Elbert is the best there is in the San Francisco area, hands down. I had a flight at 9am last week and broke my phone the day before my flight. My phone basically had no touch sensitivity which made me anxious because all my information and trip info was stored in the phone and I had no access. I called Elbert all desperate hoping he would fix my phone the next day before my trip. Sure enough he got back to me and agreed to meet before my flight at 7am (outside his operating hours.) Within 15 minutes he was able and to get it fixed. I made my flight and was able to use my phone. The screen is top quality and I will continue going back with Elbert! You also can’t beat the prices!

Elbert is the only person you should use to fix your phone in SF. Ive used him 3 times now for various smashed screens, charger issues etc. and every time I am so impressed. Late last night I got back to SF from a biz trip, and have to fly out again tomorrow, so I was stressed out as my phone wouldnt charge and just before I lost battery at 630am I requested an appointment online, and within minutes, so early am, he texted back and was here a few hours later at my door ! Amazing service with a smile, honest and so reasonable priced. I travel for business a lot, meet a lot of corporate folks and I gotta say, this guy would teach a lot of people how to run a successful business and make customers happy .. so impressive to see a young dude, professional, responsive and at top of his game. Wish him all the success and I would 100% recommend to anyone.

Elbert is the best! Really efficient and professional service. Had my phone fixed twice by him. He comes to your residence, gives transparent and affordable quotes to authorize the fix, and finishes the job in a matter of hours - delivered straight back to your house. Couldnt expect more!

I have had pretty much every iPhone since day one and because of my profession I go through them like most people go through water. That being said I have done business with a lot of different phone repair services. I will say Elbert’s company is top notch and as good as it gets. He is super knowledgeable, extremely skilled, and knows more about these phones then anyone else I have run into. He fixed several iPhones for me that others did not know how to fix. Not only that he knew right away how to fix them when others had know idea. He was super fast and came out to my house and did the work right away. So he is offering a really efficient quality mobile service! All at a competitive price! Wow, and just a really intelligent, nice guy as well! I can’t say enough good stuff about this company. It’s rare to find businesses like this. I am super impressed!

I remember when I would always buy a New phone when I cracked my screen badly I wouldn’t even get the screen fixed, but this is when I had an android..when I bought my first iPhone a year and a half ago I cracked my screen badly but decided to keep it because it was so expensive..I finally decided to get my screen fixed and found Gelatotech, which was very close to my home and decided to try them. Elbert was so professional and fixed my screen in 10 minutes I was so pleased with his service that he has now fixed my iPhone screen 9 times..always on time, getting the job done fast he has definitely kept me calling on him every time. Thanks so much elbert for your wonderful service!

WOW! After being quoted thousands of dollars/months of repair time at other phone repair companies I had lost hope of fixing my water damaged phone, but Gelatotech went above and beyond to save the day! Extremely seamless pickup and delivery in the SF area and they managed to completely fix my device within one day for a fraction of the cost. Would recommend Elbert to anyone looking for quality service!

Elbert did a fabulous job fixing my cracked iPhone8 glass! He is very responsive via text and provides mobile service so all I had to do was meet him in front of my house. He text me about 20 mins later and was finished! Highly recommend Elbert! Professional, Fast and Cost efficient!!

I went to the Apple store in Union Sq because I jumped into a hot tub with my phone and accidentally plugged in the charger without letting it fully dry. Thought Apple could easily fix the issue (the screen went crazy and then blacked out, but I was pretty sure it was still working - would vibrate when plugged in, toggling the silent switch would also vibrate it).Apple refused to fix it because of warranty issues or some other invalid reasons, and just wanted me to buy a new phone. Heck no! I refused and was super worried because I also havent backed up my phone in a while either.I found Gelatotech and Elbert, and he was at my place within 30 minutes. Fixed my phone and screen IN HIS CAR in 20 minutes! Super fast, super convenient, HIGHLY recommend.Thank you Elbert!! You really saved me a big headache.

Elbert is very efficient, gets the job done quick. He fixed both, the back and the front of my iPhone XSMAX. The back took him a few hours because he needed to remove the glass but finished it within a couple of hours. The front on another hand WOW it was so fast, he came to my job got the phone and finished fixing it within 10mins. His amazing at what he does, I 1000% recommend anyone to get your iPhone repaired with him. His smart as well so I guarantee you, your going to learn something from this man.

