I was pleasantly surprised to see that this location was remodeled. Once i got inside the manager pretty signed me in, and i didnt even wait 30 seconds until Ester helped me activate/ switch phones. She was SO helpful compared to last time i came here and some tall, skinny blonde (3 years ago) with an accent didnt even help me with the same problem, so BIG UPs to Ester here. She was determined to keep trying to activate my phone tho it keep failing, and mentioned my upgrade was coming up so she offered to maybe upgrade then at the spot which was a super sweet idea, but it was okay cuz my phone started working, and also let me know about the deals, price drops, and new phones available that i was interested in knowing more about. HOLLAH. ALSO, i cam on a thursday at 3pm, and didnt wait. read more

I've been a Verizon customer for about 5 years, every time I have a question or need something done to me phone or my plan, I come here. They just seem like they have everything together and organized. As soon as I walk in, they check me in, quote me on a time, and they usually see me sooner. A couple times I got free accessories, but thats just because the people were cool and they said that it was on them. Parking is plentiful in the lot, and it's in the edge of the San Fernando Valley, so not many people come here. It's right off the freeway and worth the drive out if you're in the Northridge area want great customer service without the wait. read more

Went here to upgrade my phone and am disappointed. My rep Javier was nice, but did not seem to know what he was talking about. The scan system was down when I was trying to purchase the phone, so we resorted to attempting to use the computer system (aka the Verizon website). After 15 minutes, this was still not working, as there is somehow no way to change the billing address and use a different credit card for purchase, so we tried the scan system again (which now worked). We were finally able to purchase the phone, but had to do a roundabout (and incorrect) way to create a new number for the phone. Javier told me we had to create a brand new line for no charge and then I would have to call customer service on my own and deactivate the original line I no longer wanted. After chatting with Verizon customer service today, even the rep was surprised that the employee had me do this instead of changing the number on My Verizon for free. Had I not checked with customer service, I would have had to pay $20 per month for the old line. I also had to follow up on trading my old phone in, as this also was not reflected on my account (but Verizon has my old phone). I usually have a great and fast experience at Verizon stores, but this was the exception. Please provide training for your employees to enable seamless experiences in store where they do not experience hidden charges and have to do more work after visiting the store to correct the employees actions. It is a very uneasy feeling to spend a lot of money in store and not even know what other charges/etc you may experience after the fact. All of this should have been taken care of in-store, same day. read more

Very professional. The young man that helped me made the transition from my previous provider to Verizon seamless and quick. The month to month prepaid plan is very affordable and the coverage is way better. The Mobil app to manage your acct is perfect as well. read more

This store employs scam artists. The sales rep who "assisted" me (assisted himself actually) added an insurance policy without my consent. When I finally found out he apologized for not asking me first. Avoid this store. There's a reason why this store has 2 stars. read more

Bought a new phone here and also got a Zagg glass screen protector and was told it has a lifetime free replacement... so I cracked it and went back to them for my free replacement and I was told I have to go to a kiosks in the mall for that... WHY??? When I purchased here and was told free replacement... Verizon tells me they don't give free replacement here and the place in the mall will but will charge me it install it.... I can put it on myself but the place wont giv it to me.... If Verizon it a dealer for ZAGG InvisibleShield then they should handle it, not send me to a kiosk in a mall .... I'm very disappointed in Verizon read more

I sometimes feel that upgrading my phone can be akin to going car shopping: trying, but ultimately rewarding. The folks at this Verizon store made this a very positive, easy experience. David, especially, should be commended. He took the time to answer all of our questions and demonstrated the patience of a saint. The store was quite busy due to the iPhone XS launch, but he gave us his full attention and made us feel like we were the only ones in the store. We were able to complete the upgrade of both our phones in the span of a brief 40 minutes. Thanks to David, although we live in Granada Hills, this will be our go-to Verizon store from now on. Great job! read more

Terrible customer service!! Make you wait while two employees check people in so ridiculous!

