I went into the store hopeless with Apple never being able to help and my phone company being clueless. They started by educating me on what they thought the problem could be and I said whatever you can do, it’ll be better than where we are right now. Ended up just needing the charging port on my phone cleaned sounds silly but I am not an IT guy by any means and going to multiple other stores that are supposed to be reputable companies and not getting anything in return but A wait time. I was in and out in less than 10 minutes I highly recommend anyone for any of their phone needs to give them a chance they are knowledgeable at what they do and very honest about what they do.
My phone stopped working and wouldn’t turn on despite attempting to charge it all day. Brought my phone in for diagnostic. The staff was very friendly, professional and helpful. They fixed my phone for an extremely reasonable price within 90 min and saved me the cost of buying a new phone. They even replaced my screen protector, which was unexpected and a nice touch! Very happy with my service. I would definitely use them in the future and recommend them to my friends/family members.
Just had my S10 go through literal surgery and it looks flawless, thanks Gem City Digital. Service is top notch and the facility is really cool inside, theres a bunch old school arcades and pinball machines inside everyone should check this place out, I wouldnt go anywhere else for my repairs. highly recommended.
Kind, professional and quick. Great staff and would trust them with future fixes. Brought in a 2011 MacBook pro for then to work on and their pricing was much better than apple or other services such as ubreakifix. Plus they have pinball you can play while you wait!
Professional, nice and offer great services. I recommend for anything to do with electronics - buying or selling.
I have NO idea how Gem City Digital is so highly rated (which was the reason why we tried them).1. They almost never answer the phone and their voicemail is full and I’m disabled so I can’t just pop in every time I want to talk.2. I dropped off my laptop for a battery replacement and they had to order it (which is weird cause it’s a super common battery), they said 3-5 business days.3. I called three AND five days later, during hours, and they refused to pick up the phone.4. SIX business days later and I call back asking what the hell… turns out they CANCELLED the battery order, DIDN’T tell us, and weren’t ever GOING to.5. They said they’d order it again and have it done next day, and because of the delay my fiancé missed an INCREDIBLY important exam for school because he needed a laptop with a webcam (the school doesn’t provide them right now with COVID and libraries don’t have the camera).6. They tell us the battery is in stock now and to drop off the laptop, BUT IT WAS ALREADY THERE WITH THEM! WE HAD DROPPED IT OFF A WEEK AGO!7. We finally pick it up and upon two seconds of inspection only TWO SCREWS were put back in.8. We bring it home and guess what, the laptop battery is already having (different) issues!Literally the worst and least professional place out there.
They were very quick and helpful with reasonable prices! I would recommend Gem City for all of your cell phone repairs! Thanks so much.. you guys made my day ❤
Very fast and affordable. They fixed the overheating on my ps4. unfortunately when I picked it back up they had forgotten to to plug in the Bluetooth antenna back in kind of a bummer but it happens but what matters to me is they promptly fixed the issue quickly and no questions asked. Very pleased would use them again.
Great place to come for all your electronic needs! I went in to get a new screen protector and was out in a couple of minutes. They know what they are doing and I will be sure to come back if I need anything else.
Quick service knew how to fix my phone within seconds. Very courteous.
MORE than happy with service and prices! I was referred by the Apple store because they said my phone needed replaced. I explained this to the gentleman (sorry I didnt get his name) at Gem City and he asked if he could do a quick check on my phone. Lo and behold, I wound up only needing a battery replacement - and this was after both BatteriesPlus and the Apple Store told me my phone was defunct.I applaud this mans honesty and integrity - he could have easily sold me a phone I didnt really need, and I would have been none the wiser.Gem City Digital will absolutely be my first visit when I need any service in the future! Kudos to you guys there.Charles (Dan) BlevinsEdit to add: Exemplary service again, bought a used iphone SE at a great price and received a very fair trade-in price on my old phone.The exemplary service came into play when Paul helped me reset my long-forgotten email password and Apple ID and walked me through the use of new phone (what can I say, Im an old person and technologically challenged) A pleasure to do business with.I HIGHLY recommend these folks - and I dont do that lightly.
