Anthony was absolutely amazing! He made our phone upgrade experience so easy and stress-free. He was knowledgeable, patient, and friendly, and he really went above and beyond to make sure everything was handled smoothly. He took the time to explain everything clearly and made the whole process effortless. I truly appreciate the excellent customer service and all of his help. If you're visiting this Verizon store, I highly recommend asking for Anthony--he's fantastic! read more

Albert at the Verizon store in Arroyo Grande was super helpful and informative! I needed new internet service, which I had never purchased before, and he walked me through the entire process and made everything so easy to understand. He even shared his number with me in case I needed any additional assistance once I got home. He's super friendly, patient, and genuinely cares about helping his customers. I really appreciated all his help and would definitely recommend Albert to anyone looking for great customer service! read more

I came in last evening 08/15/26 to check my canceled international plan which did not provide me the service which I expected on 08/05 when I was in Europe. It was SUPPOSED TO HAVE BEEN CANCELLED. Austin was very vigilant in trying to assist me; however, overnight the $100 charge was implemented. I came into last evening again to AG office, Austin again assisted me to deal with customer service. He is extremely responsive, understanding, compassionate, knowledgeable, courteous, respectful, caring , supportive and extremely professional. He is a great leader and very professional !! An awesome representative for VERIZON !! read more

I would like to leave feedback for Verizon Store San Luis Obispo (994 Mill St SLO, CA 93405). I went in to exchange an apple watch band. I had been in the previous day to purchase a phone and watch for my son (13 yo). The lady that helped me was helpful but unfortunately did not ask us about watch band size and sold us a M/L band that would clearly not fit a 13yo. The band was unusably large. I returned the next day hoping to remedy this. When I told the guy that greeted me the situation, the first thing he said was that there would be a $50 restocking fee. This was ridiculous because 1) it was Verizon's mistake 2) I had been told I could exchange the watch within 30 days. He argued with me when I expressed frustration at this and did not suggest any options to help me. When I asked him why he couldn't waive the fee he just said he couldn't. Upon further pressing him, he said that they could probably waive the fee online. On even further prompting, he agreed to put me on the phone with an online rep (since normally calling in is at least a 30-60 minute wait). As I was talking to the online rep, I asked him if he even had the replacement watch in stock. He said he would check and wandered off. He was very unhelpful and somewhat rude, making no attempt to apologize or try and solve my problem. A simple "Hey, I'm sorry that happened, let me see what I can do to help" would have gone a long way. He then sent another lady to help me (and never did check the stock on the watch) while he (apparently) played on his phone and chatted with the other employee. The online customer support person and the other lady in the store were very helpful and immediately helped me resolve the issue. During my interaction with them, it was mentioned that the original guy was the store manager! Shocking. Pretty terrible example to set for the staff and terrible customer service. 1 star for him, 5 stars for the other folks that eventually helped me. This guy should get some training in customer service. read more

Kyle Yost, an employee here, was making fun of me with his other coworker because of the questions I was asking. BEWARE before you go here: this place is only an authorized retailer actually named Celular Sales, NOT a real Verizon store, and the employees know less! There was another customer in the store at the time who told me that Kyle was laughing at me. read more

Verizon - This is Kyle Yost NOT a real Verizon employee - Mobile Phones Near Me - Arroyo Grande, California

See all

Trust the negative reviews. These guys are cheats and liars. Check your bill closely because they quote lower prices than what you're actually going to be billed. And on top of all this very condescending and rude attitudes. And because of my experience, I switched to spectrum and now I'm paying less for Internet and cell phone. read more

Read your bill carefully. These guys - Cellular Sales, are cheats. What they say is not what they do. read more

This is the shadiest establishment that I have ever conducted business at. Our shifty customer service representative fraudulently talked us into buying a home internet box claiming it was eligible for a promotion. We came in to clear this up and access our promotion when he SUDDENLY realized that the promotion had expired when he sold the first box to us and that we would need to purchase another internet box and service line to get the promotion. I wouldn't normally write a review this long but I have been in the store for my sixth time trying to fix this and the rep who is trying to help resolve this has hidden in the back room to avoid us until a manager returns his call. read more