Wow. I dont typically write reviews but I was totally amazed at Elberts response time. Im not trying to build unrealistic expectations but he was here in 10mins and fixed my phone very quickly. From the first phone call to me having my beautiful new screen on my phone - it was all under an hour. I highly recommend Elberts services.

From appointment setup to completion, Elbert was helpful with information and quick to respond to questions via text. In person he’s pleasant and easy to talk to. My screen repair was conveniently taken care of at my place in less than an hour. I would absolutely recommend using Gelatotech!

One of the best experiences Ive had with any vendor. Super responsive from first contact, booked quickly, came to me, did the work almost instantly, everything worked perfectly, all at a fair price. Replaced both battery and charge port in maybe 10min tops. And Elbert is one of those people you just feel the decency of immediately. Its almost like I want to go break my phone just to give him more business.

Review №18

My family had two iPhone screens cracked. I saw on Nextdoor somebody mentioned to somebody else about this company that comes to your door and fixes it in their car! Because I am now working from home and doing distance-learning with my kids I have very little time, so this sounded amazing. I called him, the price was good, he came out and fixed him in about 20 minutes in his car.Very easy process!

Review №19

What can I say Elbert’s service was amazing better than any other phone repair company I have went to. To start off he was really fast in responding back to me to request a screen repair so that’s a plus. He was very professional, quick and efficient when fixing my phone it literally took him less then 15 minutes to repair. Since getting my phone fixed I haven’t had any problems so am happy about that. Also keep in mind Elbert is mobile so he can drive to you like how great that sounds. Therefore if you ever need your phone fixed no matter what’s the problem hit up Elbert you wont regret it. Great service and I will definitely come back.

My iPhone 8 had not powered on because of a hard hit on the wall. He soon found the logic board was broken and the repair was supposed to take like 4 days. I didn’t have time because I had to move in 2 days, but he fixed it perfectly and got back next day.I really appreciate him and his work.Quick and great service,,amazing repair shop!

Review №21

I contacted the company on Memorial Day because it had the highest reviews and they happened to be open. They are fully mobile and really do come to you! I am glad I didnt wait to do my phone repair because Elbert mentioned that since my phone was overheating, it would have damaged internal parts if I hadnt done it quickly.From the first phone call, Elbert was extremely responsive, professional and knowledgable. I wasnt sure what to expect but he was super fast, and so far my phone is fully functioning after we decided that the best route would be to have him replace the display with an original part.I highly recommend Gelatotech and if I ever need repair services, they will be the first ones I call!

I hardly ever leave reviews, but I had such a great experience, I felt obligated to! Elbert fixed my phone the same day for no extra charge. He came to my house, fixed my phone screen (shattered and would not turn on) in less than 15 minutes, and all for a super reasonable price. Very professional service that I’ll be recommending to friends in the area.

I was looking for an iPhone repair shop when I came across Gelatotech. I read a bunch of great reviews and decided to give them a call. Not only did Elbert fix my phone the same day, he also drove to my work to fix it! Elbert said he could meet me at 12:30pm and showed up at 11:45am.I highly recommend supporting Elbert as he was very quick with my repair and was very professional.

Phone looks great. They came to my home and repaired a cracked screen in less than 15 minutes. Elbert used an original part/screen rather than an after market part/screen, which was very nice.

Review №27

Ima just start by saying the one star is for the guy being friendly and that they come to you to fix your phone. I cracked my iPhone screen but everything worked perfectly, the screen was just broken. I call these guys up and they came to fix my screen and they did, my phone looks good after they change the screen but he did some thing to the camera for my Face ID wouldn’t work anymore. He tried to fix three times but the Face ID didn’t work. He ended up just saying to take it to apple and that they’ll fix. Like he didn’t even offer to lower the price knowing that he did something to my iPhone that wasn’t right. I’ve fixed my other phones at other places and this never happened, so I won’t recommend this place to anyone, look for better service else where.

This is the best cell phone repair company on the market. Elbert is a young entrepreneur who understands the importance of customer service and quick repairs.He fixes i-phones and androids and is prompt to reply as well as fix the problem.Elbert has repaired the front and back of my iphone XS max, twice. The second time when I got my phone back from him, something was not right (phone kept turning off and on). I was worried because I use my phone for work.I txted Elbert at 8pm asking if he could fix it tomorrow. He showed up at my doorstep at 10am the next day and fixed it on the spot in less than 30 min, no extra charge and was happy to help in any way needed.I HIGHLY recommend Elbert & Gelatotech for any screen/back glass repairs.

