    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.

    $300 Data Recovery

    (752 reviews)

    Studio City

    Choose these folks for your data recovery needs! I had two WD (called Western Digital when they…read moredrives were made) HDDs that I needed data from. I was unable to recover data from them in different ways. Disc one was an external drive that would not power on. I tried removing it from its external enclosure and powering it from another, more different enclosure to no avail. The system was indeed down. Disc two was an internal drive that used to be my C drive- my boot drive. I removed it from an old computer after it stopped booting and put it into an external enclosure. Several different computers (Mac & PC) would recognize it sporadically, though none could access the data on it- error codes always came up. Before I removed it, from the old computer, I tried booting from an optical disc and other assorted methods, many other assorted methods... I believe I was very thorough in my efforts. I sent both in and received near 100% recovery. They said it was 100% from one and 99.9% from the other but I am unable to find that .1%. I got all of this for just barely above the $300 price in their name (each, not total). So for about $600 total (including new discs on which my recovered data was transferred and return shipping) I got this incredible service. The total price I paid for both discs at 300DDR is less than I was quoted at several other places for one disc. At each step they were great communicators, from their receipt of the discs to my receipt of the recovered data. I hope I never need their services again but should, I wouldn't hesitate to use them again. I highly recommend them.

    I used to backup my files regularly but I got lazy after moving cross country a year ago. Imagine…read morehow distraught I was when last month, one my SSDs failed due to a corrupt MFT. And worse it was the one that held all my photos over the last couple of years. I'm an engineer by trade and with other files, I might have tried to rescue them myself. For these important photos, however, I decided to go with the professionals. I did a bunch of research trying to find the best data recovery service to use and $300 Data Recovery turned out on top. The employees here are very professional and responsive. I submitted my chances form at 7:30PM on a Saturday and they got back to me within an hour. I was not expecting a response over the weekend. They gave very clear instructions on how to package and send off my SSD. I dropped it off at UPS the next day and by Wednesday, they confirmed they received the device and added me to the queue. Apparently there weren't too many people in line before me so I received a positive response the very next day. 100% of sectors recovered! A couple of days later they were completely done and after I confirmed they recovered my files (they send a master list of all files) and I paid ($300 fee + $105 recovery transfer drive + $25 shipping), they shipped my drive back. Total time from my first contact to receiving my data back: 16 days, and this was including Thanksgiving in between. I am very satisfied with the service I got from $300 Data Recovery. Hopefully I never run into drive trouble again (it certainly made me backup my files more frequently), but if I ever need help, I'll definitely contact them again. Now I can finally post all my Yelp reviews from November and December that I was missing photos for...

    Highly recommended. Crashed an internal hard drive that had significant data on it that I had,…read moreirresponsibly, not backed up to any other sources. The damage I did to the drive required Five Star's clean-room service, and they quoted a flat rate to me in advance. The effort of recovering the data ended up being very challenging and took longer than any of us expected, but at the end Five Star was able to recover over 99% of the files--and I'm happy to say, the 1% of files were not important to me, so the 99% they recovered covered everything I needed. Despite that significant extra work, they invoiced me only for the original quoted amount. I'm happy with the results but also the professionalism. When I first reached out to Five Star, they got back to me at the start of the next business day and, after answering a few follow-up questions, I had a quote and scheduled to drop off my drive the same day. Vahan and Elen were particularly helpful and professional the entire way through. It was really a pleasure to work with them and I can't recommend Five Star enough!