Ask what the wait will be before settling in. It really depends on when you go. I've had both good and bad experiences at the Verizon store. We'll see how the deal they are about to offer me now, for switching plans, compares with the one I was offered a couple of months ago by a salesman there (who, by the way, I actually did like). In general though after being a customer for 25 plus years, my most recent interaction with their CALL CENTER PEOPLE has set a new low bar, marking the worst experience I've EVER HAD WITH ANY COMPANY OR CORPORATE ENTITY IN MY LIFETIME OF 70+ YEARS! It began when one of their agents called me and offered me a deal which sounded too good to be true. I carefully repeated the deal to her three times just to be sure and knowing, that in any case, the conversation would be recorded. When my next bill did not reflect the savings I contacted Verizon.They said they were unable to give me the deal and that the agent had made an error, and despite the fact that they did have the recording, they argued that even if the agent, while representing Verizon, promised the deal, they couldn't honor it because they would be losing money on it !!! read more

I want to give a big high 5 to Jay @ The Verizon store in AG & Atascadero. He was so very professional and patient with me. He talked to my daughters during the sales process, as we are on a family plan. Jay is a superstar! read more

Bad sloppy careless service. Bad or low stock. Unfriendly cold service. Watch out. Apathetic.

Just went in to upgrade my phone and was helped by Anthony. He was great! He worked hard to make sure I got the best deal and was very helpful. I usually hate going into Verizon stores but he made getting a new phone a breeze! read more

Arroyo Grande Verizon retail store (on commission) salesman tried to sell me a new $1000+ phone to replace the one that crashed, after just two years. Didn't seem right. So I went to the "real" Verizon store just above downtown SLO. Found out quickly that I was due a free, new, replacement phone, which I got right there and which the retailer had failed to tell me about, hoping to get a commission, I guess, on a new, unnecessary sale! Made a return visit to the retail store to complain about the potential ripoff. They didn't want to hear about it. Stay away!! read more

The customer service here is absolutely terrible. We went in earlier this week to try to upgrade our phones and the salesman Marcus, could not have cared less about helping us. His attitude was basically "that's just how it is, take it or leave it.". They no longer have actual models of any phones other than iPhones and we were told that the manufacturers just wouldn't send demo phones anymore, but Best Buy had demos of EVERY SINGLE PHONE. I will never go here again unless I have no other option. read more

My son and I went in to upgrade our phones. Damian Munoz helped us. He went the extra mile to ensure we got the best deal possible and were completely satisfied. He is extremely knowledgeable and made sure our phones were set up perfectly before we left. I don't live in the area any longer but go there to visit family. Next time I need an upgrade, I am going to try to be visiting so I can work with Damian again. I am a Customer Service Manager and so I can be pretty hard to please. I would be proud to have Damian on my team. read more

I went into the store this morning because my iPhone 11 started displaying "SIM CARD " failure. My research on Verizon's website indicated that SIM card replacement is free. The representative told me that was happening on all old iPhones and started pushing me toward a upgrade to the iPhone 14. He made no effort to activate my SIM card, and when I asked about a replacement he said it was $20. I told him that the Verizon website said SIM cards were free, to which he replied "oh they always say that". He had me almost to the point of upgrading two phones, when I asked about heart monitoring functions of the Apple Watch, to which he replied "that feature is only on the Apple Watch ultra". At that point I realized he was full of BS and only interested in making a sale. I told him to cancel everything, and walked out. At home, on a land line I called Verizon support and they are sending a SIM card, no charge! Stay away from this store!! read more

customer service at Verizon Arroyo Grande Ca just reached a new low in customer service . I walked in at 10 am 7-23 and was greeted by a female rep with curly brown hair. Never introduced herself, I explained that my phone was broken , she explained that the phone insurance would not cover the cost of a new phone and proceeded to tell me that I would have to pay a 200% tax in order to purchase a new phone. ( no I am not making this up), When I questioned Miss Curly Brown hair, why I needed to pay a 200% tax in order to get a new phone, she suddenly became hostile an told me to get out of the store before I call the cops! I have phoned customer support to complain , I am reaching out to Verizon Corp. to make sure nobody who ever walks into a Verizon store will ever have to deal with this Wench ! read more

