Phone Vitals

Even though it said CLOSED, I thought I’d take a shot and call. I spoke to Patrick, he said they were low on parts, so that’s why they temporarily closed until January. He said he’d check to see if he happened to have our part in stock and he’d call me back.
He did call back and he had the part! We made a plan and the best part was HE COMES TO YOU! He was professional, courteous and prompt. He’s easy to communicate with in person or via text.
Oh, also he was cheaper than my next favorite cell phone repair place by a decent amount, plus did I mention HE COMES TO YOU!
Five stars, «Woohoo! As good as it gets!»? Well, it does NOT get better than this! Six stars, if it were possible!

I’m pretty tech iliterate so naturally I have an iPhone 6, which is unfortunately made by Apple, the shittiest company in the world. Sadly, Apple makes these phones with the cheapest materials known to man, straight out of slave labor factories in China, so needless to say I dropped my phone on the carpet and the screen shattered. Raymond and Patrick helped me out and fixed it in about 20 minutes. Good service and good prices. What more can you ask for?

Phone Vitals in Goleta was able to fix my Galaxy S5 last minute and its good as new. Mr. Tam was very professional, responsive and available. He also helped me with a screen protector for future mishaps. I highly suggest giving him a call or text if you are in need of screen repair, the prices are on point compared to everyone else in SB/​Goleta.

This guy is awesome, legitimate, and cheap.
He really knows his stuff, he was able to explain everything wrong with my phone and point out all the components. He showed me where the problems of my phone were and clearly identified how he fixed it. I thought it was cool.
Long story short, He is efficient, can keep conversation, and doesn’t charge a lot

Patrick the man. I’ll be bringing my future electronics to Patrick. After an unsuccessful experience with Celltek downtown, I took my iphone 5 to him. Turns out it’s possible that they messed my phone up. I originally was getting the power button fixed, but then they said it couldn’t be done and gave me my phone back, except it had a line going down the screen, which it didn’t have before I let them work on the phone.
So Patrick had to solder some piece back onto the board + he fixed the power button too. Now my phone works like new again.
I’m going to bring him my cracked macbook pro too, which he works on. I highly recommend you check out Patrick’s services.

This guy Patrick knows how to fix screens! I read a lot of comments here and went in to fix my nexus 4 without looking elsewhere. As promised phone was fixed within the hour. I have been using my phone again for a week now and its working just as before. To top that he gave a reasonable price for the job.

Broke your phone? Stop fretting and go visit Patrick! He’s affordable and efficient, all without compromising quality. Fixed my phone like new in about an hour and half and that was exactly what I needed to make a stressful situation not so bad after all :)

I specifically re-​downloaded Unilocal on my iPhone to write this review.
I’m walking out Ortega carrying food and my phone, and I trip my instincts dumbly go to save the food before it falls. Food is safe. Screen of iPhone… in a thousand pieces.
One Google search led to me Phone Vitals, where I easily texted him to make an appointment when I was free, dropped off my phone, got a smoothie, and it was 100% fixed in 15 minutes. He also sold me a great case for $ 5 and a screen protector for $ 3. The screen itself was $ 80.
easy, painless, quick, and he was so nice! I ABSOLUTELY recommend!

PATRICK IS THE MAN!!! I didn’t think I’d be able to find an affordable cellphone repair shop in the area, but I got super lucky when I discovered his Unilocal page and reviews… I own a Samsung Galaxy S5. I accidentally dropped my phone on the ground and the screen went completely black and wouldn’t turn on. I thought it was a glitch so I tried some trouble shooting for a few days. Nothing worked, so I decided to surrender my device to an expert. Patrick was prompt when I initially sent in my inquiry online (it was Thanksgiving weekend), and gave me an affordable quote for the screen repair, it reflects the quote on his website. He gave me options, 1– I was free to send my phone into the manufacturer for repair, 2-​Order the part (new lcd screen) and have him replace it (for a bargain) 3– Have him order the part, leave device as a deposit and pay when picking up 4-​Go to another repair place that will charge double. Anyway, my overall experience was great. Patrick gave me an estimated time that the phone would be ready, the only reason it took about a week was because the part needed to be sent to him.
Thanks Patrick!

