Superb, Professional Competent service. Please read ENTIRE review! In a Jam I brought my last portable tube amplifier to Gadget fix. The input jack on my amp was shot. I did have a replacement jack, but was really bumming, because I wasnt sure if anyone would even want to look at it. This amp was/is one of my favorites and it’s a one of a kind. I walked into Gadget Fix with Amp in hand and spare part, I was greeted by Ian, and began to explain my problem. I also really wanted this for the weekend (It was Friday morning) but I didnt want to push it. Ian went in the back and got Zack (who is the resident tech). Zach looked at it and said “sure I can fix this, but it’s going to be about an hour because I’m getting my car worked on and I have to go pick it up right now”. “20 Bucks “he said. I was so happy; I said you got 2 hours no problem. When I came back in to pick up my repaired amp, Zack came out and explained specifically what he had to do, as my replacement input jack was slightly different than the original. This was the cool part, because he was explaining it like a doctor going over how he mended a compound fracture. He was really into it, and very fussy about his work, a perfectionist. He said “I think I got it in the right spot with just enough solder, but if there are any problems, bring it back and I’ll fix it for nothing”. When I got home I inspected his work thoroughly. The repair work was absolutely beautifully done. The jack was in a tight spot also. Solder was perfectly placed, and just the right amount. It looked better than all the other solder joints on the board. I was confident there were no problems, and there were not. I spent my entire weekend using this amp, and thought numerous times how grateful I am/was to Zack, Ian and Gadget Fix for taking care of me, and not bringing me to the cleaners while doing so. May you have many more happy customers

Really clever people trying to sell you their stuff. They dont know much about laptops, they atleast didnt know anything about how to repair my laptop. I had to guide them on how to do it (they had to only apply a thermal paste, I wish I knew how to do it, I would never have had to approach them). Please dont take their words as final. Do your research, consult a few people if you dont know about computers. These people will try to sell their stuff and their services to you, for no reason whatsoever. I had a GPU issue and these guys told me that formatting hard disk would fix that (GPU and hard disk have no relation) and they wanted to charge an extra $45 for data backup (+ additional $75 for repair). I ended up paying $75 just to get them to apply thermal paste. They also dont know what a dual boot is, they saw my dual boot screen and said that the laptop doesnt boot into an operating system. WORST LAPTOP REPAIR PLACE EVER SO FAR IN MY EXPERIENCE!

I have an Ipod Classic that would not sync. I went to Genious Bar at Apple, unfortunatly no genious there. I called many shops higher up list on Yelp and no one fixed Ipods but was referred to company in California. They did fix Ipods , at a very expensive fixed price.I called Gadget fix , talked to Zach, and he said they did , I brought it in , he had it diagnosed and fixed by 5 oclock. Turns out it was not harddrive at all , but pins on connector were loose so while it would charge it would not sync, my computer would not recognize when plugged in. This company great , friendly , and efficient , and i dont know if they have some magic essential oil infuser cause it smells good in there! they also have free parking for there shop ,

This place is amazing.. Brought in a cracked Nexus 6P screen on Wednesday an hour before closing, The guys had it fixed before noon the next day. These were the only guys who had the 6P parts in stock, saving me from waiting at least 2-3 days without a phone... The fix quality is amazing and looks/is original manufacturer quality. Ryan and the rest of the team were amazingly knowledgeable and professional. This place is located in downtown but provide validate parking in the underground garage so no worries there.. Will come again..

I test a shop by going in and asking for cost of something I know how much the equipment would cost. I asked for replacement of a charging port on my s6 edge guy told me 100 + tax. The cost price of the charging port on ebay is 10$ with repair tools. I am sure some labour cost is fair but 90$ for cost of labour on a 10$ part is just outrageous. The guy even wanted to keep the money flowing by telling me works that "might" be needed and the cost can go up. Dont waste your money by going there.

Worst customer service Ive felt with in a while. Paid for a repair after getting home I realised the part was defective. Drove back to the store. Manager told me hed get a new part and fix while I wait. Went back a few days later. Different manager was confrontational. Said he wouldnt fix while I wait. And told me if hed been there he wouldnt have agreed to fix my phone. My phone is still broken and I havnt been refunded any money. Go to gadget fix. This place is horible

These guys are professional and competent. They helped me fix my phones broken screen at the best price. The first time I broke it. The second time, two weeks later, they helped me again, with sympathy and proficiency, and even helped me pick out a case this time. All of it affordable and done right. Im a customer for life, which might be often with the way my luck has been.

These guys are no only knowledgeable, but theyre also good businessmen. They were unsure as to whether I had previously broken a small very delicate piece in my phone before getting there or it broke while they were fixing the screen. However, they pointed it out to me, took on the labor cost and just fixed it to be safe. Good character keeps businesses open. Thanks guys!

I was very happy with the support Gadget Fix provided. My hard drive was failing, and they not only popped open my laptop to confirm the problem free of charge but gave me very helpful guidance about picking out a replacement. And they were fast! Im writing this review from the repaired laptop, which I just dropped off earlier today.

This place is more than just a phone-repair shop. It is a secret treasure room of knowledge and support regarding all the technical gadgets (including regular old laptops and computers) that occupy our 21st Century lives. The staff here are what set this Belltown business at the top. Their honest, direct, and incredibly helpful.

They repaired my nexus 5s screen in less than 30 minutes. While the phone worked great afterwards, there were some cosmetic issues (large bubbles under the screen). I took it back to them and they honored the 6 month warranty and were happy to make it right. Excellent customer service and great work. Highly recommend.