We needed new phones, so my son-in-law took us to Verizon store where he had his account. We had Kyle and Eric help us. They were outstanding! A couple of days afterwards I had a problem with my new phone. Eric and Kyle helped me through it and made it right . All was corrected. Thank you guys, you're wonderful! I highly,highly recommend you! read more

I went in to change my plan, add someone to my plan, upgrade both phones and Sam literally made the experience so great. We were there for quite a while because of how much stuff we had to do, but time flew with her with how great she was. She's so sweet and funny and made us feel so comfortable with everything. Very informative and just an overall great employee there! read more

I do not reccomend this place to anyone. I was told one thing, and then it's another. And when I went back to the store to confront the problem, I got no help. All they care about is the sale, anything after that, it's a you problem. If you are trying to go to a Verizon, go anywhere else but here. read more

Not helpful, dishonest about deals, rude and dismissive attitudes. If I could get out of the deal I signed up for, I would NEVER do business here again! read more

Charlie is a great. I went in to see if they had any of the newest iPhones and walked out a couple hours later with the latest and greatest iphone and an iPad too! Even added a phone for my kid as well. great service. Excellent knowledge. read more

I came in for a bit of help and got brushed off by the doorman. He obviously doesn't know how to make sales or belong in a sales related store, period. He was extremely unhelpful, I walked right in and right out. This is the face of your store. This is the first man we as customers make contact with and his attitude is rude and makes people leave. read more

I purchased the Google Pixel Palm to replace an aging Samsung Note 3 and I am very happy with the phone. The service and process in the store is why this is one star rather than the four I would give to the phone. The pricing is sneaky and this is especially true of the "Upgrade Fee" of $40 for absolutely nothing. I visited the store three times, twice to try the phones and the third time to buy the phone. You walk in an the first thing they want is your phone number and an ID card. Not exactly a friendly greeting and to me this was rude. They might want to start with helping me find a phone by asking some questions. On the final trip I checked in with the sales person who put me in the queue. This person then stood around doing nothing for the next 15 minutes then called my name and asked how they could help. That was 15 minutes of my life I will never get back wasted for no reason. It took another 45 minutes to buy the phone, again for no reason that I could see. The rep just kept doing something with the ordering device and I just stood there looking at my watch. He offered two color options then told me that only one was available. I wondered why he offered and option that he knew he did not have. After checking with his boss twice about the order he finally processed my order. This is a work phone and the billing was broken into multiple parts for some odd reason, again with no explanation. So part of this phone went on our account and the other part on my credit card. Now we have to piece this together for no reason. After all this time he handed me instructions on how to transfer data from my old phone. The process was flawed and did not work on this phone. On the new phone the software gets stuck in the process. Now I face a decision of how to resolve this. Do I drive back to the store to figure this out or just blow it off? Maybe for their $40 upgrade fee they could actually upgrade the phone. The upgrade fee is, in my opinion, simply deceptive pricing. The phone did not cost $359 it costs $395. Add to that a case and screen the phone is closer to $500. The case was more expensive because it is case and battery pack that they strongly recommended because the battery in the unit way too small for the job. They were right the battery in the base unit it is nowhere near enough for any reasonable level of phone use. I will certainly not recommend this store to anyone. If an opportunity to change service providers happens in the future this store experience will be a factor. read more

Needed to switch over to Verizon. Called ahead and talked to a useless, bored Caleb. I asked if I should make an appointment. He was so disinterested that he told me to come at 1 and ask for Daniel. I was quoted a monthly rate for unlimited with Verizon at Costco two days before... so I had an idea of what I wanted as far as the plan with an iPhone 11. Showed up, asked for Daniel. About seven employees all standing behind counter helping one person. Daniel asked why I asked for him and started joking and and questioning the other employees and myself making me so very uncomfortable. Daniel said he was busy and asked what I was interested in. I told him and he said the best he could do was $115 a month. $25 over what Costco said. Just like that. No kindness, no interest in helping me. With ALL those employees acting the same way! I left immediately. Don't go here. Go to Costco. read more