Went to Verizon to have contacts synchronize my cell phone with my laptop. The Verizon agent said that he is a sales person who doesn't handle technical question. I've gone to that store several times for technical assistance and this is the first time that a Verizon agent has told me he knows nothing about my phone. Verizon wants my money every month and calling 611 requires a l-o-n-g hold. So much for service. read more

If you think used car salespeople are bad then think again. These sales people are truly the bottom of the barrel. They use the bait and switch and sign you up for items you don't need without you knowing until you get your bill. I'm not sure if they are even related to Verizon any more or they pay to use the Verizon name. This is what drives me to look for another carrier. read more

Decided to stop in to take a look at the new iPhones and got a little more than I bargained for. Witnessed a customer in the store throwing a tantrum because she doesn't understand what an iCloud restore is...LOL. This woman was being very rude and obnoxious and threatening two employees, Jorge and Tony, with a shitty yelp review. I'd like to give props to those two employees for their professionalism in handling that situation. And to the lady, if you manage to be able to navigate here to leave a review, maybe go to the Apple store to get some education on your technology. read more

Service so bad I'm going to buy a hotspot from AT&T now. So just wasted an hour of my time in this store. Had to tell the person there what the problem was 5 times. Yes, 5 times. I counted. I kept saying "I called tech support and they couldn't help, they said to come to the store". The person helping me after an hour said the next step was to call tech support. I said I already did that, they sent me here. His reply? Well, they are more advanced so I don't know why they did that. You couldn't have told me that an hour ago? So now I'm buying a new hotspot from AT&T. read more

My boy friend and I came here last night to upgrade his current iPhone. Right when we walked in we were properly greeted and put on the wait list. As we waited we looked around at the newer iPhones and life proof cases. We probably waited for about 15 minutes before our turn came, not too long. We were introduced to the specialist that'll be helping us, Andrea. Right away she was very kind, welcoming, and extremely knowledgeable. Between my boy friend and I we probably asked 5,000 questions and she answered each and every one of them. Never once did she get frustrated or agitated with us. Throughout the process she explained each and every upgrade option possible. Not only did she take the time to explain them all. She even wrote each option out on paper. After reviewing each choice countless times we finally found the best option for us. We ended up with 2 iPhone 6S (buy one get one) and an iPad mini. Thank you so much Andrea for everything. You were very pleasant and patient. You made this whole experience wonderful. Thank you to everyone else who helped us. I must say everyone was remarkable. Even though this location is 20 minutes away from where I live, I would rather come here than the location 2 minutes away from me. Coming from Las Vegas my standards of customer service are extremely high and you all have left us blown away. read more

Verizon - My very first iPad mini (or any for that matter.) I'm a very happy customer. - Mobile Phones Near Me - Northridge, California

This place is a joke. I love 2 miles away and have been Verizon customer for 14 years now. I have never come here and had a good experience. They are always trying to steal money from you. The most recent incident is last week. I went in to buy a new phone, they tell me there is $80 upgrade fee. Mind you I want to buy the new phone straight Cash. I asked her to wave it she said they can't do that. So I bought the phone off amazon. And guess who waved the $80. Verizon phone support. Save yourself the time n money don't go to this crooked and horrible store. read more

I went on vacation and the next day my phone stopped charging again and completely shut down. This is the 2nd time this has happened in 8 months. An error code comes up that I am not using the original charger but I have only used the one charger I received from Verizon. Not only was I on vacation without a work phone for a week but when I tried to log back in it said my password wasn't valid and locked me out. I have never changed my password since I received this phone. They had me try to login for the last time which erased everything on my phone including pictures etc. When I complained to the "solution manager" (Jorge Garcia) he had everything but solutions for me. Absolutely no help at all and did not care at all about the situation. Not one apology, no options to help me but his card and a wave out the front door. Worst customer experience ever. I can't believe you allow someone like that to be a manager. read more

