My Large PC/Server died on the morning of Feb 16, 2026. She had worked perfectly for 5 years at 16 hours a day. Rest in peace baby doll. I live in Monterey, CA. so I went down to the PC repair shop on Del Monte Ave near Lake El Estero. I found out they were taking a long needed vacation and they let customers know they highly recommend that I take my PC service to Josh's shop 'What Ya Break', in Marina, CA right at the mouth of reservation road. Josh did an excellent and cost effective diagnoses on my old PC and helped me design out and build a new, quieter and more energy efficient PC going forward with an intel i5 Hex CPU, DDR4 memory, MSI motherboard and other important parts moved over from my older machine. It Works Most Excellent. So quiet I do not even know it is on ! Color me happy. read more

Josh is the best. I took in a Bose sound bar. Josh spent a lot of time to diagnosing the issue and repair options. Turns out it was just not a good option to fix it. Josh told me this right up front, no BS. And no charge. I will definitely us Josh in the future. read more

I had an amazing experience at What Did You Break. My phone was a mess, but Josh handled it with total ease and had it fixed in less than 15 minutes. He really went above and beyond by tracking down two different specific parts I needed to get everything working perfectly. To top it off, it was just the right price--very fair and worth every penny. If you need a fast, professional repair at a great rate, go see Josh read more

Knowledge: 5, professional: 5, value: 5 We had a laptop whose bottom popped open and set up a time for Josh to look at it. Josh was polite, friendly and very honest, and explaining options for the repair, the cost to order components and the cost to fix it. I felt so appreciative of his direct and honest approach and will be brining back other items to Josh! read more

I highly recommend this company!! They do great work and are efficient! My finances phone had a swollen battery and a cracked screen other places were trying to charge us $300+ for an iPhone 13 they charge us way less than that barely $200. Very affordably priced and didn't take over 3 hours like other companies said it would. It actually took an hour and is working like a charm! Will definitely be bringing my phone back next to get the screen fixed. Great people, very friendly. They showed us how bad the battery was after and it's insane! It was a danger and could've hurt my partner. A big thank you for fixing it immediately!! read more

Great experience getting my iPhone battery replaced here. Josh was quick, professional, and honest. I appreciate that they take pride in their work and immediately resolve any issues that come up. It's a business built on trust, and I'll definitely be returning with more devices soon. read more

I had a battery replaced on an iPad. It took about 25 hours to get it back to me repaired, which is great because Apple and geek squad quoted weeks. Great customer service too. I'm definitely going back with all my other repair needs. read more

I am lucky -- I live pretty near Josh and "What'd You Break?" but if I didn't, I would go out of my way to come to him. I've taken a VCR and a couple of stereo components to him, and am about to take in an older Mac Pro. A couple of times, he couldn't fix what I brought in -- not his fault but rather an issue of parts availability. And each time, he wouldn't take a penny for having looked at the items. I really felt bad about it. That's so unlike other places where they would certainly charge a non-refundable "diagnostic fee." Josh obviously likes his job and he's friendly to customers too, unlike those who act pained to even have to be talking with you. If everyone in the servicing/repair field were like him, it sure would be a better world. read more

Josh fixed my WiFi in 5 minutes. He had me up and running and didn't charge for his time. I hope I don't need to come back but if I have computer issues in the future -- this is the place to come! read more

I went in to buy a replacement glass for my phone. Owner explained that it was the cover over the phone. He didn't try to sell me something I didn't need after all. Very nice gentleman and I will definitely take all of my electronics to this store. read more

I forgot to rate them a while ago but I had a broken MacBook Air so when I was there the guy said it was going to be 350 wich was a amazing price compared to other repair shops near me that were overcharging me over 600 dollars anyways after 6 days he was done repairing the MacBook and it look like brand new. Recommended to come here if you have a broken phone,tablet,computer,tv or video game consoles! read more

Great local repair shop. Owner Josh was born and raised in Marina. I spoke to both Josh and his wife. They could not have been more polite or accommodating. A cracked screen repair on my MacBook Air was completed within a few days, just as promised. I will return here if and when I am in need of a repair in the future. read more

What a find! Great price, friendly service, convenient location. While I hope I don't have another broken screen, if I do I know where to go. read more

Josh is the man. Bring your issue to WYB and he will solve it for you with a smile & a "Sure can do". Extraordinary service & professionalism. Extremely economical. Well worth the money! read more

This Company is fantastic! I broke my Iphone screen. It was a white screen and not usually common, so he ordered one for me, it came in the next day! Then he changed the shattered screen to a nice new one. Speedy, responsive and very professional! I hope not to break anything else, but now I know where to get it fixed. Also i saw that he repairs computers, etc. read more

Took my son's IPad in with a shattered screen. They said it would be 24 hour turn around time. They had it ready before the suggested time. Totally satisfied and I'm sure I will be returning! read more

Took my sons PS5 here because the hdmi port needed to be fixed. I called around a few places to get quotes and this place quoted me the lowest price. Josh was super friendly and fixed it within 24 hours and charged me exactly what was quoted. I wouldn't hesitate to use him again if i ever need anything fixed. It's always nice to feel like you aren't getting ripped off from a repair place. Thanks Josh! read more

Fast fix and great price for a cracked iPad screen. Josh was very responsive to my questions. The turn around time was 24 hour.