Patrick does great work. Quick. Offers additional advice on best products to keep your iphone safe and running in top shape. Fixed my iphone front and back.

Patrick is the expert in electronics! Definitely come to him first if you’re looking for tech support. Spent months with best buy, frys, and other local shops in IV with no luck. Patrick fixed the problem overnight.

I never had to get an iPhone repaired before, but there is a first for everything. I am so glad this was my first experience bc Patrick is awesome! His service is quick, efficient, precise, and informational. I sat in a comfy chair and watched him fix my disgraceful iPhone 5c screen in 15 minutes. I like that he is friendly and engages in conversation during his work so you never get bored! My phone now looks brand new :)

Patrick’s the best! He’s very chill and knows his stuff about phones. Got my iPhone 5s screen fixed and he fixed one of the corners too on my phone. He did all that in like 30 mins and wasn’t as much as other places. He’s also in IV which was convenient. Hopefully I don’t break it again, but I’d go back to him if I did :)

Patrick is a phone whiz! He’s fixed my phone multiple times quickly at a great price as well as given me sound advice on products to help protect my phone from future breakage. Would 100% recommend him to anyone with broken devices!!!

Went there today and got a great deal! He was really busy and it still only took 30 minutes. He clearly knows what he’s doing and for a lot less then anyone else. Please don’t waste your money at stupid electronic shops and just go here.

Patrick’s awesome! He’s an honest and knowledgable guy on this stuff. My screen started to like pop out, kinda weird, and was making this mark in the screen. I actually took it to another shop before I came to Patrick and they said I needed a new screen. The guy said it wasn’t serious to replace the screen immediately, so I decided to wait.
So like a few months later, I noticed the screen was popping out more. A friend at school then referred Patrick to me and I took it to him. He actually opened the phone up (which the other shop didn’t) and said I just needed a new battery.
Turns out the battery was expanded and he showed it to me. Definitely didn’t seem normal haha.
So he just replaced that and the screen was able to fit back in perfectly.
He doesn’t have a storefront, but I guess that doesn’t really matter, he saved me quite some $$.
I’ll be going back to him if I ever have any problems with my phone!

They’re great. Fixed my iPhone 5 screen in only 20 minutes same day. It only cost $ 75 which is way cheaper than anywhere else you’ll be able to find and plus he actually uses the OEM parts from Foxconn so it’s legit and not some copycat crap.
Definitely worth going to them.

I had recently dropped and cracked my iPad. I brought it into the Apple Store for a consultation but was immediately told that it would be impossible to replace. o_​_​O The employee didn’t bother providing an explanation and proceeded to talk to other customers. Disgusted by the horrendous customer service, I left the store frustrated.
With Apple out of the picture completely, I went online to see if I could find someone to replace and fix my cracked iPad screen and IVRepair had popped up after a quick search. I had scheduled an appointment with him over the phone and I took my device to Patrick and he began working on it for me and it was repaired within a couple hours and it looked brand spanking new just like the first day I opened it out of the box. D: I can’t thank him enough for all the time and effort that he has put into repairing my iPad. He offers prices that are significantly lower than his competitors and is an extremely talented individual. I would definitely recommend him because I know I will be back again whenever I need another repair. Thanks again! :D

I upgraded to an iPhone 5 because my iPhone 4’s battery just gave out. It’s been sitting around for a while and decided I should look to see what I should do with it. Patrick replaced it quick and easy for $ 20.
I would recommend him to anyone.

I’ve done one of the stupidest mistakes and dropped my iPhone one day while getting out of the car. I was so sad and couldn’t believe that I cracked my iPhone screen. After Unilocaling around looking for someplace cheap that would fix my screen I found iv Repair.
Gave them a call and the guy Patrick was really helpful in asking me what the problem was and quoted me on the cost of $ 50 to fix my iPhone 4S. He said to stop by and that they could try to fix it for me that day.
I got there and he told me what needed to be done to take off the screen and said he’ll get right to work if I wanted a new screen. After about 45 mins, he gave me back my phone and it looked just as new as when I first got it from the Apple store.
I’m glad I was able to find someone who knew what they were doing and was able to fix my phone quickly. Not to mention that their prices was much cheaper than some other stores. If I ever got another broken iPhone, I would definitely come back.
