Robyn Golder4 September 2023Great service from Michael, who was able to get my water affected samsung working again on the day for a reasonable fee.
Stuart Dent28 August 2023Friendly and great service. I made the mistake of having Buzztime change out the battery instead of me having Apple diagnose the problem first. Buzztime $129 for third party battery. Apple $115 for Apple battery. Kicking myself. So be sure before hand.
