My boyfriend came across ifixyouri on google, apparently it's an iphone repair company that has nothing to do with apple at all

I dropped my phone a couple of days ago and cracked the screen, im looking to get it fixed but hate to spend $200 at apple....has anyone heard of this repair company- ifixyouri??

the website is like ifixyouri.com

let me know if you have used it and whether or not it is a legit company or not...thanks!
 
They're excellent!

They are excellent! I just used them for the second time. Was searching for a place to write a review for them and came across this post. Both times they fixed my broken iPhone 4 (this last time I had dropped it in the pool!) and iFixYouri shipped it right back to me overnight. Like a new phone. Love them! Their prices are very reasonable also -- they capped the repair cost (around $160) and replaced several parts.

Don't use ifixyouri

I was very unhappy with the service i received at ifixyouri. I had water damage to my iphone 4s. I was happy to know that there was an opinion left for me. I placed my phone rice and waited. When i found out that it would only be $65 with shipping to repair i thought it was a great deal. However, when i sent my phone off for repair i learned that it would take $130 to place the vibration switch and the screen. I thought the everything was included in the beginning price but, no.
When i received my phone the $70 replaced vibrate switch was extremely slanted. This would not have been such a big deal if it was not $70 and the rest of the phone worked. My headphone jack also DID NOT WORK. When i charged my phone it got extremely hot! I called the company they offered to repair the phone again. However, they would only do two day shipping which means i would not have my phone for about six more days. There was no guarantee that they would fix it and there could have been more fees in order to fix the phone. The job should have been done right the first time. They claimed that the water damage could have caused the headphone jack to go out as it was shipped back to me and it was in working order when it left the store. The most they were able to offer me back was $30. I PAID a TOTAL of about $195 for a BROKEN PHONE with shipping included.
I suggest that you find a local cell phone repair shop or check the mall before you send your phone! It will save you a headache and time without your phone. If they can remove the water and salt that is caused by the water damage your phone will probably work.
 
Using ifixyouri NULLIFIES the ability to take advantage of apple $199 replacement!!!

Be VERY WARY of using this service!!! They WILL disassemble your phone, and, if they cannot fix it, you are stuck with an expensive brick as Apple will not take it as a trade in for replacement due to its being serviced by "an unauthorized third party" shop. Dont buy the news hype about this service- its definitely not worth the risk. Its much smarter to just go to Apple and pay the $199 for a refurb replacement!!!

[doublepost=1498233894][/doublepost]AVOID! Like most things in life, you get what you pay for...
My 7-10 screen repair on my laptop took 2+ months. Good luck getting a call back or even getting someone to answer the phone! I had to drive up every week to get updates and was strung alone for more than six weeks.
BUYER BEWARE!!!!