Anytime we break a phone or computer, we take it here. Most recently, I dropped my laptop in the driveway, and I smashed the corner of the screen and part of the base. The screen was half detached from the computer. I thought I would need a new laptop, but they fixed it for just over $100. They truly are amazing! ❤️❤️❤️
Stopped by to recycle some electronics. Friendly, courteous, helpful. Will definitely return when I need a repair.
Very nice guys, above and beyond for a fair price. You guys need to have point of sale accessories so we can shop while waiting.🤑 ⚓🏴☠️♀️
Good work done quickly at a fair price. Friendly and knowledgeable staff. Highly recommend.
They have definitely earned my trust. I will only go to them now for repairs on my devices. Some other guys will leave you wondering when your item will be repaired, but these people will text you and call you regularly with updates. I have such a wonderful peace of mind here than other places.
It was busy when I got there so there was a line and things were a bit hectic but overall, great service and communication. Unfortunately, my phone was not able to be fixed but it was not due to a lack of trying. They attempted to replace the screen several times and even took the time to have another technician look at it the next day to make sure. I expected to be charged for labor since they had taken time to evaluate the phone and attempted reairs, but it was completely free. They also did an excellent job communicating over email since I had no phone available. As a fringe benefit, I was able to get a cheap ($5) replacenent cord for my iPad and it works beautifully. Overall, I highly reommend Gem City Digital. I hope to never need their services again, but if I do, I will definitely go back.
Knowledgeable, helpful, and conveniently located.I only needed a minor task handled today, but while I waited in the comfortable lobby I observed several employees being friendly and efficient.If you go there, dont forget to bring your patience and understanding. These guys didnt break your stuff, and the manufacturers seem to be trying to make it hard fo them to fix it. Give them time to work. Its probably better than buying a new whatever it is.Also, there are fewer and fewer of these kinds of places out there, so dont be surprised if they look busy.
This place came recommended by two separate people so I checked it out.I had a couple of needs. I was looking for a used laptop with an idea of what I wanted. And the borrowed laptop Id been using developed an issue and I needed some advice.I was working with John and he was very willing to provide the information that served me. It wasnt about just making a sale.I was considering a laptop that was really over my price range but the only thing they had. Another employee told me it was a great computer. John let me know that it was Overkill if I wasnt going to be doing extensive design work period which Im not.Then he took time with me to go over different computers online to see which would best fill my needs.And on top of that he diagnosed and quickly fixed the issue my borrowed laptop was having.I left extremely happy and will definitely return to this business if I ever need a repair. Im buying a laptop elsewhere because they didnt have what I needed.
We generally use Apple products and have been to Gem City Digital to get help several times. Paul the owner and staff are caring and knowledgeable. I was waiting for my computer to be ready the last time I was there and I overheard one of the techs telling another customer that after checking their iPhone he had realized that they still have AppleCare and could have the repairs done at Apple for free. This is the old fashioned business motto that is not found as much as we like, and I commend them for it. I give them and A+ for customer service and their knowledge to computers, and highly recommend them.
Definitely not satisfied with their customer service. they will offer you half price for factory sealed Apple products and sell them at full price! ripoff!
Paul is the best, he is honest, I never had a problem with any service he provides
The place was clean and I was waited on right away. But the cost to fix my cracked screen on Samsung Galaxy 8 was easy too high in my opinion.
Gem City is a true gem! Absolutely love their customer service and responsiveness to repair issues. Highly, highly recommend them for your electronic sales and repair issues!
All of my experiences with Gem City Digital have been great. They saved my macbook for a great price!! All communication was fast and friendly as well as the service delivery. Thank you guys.
A very knowledgeable group to work with. For several years they have solved my phone and computer issues. I recommend them highly
Everyone I’ve dealt with has been professional, courteous, friendly, and most of all quick to resolve issues with iPhones and iPads. The prices are great and repair time is quick. I wont go anywhere else for phone, tablet, or PC needs. Go you won’t be disappointed.
These are some of the most helpful and friendly computer service providers in the Dayton, Ohio region! My computer system was brought to its knees by a conflict of interest between MacAfee Antivirus and Malwarebytes Antivirus, (And let me remind you that you do not have a choice of whether or not MacAfee is installed on a PC fresh out of the box, its a bundle with windows, which ought to be illegal...), and they were able to resurrect it from the brink of death in just three days! I am very happy with the way they handle my devices and those of my family and friends who Ive sent to see them; these guys are TOP-FLIGHT, and I wont work with anyone else.
