I entered the shop in the morning with an unusable iPhone 10, completely smashed screen….walked out a couple of hours later with a working fully repaired phone. Excellent service from Anuk, will certainly use again in the future if needed.

Had my Samsung S23 ultra screen repaired by Anuk and the team at Smashed IT Parnell. He was awesome and so was the experience. Seamless from start to finish, as they kept me informed every step of the way. Great job guys. Hope I don’t need your services again for a wee while but if I do you’ll be the first person I call. 5 stars!
