All I can say is Taylor did a great job on replacing my iPhone 8 Plus screen today. It was done in 20 minutes and at a fair price. Nice guy. We will continue to bring him business. read more

I reeeaaalllllyy wanted to give these guys a good review but after my experience here I can't recommend their service to anyone. After cracking my iPhone screen while on vacation in Carlsbad I brought it in to iSquad to get the screen replaced. I dropped it before going to the beach and picked it up 2 hours later with a seemingly perfect replacement screen. Later that day I started getting glitches in my screen where I would try to press an app and it would open one an inch lower on the screen. After that the entire keyboard totally spazzed out while trying to text - the screen was absolutely useless. I brought it in a couple days later and the guy working there (who was extremely friendly and helpful) put a new screen on. Even sooner than with the previous replacement screen I started having issues with the screen (literally within 30 minutes). The screen was not correctly calibrated and also had a weird bright spot in the bottom right portion of the screen. I ended up bringing it back and getting a cracked, official Apple screen put on so that I can now bring it in to the Apple Store to get it replaced. I was refunded my money but wasted several hours of my vacation here trying to get a quality screen. I don't question the integrity of this business one bit - the guy I interacted with was extremely friendly and gave me a refund without having to haggle. I just think the quality of the screens they use are just not good at all. For $30 more I would recommend bringing in your cracked screen to Apple and avoid any potential issues with iSquad. Their screens just aren't that good, unfortunately. UPDATE: Brought my phone into the Apple Store and for $140 got an absolutely perfect screen that has given me no trouble. Definitely worth the extra cost. read more

Awesome, courteous, efficient, convenient- I'd go no where else in the Encinitas area

This is how you do business. I stopped by and Tyler (Taylor?) sorry, only had a white screen so he replaced and told me to come back in a few days and he would swap it out. He not only swapped it out but included a screen protector! It is small gestures in business that go a long way! Thank you! read more

Taylor is so professional, prompt, and friendly. He repaired a pixel 3a that i thought was definitely resigned to become a paper weight. Top notch service. read more

Excellent service. I had gone the first time to replace my cracked screen, turns out the LCD was defective. iSquad replaced my screen free of charge. Very reasonable pricing and quick service. I got my phone back about an hour. Highly recommended! :) Thanks guys! read more

iSquad Repair in Encinitas is the best place to have your mobile phone serviced. Taylor is an expert techician and was able to complete what I needed done to my IPhone when the Apple Store in Carlsbad turned me away. He can work while you wait in most cases and has excellent pricing. He is the best around!! Delighted with the quality of the components he uses. read more

Brilliant service, sadly my clumsiness is making me become a regular but always very friendly, fix things quickly and provides excellent results - thank you! read more

what an awesome guy he stayed 20 minutes after they closed to help me fix my phone! Thank you so much Taylor for your help with my iPhone 11 max pro! He helped me so much and answered every question i had about the pricing and labor of fixing these expensive objects! Dont go anywhere else! They are the cheapest most effective and fastest! read more

Excellent and speedy! Taylor was helpful and even let us watch the repair. Nice shop. We'll be back since I drop all phones.

Great job, Very fast. iPhone XR is good as new. Recommend to anyone looking to fix their screen.

Awesome!!! It was very quick and efficient! Definitely would recommend stopping by if you need a repair!!

The guys working in this shop are really nice guys but unfortunately the product this business uses is absolutely terrible. This is far from quality iPad repair material. I recently got two iPads screens repaired within the last few months (one of them twice for a total of 3 repairs) and they have all broken. Here are my multiple issues: 1. The screen replacement material is EXTREMELY fragile. The first iPad I had repaired here cracked after I was pulling it out of the protective case. Yep, a little bit of pressure and the screen cracked. I took it back and told them it cracked when I was pulling it out of the case but they said "no, this happened from a drop". They pointed to a dent in the corner (that was there from the original break). There was no drop or anything so they were wrong here. So I had to pay again although they did offer to discount this 3rd repair by 50%. 2. The same iPad mentioned above got another pressure crack within 2 months. The same thing happened as before. Pulling it out of a protective case and the bottom of the screen cracked. 3. The "home button" on the repaired screen doesn't line up flush after a few days of use. This happened to all 3 repairs. I had to take mine back in because the home button stopped working from it "sinking" in below below the screen. They did repair this without charging me. I told them this happened to my wife's iPad as well and they told me bring it in, we will fix without charging as well. 4. I dropped one of the repaired iPads yesterday from about 2 feet off the ground (from a chair), it had a protective case on it. If this was a normal iPad glass it would not have broken but this one shattered and actually left chards of the material all over the protective case and the floor. The bottom line is the material they use to repair the iPads is poor quality. Just take your device to Apple so you can get quality parts. read more

