    If you are reading this wondering if you should get your phone fixed here... Do not hesitate, this…read moreplace is legit. My iPhone screen was shattered, I had the manager Bruce help me, he was perfect and fast!!! I walked around the mall for 30 minutes and came back to a fixed phone looking amazing!!! Thank you Bruce for your help and service I will recommend you to everyone... The price was perfect also and they had a special going on I got $10 off because the Patriots won the Super Bowl

    Brought my phone in to have a cracked screen replaced. Once completed, the new screen they had…read moreinstalled was coming off in one of the corners and the side. I then brought the phone back four separate times to have this problem repaired. Throughout the process, it became evident Mr. Fix really didn't want to keep trying to fix his flawed screen installation. Instead he tried to sell me a protective case b/c as he stated, "the new screen was not likely to ever adhere properly". Mr. Fix then told me that they have not been able properly install new screens on Motorola phones and that the manufacturer uses some laser guided gluing process that could not be done by him. I then asked for a refund and he refused. So, I called the owner (Agil) of Mr. Fix & Customize. After some heated verbal debate, he offered to refund my money only if I allowed them to take the screen they improperly installed off my phone leaving me with a disassembled phone to have repaired by someone else who could fix this phone properly. I offered instead to bring the screen that he installed back once I had the screen replaced by someone who knew what they were doing, but he refused this as well. There is a reason why they offer only a 90-day warrantee on their screen repair - it is going to fail. The service manager knew Mr. Fix could not properly fix Motorola phone screens (and probably many other brands too), yet he never once mentioned this when I brought the phone in for repair and paid him up front. The botched repair and refusal to refund my money is bad customer service. The fact that he took my money for a service he knew he could not provide constitutes fraud. "Broken screen replacement" is the first thing listed on their business card leading one to think they could successfully do this. Perhaps the screen that is now peeling off my phone is considered the "Customization" by Mr. Fix & Customize. Better yet, maybe Mr. Fix should stick to "Customizing" phones by selling protective cases and leave the "Fixing" to someone who actually knows how to do it.

    Let me tell you a story about how I HAD TO CALL THE POLICE TO GET MY PHONE BACK…read more (Tl:dr- these guys will tell you anything you want to hear to get your money, they also seem to have three business names for the same place) Day 1, Thursday. Call these people up and tell them I have a Samsung 7 with a broken display screen and want to surprise my guy by fixing his phone. Guy on the phone (the smaller one of the 2) tells me "oh yes, come down it will be 40 minutes!" GREAT! Go down an hour later, just the one guy there. He looks at the phone and sees cracks in the plastic backing of the phone and tells me I HAVE to replace both. Uh. Ok. I guess. Then he quotes me $200. The same price as the deductible on our insurance. He's already got the phone and I'm a little anxious but I agree. Screw it, I think, I just want it done quick. THEN he tells me, without looking anywhere, that they don't have the parts and he can have them in the morning ..."early". He asks for a down payment of $100 plus tax. I don't feel good about it but I pay it. I tell him I'm taking the phone back home and will bring it back in the morning so my guy didn't notice anything missing and spoil the surprise. Day 2. 11am I drop the phone off, the parts still hadn't arrived. He is already acting weird and over-explain-y but I think nothing of it. I told him no worries and just call me later when it's ready. No call ever comes. I call just before 5 worried they'd closed and forgotten me. Same guy answers "yeah the delivery did not come. Maybe tomorrow." No apology. Seems annoyed that I'm disappointed. I say ok, knowing my surprise was ruined but at least the phone would be fixed. Shit happens, right? I tell him ok and hang up. Day 3. No calls. I call again later in the afternoon and he says "yeah, the delivery did not come." NO APOLOGY. "Monday morning, 8am it will be here" he lies. Sorry did I spoil the suspense? Day 4 is Sunday and they are closed. Day 5. No calls. Now my guy is involved and HE calls. They tell us it will be ready at 8 PM(!). 8pm comes and goes, no call. Then they call us at 8:30 and rudely tell me to come get the phone. We didn't plan on going out at 8pm, but to just pick it up the next morning. But again, whatever, it's fixed! Walk in to two men this time. They show me, careful not to hand me, the phone. The display screen is fixed, the back plastic is completely missing, exposed phone guts and all. We look at them confused. I ask why he told me it was done on the phone. They begin what would become an hour of saying the same things to me, except slower and slower like I was an idiot. He says "you pay now (the remaining $100 of my $200 quote) and bring phone back in 2 days and I fix the back." I say "no, Ill pay the balance when the job is done." I explain calmly to him that this is atrocious customer service, that I've been told something different every day and now they had just demanded I come get the phone at night and pay in full and just hope the back comes in. I say I will bring the phone back and pay the 2nd half when the 2nd half of the job was done. Obviously we want the back. And what if something happens to it? He then tells me I'm robbing him because he paid $170 for the screen on the front and only $30 for the back. So I owe him $70 if I want the phone. That's right folks. He said his cost of goods totaled $200. So this is a no-profit business? I'm a business owner, I tell him, that makes no sense. They start shouting at us to leave the store, that their landlord makes them close at 8, "YOU WANT YOUR PHONE I WANT MY MONEY" he yells. So I tell him calmly I'm not leaving and he can argue with the police and we will honor what they say. I start filming as they're getting hostile until an officer shows up. He listened patiently and after a few minutes, he told the guys to just give the property back and settle it in court if they want. They argue with him too, "we spent $200 and the boss (who is not in the country they said) would charge HIM" and all this bullshit. The cop clearly put together that no business would charge zero profit and he asked us to go outside. A few minutes later he came out with our backless phone. DO NOT GO HERE!!! Con artists!

