The team is always so helpful, honest, and trustworthy -- qualities that are hard to find these days. Whether it's a cracked screen, battery issue, or just a question about my phone, they always take the time to explain what's going on and give me the best options without trying to upsell or pressure me. Their prices are fair, the turnaround time is super quick, and the quality of the repairs has always been excellent. It's such a relief to know I have a place I can rely on for something as important as my phone. I recommend them to all my friends and family, and I honestly wouldn't go anywhere else. If you're looking for a repair shop you can trust, this is the place!

Everything was done fast and professionally, and the phone now charges perfectly and holds battery like new. The price was fair compared to other places I checked, and the service felt honest -- no upselling or unnecessary repairs. Communication was clear, and they treated my phone carefully. Overall a very solid experience. I'd definitely come back here again if I need another phone repair and would recommend this place to anyone looking for reliable service

Oktay is the absolute best. Microsoldering / board level repair work is getting harder to find…read morethese days, but from the first few messages we exchanged I could tell Oktay was the right person for the job. He helped with a logic board repair on an M2 MacBook air, and the laptop is working great. He was also able and willing to try a completely different board repair project I had available that most shops wouldn't even be willing to look at. It's truly a breath of fresh air to work with someone who appreciates electronics and is able to save parts that otherwise tend to end up as e-waste. Considering Apple and other big tech companies only seem to push people to spend as much money as possible replacing full assemblies + endless parts etc (that are all glued together) this is why the right to repair is so important and we 100% need shops like this to exist. Will be bringing as much business as possible here moving forward, thank you!

The techs really know what they are talking about and, after nearly a decade of using their services, I just do whatever they tell me to do. I have only had to take something back once. And when I did, it turned out that it wasn't their fault, but was from faulty parts. They never said any form of "it isn't our fault". They just fixed it and apologized for the inconvenience. Also, the owners actually give a dam* about their customers.

They charged $129.99+tax for replacing it with a non-Apple battery while (i found out later) Apple only charged $99.99 Apple also provides 1 year warranty vs the shop's 30 days. The 'new' battery while performs better than my old one, it's not quite up to my expectations as one charge is good for around 12 hours (on energy saving mode). One more thing, when checked out, they solicited tips for their work which I turned down but nonetheless left a bad taste in my mouth.

Instead the repair ordeal lasted 9 days. I use it for everything so, needless to say, it was an incredible interruption. Furthermore, her final, shoddy hack-job repair failed after only two weeks as the glass began lifting on the upper portion of my screen rendering my iPad essentially as junk. None of the buttons or tabs would work. I would have to turn it upside down to do functions! Initially, she 'accidentally' cut the camera cord on my $800 iPad. I had to wait NINE DAYS for her to finally get the replacement cable. She said she could get it by the next morning. She proffered excuse after excuse, day after day, and my 3-hour repair turned into 9-day ordeal. Needless to say, when I finally got my iPad back, I couldn't wait to get her completely out of my life. Unfortunately, after less than two weeks of her returning my iPad to me, with her replacement glass, it actually started lifting away from my iPad! Not wanting anything to do with her, or for her to get anywhere NEAR my iPad again, I took my iPad to another repair place. It was fixed beautifully and meticulously. It has worked wonderfully ever since. The company that fixed Diane's shitty hack job documented everything. Diane used SUPERGLUE around the entire perimeter of the glass and she didn't even clean up the shattered, shards of glass from when I originally broke it. If you value your electronic devices--keep them far away from her. Speaking of electronics - she is operating illegally. Any appliance or electronic repair company needs to be licensed with the Bureau of Electronic and Appliance Repair (BEAR). She is not licensed. Additionally, if she damages your devices, you have zero recourse because she has no address. Even her business card is void of her last name or a business address. Stay far away from Diane the Hatchet Fairy.

Found Diane the Gadget Fairy at our local San Marcos Farmers Market which is on Wednesday afternoons. She completely redid the "repair" that was done and now my ipad looks and functions like new. She had to replace the glass/digitizer again which is $150. She also found that there was a missing piece, and the antenna was broken. This was included AND she gave me back the damaged parts. She has a background in engineering and really will take the time AND be VERY honest and upfront about what is needed. Mobile truck so she can come to you with her whole "office/repair center". She is in San Marcos on Wednesdays and I believe another market on another day. This is exactly the kind of person you want to repair it vs some young kid who wont really listen and really doesnt know what they are doing. THANK YOU Diane for saving me!!!