I had the EXACT same experience as Mike P.'s review listed below. My boyfriend and I checked out ISquad Repair on Yelp after he had cracked his screen due to an undoubtable drop. He has an Iphone 6 and had shattered his front face glass (I had told him that his wooden case would be inevitable lol). Neither one of us having ever sought out iphone glass repair...we decided to go with iSquad. When we arrived, an older man was incredibly upset with the salesman, saying that their product was cheap and that he wanted his money back...despite our suddenly increased skepticism, we waited and decided to stick to our initial decision (I thought, come-on, they do have pretty good looking reviews right?? ...and they are local to Encinitas..a definite plus to us) Man, do I wish I was wrong and had RAN when I had heard that man ranting initially. THIS PLACE IS BEYONG DISAPPOINTING... So, please, if you are planning on getting your iphone glass replaced by iSquad...seriously consider our experience... as I would never write something so extensive if I did not know for certain that we were COMPLETELY RIPPED OFF. Just get this. First, They are friendly, convenient and quickly got the job "DONE". We paid $90.00, they provided us a "warranty slip" and we went on our way...totally satisfied! haha...NOT! THE SCREEN CRACKED THE VERY NEXT MORNING. We woke up, drove to get a coffee...and by the time we had gotten out of the car, the screen had cracked at the very top of the phone! It had literally not even been fixed for 24 hours. There is absolutely NO reason the glass should have cracked again! NONE! Later that day, we decided to go back to iJoke. Trusting in the warranty and ease of service we had received round one, we had anticipated round two would result in an immediate fixing of the product. HAHAH, nope. Instead, we are given the COMPLETE RUN AROUND...even with the salesman recognizing us from literally the day prior. Despite our protest, they said we could pay $60 and they would fix it for us. I couldn't even believe that. For $150, we could have gone to apple and had it actually taken care of. Normally, I am the first to support small business, but man was this place a waste of my time!!! I do not believe that ANYONE has actually had their product fixed by this "business"....and TRULY hope the owners read this and rethink the product they are choosing to stand behind (and literally ripe people off with) day to day If I haven't made it clear enough yet..DO NOT COME HERE!!!!! You should instead just set $90.00 on fire, then you will be in the same spot I am right now. read more

Majorly cracked my screen a day before I was leaving for vacation. Apple quoted $150 to fix the iPhone 5 screen. Looked on yelp and found these guys. Always happy to support local businesses when I can. They were able to fix it the same day and it only cost $100. Top notch service! Highly recommend :) Was also able to find a glass screen protector here- so next time it drops the glass on top will break instead of the screen. read more

iSquad simply crushes it with their screen repair. Great prices, great service, in a timely fashion. Highly recommended.

BE AWARE this place is a rip off!!!!!! Took my sons phone to repair cracked screen when we got it back was worst than when we dropped it off. We had to bring it back 3xs and they kept charging us and saying it was the phone $300 later. I then brought my phone $120 and the next day my replaced screen cracked, went back 3 more times and I actually SAW HIM PUT IN USED PARTS OUT OF THE GARBAGE CAN AND DENY HE DID IT. 3 days 5 trips back and my sons phone is still broken. I screamed and demanded the owner call me back, of course he didn't. They said they would refund me some of my money BUT THEY LIE AND HAVE NOT. DO NOT GIVE YOUR MONEY OR YOUR BUSINESS TO THEM THEY USE REFURBISHED AND USED PARTS AND CHARGE YOU FULL PRICE FOR NEW. read more

Don't let the unassuming bungalow discourage you as it holds a smartphone repair shop. to those that continually drop and shatter their phones, this joint is manna and run by locals, in particular, there's Grant. Being local, you can go straight to the source and have your phone fixed in the same day - assuming all the parts are available. If not, the parts can be quickly ordered or delivered from one of their other shops in Santee or Miramar Road. Without Grant, you're stuck with processing your phone through the corporate insurance and bureaucracy and perhaps phoneless for a few days to a week and without guarantee of your own phone being returned to you. As you know, we're all sentimentally attached to our phones. I read the argument that the parts they use are cheap, and I admit that's probably true, but we're talking convenience here and you still have to pay for the work to be done. I don't see many people taking the time to DIY nowadays despite the many youtube videos and accessibility to order parts themselves. This is the solution. These guys fixed my screen a few times which via badluck happened a number of times in a recent stretch and replaced the underlying LCD. Thanks! read more

Just got my iphone 5c screen repaired at isquad in encinitAs. They were very reasonably priced, very fast, and did a great job. Ii highly recommend them for anything iphone or iPad related. Noah F read more