Took my laptop in to get fixed. They did their best to correct another shops mess up. They did phenomenal. There was a very small issue beyond their control, but they still had my laptop in way better shape. Definitely recommend!!
Great atmosphere cool bowling indoor concert Hall plus outdoor it has it all I cant believe it.. in a restaurant with very good food I enjoyed the food very much..
Great repair job and prompt service. Went the extra mile to find needed parts.
I only wish I’d discovered this place earlier! My son cracked his iPhone screen and I unfortunately took it to a popular battery store for the repair. They required an appointment and, when I arrived, they didn’t have the screen in stock so it was a wasted trip. They had to order the screen and said it would take up to a week, but 2 weeks later they still didn’t have it – nor did any of their sister stores within a 100 mi radius! I finally looked up other options and discovered Gem City Digital. They quoted me nearly half the cost the battery store was going to charge, took the phone in as a walk-in, and gave me the option to choose a used screen in excellent condition for even lower cost. Despite being a busy Saturday, they were able to complete the repair in about 15 minutes while I waited. They also hooked my son up with a used Speck case to prevent future screen incidents, and they had some other accessories I needed at very reasonable prices. They definitely earned my repeat business and I highly recommend them for anyone in need of screen replacement.
Fast and reliable service from these guys. Affordable compared to other options in the area.
Always helpful. Usually a quick turn around.
Efficient, Friendly, Clean, Beautiful art work and very helpful!
Had my phone battery replaced screen replaced very good job done very competitive thank you for the work you did
Perfect place to have your electronics fixed or repaired
They were fast and to the point, they said it would cost 50 if they figure out whats wrong and 0 if they couldnt. They found out it was my cpu but didnt know why it died so they only charged 30, unlike most repair shops I dont feel like there trying to scam me for more and even over hearing what they said to other customers I could tell they take customer service seriously. Over all I highly recommend this place
Great customer service. I would highly recommend.
The glass cover of my Samsung phone camera shattered and after having trouble finding places that would deal with this specific issue, I landed with Gem City. They dont do appointments, just walkins, which was not an issue for me at all - but were able to tell me on the call after a brief discussion of my issue that they had the part in store.They are fast, professional, friendly, honest and very reasonable with prices. I walked in and my phone was fixed within 20 or so minutes. I will be going back for all my future tech issues! Highly impressed with the service here!
I brought my Samsung phone to GCD in hopes of getting the charging port fixed. They were recommended by 2 other cell phone repair shops that merely didnt have the soldering tool needed for the repair. I must add that my cell phone had no other issues other than the charging port being broken. GCD had my phone for an hour and charged me 91$. Immediately after getting my phone back from them I noticed a problem. None of my apps were working. I couldnt make phone calls and when I was able to make calls the other person would either not be able to hear me or the call would just drop. The very next day I had someone else look at it. He said that when GCD opened it to repair it they damaged a wire in it that supports communication. I went back to GCD and waited an hour just for them to present the phone to me as if it were fixed and it most definitely was NOT. Which I had to demonstrate to them. I waited another 45 minutes just for them to come and tell me it was just my cellphone carrier or maybe an app I had installed. So they were basically guessing. I stated that the phone worked fine before and I would like it fixed or be given a refund. I waited another 45 minutes just for them to merely say heres your phone. They not only clearly did not know what they were doing but they had no remorse for damaging my phone and making me wait close to 3 hours for subsequently nothing. Though I did receive a refund there was no apology, concern or ownership for their part in my cellphone damage. I essentially had to buy a new phone.
Gem City Digital was great! I spilled a glass of water on my laptop. They fixed it perfectly and in a timely manner. It was affordable too. Id definitely recommend!
The process of my data transfer was painless and the employees were very nice. I ended up trading my old phone for the price of the data transfer and I could not be happier. Great business keep it up guys!
Good customer service, good employees. Will settle for everything to get you what your needing. Products at low prices!
This place is nothing short of amazing. Super helpful, full of knowledge and very professional. I walked in and out in less than 10 minutes with he problem solved, free of cost. Good people.
