I came in a couple months ago to get an iPhone fixed front and back glass cracked the guy was very nice and so helpful (although he didnt tell me about warranty) and even offered me a discount on second device. Fast forward to today I came In because that same iPhone screen blacked out apparently the warranty on the past service was only a month! So the girl explained to me no warranty I'd have to pay and tried to help me understand but thought they could if done better read more

I have been coming here for years, Houston is my guardian angel. The amount of times I destroy my phone and he saves my ass. The shop is super reasonably priced, excellent customer service. I broke my phone 3x in the same week because i'm a tard, I dropped it, washed it, and god knows what else. And he saved me everytime. He doesn't beat around the bush or uses sketchy parts like the mall kiosk dudes or uBreakiFix that is in bed with apple. The shop is a good normal local place not a corporate conglomerate, or sketchy that is looking to screw you over. I'd trust this place to give me a liver transplant. read more

BEWARE Came in because I had charging issues with my iPhone. Houston (the owner) then suggests a new charging port to fix the issue. Me trusting him, I approve the repair. I come back after a couple hours and he advises me the repair was complete and plugs the phone in to verify. Upon inspecting the phone and specifically the port I notice it looks old and used, like the original one. I also notice the two screws on the bottom side of the phone are untouched and have dirt/debris completely filling the Phillips screw head. Had he taken these screws out to complete the repair it would have been evident. Though it wasn't. I bring it to his attention and he claims he replaced the port. I quickly catch on to the fact that my charging port was simply filled with debris likely lint. Which caused the charging issues in the first place. Houston cleaned the port out and did not replace anything but tried to sell that service to me not thinking I would catch on. Even after pointing this out to him he states that he replaced the port with a used port from a donor phone. Which to his defense was why the port still looked used. I question why he would even put in a used port when I paid to have a new one put in to his recommendation. I ask him to show me the old port that was removed from my phone and he spends the next 5 min in the back room "looking" for it but isn't able to, probably because it wasn't never replaced. Go figure. At this point it's pretty obvious that he's caught red handed and he knows it but doesn't own up to it. Very shady business. read more

If I could give less than a star, I would. I took my iPhone 13 mini in to have the back glass repaired. The phone was working fine without issue for two weeks before I decided to have the back glass repaired. It was a new in box, factory sealed phone that I received late February 2025/early March 2025. I took it in for repair in late June 2025. When the phone was handed back to me, it was warm but I had assumed it was from heat being used for the glue. I walked to my vehicle where I plugged it in as I got it back at a 1% charge. Within about 10 minutes, I had made it to my next destination and went to pull the phone off the charger. It was too hot for me to hold and had only charged to less than 10% and then shut down. I called Houston and asked how long the phone is going to be hot for before I can charge it. They told me to let it cool completely and try again... I did and the same thing happened. Days later, when they were open again, I took it back in and they said they would look into it. They, at one point said the issue coincided with it being dropped. I told them the phone had never been dropped, at least not by me. They sent it to a place in Vegas to diagnose the problem because they were unable to. It was sent back to them about two weeks later and allegedly, Houston found it was still having issues so it was sent back. At least that was what they told me when I called to check in for an update since they failed to keep me informed on the status. My wife and I were always the ones going in or calling in for the status. When they finally did get the phone back, it was determined that the IC and capacitors had failed and the place in Vegas didn't THINK Houston's repair caused them to fail and that the heat couldn't cause it to fail because of protective barriers. From my research and a conversation with an Apple repair tech, I'm being told that it IS possible for laser tech to damage the IC and capacitors to fail due to heat. Houston thought it was"fair" that I pay half the repair since it was thought that their back glass repair didn't cause the issue... which we paid. When I got the phone back, I got it back with the back glass damaged, both cracked and scraped from the inside of the glass as well as the sim tray was missing. I told them I'd like a refund for the back glass since I got it back damaged and my sim tray back and they said the most they could do for me was repair it and order me a new sim tray. I told him I was not comfortable with them touching the phone again. My phone also popped up with a message that there was a new back camera installed which he didn't not provide info on it but offered to "take a look". He told me that since he was out money from paying half the repair, he wasn't going to refund me for the back glass. He would only repair it. I din't want to risk more issues arising by having them make the same repair that caused my IC and capacitors to fail in the first place. The phone also did something weird during charging; it charged to 30% then started to go down. It took upwards of of 6 hours, but it finally charged to 100%. I'm still in the process of checking everything to make sure it all works, but I'm sure that even if there is anything else that isn't working, they won't take responsibility for it. They claimed everything works but didn't manage to catch the apparent camera install that I'm honestly not comfortable with hitting the 'finish repair' button. Seems easy enough but at this point I have no idea what was done internally to this phone. You can see where they removed the screen as the edges are scratched up. Nothing a case can't cover, but I'm not confident in the internal workings of it at this point. Mind you, their customer service is very lacking. There was ONE guy I personally spoke with that was professional. Other than that you have people talking with food in their mouth, rolling their eyes when you ask a question and testing and making calls away from the customer rather than allowing the customer to see or hear what's being done with their device. read more