Wife and I had to renew our contract and were ready for battle. Store opened at 11;00 which made us second in the door. It took maybe 2 minutes before we were greeted by Lucy. Since I am always ready to do battle about rates, contracts, blah blah blah blah, Lucy was in for a rough go of it. (good cop, wife; bad cop,me). Lucy was very well prepared, knowledgeable and courteous. She was not only able to answer ALL our questions, but she saved us some money - ALWAYS GOOD! Not only did Lucy get us a lower-priced plan, but she was also able to add a "jetpack" to the account!! If you are lucky enough to get Lucy as your Rep, you will be one happy electronic user!! We also just read some of the other reviews, and are truly stunned. We had a great experience. So apparently, those other folk need to realize "You Get What You Give"... or as the immortal Michael Jackson says, "Start with the Man in the Mirror!"" read more

The team at this particular location, IS OUTSTANDING!!! My wife and I have been Verizon Wireless customers since the mid 1990s. We have had way more than our share of problems with Verizon Wireless, but since they were the only company that have had services the way we need that, we felt forced to stick it out. However, the team at the Porter Ranch store have changed my mind about Verizon Wireless for the good. read more

Went into the Porter Ranch Store where they told me I was eligible for an upgrade on my jet pack because I've been such a great customer for so many years so I told them to go ahead with it. I just got hit with a $100 one time bill for my upgrade. When I called customer service, they just passed me back to the store that did it and (no surprise here), they absolutely stink. Make sure you check and double check with customer service if you are ever promised anything from this store. Bad Customer Service. Shady. read more

I had an issue with resetting my PIN in order to port my phone out on Saturday evening. Customer service advised me to go to the store and show ID to reset. We dealt with the manager. I can tell right away that he wasn't going to get involved to help solve it. He just stated since the account is not active he can no longer help. Verizon was creating the problem and only a store can help fix it! Ended up going to Verizon store in Valencia. The salesperson got involved with customer service and was able to help in obtain a onetime use PIN for us. read more

I'd give them negative stars if I could. The "manager" Sergio is a disrespectful liar. Told us that "Black Friday" deal would give us between $50 - ? For a trade in but he would have to see phone. I told him online says $32 but he said it was more due to Black Friday. Drive all the way home to get the phone and when we returned one of the sales people said $32 without even looking at the phone. When we called Sergio over he said that he did not quote any prices. I told him that he very definitively did not give a price. I said you didn't but you gave a range starting at $50. We told him he was wasting our time. So he said well we could leave so we don't waste both our time. When we said we deserve more respect as a customer than that he said "well I deserve respect too." Such poor customer service. No way should he be a manger. read more

This is the worst Verizon store ever, I had a warranty on my phone and they did not honor it

Went to get some help w phone. Nothing got solved. I had to dial 611 on my phone and do the leg work. Problem still not solved.

Had to come in and have a number ported - I thought it was going to be a guaranteed hour with wait time and service. I had 3 kids with me so I was going in out of desperation and not looking forward to it. I was told to ask for Romy (not sure on spelling) and as I walked in I got lucky he was the guy who said hello to me. He was extremely helpful, kind, quick and exceeded my expectation of service from a Verizon store team-member. I have been a Verizon client for over 10 years and he was by far the best I have ran into...oh and he had me out in less then 10 minutes. read more

Worst experience anyone could imagine. I was treated as if I had no business coming to the store, instead the sales girl could only respond "we don't do that here." I was being billed for a line that had not been used since Nov 2015 and called 611, they said to wait til Aug 31st to get this resolved. So I go to this store and found both the sales staff and the manager to be totally unwilling to help me. I was so irritated that I asked how can I cancel my account and yes, they said call 611. Horrific read more

Worst service ever. Do yourself a favor, and NEVER come here. I'm very sorry Verizon, but seriously the WORST customer service. Walked in and two ppl greet us, yet didn't offer to help in a totally empty store! Another guy comes over to ask if we've been helped, we say no. He says is ur name on the list? We say no. He says "okay just came to check" and proceeds to help someone else who walks in! After we got our stuff taken care of, I had a question and went back to the customer service desk to ask a simple question and I was greeted with total attitude and a lazy disrespectful tone. I would say the guy's name, but rather not stoop that low. I will say, that was the very last time I ever enter this store! Never again. read more