As you can see, I have only one other review because I am rarely compelled to take the time to write one. I received excellent service here and at a fraction of the price that I paid last time I needed to get my screen fixed. Not only that, but I was recommended a product that would help to prevent my screen cracking in the future and my friend purchased the same product online for DOUBLE the price. I think his name was Grant, was professional, friendly and I would absolutely recommend bringing your phone here to get it fixed! read more

I thought my repair was going to take at least an hour, but it was down in 20 minutes! It looked great, and it was at a low price. My phone was not shattered, but it had many minor cracks, and I needed to get it fixed in order to exchange it for the newer one. This place helped me do just that! read more

So my phone screen on my Samsung Galaxy 7 which I purchased in July 2016 goes black. Big panic attack! Verizon says "oh no, not worth repairing will cost you at least $200. Better off to buy a new phone for like $800. Plus, to add insult to injury they wanted to charge me $40.00 to upgrade. (Go figure they want me to pay them $40.00 so they can bill me $800.00 for a new phone, really!) I saw the great yelp reviews on ISquad and I called their Carlsbad store who very calmly told me all I needed was a new screen, cost $149.00 and it would have a lifetime warranty as long as I did not do something crazy like drop it off a building. True to their word I have my phone back with a new screen and my phone is at 100%. These folks are awesome! read more

amazing service. super quick. great warranty. will definitely come again

Don't waste your time and look to go anywhere else.. This is the second time I have used this company to fix my phone in a rush and they went above and beyond both time to ensure customer satisfaction. Some of the bigger corporations should take a note out of these folks book to understand what real customer service means. Thanks to Mark who waited till 8pm on a Friday night to fix the screen on my phone and I will happily be sending you as much business as possible going forward read more

They should have a 10 star rating just for Grant. He honestly just wants to help you get the best deal out there and leave with a beautifully fixed phone! Awesome person with mad phone repair skills! read more

Have taken SEVERAL i devices here and all of them turned out just great. Highly suggest going here for iphone , ipad, ipod... - Mark read more

Needed a new charger port for my iphone, Mark was super friendly and helpful. Price was good, turnaround time was good, and his information seemed helpful. But what do I know about iPhone repair, right? Final product did not charge well overnight and multiple new issues developed, but maybe this is what happens when you try to fix one small piece of an intricate device. Decided to cut my losses and take it to the large corporation. At the Apple store (5 hour investment of time), I saw the internal pictures: two screws completely missing! Maybe Mark couldn't fit what he had on hand into the phone, and did his best, and I can appreciate that, but end result was a fail. Apple recommends replacing whole pieces (in this case the whole screen) to avoid associated injury from small repairs, which is exactly what happened. They open Pandora's box. But it was worth the attempt. I'm short 65 bucks, but I wanted a quick fix and iSquad offered one. Two screws missing? What's up with that? Did Apple lie? Did Mark rig the repair and hope for the best? Who knows. By the way, it would have been nice to get a receipt from Mark. Didn't happen. Who's watching the register over there? read more

Grant is the best! Missed him today but I will return again! These Kids know what they're doing. The service in unparalleled. I would highly recommend using, iSquad for all your electronic screen repairs! read more

iSquad Repair - Grant's the best! - Mobile Phone Repair Near Me - Encinitas, California

Fixed my iPhone 6 that was just 2 weeks out of warranty. Everything worked but the sound when using the phone. Couldn't hear the person on the other end and they couldn't hear me. Bluetooth in my car also didn't work with the phone. Weird. He took my phone apart and everything looked fine. There was no sand or water damage. He cleaned off some parts and put it back together and it works now. I can actually use my phone as a phone. He was very polite and knowledgeable and I'm super happy that I didn't have to buy a new phone or pay for expensive repairs. It was my lucky day. I walked right in with no wait, but while I was there, 3 other people walked up needing repairs. Not sure if they take appointments, but maybe worth checking out if you are in a rush. It's hard to find since it's just a little kiosk on the side of 101. Park out front. read more

I used this location several times and every time, I had positive experience. Grant has like a old time workmanship. He explaines honestly, fix so fast and super helpful. I believe his price is very reasonable compare to other repair shops. Today, I realized I won't be able to get fix because they did nit have a stock of parts. He geneously put a temporally surface for me no charge (he spend time for it) so I can get a proper surface of iPhone 5C when I have a day off to come back this shop. I thought he is sincere and helpful. I will come back here again if I broke it...again. Thanks Grant! Super recommended! read more

While I'm not thrilled about needing this service, I'm very happy with the quality, speed and price of this work!

This guy is the best, had a loner phone while he performed the work.
