I recently replaced my mobile phone at the Verizon store on Houstons Katy Freeway. The folks at Verizon were very enthusiastic about selling me a new one, but wouldnt transfer information from my old phone, which I had also purchased there. So I took both phones to uBreakiFix. They transferred everything and got me going very quickly. They even explained a few things I needed to know about the new phone.Bottom line: uBreakiFix is my go to location for phone repair. They even fix laptops.

I had a great experience getting my iPad 6 screen replaced here. They honored the price match advertised on their website. Everyone I interacted with, either on the phone or in person, was very professional and able to assist me. I would definitely recommend coming here, especially because you get 90 days warranty on services!

How can I put how much I love this place into words? Well, this is my 2nd time visiting and I still have yet to have to pay them anything because both times the repair ended up being just cleaning off something internally, and they dont charge for that NOR the diagnostic test. I have been absolutely astounded both times, preparing to pay at least a hundred, but NOPE! They literally WONT take my money! Every single person I have interacted with at this store has been extremely kind, informative, and helpful. Thinking about naming my first born after them due to my undying love and devotion to this place. Dont ever change, UBreakiFix.

Fast and great service! We came in with a broken Nintendo switch. James was very helpful. we appreciated how he explained the issue to my son. My son felt empowered to discuss and understand the diagnostics and happy overall it was such a quick fix. We were in and out in 10 min!

Great service and very professional. I called in and James was quick to give me a run down on possible issues with my iPhone based on what I was describing. I came in and James himself was at the counter and had it fixed quickly, even taking the time to fix another issue with my phone we discussed at no additional charge.

I had to take my sons iPhone in for screen repair after a motorcycle accident. I take it in there he said it would take about an hour I got in the car and drove probably a mile down the road and I got a text from them that said your phone is ready. That was some Lightning Fast service and a much-needed service for the Emergency that we had going on. But thank you guys very much.

They obviously do not use OEM parts. I had my screen replaced after owning the phone for a year and a half and barely any scratch noticeable on the screen. In two and a half months my screen that they put on is scuffed and scratched and ridiculously not up to the standards of the original gorilla glass. They did do a good job of installing it though 🤷

I called one of their competitors asking about removing blockage in my charging port, and I was quoted $20 for a thirty second service. I then spoke to Mark from uBreakiFix, and he explained to me that uBreakiFix does not charge for miniscule services such as that. In a nice chnage from the norm they actually care about their neighbor here at uBreakiFix.Finally, although uBreakiFix services products from a modern setting, the customer care is nothing but a throwback to the past.

Took my daughter’s iPad in because she got sticky gunk in the charging port and speakers. I tried to clean it with alcohol, q-tip, and compressed air but couldn’t get all of it out. Carl throughly cleaned everything and it is charging now. Also did it free of charge and didn’t try to sell me a new screen protector or anything else. Very nice and professional experience.

Review №23

Took my laptop there to replace a loud fan and was told the part for my laptop with the specific revision number was not available and to not spend too much money on an older laptop. Too my surprise after picking it up there was minor cosmetic damage and my laptop only showed a white screen. Not sure what they did but now my laptop does not work and they are trying to fix it. I took it back and they disassemble it to do a thorough check and everything passed. Tech said something may have not been reconnected correctly. They admitted the error and my laptop is working ok but still unable to get a replacement for the noisy fan issue due to no compatible parts.

So I just have to share what will sound like a commercial bc Im so happy.I just got my phone screen replaced. I cracked it by dropping it at work in the parking lot the very last week I was there! Typical, right? But I brought it to UBreakIFix, and Im so glad I did because they let me know that I could use my insurance with AT&T to replace just the screen, whereas when I went to AT&T, the representative just told me to use the online portal. That didnt give me the option to replace only the screen; it would have cost me $200 to replace the phone, likely refurbished, and I would have to give up my phone to them. I was going to pay just under $300 instead to just have my screen repaired when UBreakIFix told me I could use my insurance to replace my screen, which would come with a new frame AND battery for $29! I feel like Ive just learned a trade secret, and I feel like I have a brand new phone.So ... Im really happy about not paying $300 and also keeping my phone!Thanks to Minh and James for taking care of me and giving me the info that saved me over $250!Sorry to make this sounds like a commercial! 😆

