Hello - My name is Rex Frye, and I'm the founder and owner of FryedPhones. I retired from corporate America a couple of years ago and decided to start this business to help people by doing something that I love. I'm asked all the time why my prices are lower than everyone else's. It's because my overhead is lower than everyone else's.
I'm a one-man show. I perform every repair myself. I rent a small office in Costa Mesa and have no retail space, no employees and no franchise fees. My goal is to provide quality service at a reasonable price, not to turn a huge profit. That's what makes FryedPhones different from all the other iPhone repair shops.

Services
The Apple OEM screen uses the original digitizer (touch screen) and original LCD (true Apple colors). The aftermarket screen does not use any original Apple components. The colors will be faded, and the touch will be different. Our 100% lifetime warranty covers all aspects of the screen except for water damage and user damage such as screen damage caused by the phone being dropped etc.
I broke my screen on iPhone 6S plus I called insurance company I had with carrier service I was paying them $11 a month for 2 years now I call them to fix my phone they wanted me to pay $199 just for a broke screen. So I look up online and find Fryedphones and they charge half that price ($69) Rex came over to my house the next morning and i wasn't home but waited for me and fixed my phone in less than can hour.

I called another business about repair to my cracked cellphone screen. They said it would take at least 3 hours to repair.
I remembered Fryedphones was closer and called. I was told it would take 30 minutes, and the price was $30 dollars cheaper.
I brought it in and it did only take 30 minutes. Fryed was also friendly and helpful.

I was searching for a place to replace my daughter's cracked iPad screen. I reached out to a few places on Yelp & Rex was the first one to response. I decided to go with him because he sounded very friendly, personable & helpful. I'm so glad that I made this decision. He IS very nice in person! He fixed the screen in just one day & I'm so happy with how great the iPad looks now! I can tell that Rex really cares about his works & the quality he provides. I'll be bringing my iPhone here for a new battery & screen protector replacement next! Thanks a lot Rex

BEST EXPERIENCE YET. Got an iPhone screen fixed here. Rex (owner) was the quickest to reply on here. Great communication. Got exactly what I wanted and quick too! He's a very nice and considerate guy. I felt safe leaving him my phone. Lastly, he did not pressure me into getting anything extra & his prices were exactly what we agreed upon. I HIGHLY recommend coming here!!!

He did so well on my phone ! I couldn't be more grateful. I was able to come during my hour lunch and drop it off for 30 min and came back and he was all set and done ! I was able to get back from lunch and still have time to eat some before clocking in . Great service and very responsive and reliable! Thanks so much and will definitely be coming back in the future if I ever break my phone again

I can't say enough great things about Rex....I'm glad my boyfriend and I stumbled on his business when we have been replacing his iPhone 11 Pro screen from at least three other places that made cheap phones screen. Needless to say none lasted past 6 months.
Rex was kind enough to meet up with us on a Sunday and you can clearly see that he loved what he does. He even helped us with putting on a screen protector to help us out to keep this from happening again when my boyfriend dropped it the second time. The quality was so much better than all the rest.
Thank you Rex for a great customer

My IPhone picked up a virus, and it was acting odd. Meetings would constantly appear, that were taking up the memory. I saw FryedPhones had excellent reviews, so I trusted them to fix the problem. They are located on Adams near Brookhurst in HB, in the same strip mall as Polly's.
Rex to the rescue! Rex took me in as a walk in (you are supposed to text first; I didn't see the foregoing til later). He said at first he would wipe the phone. Luckily I had everything backed up.
Unfortunately, the first action didn't work. However, Rex warned me of this and took more extensive

My screen was broken on my iPhone X, and the guys here quickly gave me a quote of $80, which is super fair. They were really sweet and fixed my phone quickly.
Unfortunately, it started glitching. I took it back and they knew immediately what was wrong. They fixed it for free and even went above and beyond to put a more expensive screen on my phone for free.
I also bought a screen protector for $20 and it has a life time warranty!

11/10 service to me means completely honest, quick, efficient, professional and goes above and beyond. This is exactly the service I've received from Rex at FryedPhones. He replaced my screen for cheaper than anyone else quoted me and was even able to pick it up from a couple blocks away and return it when do. I had a minor issue with the screen a few weeks later and he completely took care of me.
He exceeded my expectations and is extremely nice too. 11/10 for that. I've saved his info and will be returning to Rex for all my future needs. 5 stars doesn't distinguish Rex and FryedPhones
