I live in this neighborhood. 'Main Gate Square' is 1 of the hundred reasons I feel as if I live in Heaven most of the time! Starbucks there, is my "hangout". For 8 years; they.ve treated me like I've known them all my life! 'Geronimo Park' (next to Starbucks.) is a shady, peaceful, beautiful little park where I can read, meditate, etcetera. Another awesome coffee house is one block east in "the square", named 'The Hookah'! You can sit outside and watch the people go by. I'm not interested in smoking tobacco out of anything taller than I am. But, you just ask a barista to get you one (for a price.) And their espressos are the best in Tucson! And in the back...shhhh, is a 'Speak Easy'! The ambiance in the neighborhood style bar is the same Bohemian/1920's as the espresso bar in the front. And they are all kind to me! And one of the best ( 2nd ONLY to Time Market, which is only 3 blocks west of 'Main Gate Square') "New York' style pizza in our great city is in ' No Anchovy's Pizza, where you can buy it by the slice! And when I've had enough, or in a hurry to get errands done for the day; and don't feel like going home; I just jump on the trolley (that's stop is in the middle of the square) to downtown with stops on 4th ave. on the way. Just one more reason I...

I found them on line yesterday Apr 15th, I made an appointment for 10am, Saturday the 16th of Apr to get my iPad screen replaced. I received many emails confirming the time and location. I arrived at 9:50am, they were closed. A sign with their hours of operation showed closed on Saturday but yet they sent me emails confirming my 10am appt for Saturday. Another customer was there waiting as well, said a man had come when he first got there, went in and came out and told this gentleman that they open at 10. I waited until 10:20 and had to leave. According to their ads you can drop your item off for repair and pick it up later. There was a phone number on their sign I called a few times, no answer at the UA main gate store and when I called their Tucson Mall location the message stated they were not available and the mailbox is full and it disconnected me. I will not recommend this business for anything. Very poor customer service. I now have to find a reputable store to...