For the first time in my life, I had a great experience at this location. I needed to upgrade my phone and was helped by Frankie Maldonado, who helped me through every step and made sure I left with my phone up and running. He even gave me a follow up call to make sure I was happy with my new phone. I highly recommend this location for the excellent customer service. read more

Went in an hour before closing time, was greeted and told we would be helped as soon as possible, about 55 minutes go by and still not being helped, wasn't even acknowledged by the employees at the registers, the manager was just hanging out not doing anything... once one of the "employees" was done helping out a customer, he stood back and was just chatting with the manager and didn't even check to see if we needed help (mind you by this time it was already 7:56pm and they were about to close) I understand if they are busy and can't get to you but why not say anything as soon as we arrived!? I wasted a whole hour waiting to be helped. read more

My girlfriend went in to get a new iPhone 12 max and the guy told her she can't buy a phone here unless she buys 3 accessories with it from that store! That's that BS! So we left and drove to the Verizon in San Luis and it was wayy better service was in and out in 20 minutes with a new phone! read more

My wife and I had a wonderful experience at this Verizon dealership yesterday. Damien was absolutely wonderful! He gave us a great deal on our trade-ins of our iPhones and helped us select perfect iPhone 14 for us. The set up was smooth and effortless. We highly recommend Damien. We did see employees at the store that also seem polite to the customers they were helping. read more

I've never felt so out of place. I walked in and their was only 1 customer and she was being giving a one on one customer service and as I walked in I told the very Alvarez the manager and one of the employee I needed assistant because I didn't know much about smart phones.. well it seem like they didn't want to help me more customers walked in and the employees set down and help them... keep in mind I bought a iPhone and their not cheap plus I needed a case and screen protector no assistant in that department either so I ended going to Best Buy... read more

This particular location has helped me with my annual phone replacement or problem that seems to pop up every year. I continue to choose this store even though it is a further drive because its always quick (15 minute wait compared to 45 at other Verizon's) Today I went in and was sat immediately. Luckily my issue didn't take much troubleshooting so the associate Eric got me out in record time. read more

This is the worst Verizon store I've ever been to. The staff is not helpful nor, do they even show a modicum of urgency or care about what they're doing. They all have poor attitudes and have no problem being rude to customers. It was slightly busy but I was ignored for at least 10-15 minutes before I was completely overlooked and they started checking people in who came in after me. Then when it was finally my turn I got the worst of them all, David. He was so rude to me I don't ever want to go back into the store again. I left before replacing my completely broken phone. I have never had a positive experience at this store I don't know what I was expecting this time. It certainly wasn't being ignored, belittled, and talked to in such an uncivil manner. read more

Nothing worst then having an initially good visit, only to have found out that you were lied to about the accessories that you have to pay for. I was sold a screen protector and told that once I register it I could came back to the store and have it switched out because of its lifetime warranty. So today I go to switch it out and I'm told that I have to get a replacement online and I'll have to pay an additional $12 for shipping. I already over paid for the original screen protector compared to Amazon and now I have to pay $12 to ship a piece of plastic? Word of advance don't be up sold on screen protectors and just buy one off Amazon. read more

There is nothing about this store that is pleasant anymore. Please understand that i have been with Verizon as my only phone company since i got a cell phone ten years ago. The store in Arroyo Grande was opened as a technical support store which was great! I didnt need to drive to San Luis Or Santa Maria anymore. When they first opened they were amazing. Everyone of the staff members knew about ALL the phones they knew how to trouble shoot and solve issues. Now all they do is pull the battery and if it doesnt fix the issue they insurance out your phone (if you have insurance) or upgrade your phone. No thank you. If I wanted this type of customer service I could go to any other phone company and pay alot less and receive the same amount of coverage. When it gets to the point where the technical store isnt worried about being a technical store but meeting their sales quotas im not interested anymore. Thank God for the Santa Maria store where the store manager actually cares about their customers. AG STORE NEEDS TO CLEAN HOUSE! read more

I hate going in here. I don't enjoy one moment of waiting for 20 minutes just to have a simple question asked or to buy a phone charger etc. They are also rude. I keep going here because they are the closest to me but i try to do everything possible to not go there. read more