Stay away from this store. I got ripped off by a sale associate. Her name was Lucy. Their sale pitch and practices were very unethical and illegal. Their are not there to help you explaining and clarifying the numbers. They are there to confuse you, and saying you that you're getting stuff for free and later on you got billed. In my case, she told me that I was getting wireless speaker for free but I found out that I was charged $199 for that so I returned the speaker. If you are not careful, you will end up paying a lot more than you should. This store gives Verizon bad name. I will switch my service to somewhere else. read more

Disrespectful, misrepresenting, not profesional...If i can give -5 stars o would. Corporate should really pay attention to this one. This store creates a bad reputation to the provider. read more

I went here to purchase a phone card - and honest to god no one could figure it out. After 15 mins of no progress - I said forget it, I will go across the parking lot to Walmart to purchase a phone card. Yes, I actually said I would leave Verizon store to buy a phone card for a Verizon phone at the worst place on earth - Walmart. However, Walmart has now been dethroned by Verizon's Porter Ranch. These guys are so stupid your better off at Walmart for your Verizon needs. 44th review and 1.5 stars Verizon? Hire a new manager and re-staff this location with people who know what they are doing. This is really a horrible representation of Verizon! read more

This store in extremely unhelpful and the staff is misleading. If have an option - go to any other store.

STAY AWAY from this location. The customer service here is terrible. The salespeople will tell you anything they can to sell you something and make their commission. And then, they could care less about you. There's one particular rep that has an attitude of arrogance and is an asshole. His name is Hector, he gave me attitude over the phone when I tried to fix an issue with my account after they made a mistake on it. STAY FAR AWAY from this location. read more

Raymond, Qais, and Sam. The dream team of that store. They set up my business account and stuck with me every step of the way. I wouldn't have gotten this business account of it wasn't for their attention to detail and patience with my 1,000,000 questions. They are even great people. Well done Verizon with these guys! read more

The employee that helped me (more accurately didn't) was so unimpressive. I was looking to replace a phone case that they sold me with lifetime guarantee and they were out of stock. He told me to come back when they had them. So then I decided to shop for one and he brings me 3 cases that looked decent but told me I couldn't open and try them. I told them what's the point of going into a store then, might as well skip their subpar service and shop online. He said, yeah you can do that. Lol that's laughable, if we all decide to do that he will be laid off. Anyways I asked if I buy it, open it, not like it and return it, he said I could do that. Seriously! At what point are you going to offer service? I guess never in this store. Online is a better option than in store for them. read more

Rude pushy and impolite. I just wanted to buy a phone. Sales person pushing me to upgrade service. I explained I just wanted to buy new phone, then the impolite person says he can't help me. Totally unprofessional, all I did is walk across parking lot to bust buy and bought new phone. It makes no sense how employs refuse to help when they don't make extra commission. read more

I've been trying to call them on the phone for the past 15 mins and no one has yet to answer lol, sick service

I came in here for help with my phone because it wasn't charging. I had to wait around for a good 5 minutes before a rep saw there were people waiting around to be helped...only to figure out that I pretty much wasted my time coming to the store to ask for help. The guy didn't really seem like he wanted to help me out. All he did was look at my account, and I told him my situation with the phone, and he and said that because Verizon can't fix the phone ports, I would have to get a new phone. He directed me to the phones, said that he would give me some time to think about it, walked away, and helped another customer. I, now in my frustrated mindset, was so annoyed that this was the best he could do, so I walked out of the store. I went into the store again today to switch my account to my brother's phone and my brother's phone to another phone as a solution to my previous phone issue. There were at least 6 employees standing around the entrance waiting for customers to walk in...I made eye contact with a few of them, but only one greeted my brother and I at the door and asked us what we needed. He took my name and said that a technician would see us soon. Well, 30 min passed by, and no one was helping us out, and all throughout the store I saw employees huddled in corners talking to each other and not helping customers out. They are clearly overstaffed and most of the employees are not doing their jobs. My brother had to go up to the employees and tell them that we were waiting for a technician to help us, but no one came to help us yet. So finally we were helped after having to confront them about our situation. We were helped at the counter in the front of the store, and out of 4 employees behind the counter, 2 were actually helping customers out. One was sitting down on her IPad looking at apartments from what her conversation sounded like (not to be eavesdropping or anything), and another was on his phone with an earbud in his ear. Long story short, I ended up buying a wireless charger for my phone as a result of the funky charging port, and it requires a special case for each different phone, but because my phone has been discontinued, the closest Verizon store carrying the case was Valencia. My brother and I had to go on a wild goose chase to find this Verizon store. We went to 3 different Verizon stores before we found the correct one. We weren't given an address or telephone number from the employee at the Porter Ranch store, just a vague description of where the Valencia, store is located. I really have no idea how this Verizon store trains their employees or how it is okay for employees to stand around while there are customers throughout the store. I am so frustrated with the customer service, and will seriously never go back here. I'd rather drive a little further to find a Verizon store with good customer service than to have to waste my time waiting around all day at this store. read more