Friday, my Google Pixel 3 suddenly restarted itself and got stuck in an infinite reboot loop. Saturday, I took my phone to uBreakiFix Heights location for repair. I explain the issue to the person behind the counter (#1) and he says they need 1 to 3 days to diagnose the issue. I leave him my phone and give them my fathers number as the contact number. Monday, my dad gets the call and I speak to person behind the counter (#2) saying they are going to try replacing the battery, and I, again, explain to her the issue with the phone and that the battery is fine. She says they will continue to diagnose the issue and will e-mail me back when they figure it out. Tuesday, I dont receive an e-mail, so I call in and speak the person behind the counter (#3). He says, Oh yeah, weve been meaning to get in contact with you. After their diagnosis, they have determined theissue with the phone to be a faulty motherboard, which they dont replace, so, theres no fixing it. I must replace the entire phone with a new one. I go back to uBreakiFix Heights and person behind the counter (#4) returns my phone. At home, before shopping for a new phone, I decide to give it one last try. I spend 5 minutes googling the issue and learn about how to do a Factory Reset. So, thinking, what do I have to lose, I perform a Factory Reset, and guess what, this fixes it. It boots right back up normally. I didnt need a new battery, I didnt need a new motherboard, I didnt need a new phone. As I suspected from the start, it was completely a software issue, something to do with the latest Andriod update apparently.I chose to bring my phone to this company because they are a Google Authorized Repair Center, but in my case, I found them to be inept and unorganized.

I had a super positive experience at uBreakiFix in the Heights. Tristan, the person I spoke to, was super professional, friendly, and knowledgeable. I really admire how honest uBreakiFix was during the whole process. When it turned out that my phone wasnt as damaged as originally thought, they adjusted the repair fee down accordingly. Couldnt recommend this place more!

I’m sold on these guys. Polite, helpful, honest assessment of my problem. When they couldn’t fix my 4 year old machine’s motherboard issue they didn’t charge me a thing and they installed updates for free, too. I think the “Geek Sq.” would have charge me $200 for this service.

I took my MacBook in since the screen went black and refused to start up. I was contacted back within 48 hours and they got my MacBook up in running. Tristan did a great job in providing efficient and effective customer service. We used them before in the past and will continue seeking their help. Hands down get my vote of confidence.

I recently brought my laptop to the uBreakiFix Heights location and could not be happier with the service I received. I was having trouble connecting to WiFi in my home and after trying to troubleshoot myself with no success, decided that Id better have it looked at by a professional. Turns out I had a couple of loose wires that needed to be reconnected and was notified by Tristan that he had remedied the issue and at no cost to me. What amazing customer service! I could not recommend this place more! Seriously, if youre having computer issues and are technologically challenged like me, go see Tristan and the staff at uBreakiFix.

James has fixed 3 computers of mine for nearly the 3 years Ive lived in this area. He has been professional and at times recommended solutions that are good for the customer. Definitely knowledgeable and an authority on computers. The staff at UBreakiFix have integrity and will do what ever is right for the customer. I would give 10 stars if I could because I have never been disappointed!

Its ok. My phone is completely repaired. I paid $300 for the repairs putting down a deposit. When it came to pay the clerk wants to tell me how I was charged the incorrect amount blah, blah, blah... I was looking like, What does your co-workers mistake has to do with me? I have a Samsung, I broke my phone on vacation by dropping it multiple times in a row. Now, that its fixed I probably will never be back.

Thank you for your honesty! Due to your honesty, you will always have repeated clientele. My iPhone 7 Plus had a charging port issue due to lint being built up in it. They cleaned it out & were able to resolve my issue quickly. They could have charged me for my business, but said they wouldn’t since there was no technical issues with my phone other than the lint. I greatly appreciate their honesty & will definitely recommend them to my friends & family. Thank you!

