I went in today to fix a cracked iPhone 5s screen. The guy (forgot to ask his name) was friendly and knowledgeable with what I needed done. My best friend sent me her old phone so I could use it instead of my old iPhone 4, so I needed to make sure it was reparable before switching cell service to the 5s. They replaced my screen and added a layer of tempered glass in less than 45 minutes. I walked in with no appointment and got excellent customer service from guy #1 and lady #1 (also friendly and knowledgeable). This shop also doubles as a vape shop in the back which, oddly enough, works out really well. Would definitely go back for future services. Thanks for all your help!

The people here are awesome! I came in with a broken screen, and left about 45 mintues later with it all fixed! The price is a little high initially (just because new screens from anywhere are expensive) but they gave me 10% off for being a student and a free tempered glass screen protector, so in the end it was definintely worth it! I will definitely come back if I have any other issues with my phone.

Brought my phone in for a broken screen and earpiece. The staff really seem to know what they’re doing repair-​wise and everyone was very friendly. I enjoyed hanging out in the vape lounge while I waited. Will definitely come back next time I need a repair.

My phone wasn’t charging so I took it here to get it fixed. The workers were really friendly and helpful and got my phone fixed in no time at all. This is the place to go in IV to get electronic devices fixed, I had a great experience and completely recommend it.

Ron, Casey, and Elina helped me out with my Iphone 5s that which for no reason stopped charging and ran out of battery and turned dead. These guys are super friendly and give out professional advice, prices are reasonable. Definitely a go-​to for repairs and electronic issues in Isla Vista!

To be honest I’ve always been worried about taking my phone to 3rd party repair shops, i-​caramba definitely changed my mind about that. I recently moved to Santa Barbara and my second night here I managed to completely destroy my phone. I checked out a few places downtown to get it taken care of but I had a sketchy feeling about all of them. I came to icaramba and spoke to Donavan about it… I ended up hanging out at the shop for 45 minutes talking to the guy. He was very upfront with me and was extremely knowledgable about iPhone repair. I got my phone done at a better price then all the other places offered. Being the over worried guy I am, I still took my phone in to Apple to have them double check everything and they said they couldn’t tell any 3rd party work had been done to it! Definitely recommend this place! Wouldn’t go anywhere else now.

Great service and atmosphere. Phone screen repairs are affordable and much more convenient than going all the way to an Apple Store.

Got my iphone 6 repaired here, charged 149 dollars which is high to begin with and as soon as I drove 50 miles home the screen started to malfunction. Had to drive all the way back to get it done right.

I dropped my phone completely under water, it wouldn’t turn on and I thought it was a lost cause. Within three hours he was able to fix the main board and give me a new screen for a good price! Highly recommend! Thanks again!

iPhone 5s just randomly died on me randomly and I couldn’t figure out what was wrong with it. Came by and Donavan just opened it right up and figured out it was due to a faulty previous installation. Super quick and professional, even hooked it up with a tempered screen. Definitely come by

Goleta, CA
Had to kind of laugh at the Smartphone/​Tablet Repair and Vapor Boutique combo. Maybe that’s what made for the mellow experience. My son dropped my husband’s iPad and I needed it fixed asap. Actually took a couple of days but looks and acts good as new. I was definitely satisfied with the service. Nice guys and excellent outcome at a fair price. I will definitely use them again if the need arises.

Same day phone repairs and prices that can’t be beat. They even offer student discounts! I definitely see why they have a large customer base. They can fix pretty much any problem with your devices and they’re knowledgable.

Best atmosphere possible. Went in for some new e-​liquid and the selection is top notch, anything you’re looking for as far as phone repair or vaping tech is there. Service is phenomenal, both sides of the store can answer almost any question you have, and even if you’re just there to try some juice flavors and have good conversation, i-​Caramba is the place to be. Will definitely be a regular!

Wonderful service, prices, and conversation! Met with Ron to fix my shattered iPhone 5 screen, it took less than an hour to replace AND I was met with a very student-​friendly price. Be sure to check them out!
