinnacle in compassionate professionalism right here. Keep on keeping on, team! You're rocking it.
