EnSTech / iPhone Repair

ENS Tech has saved me hundreds - literally, hundreds- of dollars over the past few years. I admit that I am addicted to my iPhone but I can't stand those awful, bulky cases. As result, I break, damage, shatter my phone about twice a year. Each time I can rely on ENS tech to quickly repair my phone to its former glory.



I'm not super certain of the legitimacy of this business - cash only and don't think about getting a receipt but it's great to get the quality service of the Apple Geniuses without paying as much or waiting as long.



Like the others said, the shop is doesn't look super safe but we all live in DC for crying out loud. Chances are your neighborhood is just as sketchy.



Skip the headache of making a reservation one week in advance at The Apple Store.

As other Yelpers have mentioned, don't let the low-key, former garage, back alley exterior fool you. This guy is the man, not only has he hooked me up with iphone repairs and service he's a laptop guru as well. He's taken my bloved macbook pro back from the dead and up and running when the "guenius bar" told me that the best they could do was replace the hard drive with the same size and RPM that i had before...oh and because i did not have the official licences and source disks of my Creative Suite, Microsoft Office and other key video editiing softwear "those would all get wiped out. J-Man got me a huge and fast hard drive at a fraction of the cost the apple store. You do have to be patient with him, he gets so much business that his follow through and speed of some of the bigger jobs gets put on hold but, it'll get done.

I really dislike small electronics. Cell phones, blackberries, I-Pods, you name it. I hate that you have to charge them constantly. I hate the way they break at the drop of a hat. I hate hanging out with someone who receives approximately 100 text messages a day and listening to their effin' phone vibrate and ping every ten seconds. Most of all, I hate the fact that these terrible devices are a part of my life, against my will.



All this is leading up to my review, I promise (I just wanted to vent for a second). I have a blackberry that was issued to me by my job. Last night, at approximately 7:30 PM, my boyfriend took the battery out and then replaced it with tremendous force. He just doesn't know his own strength I guess. You know what happened next: blackberry broke. This was a real issue for two reasons: our company policy is if you break it you buy it, and I work from home and had one thousand conference calls scheduled for the next day.



I panicked for about ten minutes before googling cell phone repair shops in the area. ENS popped up as the first result. I called to see if they were still open, and Ermiyas promised to stay late to handle my phone, despite the fact that his store was technically closed at this point.



We were there within 10 minutes, and my berry was fixed in the next 15. Ermiyas replaced the broken part with a new part and made the whole thing look easy. He was also friendly, charged what I felt like was a fair amount, and didn't seem at all resentful that we'd barged in almost thirty minutes after regular hours were over. The place itself is located right in downtown DC which was highly convenient to my condo. The next time a device breaks, which I'm sure will be very soon, I'm heading straight back to ENS.