The battery to my IPhone 8 needed to be replaced like years ago. Rolled into Houston We Have A Problem...and now I don't have a problem. Not only did I get new battery I got a cleaned up phone I can really use again. Great local business that fixed me up in about 2 hours. So while you waiting go hit up Sushi Pier 1 with all you can eat or Costco, which are all right next door. The shop was extremely clean and staff was trustworthy...beam me up Houston, I will return. read more

They quickly responded to my request as well as providing an estimate. I was able to take my iPad in and the technician promptly took it back to evaluate the issue. As quoted there was no charge to check it and unfortunately as with most things to fix it was more expensive than purchasing a new one especially at this time of year. This is in my opinion not a reason to refer this business. They were prompt, honest and courteous. I highly recommend them. read more

Fast same day walk-in repairs. Friendly staff. Technically accessible in a chat about the repair issue. Hours are tight. Remote convo gets confusing - just walk in. Good value on my screen replace. read more

fantastic local business, very efficient and great service. Affordable and knowledgeable. I have an old iPhone 7+ that I haven't wanted to update for a variety of reasons, and the charging port wore out. Rather than get an entirely new phone and all of the conflict minerals and money that goes with it, I instead took it up to the guys here to repair it. They had the parts and they did a fantastic job. Don't assume that just because you have an old device means you can't repair it and that buying new is the best or only way to go. Reduce, reuse, REPAIR where possible, and recycle. Highly recommend. read more

Called about getting the back of my wife's iPhone 13 Pro Max fixed. It was completely shattered with pieces falling off. Got quoted a much more reasonable rate than other shops and was told it'd be done in 2-3 hours. They kept their word and got it done within that timeframe. Will be coming back here if I have any more cracks or issues with the outside of my phones. Thanks again. read more

Laika did an incredible job of installing a screen cover for my new IPhone 16 pro. He was personable, efficient and knowledgeable. Houston we have a problem is a great store and I've been coming in here for years. Don't go anywhere else. They are "Global Class!" read more

Went here yesterday to get the battery on my iPhone 8 replaced as it wasn't holding a good charge anymore. There was no line in the store. I was greeted by some guy who said he can replace the battery. It took about 15-20 minutes to replace it. I left and came back and it was done. It saved me from buying a new phone which I was already thinking about getting. I'd come back if I need any work done on my iPad or iPad. read more

What do you do when your spouse keeps complaining about his I phone 6s plus not charging ?? After several weeks of comments (about how the phone won't hold a charge or the charging cable keeps falling out) I figured I should start researching.. At first we were going to just get him a new phone (XR)... but then after you tubing how the charging port could easily be replaced... here we are! There were several repair shops that could do this service, but since I was going to Costco, this was perfect. I messaged thru Yelp to get a cost and availability. It took a little longer than expected but in the end, hubby was happy to get his phone back and fixed under 45.00! I checked in so I got the 10% off! read more

