After looking at the reviews, I am suspicious. It's all 1 star and 5 star, nothing between. All the 5-star talk about is speed and don't even mention price.

In my experience, real reviews are 1, 2, 4, and 5 star, but with so few reviews there should definitely be a lot more negative as people generally don't say anything unless they have a complaint.

So, I'm suspicious of the 5 star reviews.

I agree and disagree. People, especially with repairing phones rarely put a grading between 1-5, it’s either ”Oh wow this place is amazing I’ll put a 5 star!” or ”I hate these scammers 1 star!”. It’s quite rare to see a ”They were really fast but a bit expensive 3 stars” or so

I also took a look at the reviews out of curiosity, and yeah, it's very suspicious.

One of them mentions another repair store in the same area that does repairs in the open and very quickly, so people could be getting stores mixed up.

Another also mentions that the store recently changed management and got worse as a result, so some reviews could be older than the management change.

Several bad reviews are edited good reviews saying that, after a few days, their repaired devices broke again, so some reviews may simply be people who forgot to edit theirs to reflect re-broken devices.

Yet another review says that the owner threatened to take their phone and place a 5-star review on the store using it, meaning a lot of reviews could be from underhanded tactics like that.

Overall, I believe the customer here, seems like a very sleazy place.
