Okta took the time to place all the precautionary measures within the swap of thermals to protect my Motherboard in full (kapton tape and oil application for the pad) I will be evaluating this for the next couple of days to see if the the temps remain stable but to be honest initial overview of the temps are fantastic! Okta, you're the man yet again! Truly excellent work!

The repair person (I do not know his name) didn't make me any promises. He simply said that he'll try to see if it starts and go from there. I agreed to pay some $$ for a diagnosis even though it wasn't requested when I dropped the phone. I told the repair man to charge me for a broken screen anyways if the phone was still useable. 2 hours after dropping the phone, I received a text saying that my old phone was ready, it has full access and charges well. I paid $55 for the (super fast) service. Competent, efficient and friendly staff.

I am incredibly disappointed with how this shop handles pricing and communication. I reached out on…read moreYelp asking for a quote to replace the display on my MacBook Pro 14" (Model A2442). They explicitly gave me a flat price of $499 for a display replacement. Based entirely on that number, I took the time out of my day to drive down, drop off my machine, and pay a non-refundable $30 diagnostic fee. However, once they had my laptop completely disassembled on their workbench, the price suddenly jumped by $100 to a new quote of $599. When I questioned why the price changed from their written quote, they claimed that the initial $499 price was actually only for a "B-Grade" used screen with scuffs and scratches on the outer casing. If I wanted a normal-looking, flawless screen ("A-Grade"), I had to pay the higher premium. They had my exact model number from the very first text. Withholding information about different "grades" of used parts until a customer's laptop is already taken apart in your shop is a highly deceptive business practice. Had they been transparent upfront that a standard screen replacement would cost $599, I would have opted to go to the Apple Store instead of wasting my time and money here. I paid the $30 fee just to get my laptop put back together and returned to me. Go to Apple or a more transparent shop that honors their initial quotes.

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!!!

He was very responsive to my text and kept me up to date on the progress of the parts ordered. I am not sure what the 1 star reviews were all about because he knew a lot about the product and even what I needed to do to have the warranty coverage cover the costs. Like most people in San Diego I have hardwater and it caused the electric components to corrode and the whole part had to be replaced. He was also very courteous by wearing a mask while he worked inside my house. I would highly recommend his work.
