What Our Customers Are Saying

“
“Best service ever! I'd been putting off getting my phone screen repaired but I wouldn't have if I'd known how easy it was. These guys picked up my phone, repaired it, and dropped it back not only on the same day, but the same MORNING. Absolutely amazing. Thanks so much”
Britt M

“
“I went in to The Core to get a new battery for my iPhone 5 which has been suffering from terrible battery life. The guy I dealt with told me sure he could sell me a new battery but lets first check that you actually need one. After running a check he explained that my battery is actually fine and that the battery life issues aren't due to the battery itself. He proceeded to explain how I could fix the issue myself. I was really impressed with his honesty and integrity. He could have just said yes and sold me a new battery I didn't need.”
