SCAMMER. Using after market batteries to replace phones, And lying and telling you it’s an Apple battery and then when you confront him about it, he can’t even tell you what kind of battery it is and will refuse to show you In June 2025, I brought MY iPhone 12 Pro Max to this store for a battery replacement. Apple had previously diagnosed that the only issue with my device was the battery. I was told the repair would take 30–60 minutes, and I waited nearby.

Using after market batteries to replace phones, And lying and telling you it’s an Apple battery and then when you confront him about it, he can’t even tell you what kind of battery it is and will refuse to show you In June 2025, I brought MY iPhone 12 Pro Max to this store for a battery replacement. Apple had previously diagnosed that the only issue with my device was the battery. I was told the repair would take 30–60 minutes, and I waited nearby. When I received my phone back, two notifications appeared that had not been present before: one regarding the SIM card not registering and another indicating the battery was not a genuine Apple part. I asked the owner about these messages, but he could not confirm the specific type or manufacturer of the battery installed. Kept trying to brush me off telling me that it’s an Apple battery and when I asked him the specific type of battery, he tried to tell me yeah that one, but couldn’t confirm what I had just told him. Within minutes of leaving the shop, the iPhone 12 Pro Max began to expand and then emitted smoke inside my vehicle. I have video evidence of this incident. I immediately returned to the store and showed the device to the owner. He did not address the issue while other customers were present and asked me to wait until the store was empty. After further discussion, he eventually provided me with another phone, which he represented as an iPhone 14 Pro Max, instead of refunding the cost of my original device. Since receiving the replacement phone, I have observed overheating and visible swelling of the battery area, similar to what I experienced before my iPhone 12 Pro Max failed. I returned to the store to show the problem. The owner briefly took the phone out of my sight, adjusted some screws, and returned it to me, but the expansion of the case is still visible. He declined to provide details about the source or type of the batteries used in the repair or replacement phones. At this time (September 18, 2025), I continue to have concerns about the safety and reliability of the replacement device. My experience raises serious questions about the quality of parts being used and the lack of transparency regarding the repairs.NOT HONEST Photo below of the state of my 12 pro max And below is also The state of the iPhone what he claims is the 14 Pro Max he did repair this phone and put it back on his shelf. This is the phone that he gave me after blowing up my iPhone 12 Pro Max and now the battery is expanding When I took it into him, he took it to the back, screwed the screw in and told me that it wasn’t screwed down all the way without even ever acknowledging the fact that the screen is literally coming up out of the case. DO NOT COME HERE. He’s scamming by using batteries that are not equipped to be put in placed into an iPhone and saying that whatever happens afterwards is not his. Again, my first replacement with this guy, the phone literally blew up in my car, not even an hour after getting fixed by him.