This is my second time visiting them, which I chose to repeat because my previous experience with them was good. This time I had issues with the charging charging port of my iPhone X and thought it needed replacement. I set an appointment and they received the phone on time, applying the safety measurements during the pandemic. It turns out that it was only dirty and they explained this is very common on these ports. They solved my issue within a few minutes at no charge. Honest people with good knowledge. Recommended.

Promised repair completion in 3-4 days. Stated they had screen and lcd/digitizer in stock. Said they would contact me in a day or two to verify and confirm repair. None of that was true or occurred. Never contacted me and I had to call them after 9 days. At 11 days they finally called for diagnosis and confirmation of repairs. Two days later, 13 days, they said theyre closing and I had to either wait two weeks for them to re open and do repair or come get my still unrepaired ipad. Also said they had to order the part they previously said they had in stock. One lie after another. Horrible service .

I dropped a cup of hot milk into my laptop. uBreakiFix took care of it immediately and cleaned/dried it. The best of this, is that it was completely free, which I still dont understand how, but Im guessing that they are just hoping that I come back.

Watch out- I was told that if I wanted to fix my samsung phone screen I would have to 1) also buy a new battery that I didnt need, and 2) give them access to my personal data. Went down the street where the fixed my phone cheaper and faster than this place quoted. Avoid!Editing in order to respond: why should I have to back up and restore my whole device? Why does this company not simply do the testing with the customer present? Seems pretty suspect. Highly inconvenient at best.

The guys at the Heights store rock! I have visited them for 2 different repairs in the last month and not only did they repair my laptops but they were just a pleasure to deal with.I dealt mostly with James but also received excellent service from Kirby and one other gentleman (sorry) during my visits and numerous phone calls. I have trained and dealt with tech people in sales and customer service for years and I can honestly say I am impressed with every person I dealt with and the level of service they provided. They have been professional, personable, patient and knowledgeable with out being jerks about it. Thats huge! And the best part is, it doesnt seem canned as if they were just trained to say the right things, it just seems to come natural, which is, as we all know, a rare thing in any service industry these days. In fact, they took every opportunity to be nice by sourcing some badly needed equipment and software fixes that I didnt even anticipate! So yes, they took me the extra mile that we are all so desperately seeking guidance with. I am currently and will continue to recommend them to others. I cant over state what a comfort it is knowing there is a reliable tech repair source with excellent service and good people right around the corner! Go there now!

These guys are *AMAZING*. Friendly knowledgeable staff with great service! I thought my Pixel was a loss after getting dropped in salsa (connector, mic, speaker out), but they fixed it up like brand new and threw in a new battery too for half price! Since there was a tiny crack in the corner of my screen, there was strong concern it would grow when they took the phone apart and ruin the screen, but they were extra careful and able to do it with no problems.

My iPhone stopped charging, and my attempts to clean out the charging port were unsuccessful. I figured the port needed to be replaced. I took it to UBreakiFix, and Courtney examined the phone, then used a small dental tool to remove a small, unseen bit of plastic debris that had jammed down inside. Ten minutes, no charge, and the phone charges again. Nice people.

Yes, this is a true story. Not two feet out of the store with a freshly repaired iPhone 6 (broken screen), I somehow fumbled the naked and pristine phone from my hands. It was the longest 1.39 seconds of my life, it felt to be passing by in slow motion, and there was nothing that I could do but watch it brutally smack the concrete sidewalk. I already knew that the fall wouldve cracked the screen, but by instinct I hurriedly picked the phone up off the ground only to have my assumptions come true. At that moment I was faced with a certain humility and immediately two options presented themselves to me: 1. Turn and run, or 2. Cry. Ashamed, I turned my head towards the storefront and there standing behind the counter was the owner of the store with his hands clasped over his mouth. He saw it ALL happen. He was laughing, but at that point so was I. He waved me to come back into the store where we proceeded to relish in the sheer irony of the situation along with all of the other customers that were waiting to be helped. He took my phone and repaired it free of charge and all I could do was thank him, so humbly humiliated. Worth every bit of a 5 star review. Thank you uBreakiFix, loyal customer for life.
