Repair Lounge at a glance

Customers frequently cite the shop's friendly, knowledgeable staff, reasonable pricing, and efficient turnaround for services like battery replacements, screen repairs, and data transfers. Recurring themes include transparent communication and a local neighborhood feel that encourages repeat business. However, some low-star reviews highlight issues with the use of aftermarket parts, such as non-original Apple batteries, and isolated instances of perceived dishonesty or unresolved repairs.

Got the battery on my Samsung S23 Ultra changed, since it degraded below 70% health over the years. Unfortunately I forgot to ask whether they use original or after market batteries, and I got an aftermarket one, which is consistently showing only 87% health, despite being new. Not happy at all. It's an improvement,…

Got the battery on my Samsung S23 Ultra changed, since it degraded below 70% health over the years. Unfortunately I forgot to ask whether they use original or after market batteries, and I got an aftermarket one, which is consistently showing only 87% health, despite being new. Not happy at all. It's an improvement, but it doesn't last as long as it did when I got this phone. If I new they were gonna use an aftermarket battery, I would have taken it to a different shop to get an original Samsung battery.

Response from the owner · 5 days ago

Bring it back in, we would be happy to swap it out for an original Samsung battery.

went to go get my phone screen replaced because my previous screen replacement from another store was horrendous (there were purple spots, the screen kept activating off touch from anything that made contact with it, such as the side of my palm and being in a tight pocket) and the screen cracked after being dropped once when my original screen suffered way more (oops) they were very friendly and kind, were very clear about the process and pricing (even if the total came out to be more than expected on my end, it was still cheaper than the other stores i called) and the repair was very fast. its been few days and i've had no issues with my new screen or screen protector, and i genuinely cannot stop fawning over just how nicely it's been working. if any of my other electronics break the repair lounge going to be my new go-to for consideration; it's been such a relief to finally have my phone stop bugging out for the past month T-T