Highly recommended service. Everything from booking time up to payment us so easy.I had to replace the whole back panel and Elbert luckily had the (genuine) part when he came to my place, so the repair was done onsite and it was faster than expected.Phone works beautifully like new. Also came with 90 days warranty.Thank you Elbert!

My old Iphone 6S was not holding a charge, but the phone works fine, so I needed a battery change. I work in the Fillmore, and no one close that I can conveniently go to.I found Gelatotech online and found they had a menu of services performed at my location and to fit my schedule. I scheduled for the same day, just 2 hours ahead, and Elbert, the technician calls me in about 10 minutes. We decide that he can come sooner. Hes super nice, and changed the battery in 10 minutes, then tested the phone performance. He also advised me on how to make my phone perform better and where to find the apps that are using up the most storage.Five stars!

THIS PLACE WAS AMAZING. The owner was kind, so professional, technology savvy, and gave me insight into all of my options. I ended up going with Apple OEM screen and my phone has never been nicer to use. Plus, you cant beat the great price. I knew I was in a good shop when I walked in and the women in front of me said, I dont know what you need today, but you found the best place.

I spoke with a Gentleman /Techincian by the name of Albert who helped a great deal with my BlackBerry Key2 Limited Edition Cell Phone. Albert gave me a quote 60.00 cheaper than everyone else I called for a quote. Albert fixed my phone at my job in 20min flat! And he was on time!!! I would use and recommend this series to all of my friends. Thanks GELATOTECH!!!

Loved the fact that they come to your house to fix the devices. The quality of the product no so much. Fixed two phone screens and two ipad screens.- First Phone: After the fix, the phone started shutting off randomly, gave it back and it turns out that they damaged the charging port while replacing the back screen. They fixed that for free. a couple of days later the screen gave me a long white screen and then went dead- Second Phone: yesterday, about 2 weeks after the fix. Same exact things as the first phone, screen defective. On this one the screen wont work- first ipad, second day the touch screen died.Talked to the owner and he said that the product he offers has no warranty. Offered to replace the ipad screen and asked me to pay for the phone screen.Bottom line, stick to apple for your service.

My second time visiting Gelatotech On-Call iPhone Repair, this time I came to fix my iPhone 7 Plus screen. I decided to go with the aftermarket screen replacement. My total came up to $102. Price is not bad, going elsewhere would have been a lot more. They told me to pick the phone back up in 45 minutes. I came back almost 2 hours later, and he said it was not done yet. I left and sat in my car (luckily we found a parking spot) for another 30 minutes before picking my phone back up. Regardless, the service done was top-notch and well worth $100.

Review №66

He only has aftermarket home buttons. It wasn’tnot told to me until the second time he had repair it. He told me the motherboard in the inside and the screen would need to be fixed. He gave back my Phone UNFIXED. The Apple sign was stuck and he left it up to me to fix it by telling me to attach it to my computer or go to Apple. None of these options were available to me so I came back to him like he suggested. After fixing the problem we scheduled for 3:30 to drop it off. I asked him if I could get a $20 discount because I was short for my asthma pump. He remained unresponsive and so I told him that I could possibly get then money, then responded immediately. It took longer than expected so he rescheduled to drop my phone off at 7:30. I had to catch a flight soon so he accommodated and brought it earlier. I ended up having an asthma attack because I decided to pay for my phone instead of my asthma pump. That’s when he told me that my button was not completely fixed and that I couldn’t use it anymore. After a few hours, he started an outside conversation with me asking me if I made it to my flight, what was I going for, what was my race, possibly trying to get to know me or something… three weeks later after I came back from my flight I told him that I was very unhappy because I did not approve for the aftermarket pieces as well as it still being dysfunctional. He simply just told me that he told me so. I decided to just rule it out as a misunderstanding. I had inquiries about the inside and the outside the phone, he left my questions half answered and I had to keep asking him. He eventually tried to call me to tell me what work was done on the phone. I was not available so once I seen the message I asked him if he could tell me via email. He has been unresponsive ever since. My home button presses at random times and I have to go to somebody else to fix it now. In addition to everything he delivered he really kept miss-spelling my name during the conversation, which I find disrespectful

I just love the service. They repaired my MacBook Pro in 1/3rd of amount what Apple was asking for. The service was very quick and on time. I didn’t have to go anywhere, he came on his own and picked up my laptop and dropped it off too. He also gave me precautions to keep to avoid any damage in future. Overall - good interaction, awesome service and quick response.I would recommend this company to any person who has issues in his electronics.