Josh & Paul are the best at what they do ! Replaced my iPhone screen and battery fast at amazing price. Professional and knowledgeable - 10/10 read more

What'd You Break? - Front Desk - Mobile Phone Repair Near Me - Marina, California

Josh came through for me again. My ultra-reliable 2012 HP Laptop's hard drive finally gave out. Josh replaced it and got it up and running within three days for a very fair price (especially when I expected to have to buy a new laptop). Retrieved a Norton Backup from one week prior and I'm good to go. Last time he fixed my Seagate portable hard drive. I will definitely continue to call Josh instead of a retail store for all my electronics repairs. read more

Josh fixed my fob but a mishap in closing it, detached another part needing to fix it. He was quite busy but he managed to fix my fob and didn't charge me. I'm impressed by his responsibility in his work. Only makes me trust coming back for any other future jobs I might need. read more

Fast and efficient. Great customer service also. Too bad they're not closer to where we actually live.

Charging port broke at a critical time in the semester. Took my computer in, had it back within the hour, and I paid less than I was quoted. Just excellent service all the way around! read more

Josh and his team are very professional, knowledgeable and caring about their customers. He fixed my water damaged MacBook and brought it back from the dead! read more

Replaced my battery on iPhoneX within the hour. The screen cracked while opening the phone and the owner happily replaced it without any questions. Incredible customer service. I will be back and will recommend to others, too! Thank you! read more

My Xbox One X stopped working on Christmas Day. Happy holidays indeed.. My brother in law referred me to Josh and What'd You Break. Glad I listened. Josh fixed my Xbox right up, the culprit was a very very tiny IC chip on the motherboard. I was ready to shell out $300+ for a new one. Josh is such a cool guy and super friendly and knowledgeable. He runs a great business and prices are super affordable. If he can't fix it, it's no charge. That's a fantastic bonus. I know where I'm going anytime something breaks. Highly recommended to all!!! read more

This shop is absolutely spot-on when repairing any Apple product. Honest, professional and fast at a fraction of the cost of the Genius Bar. They've fixed my iPhone 6S and 6S+ and MacBook Air from water damage and a defective volume button/speaker. From my experience, Genius Bar is often about telling you that your product is simply beyond repair in order to up-sell, while these folks understand that maybe you respect the environment and don't necessarily need a brand-new phone every 12 months. Try this shop first, it's definitely worth the short drive just off HWY 1. You'll be happy that you did. read more

See all

I called with an iPad problem. It was an Apple issue that no one but Apple could fix. Still he was extremely helpful and followed up with text messages. I will call him again for any computer issues that I have because I know he will fix it or refer to a place that can. read more

Reasonable pricing, quick turn around service and very knowledgeable. Josh even came back after closing just so I could pick my phone.

Cracked my iPhone screen and Josh came to the rescue. In less than an hour, my phone was new. He guarantees his work and even fixed a small issue in minutes after I discovered it. The repair, new tempered glass screen protector and even a gaiter all for less than $100. You can't get that anywhere. Highly recommend Josh for any electronics repair. read more

Josh was very efficient, accurate, responsive, and thoughtful. The pricing and quality of the work was impeccable. Finally got my screen repaired after 2 years; I'm glad I waited for the right person for the job. Good and honest people doing great work. Thank you so much. read more

Fast friendly service at a reasonable rate. Entirely satisfied with the repair to my computer. Would definitely use again and recommend. Mark C. read more

Fast, excellent quality work and service! Hope I won't have to come back here but will definitely do if the need arises. Highly recommended!! read more

My Samsung phone died while on a trip to France. I thought that I fried the battery. Josh helped me and replaced the battery, and within one hour it's better than before because the new Samsung battery is so much stronger--the phone responds better/faster and brighter. The cost for the battery and labor to repair was VERY reasonable. I'm so happy! I strongly recommend this business to anyone. read more

my Iphone xs got some moisture in a sensor giving it the apple boot loop. Josh was able to bring it back! My 3rd visit and always the best.

They are trustworthy and helpful! I would go back. Josh is amazing. He is the owner I believe.

The Best! You want something fixed? GO HERE. Paul is determined to work miracles. My cell is like new! Relieved and grateful.

They responded quickly to my message and did a great job in repairing my iPad . Thanks !

It all started with a high velocity mouse kissing my laptop screen. Yep, a short moment of uncontrolled rage had me calling Josh over here asking for help to restore this piece of technological necessity as well as some of my somewhat shattered ego. Big oops. That half second is now going to cost me. Josh was extremely helpful from the moment I got a hold of him via the Yelp messaging option. His response was quick and to the point, which is something I truly respect about a business involving fixing something we want fixed asap. Not to mention, someone who is honest enough to tell you whether it is worth doing. (First time I talked to Josh was two years ago when I cracked my phone screen. A few moments in, he told me it would be better to just buy an upgraded phone instead of wasting money fixing it.) That said, let's say I had to go back twice due to faulty parts from suppliers. Other places would have easily added a surcharge or made you further regret your stupid act BUT Josh didn't. Not only did he stay on top of it, he didn't charge more because one of his philosophies is to do things right for the customer. Definitely recommend Josh for your tech fixing needs! read more

SO THANKFUL and so happy. As a student, my laptop is my life. I spilled on my MacBook Pro and the screen stopped working. I tried all the YouTube how-to fix it yourself videos but nothing worked. I messaged several repair shops and THIS SHOP responded so quickly, kept me updated throughout the process, and was able to fix my problem within a few hours! This is also by far the most fair price I was quoted and charged. I'll refer my friends here. So happy with the service and awesome prices. Thank you guys so much!!! read more
