Great experience! When my wifes Galaxy S9 got smashed, every other phone repair ship told me that without a functioning screen, there was no way to salvage the gigabytes of data from it. I was panicking. But when I called Cellular Sales Smartphone Repair, they instantly set my mind at ease. They salvaged everything we needed, and were helpful and professional at every turn.

I took my Samsung Note 10+ in for repair. I am satisfied with the service and repair. Adrian was very helpful and explained everything that would be involved with the repair. Made sure my phone had been backed up. Explained warranty and answered my questions. Excellent Customer Service! There is a cost, but I like my phone and didnt want to have to buy a new one.

My phone was going through so many issues and Adrian really took care of me. The process took a few days but he was very responsive, helpful, professional and extremely nice! He made the experience so pleasant and you can tell he really loves what he does. He made sure that everything was right for me from beginning to the end! I highly recommend this place and Adrian!

I dropped my phone and broke the glass. I first took it to the Verizon down the street and they recommended the store at Culver and University. I thought about maybe upgrading to the iPhone 12 but decided to get the screen fixed. Grant was so helpful and friendly and told me the cost and to come back in an hour and it would be fixed. I did and there it was. He also helped pick out a new case and recommended a Gorilla Glass that i could get on Amazon since they were all out. He also told me he’d put the Gorilla glass on free if i had trouble. Thanks Grant for excellent customer service!

I had the battery for my iPhone SE replaced here. I was reluctant at first. Service was scheduled and performed on the same day, while I waited. Flawless, and good as new now. Very friendly and confident staff. You may have to wait, but not for long. This place is busy for good reason. Thank You!

This repair service was fast, professional and fairly priced. The location couldnt be more convenient, next to the Verizon store. I have recommended this business to several other people, and will use it again.

Absolutely great experience in every way. My iPhone needed a new battery (no big deal, true, but...) - rather than having to drive to heck and gone out to Eastview Mall to go to the Apple Store (and get charged ye-gods-knows-what...), I could walk over to Cellular Sales, drop off my phone, go to the gym, and return to have it waiting for me, good (maybe better!) than new. :) The people who work there are friendly, personable, know their stuff. They’re efficient but not rush-y, and they don’t talk down to you (even if you’re a kooky old woman). And not just me; I witnessed the way they interacted with a few other folks, and really liked what I saw/heard. I just wish they did laptops too! LOLSeriously, this place is great. Your phone needs something, go there.

I had an issue where the bottom half of my iPhone 7 Plus screen stopped working. I took it in and they had my phone back up and running as good as new the next morning. The staff is knowledgable, extremely polite and very forthcoming about potential problems and costs associated with your repair. Their estimates and repairs have been spot on each time. I have dealt with Grant in my two visits (a shattered screen last summer) and he has been really great to work with. At the current rising costs of new phones, a great phone repair spot in a rare and invaluable resource to have, and this is the one place that I trust for honest, reliable work, and a great experience. Theyre on par with finding a great mechanic these days.You have to walk through a Verizon store full of suits to get to it, but its well worth that gauntlet.

Review №12

I experienced courteous and prompt service. There was an appointment available the same day, and the service took a couple hours at most. I had my phone battery replaced, and I am pleased with the improvement in battery life. The customer service deserves 5 stars. Removing the screen and reinstalling resulted in some minor cosmetic damage to the chassis, as well as a small bit of visible adhesive residue. However, I will take that as a trade off for being able to get more mileage out of my 4 year old phone. The price was fair. Overall, 4.5 stars, so I rounded up.

Had an excellent experience with this repair center. Their pricing is very fair, and everyone I interacted with was polite. They clearly worked hard to get my device fixed and back in my hands in as fast and straight-forward a way as possible. While I dont really want to break my phone again, Id trust them to repair it again in a heartbeat.

The team at this Repair Center provided me exceptional customer service. It was professional, efficient and timely. They advised me of my options with associated costs, so that I could make the best decision. The cell phone has been operating great . Well done on their part and I highly recommend them.

I was happy until yesterday. I had an iPhone screen replaced in August. Service quick and friendly. I dropped my phone yesterday-it had otter box case. Picked it up, dead. Went to another place in Henrietta as close by. The serviceman opened phone, it was NOT properly put back together or sealed. He quickly repaired. NO charge. Never again.

I am very happy with your service. The phone works perfectly and is essentially in brand-new condition again. I have been telling everyone about how happy I am to have gotten my phone repaired instead of buying a new one. I would recommend you to anyone.

Grant G. was great to work with from start to finish! Needed a new LCD assembly -- quickly -- was without my phone, Grant accommodated. Great to be able to set up an appointment. Timeframe to repair and cost quoted were spot on. I did call around and could have possibly gotten the repair done less expensively, but it would have been days to complete! Well worth the visit and top notch service. Thanks.

My girlfriends Samsung Galaxy S10e stopped working after it ran out of battery. When I called Cellular, they ran me through what it might cost, how theyd fix it, and how long it might take. CJ Thomas was my representative, and he took care of my girlfriends phone on the spot, took him about 15 minutes. Very impressed. Will come here again for any phone repairs

Superb service here. Grant was great and everyone on staff was both courteous and professional.They had my badly damaged phone fixed in roughly an hour. They followed up too, making sure there were no glitches. I’m really happy with the work they did and would go here first if I needed any other repairs in the future. Very pleased.

