portmahomack saint Posted April 27, 2018 Report Share Posted April 27, 2018 Just had a horrific experience from the mobile phone repair shop 61 high street, next to De beers, no point naming it, as it changes name periodically, job was to replace my screen. asked me to pay £50 upfront to book a slot would get my phone back in 2 to 3 hours, 48 hours later got my phone back with loads of major faults, phone was Gubbed. refused to give me a refund said phone had internal damage, it certainly has now and he caused it, phone was working fine when I gave him it, seems am not the only one to have problems with this shop. . its sits in a prime position for catching passing trade loads of students etc. The Venus Flytrap they should rename it, stay well away buddies Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Other similar stories going about. The guy that opened the shop is from Glasgow obviously does not realise what a small community it is here as such he won't last.

Put it another way would the shop be your first port of call if needing a phone or laptop fix. said shop 61 high street Paisley reviews Paid £80 to fix virus and reload Windows 7 - apparent immediately that he loaded a 32-bit OS, rather than as original 64-bit (caused all sorts of issues with my External). Now know the OS he loaded was not genuine - he argued otherwise obviously. I'm going through Consumer Direct/Trading Standards. utter shocking paid for my I phone 6 screen to get fixed costing 140 pound and still broken got it back with sides and bottom bent and home button not working and they are refusing to fix he phone or give me a replacement Worst service and attitude shops not up to much full of old rubbish Worst shop about went to I.T Repair All in Renfrew lad called Paul seems to be the only one local that’s knows what todo Avoid go to www.itrepairall.co.uk If you are looking for your phone to be repaired, please stay well clear of this shop. A while back put a phone in with broken screen to be returned to me with a total different fault being the lcd connector which i have just been notified by someone who has fixed it properly for me so the phone goes into shop with a broken screen and comes back out with a completely different fault. Unfortunately i didn't know this before putting another phone into the shop. The phone went into the shop at least two and half months ago to be repaired, constant excuses as to why it was still not repaired, hurray they had now fixed it. My son and his dad looks over the phone, seems all okay, goes out and sits in the car, asks son to take the clear film and tape off the front of the phone to see the screen had a crack, also again not working the way it was in the shop, went back into shop to complain and was told there was nothing they can do. totally furious to say the least, please stay clear.

div Posted May 3, 2018 Report Share Posted May 3, 2018 If you are needing a phone or tablet fixed then iRepairIT is a brilliant service. They are on the 1st floor of St.James Business Centre, across the road from McDonalds at The Phoenix. Think they have a shop in Paisley too but the Business Centre is easier to get parked at. I've taken iPhones in there with cracked screens and had them replaced within 2 hours. Prices very reasonable and about a third of what Apple charge. As for computer issues, if you have any problems with those then Core 2 Computing in the West End, straight across from Subway is the place to go. Very cheap, and great service.

OK I will play this once. If they have not been convicted then by definition you cannot make a quantitative judgment of how many unconvicted con men there are out there. You are guessing. Those of above average intelligence prefer to allow the law to determine which of our society are criminals and which are not, rather than relying on hearsay from a handful of anonymous keyboard warriors and trial by social media.

People like you have caused countless deaths over the years from lynch mobs to burning "witches" at the stake. I even remember your type hounding some poor bastard from their home in Portsmouth (I think) a few years ago when the knuckle dragging morons didn't know the difference between an paedophile and a paediatrican. I remember the photo of the word "PAEDO" written across her house in white paint. People like you are just a waste of space when you engage in this sort of activity. If you can prove this guy is a con man then do the decent thing and report him to the police and get him shut down properly. Oh hang on....that would require effort right?

Where am from we don't go running to the polis every time we have a problem, buddies on here can ignore my warnings if they choose and that includes you, but I know you wont.. ps You really should get out more Oaktree, witches, lynch mobs, and then you go and miss out the burning cross in the front garden, and you were doing really well too lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