    The only reason I rate this three stars. Is solely because If you press. the middle of my screen on…read moremy iphone, It clicks and moves like it wasn't installed 100% correct. At the same time, I must also point out that. From the time I walked in the store. He said it would take him 20 minutes. To replace the screen.,, and it took him exactly that.. It wasnt the owner but I think it should be installed correctly when you pay $80.00 for a new screen. In today's. Months later, I need a new screen all over again., but it was from my doing not. Anyone else's. So I am about to have them replace it again. And let's see how it comes out this time.fingers crossed!!!!

    Maddening. Remember, these sales reps do not care about you. They are there to make the sale…read more Period. I'm taking deep breaths. All the guy had to do was say he didn't know details regarding international coverage, but instead he opted to lie to get the sale & get us out the door. We were set up with the wrong plan that didn't have the coverage we wanted. Upon further investigation afterwards, and multiple conversations with other personnel that went 'round in circles, we discovered T-Mobile didn't offer what we needed at all. They should have told us this from the beginning. Instead we were lied to. We were told we were set! We are not. Only after calls with their customer service (unaffiliated with this store) were we able to get clarification on how badly this place screwed us over. Now we're stuck in a plan we don't want that won't help us internationally. Note: if you're out of the country for more than 90 days for work, T-Mobile will cancel your service & you'll lose your phone number. You also won't be able to get an international SIM card, because T-Mobile owns you. These facts were never mentioned. The rep knew our situation down to the last detail too. This place is a disgrace.

    DON'T WALK RUN! In December , I was lured in by a promotion for a free Samsung A71. I was assured…read moreby the store manger that I was enrolled in this promotion. I was charged for the phone on my very 1st bill. I called customer service and they credited my account. The rep claimed she "re-enrolled me into the promotion. I asked for a text acknowledgement and she claimed she was unable to provide that. When I protested she said "Mr. Donahue, this call is being recorded, if I lie to you I could lose my job" This month I was charged again and I spoke with Emmett who claims I'm not enrolled and that he has to look into it. When I told him I was recording the call he advised me to stop or he would have to terminate the conversation. He claims he has to speak to department that is not available to the customers.

    I had a horrible experience here. I brought them a memory card from my Sony camera. It contains…read moreover 2000 photographs from five countries including war zones with machine guns, etc. It was very important data to me. I could not see the files on the card so I brought it to them and before I brought it to them, I read online that no data recovery company should work on the card itself, But they should image the card and work on the image of the data. That way they cannot possibly screw up the original data. There's also a place to click an SD card with a little lever on the card so that it cannot be over written. Which I did. When I brought them the card, they charge me a diagnostic fee. I told him how important the data was to me, and that they should not work directly on the card. They told me that they understood and would not do so. About a week later they called me and told me they could not recover data and gave me information on another data recovery place With a special code I guess for a kickback. Instead, I took it to another data recovery expert. And they assured me that there was nothing wrong with the card and that they could have recovered any files from it, but they could see that the previous company had over written the card and reformatted the card during the period when they had it. Basically, computer, genius wiped off the contents of my card, even though they had told me that they would not work directly on the card. This is a devastating loss for me personally And represents months of lost work in thousands of dollars of lost images. So I called the owner to tell him what happened so that he could improve his business and maybe not cause thousands of dollars of damage to other peoples data. All they need to do is not work directly on the card. I thought it was a professional courtesy to call the owner to help him improve his business, and that it would be better than leaving a bad review online. I was told by one of the techs that he was busy so I left my name and phone number for him to call me back. Much to my surprise he called me back minutes later screaming at me on the phone. I said "Why are you yelling at me"? And he replied "because you want to loan me money". I said "no I don't". I called to talk to you about a problem at your store. To which she started yelling again. He was completely unprofessional and hung up on me. he never asked what the problem was nor would he let me tell them. I had been very polite to the tech I had spoken to. And I'm a polite person in general. I just felt that when something so bad is done by a business they should know about it. I asked to speak to the owner, because the mistake that was made is a mistake of processing policy at the store. It's the owners responsibility. I don't know if I've ever experienced as dysfunctional a business or as rude a business owner.. But I estimate the loss in my data to be worth about $10,000. I did not want to post a bad review on Google, so I called him directly so I could explain to him the problem so that he could improve his process to avoid doing this in the future. But it looks like they will continue to do this. There is just no excuse for treating customers this way.

    The Geek Squad told me this was likely a motherboard and to expect approximately a $450 charge. I…read moretook this to A Computer Genius and these guys ARE AWESOME. $149 dollars later, I received the laptop back the same day I turned it in. Works like a charm. They performed a diagnostic and soldered on a new USB-C charging port. No data loss, no hassles, no problem. Have read "some" of the reviews here but from experience here ... if you go in with realistic expectations, communicate exactly what the problems are - this is the team. They've been here for 25-plus years! You're asked to pay a small fee up-front to help cover the diagnostic, and they'll give you an honest assessment and ask how you want to move forward. I'm not sure anyone can reasonably ask for more. Great job - this was my 4th (or so) repair and you'll always get a straight answer.