Great repair techs. Thought the issue my phone had was a lot worse than it was. They diagnosed it and were able to fix it really quick. I was thinking it was going to be a more costly repair but they were straight up and honest about the issue.

Review №33

My Iphone 8+ was working sub-par, the battery needed to be charged 2x day and the lighting connector was not responding, I was unable to use Apple Car Play in my Honda. I called in the shop last Thursday inquiring about their services, I the vibe was friendly, welcoming and competent.Last Saturday, I finally got around to bringing in my phone. I met with Grant, friendly and ready to fix my phone. Told him about the two issues, then takes his tweezers, goes into the lighting connector and pulls out two 1cm lint buggers (sorry best word i could find), tests the phone and states all is well.He then assessed the battery and determined it was close for a replacement. The battery was at 83% and he said they normally change the battery when its at 80%, I was ready for a new battery and told him to replace it.Grant had the whole thing done in about 2 hours, he exceeded my expectations since he was alone and 3 other jobs were before mine. All went well and my phone is working like new, feels great to use Apple Car Play again.Last but not least, in this world of COVID-19, Grant and the other people in the store wore masks, and used social distancing. Only one customer at a time was allowed into the service center.

If you need repair/service for your smartphone, this is the place to go!! Great, friendly, courteous service from a nice (mask wearing) technician named Grant Gifford.. Fair pricing and timely service - Id go back again in a heartbeat! He solved my problem and gave me a couple of tips besides!

Review №35

Grant put safety first, using all the protocols for the time of virus. He went above and beyond the call of duty to recommend a less intrusive path for cell phone healing. In the end, and although I chose the road more traveled, he was correct. I give him a five star rating and the company gets a good mark for having him as a technician.

Review №38

After spending so much time thinking to find a replacement battery of the right time for my phone and to receive it soon and hope our was good quality, Iv searched again for local places. None of the others could help me. I found this business and he was kind enough to take time to make sure they could get the right battery for me and even though it is the holidays will try and get it for me by next mon. And for the cost of the battery. And because I am working through a business that had a good reputation I can be assured it will be good quality rather than gambling in a cheap internet sale that might not work wellIm very grateful to hopefully soon have everything working better soon. Right now I have my phone hooked up to a portable battery Im carrying around.

My IPhone 7 battery was running at 67% and was so slow I brought it here to have a new battery installed & I’m so glad I did. They were polite, accommodating, professional & quick! I came back in a half hour figuring I’d still have to wait but was pleasantly surprised when it was done & ready for pickup! This was all done at a very reasonable & affordable price!

Had a cracked screen. Gave me two options and pricing. Completed the job within 45 minutes as stated. Friendly knowledgeable. I even saw another guy who came in and he had stuff in his charging slot. Verizon told him to buy a new phone. I watch the tech pull the stuff out of it and charge the phone for him at no cost. How can you beat that?

I was able to make an appointment online via their website-- I showed up, and they were able to replace my iPhone battery in about 20 minutes. The replacement battery works well, and breathed some new life into the device. Nothing but positive actions, so they get 5 stars from me. Thanks!

I finally found a local company that can fix phones. The techs are very knowledgeable and seem to be well skilled. I took 2 iPhones to get repaired. The first they took care of but couldnt fix the second. They tried a few things that didnt fix it but it pointed to an internal board issue. They pointed me to a final option for repair but I choose to just let it go. They didnt charge me for the attempted work on the second phone even though they did quite a bit off testing. I am very pleased with the work they did and would highly recommend them to anyone.

I was stressed out about my Galaxy glitching out and dying on me, so I stopped in and in a matter of just a couple minutes they diagnosed it as a fried battery. In under an hour they replaced the battery and re-sealed the phone. What a relief! Great job, reasonable timeframe, and reasonable cost.

I’ve gone here twice to have iPhone issues fixed. First time with my camera lens cracked and other time with a bad lightning port. Both times service has been fast and efficient.

The LCD broke on our iP7, and for a while I entertained completing the repairs myself. After a little Googling and finding the store, I was able to make an appointment through their website and have the repairs completed the same day. Parts were in stock, and the repair took less than an hour. This was much less frustrating than attempting it myself. Any possible issues were explained before work started (the phone was bent a bit, too).Would go back again for any phone repair issues.

Fixed my phone. But honestly, it had many more problems after they fixed it. It was obvious they were issues from the phone being opened but not reassembled properly. To be fair, the offered to fix it, but I dont live anywhere near there and I would have had to mail them my phone for a week. I just couldnt do that.

Review №86

Very trustworthy. When my Google pixels chargeport and loud speaker stopped working, he said that he would see what repairs needed to be done and if he needed to replace the parts, which would be $150 total. When i called two hours later he said that some sort of wire and just come unglued, and all he had done was replace that wire and reglued it. Charged me $50 for the part and service, but he could have told me he had replaced the chargeport and speaker and charged me the 150 and i would have never known.
