iRepair Danforth

Update: We took the phone back and Michael (owner) replaced the sleep/​wake button for free. Thank you Michael for your excellent customer service and if we need any other repairs done on our Apple products, we would have no hesitation to bring it to you.
Thank you again!!!
We took an IPhone 5 in for a battery replacement and thought for $ 50 it was a fair deal. When we got the phone back, it kept searching for the mobile carrier. We called the store and was told to bring the phone back in. All they did was remove the SIM card and put it back in which they could have told us over the phone. Then the sleep/​wake switch stopped working– took it back in and they said it had nothing to do with the battery replacement (but it worked before the replacement just fine) and they would fix it for another $ 50. So for $ 50 I got a new battery but a broken IPhone.

So my phone suffered a casualty today… to the tune of a toddler throwing it on the ground, resulting in a completely shattered glass screen. I had to get this thing repaired asap. I thought most of the places were downtown, but I found this life-​saving place on Unilocal.
I have an iPhone5, that works, except for the above-​mentioned broken screen. I came in around 6pm (an hour before closing) with said emergency. It’s my only phone number, and main means of telling time, since I don’t often wear a watch.
They fixed it within the hour, with a few minutes to spare. The total was $ 129~ and some change. (They were offering a 5% discount with a donation of a non-​perishable food item, but I think that’s for the holiday season).
They were quick and professional, and I have my phone back again. I would come back again, but hopefully my devices keep running and I don’t have to.

my Mac pro had been acting up, I had to force shutdown as it stayed on the rolling ball. endlessly. When I re-​started it, it could not find the hard drive. Oh gosh, here we go again. Rather than mess it up more, I dropped it off at IRepair after work with Michael the owner. He called me a few hours later to pick it up fixed. Somehow a non moving part a rubber belt (harness) on the hard drive broke! I was so happy to get my computer back in perfect working order and the same day! Can’t say enough about these great people! thanks Steve…

They were great. Thought my phone was broken. Turned out it just needed a cleaning and they did it for free!

Took my iPhone 6 to have the glass replaced (my friend’s dog chewed one corner & dessimated the glass). Michael was very friendly & helpful. I had my newly repaired phone within 1 hour. I highly recommend this shop for fast repairs!!!

First time in, the wouldn’t take my glitching phone. The advice they gave me was to go home, back it up, run a restore and see if that fixed it for free. If that didn’t work, they said they would replace the screen for a reasonable price. If the problem was the motherboard, they said they would put back my screen, not charge me, and send me off to the apple store to beg for a swap of a refurbished phone. That sounded eminently reasonable to me!

They replaced the cracked screen on my 4^th gen iPod Touch for $ 75, done in 1.5 hours as promised. Service was quick and friendly. I’m completely satisfied, what more can I say?

You know when you go in to an Apple repair shop saying your phone died but you know its batteries are fine, and then you see that their staff t-​shirt has the answer to your problem? And the answer is «did you try turning it off and turning it on again?»
Right. That was me today. I forgot the «hard reset» method of turning my iPhone off and on again, and that was all it needed. And the guy who helped me was totally non-​judgmental, and proceeded to diagnose other problems I’d been having, and then explain them in language I could understand.
For example: your phone is slow because you’ve got too much stored in its memory. It’s like if you tried to get something from the back of a closet, but the closet is so full you can’t move without knocking things over and having them fall on your head. That’s how your phone is right now, and here’s how to solve it.
And they didn’t charge me a penny. The staffer (owner?) said «how can I charge you for a conversation?» Nice people, good service. And they have Star Wars figurines in the window.

Took my guitarist there because he was having a signal problem with his iPhone since he had his screen replaced in L.A.
Seconds after handing it over to Michael, we heard «Amateurs!» from the back room. In L.A. they forgot to replace some screws and they messed up the antenna. Michael fixed everything and didn’t want anything for his quick fix. We then ended up buying a few cool things from his super cool little shop. There really is nowhere else proper to go if you have a problem with your iPhone, iPod, etc. The authentic rock photos of Hendrix, as well as The Beatles, watch over the shop and they happened to be taken by our friend! See if YOU can guess who the photographer was!

Took a week to get what should have been a same day fix. Delivery of the part kept getting pushed back. That’s fine but would have appreciated been made aware of the delays instead of making my way to the store on a couple of occasions to be told we still don’t have the part. A simple response to my emails was all that was required.

I can’t call myself a customer technically, as what I needed done they didn’t even bother charging me for, even when I insisted on paying (to have some gunk removed from the headphone jack) but I will definitely be taking a currently shattered-​screen iPad 2 in to have the screen replaced after how helpful they have been.

Highly Recommended. Fair prices. Fast service. As good as it gets really. 1 hour and the phone is as good as new.

We’ve only had one iPhone repaired here, but they did a better job than the uptown location of iRepair and left my wife feeling both more confident in the repair and happier about the experience. Definitely worth a try.
The person my wife dealt with (the owner, perhaps) seemed knowledgeable about why the problem she was experiencing might be happening, and willing to solve problems that he hadn’t even created. He even made the wait more pleasant by getting her a drink at the nearby Red Rocket coffee shop (can’t swear that’ll be true for everyone, but it was a nice touch that she remembered).
