I called this store on Aug 10th to see if they would work something out with me for my phone repair. They had order a rear camera for my phone and they still had it there. Instead of going to another repair shop and having to wait over a week to order a rear camera specifically for my phone.I thought I'd give them a chance to honor the first job they never performed. Unfortunately I spoke with the same person that I had a problem before. (******). He did more double-talking than before. So I just told him to forget it. I ended up going to ********* **** to order the part and scheduled an appointment for repair. ****** continued to be unprofessional and a double-talker."

(The consumer indicated he/she DID NOT accept the response from the business.)
The person that handled my scheduled repair was incompetent. The phone never made it to the back of the store work area to be repaired. He double taked his way out of his incompetence in order to cover himself. Now the store is saying to was a technical issue here as an explanation.
Whereever there is a review for this store I will take time to write out my negative review amd mention this person's name so others will know.

With over 1,000 locations in the United States and Canada, we are one of the largest franchise systems in North America that specialize in consumer electronic repair.
After receiving your matter, we investigated your concerns using the information you provided (specifically your name and phone number), but were unable to find any work order or other information related to your matter. According to your complaint, you visited the Spring Creek UBIF store for a repair on your Desktop Computer (the "Device"). Repairing a Desktop Computer can be complicated, and often Desktop Computers take longer to repair than other device types due to their complex nature and the problems they can exhibit. Unfortunately, in this case, we were unable to repair your Device due to a variety of factors, including the backlog of repairs already at the store.
We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused you. Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions. I am available Monday through Friday between the hours of 9:30 am to 4:00 pm CST.
