You take. They break. They lie. They don't fix.
Product: Samsung Z-Fold 3 Situation (10am-6:30pm): Took phone in for warranty repair and approval with ticket number from manufacturer. Left phone with manager with both screens working and a couple pixels missing on inside screen. After going back three times, making 4 calls to the manufacturer (one call on speaker phone while inside store with manager, Samsung rep and me) I received my phone back with pixels still missing on inside screen and now outside screen not working. The technician broke my outside screen. While the inside screen pixel issue was covered under warranty, I was asked for my credit card to pay for outside screen that they broke before manager would give me my phone. I didn't give manager my credit card and manager 'un-repaired' my phone before giving it back. Had to mail phone to manufacturer for repair for free, because it was approved to be covered under warranty. Samsung was great and handled me with the quality service any customer deserves, while uBreakiFix offered contrary service. While the manager's tone remained calm, what the manager said and did was different each of the three times I went into the store. Other details - Before my visit to uBreakiFix, I visited my local AT&T store, verified phone's manufacturer's warranty was still active and insurance claim was not necessary at this time. Called Samsung, confirmed condition of phone and that warranty covered issue, received ticket number and referred to two uBreakiFix locations nearest me. I chose the closest location - Spartanburg. I stopped by Spartanburg location to confirm that the part was in the night before and the store representative inspected my phone. I told him I'd return the next day for the warranty repair. In addition, the Samsung rep confirmed the part was to be mailed to the location and provided me the ticket number for the warranty repair. I was first person there at 10 am and the store manager checked me in and communicated with me most of the process. Protocol broken: Manager asked for my phone's access code and did not offer factory reset. Manager never provided me with a repair ticket after taking my phone back for warranty repair. Manager said Samsung only covers one repair during the warranty period. After breaking the outside screen on my phone, I now have two issues with my phone. I went to another uBreakiFix in the area to confirm protocol and found that the manager in fact broke several protocols noted above. I spoke with several manufacturer representatives and confirmed protocol was indeed broken. I can only review this location and based on my experience, I would not recommend this place to anyone. After reading other reviews it appears to be a consistent theme and changing the name of uBreakiFix does not change their practices and level of service. I can only imagine how much it costs the manufacturers because of mistakes and breaks their 'Authorized Technicians' make.