Me and my family have been going to Gem City Digital for years for all of our phone needs and computer issues. Time and again they provide exceptional service, and terrific value. From rebuilding and upgrading our family laptop to replacing batteries and repairing phones, they’ve got it covered.
Great customer service and reasonable prices.
Sharp, reasonable rates, fun, and fast.The new location is more convenient than when they were in The Greene but unsafe for my pinball resistance plans...These guys are great! Multiple repairs for chromebooks cough*sevenyearold*cough and a broken smartphone screen.Unfortunately, will have to use again. But they take the sting out of the experience.
Awesome service, great prices!
Very honest and truly take care of you. They repaired my ipad at a reasonable price, when others said it wasn’t repairable . I’m forever thankful!
Love having a place like this close by! My phone’s battery significantly degraded after 3 years - I was in and out today with a new battery in 20 minutes. My son’s iPad wouldn’t charge about 6 months ago and they had it repaired and working perfectly in about 5 hours. Way cheaper than buying a replacement and cheaper than Apple Store - and locally owned, too!
Best place ever!
Recently had a problem with my laptop and its battery. Contacted Gem City Digital for a quote and the response was very quick. Brought my computer in store for diagnostic and repair, and picked it up a few hours later! :)Everyone was super professional and easy to communicate with. Bonus points for the store being at the Greene! :)Highly Recommend! :)
We were pleased with theit customer service. We received an affordable solution to our problem. Home grown business doing well. Congrats!
As usual, the guys at Gem City did a great job.
David was awesome! Will definitely return for any phone issues in the future.
Fast and polite service. Huge help, right in my backyard!
This place is literally the best! I came in with a broken screen and they fixed it in 20 minutes. They have reasonable prices and super friendly staff.
Best place in town for anything tech; affordable, knowledgeable and explain things in a way that non-techies can understand!
Took my surface pro 4 tablet here after reading the great reviews. They did not disappoint. My severely cracked screen went black 6 months ago and I didnt think it could be fixed. Well they fixed it and I am so thankful. I was prepared to buy a new laptop or tablet but glad that I dont have to. Thank you for fixing it and for your professionalism. I would refer others to your business.
Was me who said that just embarrassing when you asked me about it. For sure a little expensive I could go to someone who does it themselves and get it for about $40-$50 it’s just not very trustworthy because they aren’t an official business. Y’all have great service though very professional. It’s good to know for sure you will fix it without any problems and get it to me the next day. Also it’s great you pay when the repair is done.
They are always so welcoming and are so helpful with fixing anything you need with your electronics.
Great store to get your phone fixed
Gem City saves the day! I had gotten the runaround with my iPhone from the Apple store and then Verizon and then AT&T (dont ask). Finally someone said to try this place. Whatever sorcery they did to transfer all my data was a lifesaver. Plus, the price was very (I mean very) reasonable. Ill be taking any software, phone, computer problems to them in the future.
The owner Jon is so professional and down to earth. I met him at the gym and he told me he had a phone store and go figure my phone screen was cracked the while we had our first conversation (he actually said something about it first. Something like I see your phone is cracked. Then he said are you planning on fixing it anywhere? ...Well I had apple care in the past but now i never get apple car because I know theres owners and businesses like these local. No shade on apple i love iphones but just dont like using a life proof case all of time lol.Thank you Gem City Digital for taking care of all of my phone repairments and needs.
Service was fast, the staff are friendly and knowledgeable and were able to repair a broken laptop keyboard on the spot.
I just had an excellent experience with Gem City Digital. This is my 3rd time going there and each and every time Im very satisfied with their work. Not only do they fix electronic issues but theyve assisted me with application issues as well. Im glad theyre in business and theyre a great addition to the local area.
Very professional staff,and always can fix anything,and great prices
Knowledgeable, quick turn around, and excellent customer service!
Great place to get any electronics fixed, or at least diagnosed. They are honest and fair, and will let you know if they cant fix it. Fast service, too and they can fix devices while you wait. They can replace a screen in 20 minutes. Ive seen everything from iPhones to dual tape decks in their repair shop. Very nice staff.