I'm surprised he's still in business. He has no clue what he's doing. He lies and makes up his "policy" as he goes along. After he screwed up my phone and tried to cram an extremely swollen battery into my phone, I figure someone's gonna sue him soon for his incompetence. Zero star rating. read more

I am so impressed with this business!! My iPhone was water-damaged - black screen with no way to access my data. I thought the pictures not saved were lost forever. Some of those included my mom, who passed away. I left the phone with them overnight and received a call the next morning saying they fixed it. As part of the repair, they replaced my cracked screen -- and no data was lost! Plus, the cost was very reasonable! But I don't think I could put a price on those pictures of my mom. I highly recommend Houston We Have A Problem! Thank you! read more

Houston is awesome! He is knowledgeable and gives friendly service, and It is easy to recognize that he genuinely cares about his customer's needs. I highly recommend Houston We Have A Problem and give my five-star review for this reason, and I strongly suggest you go to him for computer repairs and support! read more

Let me start by saying Houston does fine work - although I dropped off a laptop there months ago to have the hard drive recovered and never heard back after 2 calls (80% of the data was backed up anyway so I just quit). But a really nice young guy replaced the screen on my iPhone 13 for $120 - totally fair. Now parts are let's say $30 (I looked it up could be less in bulk) - I don't think this very helpful, nice young man was making $40 an hour - which by all he way he deserves - but we are at $50 for time and labor - $120 doesn't offend me. WHAT DOES OFFEND ME is the request for a tip - starting suggested at 15% - and I am sorry to say I paid because I'm looking at this sweet kid who did the job and don't want to let him down - it's like buying Girl Scout cookies - you don't really want them but you can't say no. Houston - pay your people a decent wage and stop having your employees panhandle for tips when they are fine and capable and due a proper wage. read more

I finally got to this phone repair shop while they were open. I have a Apple 5s which I'm waiting to activate when a deal comes up from my phone provider. These guys are extremely reasonable, I would certainly recommend them for any future phone repairs or laptop repairs. I need to mention also, they are extremely fast with the battery replacement. Now I won't have to constantly keep my older phone charged. read more

I just went here today. Cayce helped me and she is by far, awesome!!! She was done in under 15 minutes. I used my yelp check in discount for 10% off and it came to $96.72 for my iPhone 6 Plus. It looks brand new and it was completely shattered. She did such a great job! I'll definitely return here if I need iPhone screen repair in the future. Lots of praise to Cayce. Hope she gets recognition from the owner for her outstanding customer service! Definitely a great experience. Try this place first!!! Easy parking too! read more

Great service! Had a really beast up iPad I thought was totaled and they fixed it right up! 10/10 would recommend!

My old phone is sitting in a deep, watery grave on the bottom of Lake Tahoe after an unfortunate and easily preventable incident, and my replacement iPhone was gifted to me with a cracked screen and questionable battery. I stopped by Houston after checking prices around town, paired with the realization that this location was in close proximity to my workplace. I checked in on Yelp to unlock a 10% off repair offer and waited momentarily to be helped by a young gal. In that time, I was able to assess that Houston We Have a Problem is a bird-friendly establishment. One patron waiting ahead of me was holding a pigeon in her arms as she made a phone call. I could tell she was not the same unknowingly kind-hearted vagrant from Home Alone 2: Lost in New York, because of the lack of bird feces on her clothing. I'm sure that like the woman who befriended a young boy being hunted by two criminals in an unfamiliar city, her intentions were pure. The pigeon received several kisses to the head, and an unyielding grip was administered during any futile exertions on the bird's behalf to desert. I regrettably caught his/her vacuous stare as it was cradled gently yet firmly into the woman's chest. "Help me," it seemed to ask without words. One cannot replace the battery without replacing the screen, so I replaced both. The battery cost somewhere around $35 to replace, and the screen was $68. The total cost was $101 with the 10% off Yelp discount, and the whole process took 20 minutes. I will definitely come back here if I drown or otherwise maim this phone. I am hoping a Lifeproof case can prevent further injury from its best challenger: me. BYOBird. read more