I am beyond appalled by the customer service they provide at this store! It disgust me...when you come on to the store and know what you want you shouldn't have to wait 2 freaking hours!!! All their employees just walk around after they help someone and do nothing!! They look at you, they know you need help and don't bother coming over. They don't have the decent curtesy to come o we and ask if you have been helped or someone will be with you or your wait time. It's ridiculous how badly they DONT know how to communicate with each other! I could probably to their job better with my eyes closed! I will never come back to this store again and advise each and everyone of you to not step foot in this place, unless you like wasting your weekend and waiting around for 3 hrs . read more

Sleezy up-sell tactics (they must work on commission). Needed a sim card, technician Adam helped me; this dude has NO personality, not quite rude to me, but it was like dealing with an almost dead fish. I was back in the store another day, and saw this guy helping a couple, and wow, Adam was just plain rude to them. Sergio very helpful. read more

For the last time ever. I have to deal with this verizon store. As usual the employees tell you one thing and do something. I walked in and registered then went next door to get a sofa after being told that it would be 30 minutes. Well 10 minutes later and returned to wait the full half hour to find out that they called my name 5 minutes after I left. Not the original 30 minutes I was told. Today the cellular carriers feel like you are just a replaceable commodity Their customer service is gone and when you have an important issue they do nothing to help you. Avoid Verizon if you can. It will save you grief read more

I was with Sprint up until today. I've been on the family plan with my parents & I decided to take myself off theirs & start my own line but instead of letting me upgrade from the s4 (my s4 was starting to malfunction due to drop damages) to the s6 (contract wasn't up yet) even though I was willing to pay whatever fees they told me I could only get a refurbished s4 on my own line & then they would add an extra year to my new contract that I'd have to use up before getting an upgraded phone. I didn't want to pay $150 for a refurbished version of the same phone when just a few months from now I would have to pay money again to get the s6. So in comes verizon & Vincent, one of the most helpful people I've ever met. I decided to just go to them, pay the termination fee to switch over, & get the phone I wanted the most. I also decided Verizon would be best because my position at work requires me to be on my phone a lot & I know with them I won't be dropping phone calls like I did with Sprint. Vincent was patient with me & all the questions since I've never started a plan on my own. He went through my s4 to see how much data I use so we could pick the perfect amount of gb I might need. He made sure to go through every option I had & explained how the pricing of each would work out. He also gave me additional package options (like adding a tablet, or a bundle deal for multiple items) which was nice & I appreciated how when I declined he didn't try to press the deals & push me into purchasing them. In the end I left with a new s6 & a huge smile on my face. Yes verizon is a little more pricey than other services but I think it's well worth it & I'm incredibly happy with the decision I made to move. If you're coming to check out this store definitely ask for Vincent's assistance. read more

1 hour wait. $30 upgrade fee on each phone. $700+ in (possible) sale down the drain. They denied us the use of a bathroom while I tried to clear my fraud alert on my debit card-- you don't want to let me use the bathroom while I'm trying to purchase $700 in phones? I'll see you all later. Or not. read more