I went to sell my iphone 6. They bought it for $20.... Okay fine, but the customer service was just not good the guy threw the $20 bill at me like he was upset that i didnt want to use iphone anymore. iphones are scams.I switched back to Android at MetroPcs and my life has been saved !! If any of you want great prices with good music and amazing customer service, head over to fix or cell now on Wayne Avenue in Dayton. Just because its in a area thats not like the Greene doesnt mean they are not good business. They are for the people with affordable prices 😊
Incredible service. The guys here are wizards at what they do, and have incredible customer service skills. Genuinely the best experience I have ever had at any electronics shop. Shoutout to Nate for helping fix my laptop.
I can’t say enough good things about this place. They always take care of us. They don’t try to sell you what you don’t need. They repair what you have at a very reasonable cost. Thanks Gem City!!!
I have lived in many states and overseas locations. This is by far the most honest, competent, and affordable firm that fixes any IT-related issues. Thank you very much, Paul and Gem City Team!
I brought my moms LG Android cell phone in with a broken charging port, they had it fixed within 5 business hours. I would use them again and recommend them highly.
Took in a home theater subwoofer on a chance they could repair it. Ill just say they did everything I hoped for. My old school velodyne sub is bumping again.
I have used Gem City before I moved and then needed a battery for my MacBook. I was in town and had it done in 20 minutes. Definitely beat the hours that I’ve spent at the apple store before.
I had some display issues on my MacBook Air that Apple wanted to charge me $800 for!! Gem city digital only charged me $200 and had it repaired in two days. Very pleased with my experience :)
Flawless repair for half of the price that the Apple Store quoted.
Fast friendly repairs on all types of electronic devices, nice friendly staff. They actually try to help you save money for you if they can.
I live over an hour away from Gem City, yet I am more than willing to make the drive. The service and prices here really cannot be beat. The people working are always fast and courteous. Over the past couple of years, Ive had my phone repaired twice and a laptop battery replaced. Everytime has been quick and easy. I usually just wait in the store or meander around the shops nearby. Theyre that fast. If youre looking for a trustworthy place to have your electronics repaired, this is it.
I took my desktop Im because it is freezing while running gaming applications. They had it for 3 days and said they couldnt find anything wrong. My computer is still freezing while running the applications, $30 wasted.
Picked up pretty quickly on the phone. Also the issue didnt require the replacement of any parts to fix, so we werent charged or billed anything.
I went there because I support small hometown businesses at any chance I can. It took less than a half hour and it was fixed. Very affordable, knowledgeable, friendly, and fast service. I have found my new go to for any kind of repairs.
Great Atmosphere. Unparalleled Service!
The absolute best.
Great place for phone repair. Very helpful. Definitely a gem.
They are awesome. Fast service. Repair was done well beyond my expectation
The crew really helped me out and was so super cool!
Took my daughters phone that had water damage to get fixed and they fixed it in a matter of hours. Workers were very friendly, professional, and helpful. Cheapest place around too, i highly recommend them!
This place is great! Austin took care of us and our tablet screen. He made sure everything we needed was taken care of. Awesome staff, awesome job, and done very quickly. We will be back for all of our needs involving phones or tablets! Thanks GCD!!
Had my hard drive die on my MacBook Pro and needed it ASAP for an upcoming event I was DJing. They were able to replace the battery and give me a great price on a hard drive upgrade as well.Will definitely be taking all my computer business to them.
The owners are involved, and when they are around everything is perfect. But the days when theyre not around are disastrous.Theres only one guy in front desk and the other workers are eating laughing inside and comes out only when theres a big customer but not for ordinary people lining up
Replaced IphoneX display in about 20 mins. Looks like factory and they include quality screen protector! 80 bucks cheaper than Apple Store and they have warranty - awesome
The staff are all wonderful. I walked in to have my screen repaired, and they were able to take care of it immediately. They also provide a 90 day warranty - my screen started acting up again and the guy was super nice and fixed it immediately again. He also extended my 90 day warranty and replaced my screen protector that I had broken free of charge! Amazing place.
Awesome service by caring employees.
These guys saved the day! After the runaround with AT&T, Apple, and two more AT&T stores, these guys were able to take care of all my iPhone problems within a half hour. Fast, professional, and at a great price.