My poor little Samsung g7 thinQ was on its last leg. Screen was a mess with a total black out! It took a couple days, but I waited patiently and recieved new screens- front and back!Works like a charm. Not to mention, I got to see Husky dog, Luca! Thank you Alex! Thank you Houston. See you again soon, old friend. read more

Brought phone in a Saturday and the service was fast, friendly and reasonable cost. Thanks!

I have an older Mac desktop that I dropped off. It was unusable for many reasons. Houston resuscitated it in just a few days and it has performed very well since. I would recommend Houston We Have a Problem for your pc problems. Quality work, reasonable price. Laura Q read more

Great service! Fair prices and even gives you further discount with the 10% off Yelp coupon. Same day and product looked like new! Thanks!!

Great job and great value. I will definitely be back for future needs. I had my son's phone fixed and it works like new.

I went to Houston for an iPhone 12x screen replacement. He was quick and the pricing was reasonable but the screen is not OEM, my phone constantly tells me it's not authentic, and the screen brightness constantly adjusts itself from the darkest to brightest settings without me doing anything. Also, my colors are "off" being more vibrant than reality. I would have paid an extra $100 for a real Apple screen. read more

I paid them $65 and still have a broken phone. Got a little water damage on my iPhone and hoped they could fix it. Obviously a waste of money because now I need to go somewhere else to fix it. read more

Well, there's a first time for everything. I demolished my iPhone screen this weekend, and first thing this morning I started searching for a fix. I logged on to the Apple website, and found that it would cost $129 to have my screen fixed (I do not have Apple Care). However, the first available appointment at the Genius Bar was three days away, and they would need to send my phone away for 3-5 business days. Who has time for that?? Instead, I searched on Yelp and found Houston We Have a Problem. They were open at 9am, no appointment needed, and my phone was fixed in about 15 minutes, along with the addition of a tempered glass screen cover, which is supposed to help prevent future cracks. The screen fix cost $150, and the tempered glass screen protector was $24 with the Yelp check-in 25% off coupon. Houston is polite and friendly, making small talk while working away on my phone. He told me he has been fixing iPhones since he was in high school. While I paid $20 more than the Apple website quoted, the time savings makes it SO WORTH IT! Plus, I'm happy to support a local business owned by such a nice young man. Don't waste your time with the Genius Bar. Houston will take care of it! I hope I never crack another iPhone screen, but if I do, I would definitely go back. read more

I am very clumsy. Today marks my third time bringing my phone to HWHaP due to cracking my screen, the third time in just 1.5 years. All three times I worried the damage was too extensive to be repaired yet all three times I've had my phone back in 20 minutes. I will never take my iPhone anywhere else at this point. read more

I went and saw Houston about a phone screen at this new location. He let me know when he'd be in office and I met him there. (Since technically he wasn't open just yet) My phone screen wasn't broken, so I didn't need an in depth repair. All I saw Houston for was the application of a tempered glass screen. He applied it super quick to the front and back. It was precise, much more so than the Best Buy employees who apply the Invishield (not sure how to spell it exactly). I highly recommend him for phone repairs. He's personable and works with you and your schedule. read more

I brought my old MacBook pro (2011) in to see if there was any way to get past the blank white screen at boot up.

I left Houston with my iphone 6 to fix, which he did while I waited. My mistake was leaving my iphone 6 plus to fix overnight. I actually left it over two days. I received the phone back with scratches and a missing on/off button that is on the side. So he either scratched up my phone or stole my original screen and gave me a crappy one. He also stole my button. The phone was deemed unusable, but that is no reason to steal anything from me ! I no longer trust Houston with my products especially if I have to walk away. Beware he may steal your parts while you aren't looking. read more
